For President in 1912,
Shall the people or the money

Mr.. and Mrs. Sander B%rynjulson
Surprised.

Knute Ulrikson told Sander Brynjul-
son last Saturday that he was coming
over to inspect his new house as he
contemplated building. Knute accom-
pained by his wife was there on time
and they managed to keep Sander
and Mrs. Brynjulson at home until 3
O'Clock when Knute's mission was
finished, for a great crowd, about 100
ladies' and gentlemen, arrived and re-
lieved the would be house builder OF
any further responsibility.
The ladies and gentlemen who sur
prised Sander and wife represent the
north district of the ladies' aid OF
Lands Church, and the surprisers
wanted to show their good will and
appreciation for aid rendered by San
der 1t auctions when the ladies we're
engaged In church work.
The first man to arrive was Rev.
Nummedal and Sander was not ex-
pscting him but said nothing while
Knute was busy figuring on a new
house. Then the crowd came and
Sander surrendered, but he seemed
inclined to think that Knute's new
house business vas q nicely arranged
scheme to keep him from enjoying an
auto ride.
It was q merry crowd, full Of fun
and loaded with good thugs to eat
and Joy was uncon1ned. Rev. Num-
medal presented Sander with q beau
tiful and costly rocking chair and
Mrs. Brynjulson with a handsome
rug.
It va I we'll arranged surprise, and
when Brother Ulrikson gets after a
Victim he never lets up until the sur
prisers relieve him.
Sander and Mrs. Brynjulson fully
appreciate the love and esteem Of
their friends and especially the kind
words Of Bro. Nummedal after Sander
had sold him . ten cent cotton hand
kerchiof for Sl.69 at q ladies church
auction sale.
Before the party returned to their
homes Mr.. Ulrikson wanted to renew
the house building discussion but
Sander looked 1t him with grave sus-
picion and told him to come some
oshsr day . he wanted to enjoy his
beautiful rocker, and Knute conclud-
"a b wouldn't build before next
spring and there ri M hurry.

candidates for president and vice
president by the Republican national
committee which met here. The call
was issued for the assembling OF dele

formally withdrew from the contest
before the voting began, leaving Den.
yer and Chicago to fight it out. The
vote resulted: Chicago, AZ; Denver, Z:
st. Louis, /; absent, 3.
The committee formally accepted
the resignation Of Frank H. Hitch
cock as chairman. A rising vote OF
thanks was rendered Mr.. Hitchcock
for his services. Former Gov. John
F. Hill of Maine then was elected
chairman.
The Taft forces, directed by Charles
D. Hilles, secretary to the president,
won the first serious fight attending
the committee meeting. The admin
istration's friends had insisted that

named as chairman of the subcom-

people also had insisted that In a ID
dition to Colonel New they should
name a majority of the committee.
A sharp fight developed with Post
master General Hitchcock and other
friends Of Chairman Hill of the com
mtttee insisting that Mr.. Hill should
be given the authority to constitute
the committee as he saw fit. At the
end of a long series of conferences

instead of the usual five.
The subcommittee having in charge
the call for delegates developed a seri.
GUS split, Senator Borah leading a
hopeless fight to open the primary
door to every state in the Union and
framing a minority report. The sub
committee decided to follow the form
Of call adopted foul years ago.. This
call recognizes the rights Of states to
choose delegates at primaries where
primary laws have been passed and
where the state committee so directs.
In all other states it provides for the
selection Of delegates at state conven-
tons.
