Saratoga, Sept. 27.-TheOdOfe ROOse-
yelt rode today on the top wave Of vic
tory, defeating Vice President Sherman
for temporary chairman of the republic
can state convention and bowling over
the old guard in the first enlightenment
of a series of conflicts that are to come
Roosevelt was in his element. After
he had named the members of the three
important committees and the conven-
tion had adjourned to meet tomorrow,
the colonel turned to the newspaper
men and remarked, ''You will recall
that I said 'frazzle.' You may quote
me on that.
At Troy yesterday the former presi-
dent said he would beat his opponents
to a ''frazzle
There were 1,011 votes cast in the
convention today. of which Roosevelt
received 568 and Vice President Sher-
man received 443.
In his speech as temporary chairman,
Colonel Roosevelt spoke feelingly of
what President Taft had accomplished
in his administration. saying that the
laws passed reflect high credit upon all
who succeed in putting them in their
present shape.
The spectators and many of the dele
gates warmly applauded the declaration
of Roosevelt for direct primary p liant.
Roosevelt bitterly assailed the bosses, :"
declaring that the difference betw cen a
boss and leader is that the leader
leads and the boss drives.
Thunders Of applause greeted the
colonel as he was escorted to the speak
ers stand by Sherman and Cornelius v.
Collins, and it was some time before he
could proceed with his speech. Thank
ing the delegates for the honor they
had conferred on him, the colonel
caused the greatest enthusiasm when
he said. "You shall not have cause now
or hereafter to regret what you have
done.''
It was day of bitter and acrimonious
speech. With the opening of the con-
ventlon, State Chairman. Woodruff de-
fined the position of the ''old guard
and announced that Vice-president
Sherman had been selected for tenn
porary chairman by the state committee,
and then the real fight was on.
Col. Abraham Gruber.. of New York
city had been--selected to fire the ver-
bal hot shot for the old guard and his
speech attacking the former president
was often broken and drowned by his
ses and jeers. The convention had been
well prepared. for the outcome of the
contest for temporary chairman, Will
liam Barnes. Jr.. leader of the ''old
guard" forces. :.havins early in the day

The past week the Northern Pacific
Ry. Co. conveyed the information to
people in Dickinson that third dele

the direction of the agricultural college

his selection by early mail. Mr.. Gregg
informed Supt. l. r. Waldron and A.
D. Heaton. the other delegates from
this place. that he would come to Dick
inson on Thursday evening to join them
on the Spokane trip.
Mr.. Gregg is one of the pioneer farm
ers of Stark county and his selection
on the deleaation seems very fitting.
The special Northern Pacific train for
Spokane was scheduled to arrive in
Dickinson at 1-:30 p. m. on Friday. The
trip. as stated last week, will cover a
period of eight to ten days. There is a
representative del legation from the state
agricultural college and very likely re-
presentatives are included from the
older experimental stations of North
Dakota.
Comparatively lew people realize the
importance of the Dry Farming Con-
eress. but il will not be long until the
country will understand more fully the
great benefit to be derived from these
annual meetings in the Northwest.

tional airs, and 200 children Of the graded
schools Of Spokane. arranged upon the
platform in the form Of living United

vast assemblage rising and joining.
President Taft has written his regrets
at his inability to attend this great
congress, but he has already manifested
his interest in the meeting through Sc
curing the cooperation Of the depart
nlent of agriculture in making a govern
ment exhibit Of dry land products at
the big exposition and in the detailing
of several of the leading scientists Of
the bureau of plant industry to attend

Foot Ball Rules
Committee Meets
It Attacks Problem of Rendering
Game Safer Without Depriving
it of Its Virility.

NEW YORK, March 25.-How to make
foot ball safe without rendering 1t too com
pick or deprivinR it of it's virility was
tho problem attacked today by the inter
collegiate foot ball rules committee.
Secretary E. X. Hill of Boston declared
today that he thought by tomorrow night
most Of the actual work of rule changing
with view to saving the game from the
ban Of college authorities and at the Same
time retaining it's best features could be
accomplished. The major part of the task,
II was thought, could be completed today.
Possibly a mail vote on some minor points
will have to be taken after little further
experimenting this spring.
Coach Stagg Of Chicago was given per-
haps the most attentive hearing at today's
session. Stagg has been making practical
experiments with a couple of carefully Sc
lected elevens in the south with view to
learning how some of the more logical
suggestions for rule changes made at the
early winter meeting would work out in tho
field.
Many of the experts believe that Stages
experiments and the study of old authorl-
ties on the game will result in the retention
OF both the forward pass and the on-side
kick, surrounded by regulations providing

halves it was also thought, would likely
be divided into periods giving a better
chance for tho examination of men who
were apparently weakening and tending to
prevent dangerous collapses.
One Of the longest discussions was ex-
pected over the central zone, to which con-
siderable opposition has developed, due to
the momentum 1t allows the opposing
forces to gather for the clash Of contact
There seemed to be little doubt that the
diving tackle would be abolished.

Are Recovered.

WATERFOWL. s. D., March 25.-(spe-
cial.) .)-After having rested nearly five
months in the slime and mud on the bot
tom Of Clear lake, a large slough eighteen
miles south of this city, the bodies Of Will

8, last, have been found. John Jeremy, a
professional body raiser from saltwater
Mimi, made the discovery.
The bodies have been under the ice all
winter, the accident having happened just
before the slough froze over. At the time
the boys were drowned citizens of this
city spent several days in searching, but
were unable to find trace aside from one
hat and the overturned boat.
The bodies are in a much better condition
than was expected. Aside from being badly
bloated and the faces discolored, the water
has affected them but little.
Both boys are members Of prominent
families in the city. William Johnson is
the son of rich mine owner in California
and made his home here because he was
fond Of hunting. Jerry Kelley, at the time
Of his death was the private secretary of
