vention, expects to second the nomination
of Taft at Chicago this year.

vention instructed its delegates to Den

inyly defeated a motion to name Bryan
as second choice.
1t has been openly admitted that prac-
tically all of the Republican leaders who
at first tried to organize movement
against the candidacy of Secretary Taft
have now joined in the Taft procession.
Various motives are given, but the fact
is no longer questioned. This virtual
stampede is accompanied with some re-
newal of the third term talk, since Utah
and Texas voiced the demand for ROose-
welt first This appears to give color to
the statement widely circulated that the
conservatives have accepted Taft in order
to prevent the possibility of a convention
stampede for the President.
Chairman New of the Republican ma
tional committee, has announced that no
tickets to the Republican national con-
vention would be sent to any one by mail,
no matter whom he might be. Every
ticket 70 the national convention will be
kept under lock and key until forty-eight
hours before the convention doors are
opened. and then they will be distributed
only in Chicago. Owing TO the uncheck-
ed deluge of ticket demands Mr.. New
has decided that no season tickets will be
issued To make them go as far as pos
sible. the tickets will be issued by ses-
sions.
The Bryan bureau has put forth the
claim to two-thirds of the Democratic del
egates so far chosen. of which 25S dele
gates are instructed for the Nebraskan.
South Dakota Prohibitionists have
nominated a full State ticket. headed by
G.. r. Erskine of Mitchell for Congress,
and q. L. Knappen of Brookings for Gov
ernor Ben Brave, che of the presiden-
tial electors, is full-blood Sioux Indian.
Fred Il. Lynch of st. Paul. manager
of the Johnson presidential boom, has
been in Washington recently, and made
sufficient impression among the Bryan
men to arouse the ire of the Nebraskan's
leaders.
Gov Cummins of Iowa. in a speech at
Rock Rapids, claimed he would defeat
Senator Allison by 5000 votes at the
primaries.
In case William j. Bryan receives the
Democratic nomination, his daughter,
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt, will take the
stump in Colorado. Wyoming and several
other Western States, and will campaign
in her fathers interests.
Gov. Hughes will not under any cir
cumstances be a candidate for second
place on the Republican national ticket.
He has so stated his position in letter
to Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford, head of
the New York delegation TO the Chicago
convention.

HOMES FOR POOR MEN.
Easy to Acquire Under the Opera
ton of the "Carey Act"

For the poor man the government
has provided Il plan under which land
can be homesteaded at practically no
cost. For the man who can arrange to
pay a small sum each year in 10 an
nual installments there are great pro-
jects that have been undertaken by the
United States reclamation service But
there is another large class of those
who wish TO own n small section of
ground that they can call their own,
and this class is composed of men who
cannot afford TO drop all of their pres
ent affairs and take up their residence
for five years in Il new country, as
would be necessary if they either ac-
obtain land that is irrigated by the
government For all such there is what
is known as the Carey act" lands.
The Carey act provides for the seq
regation of 100000 acres of arid land
in Il State. This land is to be sold
for rot to exceed 80 cents an acre and
is TO be irrigated by private ebmpa-
MES. In order TO obtain water rights
for this land it is necessary for the
settler to enter into contract with
the company that does the irrigating
and to agree tc pay a certain amount
year in easy installments. This is
from, So to 81 year for each acre, as
a rule. When the entire amount has
been paid the irrigating system passes
into the ownership of these who have
acquired the water rights.
One of the most interesting things
about the Carey act is that under its
provisions only a short residence is
necessary and teacher, professional
man or capitalist can spend a short
vacation on the ground, make the
small payment required and obtain IT,
tie. In Wyoming. where the Big Horn
Basin Development Company has just
thrown open 245.O00 acres for settle
| ment, residence of 80 days is all that
| is required.
