POPULAR VOTE
FOR ROOSEVELT
Reasons Why The Colonel Should
Be NOMINATING

Washington. May 1.-THE fol
lowing is an editorial from The
New York Globe commenting upor
the vote in the states which have
held presidential preference pri'
maries.
Ten states have held presiden.
tial primaries, and on the Republi.
can side the line up between the
conservative and progressive fac.
tons, as represented on the one
hand by the candidacy of President
Taft and on the other by the candi-
dacies of Col. Theodore Roose-
velG and Senator La Toilette, has
been as follows:
Popular vote of North Dakota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsylvania,
New Hampshire. Massachusetts,
Oregon. Nebraska, Maryland, Cali,
fornia, 10 states as follows:
For do, IUO
For Roosevelt LaFollette. LOTT, 500
IL is clear that the Republican
party wishes to declare itself a pro-
gressive party.
The backbone Of Mr. Taft strength,
as claimed by his supporters, in
the Chicago convention is composed
of these delegations:
Alaska, District of Columbia,
Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto
Rico, Alabama, Arkansas. Florida,
Georgia. Louisiana. Mississippi,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia.
totaling 1913. .,.
There is not a possible electoral
vote for the Republican party in
that list. Nearly the entire list is
also contested.
Now look to the other side. The
backbone of Mr. Roosevelt's Streng,
tn is in the following Republican
| states, which are sure to give their
electoral vote to the republicans.
California, Illinois, Indiana. Kan,
sas, Maine, Maryland, Massachu,
sets, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-,
souri, Nebraska. Nortn Carolina,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington
totallng 346.
There is nothing to be added
Taft has practically nothing behind
him that will go Republican; Roose'
welt has practically everything be-
hind him that can go Republican

For State Treasurer
political Advertising)

1t is a bad policy to perpetuate q
state treasurer in Office by electing
his deputy to succeed him. Taylor
who defaulted attempted this but
since that no other treasurer has
had the nerve until Tire present
moment. Now the deputy state
treasurer is a candidate for the pur-
pose Of perpetuating Treasurer
Johnson's control or for the pur-
pose of promoting the interest OF a
line of pet banks. But the people.
regardless Of faction, disposed to
reward Senator Ewert for his good
work in passing the state depository
law which has already brought to
treasury $4,000 in interest on the
state funds. 1t is a good policy to
reward a faithful and intelligent
public servant. Mr. Ewert proved
himself to be one. High more

Hand County Fair to be given
in the opera house MAY 80 and 81.
The Militia have decided bya I'M
animous vote to take up a home
talent play, The Hand County Fair
This play was written by Annie Sara
Book. a West Virginian who has
made the drilling and producing of
home talent plays a speciality. This
home talent play Hand County
Fair has been her biggest and most
successful. Wherever 1t has been
given it has been an immense sue
cess, as it will be in Miller. The
plan and plot Of this play is very
simple-nothing but a County Fair
scene with all manner of people
coming to the fair.
But after all. no amateur enter
tainment at this day and age can be
a success with out plenty Of good
live up-to- late music, and we Will
have it in the County Fair. Some
of the big musical features are "The
Lullaby, THE Moon. THE Hay
Seed" chourses, by the children.
There will be other children's chorus
and six Young men and Young ladies'
choruses. All of these r the lat
est, catchiest songs productions and
are presented in q beautiful, attrac.
tive manner.
The committees have been ap-
pointed for the various departments
of the preliminary work. The best
talent Of the city will be invited and
there can be no doubt Of the fair
being q rousing success. Miss AIMS
l.. Paul is instructor.
