PEACE CONFERENCE
OF REPUBLICANS
FALLS IN EFFORT
NOTHING Is GIVEN OUT AND IT
IS THOUGHT NO AGREE
MENT.
GOVERNOR HOOPER is PRESENT
Executive Issues Statement Which Is
Only information of the Meeting
That Has Reached the Public--says
Meeting Was Preliminary.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 11.-Despite the
fact that all fourteen of the partici-
pants in the republican peace pow
WOW held Tuesday at the Hotel Her
mitage are pledged to secrecy, ii is
strongly rumored in political circles
that the effort to harmonic the two
warning factions of the party in this
state failed. According to rumor the
conference was comosed of two for
midable halves, with neither side in
the majority. 1t could not be learn
whether or not any actual voting was
done, but it is known that the situa-
ton in Tennessee Nas thoroughly
canyassed.
The object of the meeting was to
perfect some plan Whereby the Ten
nessee delegation to the national re-
publican convention might so solid.
This, of course involved the para
mount issue of the division of future
spoils, in the event that the republi-
cans are successful in the next presi-
Dental campaign, which gives room
for speculation as to the basis on
which the working arrangement was
to be based Whether or not one fac
ton was to take chance at getting
the state Offices, with the other fac
ton making a run for the federal pc.
sitions, is merely guess work. But
that a tentative harmony plan was
considered is certain.
The recent visit of Governor Hoop
er and Treasurer Tom Taylor to
Washington, where they were called
by President Taft, is deeply signifi-
cant politically, That their return
here SHOULD have been so soon fol
lowed by the conference of elements
that had previously been inharmoni-
Gus is more significant still.

but one unlimited out-of-town repre-
sentative of the Sanders-Evans fac
ton, this lone delegate being DR.. r.
Q. Lillard, of Lebanon. From this
fact it is inferred that the overtrres
came from the Brownlow following,
as Jesse Littleton, John c. Houk and
Harry Anderson had arrived here
simultaneously from different parts of
the state. Surgeon General Mccall,
of the Sanders-Evans faction, was
here, but this is said to have been
accidental, as he stopped over en-
route from Washington, where he had
been on business connected with the
state militia, with which he is Official
ly Connected.

event the factions settle their differ

very popular with bota factions, and
though an appointee OF Gov. Hoppe,
is acceptable. Harry Anderson, the
Memphis attorney who is thought to
have steered the conference, has de-
elared that Mr. Beasley is the most
popular republican in che state.
Those present at the conference

DR.. James H. Mccall, Huntingdon, and
Mr.. Lowell.
Regarding what transpired at the
conference, Governor Hooper, We'd
nesday evening said:
There was conference of several
republicans, representing various ell
ements of the party. Those present
were not delegated by anybody but
themselves. The conference was the
result of only a few hours notice, was
not numerously attended and was in
formal in it's proceedings. 7 was
present, not exactly as member of
the conference, but as an innocent by
stander. He is the fellow who usual
ly gets shot over in Kentucky, you
know.
mo agreement was reached and no
effort was made to reach one. The
conference merely broke the ice for
further negotiations hereafter
THE main subject discussed was
the desirability of avoiding disooro
and dissension in the republican con-
ventions of this year. Our folks have
had some historic rows over the Sc
lection of delegates to national con-
ventions. They are DESTROYS of avoid
ing a repetition of such things.
Il do not feel at liberty to give the
press any part of what was said by
those present"

Mate Made From Straw MATING

In days gone by nearly every one
used straw mating on their sleeping
room floors, but this IN the age OF
bare floors and mats. l have made
some nice mats from some mating
that had once used on q floor. Sc
lected the best parts and cut them In
lengths varying from one yard and
three-quartc-s TO two yards. ravelled
the ends about four inches and tied
them in a double knot; that keeps
them from fraying any more and
makes q kind of fringe which / think
is much nicer than hemmed ends, I
wash mine with salt and water, which
freshens them up wonderfully. These
mats are especially suitable for sleep
ing rooms or for strip for hall,
They are very easy to handle they are,
30 light. and they are easy to sweep.
They look we'll on q hardwood floor.
The parts Of my carpet that showed
signs Of wear I converted into pissss
mats, so nothing was wasted. Mat
ting makes excellent doormats for the
outside doorstep or outside entrance
and you will be surprised how much
less sand gets tracked in.

RUSSIAN TO FLY AT HURON.

Paul Studensky, the crack Russian
aviator who has made many new rec
ords in mail carrying, is expected to
pilot one OF the biplanes at the South
Dakota State Fair. studensky was
born of well-to-do Russian parents
and educated in the Imperial Rus
sian University at st. Petersburg.
A youthful love affair with girl OF
high rank brought forth the dis
pleasure of the Gar, so he found 1t
almost necessary to leave his couu-
try. In order to recoup his exhaust
ed resources he took to flying on the
continent. His excellent record In
the Bleriot School at Etampes
brought him many high honors, and
he soon found himself in demand in
America. He is now in this country.
one OF the best educated men In avia-
tion. His work with the Beech-Na-
tional biplane is marvellous. No one
in South Dakota can afford to miss
the sight of seeing him and the othor
two aviators demonstrate their skill
at Huron this fall.

Too great great credit cannot be
given to South Dakota women for
their part in making the State Fair
a remarkable success. OF the thous-
ands of entries in the fair last year,
fully one-third were in the ladies'
department. 1t is to the credit of
the State Fair Board that they have
given the ladies such an opportunity,
and to the credit of the ladies that
they have so ably taken advantage
thereof. The women have ali eie-
