REPS. NAME STIMSON
RoosEvELT's SELECTION MADE
CHOICE OF CONSTITUENTS.
Dominates Convention With Aggres-
sive Speech, in Which He Die
tates Policy.

Saratoga, N. Y.-The Republican
state convention Wednesday evening
made Henry l.. Stimson of New YorI
its candidates for governor. The nom
NATION of Mr.. Stimson was one more
victory for Col. Theodore Roosevelt
who personally led the fight for the
nomination of his candidate.
The slate as made up by Col. Roose
welt, Senator Root and their advisers
went through without a hitch. With
the exception OF the nominations fol
governor and comptroller, there were
no coTtests. 1t is understood that Col
Roosevelt will stump the state fol-
the ticket.
The close of the convention found
the Roosevelt forces in complete mas
terry Of the situation. It was the cleo.
ton of Col. Roosevelt as temporary
chairman over Vice-President Sher.
man which decided the issue between
the colonel and The organization, but
the old guard kept up its fight grimly
until the end.
Following the first rout Of the or
g~anization caem Col. Roosevelt's dra-
matte and successful battle for the
adoption of the platform of the pro-
gressives and his final victory in the
nomination of Mr.. Stimson.

THE ADMINISTRATION
La Toilette Leads Bitter Wisconsin
Party Censure.

Madison, Wis. = Wisconsin was
termed a pilot for the nation and a
compass for the other states by Unit
ed States Senator Robert M. La Fall
lette, in his address to the Republican
state convention here Wednesday.
"A great campaign is on" he said,
mot for our state alone, but for all
the states Of the country. You are
going into the campaign now which
means not only everything for Wis
consin, but means everything for this
great movement"
What probably is the most radical
platform adopted in a generation by
a Republican convention was promul-
gated by Wisconsin Republicans. The
document is about 1000 words in
length, and touches with no uncertain
hand on a great variety of subjects.
It is generally designated as a rad
ically progressive pronunciamento.
No mention of the national admins
tration was made, save to disparage.

DEMOCRATS PUT UP DIX
CHAIRMAN OF STATE COMMIT
TEE NAMED FOR GOVERNOR.
New Nationalism Of Roosevelt Scored
and Strong Direct Primary Plank
Inserted In Platform.

Rochester. N. Y.-The Democratic
state convention nominated John A.
Dix Of Washington county.
The platform, as adopted, leads old
nationalism forward:
THE Democratic party Of New York
in convention assembled, pledges it.
self anew to the old nationalism en-
bodied in the constitution of the
United States and to the support in
every way of the Independent and con-
tinued existence OF each of the three
separate and distinct branches of the
federal government; preserving all
from attack and u%surpatiOn and each
from any possibility of e-ncroachment
by the others, and in particular we
condemn all attacks upon the supreme
court Of the United States.
I'VE again declare that powers not
specifically granted to the federal gov
eminent belong to and of right must
be exercised by the states in their
sovereign capacity, and we reassert
that the most efficient results in gov
eminent are attained by the complete
exercise by the states of these re-
served sovereign powers. We are un-
alterably opposed to any usurpation
by federal government of the rights of
the states.
I'VE declare in favor Of statewide
direct primaries to insure to the peo-
pie the right to choose members of
political committees and nominate
candidates for public office"

ARMY POST FOR COLUMBUS.
Mississippi city's Claim Being
Pressed for Selection.

TICSoC0 " SotSSttCus
Observation-Disclosures from relia-
BILE sources brings the news thar Co
lumbus is being favorably considered
by the United States war department
as the most advantageous city in the
South. The subject is not a new one
for Columbus, for work has he:c dill
gently carried on for the pas. two
years to get the post here. Since the
1908 encampment was held in Column
bus some prominent members of the
National Guard of Mississippi have
been working for the post. Col. John
P. Mayo, paymaster-general of the
Mississippi National Guard, has col.
lected many letters an Endorsements
from senators, representatives and
others, whose recommendations will
have great weight. He has been at
work on this mony months, and he
now states he believes Columbus will
be successful.
Hon. John M. Dickinson, secretary
Of the war department, will give Co
lumbus every possible chance of de-
cision. He has been a frequent visitor
te this city since his boyhood days.
He was born and reared in Columbus.
He is a member of the local camp

