FIGHT MOST BITTER
IN HISTORY or STATE

Winona. Mimi, Sent 21.--The fight
which led up to the primaries today
was the most bitter in which Con-
gresham Tawney has figured In his
eighteen vears as representative from
the First district. Anderson. p young
lawyer. residing at Lanesboro, came
into the opposition to Tawney late,
but Immediately begun his whirlwind
campaign. 1t was fought entirely
along insurgent lines
He Fought TaWney as a Cannon
man Of the Minnesota delegation who
voted for the tariff bill and an enemy
OF Roosevelt
The address of the ex-presdent at
the St Paul conservation congress in
which he struck directly at Tawney
served as another bomb for Anderson
who used il IN all his utterances.
on Labor Day at Rochester Gif-
ford Pinchot delivered an address un-
solicited, ii was claimed. In which he
attacked the record OF Tawney The
latters reply to this attack in which
lie charged Pinchot with improper
use Of public money and with defeat
ing the free lumber tariff bin, proved
Mr.. TawneN's only speech of the pri-
man les. incidentally in that address,
Tawney defended his public career
and the keynote was that he believed
in government by law which made
impossible the Roosevelt commits
sions, the extension OF the secret SER
vice and the further expenditure of
money by Pinchot.
Francis j. Heney, the California
graft prosecutor, and prominent Wis
consin insurgents successful at the
primaries in that state. also took the
stump against Tawney.

Colorado Springs Colo, Sept 20.
The republican state convention OF
Colorado convened here today, found
it's committee on resolutions hopeless
ly split over state issues and adjourned
until tomorrow morning because the
selection of candidate for governor
hinges upon the sort of platform
which will be adopted. Tho conven-
tion found time to disallow the claim
for seats made by tS4 progressive del
egates from Denver county who had
failed to attend the regular party
caucus. and had named their own del
egation at a meeting in n church.
The resolutions committee, which
continued its sessions after the con.
Vention adjourned evinced a desire to
mould the planks of the platform re-
lating to the national administration
so as to stamp President Taft as a
believer in the Roosevelt policies and
as having conducted his admnistra-
ton of national affairs along the lines
of Roosevelt progressiveness.
Proposed endorsement OF the in
itiative and referendum caused all the
strife I'm the resolutions committee,
alton by NJ ID. Vincent, who has been
running an Independent campaign for
the gubernatoral nomination and IL
credited with the endorsement of Col
onel Roosevelt, that the rejection of
this plank meant certain defeat for
the party this fall, the plank was re-
jected by the majority.
An amendment offered by Thomas
II. Devine of Pueblo, favoring men
ton Of the measure as one demanded
by the people, also was rejected. A
minority report from the committee,
and n fight on the convention floor,
over this plank, ls considered as
sured.
Rush T. Holland ~ Colorado
Springs attorney regarded ag a strong
candidate for the nomination for tho
governorship, announced today that
he would insist upon a progressive
platform II nominated. but would not
tolerate "radicalism." This was in
terpreted by his friends MS meaning
that he would not make the race II
the initiative and referendum were en-
dorsed. State Senator John r. Steph-
ems of Colorado City, perhaps Hol-
lands strongest opponent, is not like
ly to run unless the measure Is en-
dorsed, partly because the element
which would prevent such endorse
ment also would prevent stephens
nomination.