Gov. Noel Seldom Turns Deaf Ear to
SuppIicants.
Jackson.-Gov. Noel continues to be
harassed and besieged by applications
and applicants for pardon, either for
convicts in the ~penitentiary OF con-
victs serving out sentences in jails or
on the county farms, his visitors In
some instances coming from the re-
hottest parts of the state. Where the
parties interested do not visit him in
person they food his desk with nu-
merously signed petitions for pardon,
and each of these cases requires al
most as much study and investigation
as though the chief executive were
preparing a brief to be presented to
a court. BY way of irony, the situa-
ton just at present is also somewhat
peculiar, for the governor is now up
to his ears in the details incident to
the selection Of a superintendent of
the penitentiary and the choice of one
man from among a or more OF
willing ones. But no matter how
closely pressed for time nor how much
other matters may be pressing upon
him, the governor sees everybody and
to all he gives the courtesy of a hear
ing, permitting, as a rule, his callers
to terminate the interview, and in
consequence he is generally about the
last nan to leave the capitol in the
evening.

GORDON AT GREENvILLE.
Venerable Statesman Agrees Witt
Hobson of Alabama.

Greenville.-Ex-Senator James Cor
don delivered an interesting address
at the Grand Theater to a splendid
audience.
Gen. Gordon was introduced by Con-
gresham Ben G. Humphreys in a few
but most complimentary words, which
was the first talk made by Mr.. Hum
phreys since mis- recent dangerous i'll
ness.
Senator Gordon's speech was devot-
ed to personal "reminiscences of the
war between the North and South, es-
pecially discussing his fight into Can
ada when charged with completely in
the murder of Abraham Lincoln, of
which, of course, he was entirely in
nocent.
The senator then discussed the
greed for power and territory of the
nations of the world, and boldly de-
clared that he agreed with Congress
man Hobson ON the question of a
greater navy for the United States, a
navy that could whip all other ma
tions of the world, if necessary.

age district.
There are between fifteen and six.
teen thousand acres OF wet swampy
lands which it is hoped to reclaim by
the means of drainage into the Ten.
nessee river. There are tributaries to
be taken in later which will swell the
total acreage to thirty thousand acres.
R. Reynolds, in the Yellow Greek
country, has given special attention to
one acre Of land similar in every re.
spect to the land similar to be drained.
This being wholly an experiment:
Mr.. Reynolds took advantage OF the
most advanced ideas in intensified
farming.
The result under unfavorable condi
lions is a yield of one hundred and
twenty-five bushels OF corn on the one
acre Of land. Mr.. Reynolds states that
under ideal weather conditions the
yield would have approached two hun,
dred bushels per acre.

paired for Illinois Central.

Chicago. - Henry G.. Ostermann,
former president of the Ostermann
Manufacturing Company, who is said
to have been a big factor in the ILL
nois Central car repair frauds, related
a sensational story of the inside work
ings of his concern before Municipal
Judge Bruggemeyer.
Ostermann declared that as vice.
president of the Illinois Central Rawn
was given 1900 shares of stock in
the Ostermann Manufacturing Com
pany, and that this was increased to

Points to Good Future.

Seven poor children, four girls and
three boys, all about ten years old,
went to a nearby seashore resort, in
charge of two women, for a days out
ing. The funds for the picnic were
provided by two boys who sell papers
and who live in one of the two houses
from which the excursion party was
recruited. One of the women in
charge of the children said that the
boys had arranged the outing "of their
own accord, and the remarkable thing
is this: They are not good boys by
any means and one of them is prob
ably the naughtiest boy in the neigh
borhood. But we think that when boys
do little things like this they will come
out all right."-New York Tribune.

PENSIONS INCREASE.
Few Counties Submitting Rolls Show
Larger Appropriation.

Few Counties Submitting Rolls Show
Larger Appropriation.
Jackson.-While less than a half oil
the counties of the state have sub
mitted their pension rolls to the aud.
itor, 50 far as they have gone the in
dications are for a good, steady in
crease, not only in the amount oil
money to be distributed, but in the to
tai number of pensioners. 1t is a faci
that while numbers of the old Confed'
crate veterans who have received
these pensions yearly, from the date
Of the Inauguration of the system
have passed to that bourne where
earthly service pensions are an un
known quantity, through recent benef
icent and generous legislation the
ranks are increased. This is due
to two principal contributing causes
one of which was the act raising the
property limit of a pensioner from
$500 to 5000, and the other advancing
the period at which a widow should
have been married, in order to entitle
her to pension in recognition of hel
husbands service to the Confederacy
from prior to 1875 to ten years later
or 1885. This action vas taken at the
session of 1910, and resulted in an in
crease in numbers at a ratio of about
twenty per cent. Another factor en
tering into the raising of the pension
allowance is the increased appropria
ton per annum from $780, 900 to $500,
600, which will admit of a higher pre-
rata share for those pensioners of the
third class.
