Board Adopts Resolutions

At the regular annual meeting
of the Board of Trustees of tn.
Wyoming University, held in Lar,
annie on the 9Th inst, the follow.
ing resolutions we're adopted by
unanimous vote:
Be it Resolved: That in accept.
ing the resignation of DR.. Merics
as president of the University
this Board desires not only to ex-
press its keen regret at losing his
services, but also its sincere ap-
probation of the great work he
has accomplished during the four
years and three months of his adj
ministration.
The Board feels that DR.. Merica
assumed charge of the University
at the most critical period in it's
history and by his courage, untir-
ing energy and devotion coupled
with much common sense, has put
it on its feet and started it far on
the way to serve the purpose for
which it was founded.
The Board futher feels that at
present the University occupies a
stronger and more friendly posi-
ton among the people of the State
than it ever has before, and that
the credit for this belongs in large
part to DR.. Merica.
In it's internal administration
the Board is profoundly impress
sed with the changes wrought by
DR.. Merica. The institution is
now 30 organized as to command
the respect and admiration of edu-
Gators everywhere; but what is
more, it's organization az at pre-.
sent constituted seems to fit it to
meet and serve the needs of all
the people Of Wyoming in the
most efficient manner.
Mention might be made of num-
bers of other things that DR.. Mer-
lea has accomplished, but the
Board feels that in placing the
University in the right relation
before the people of the State and
in recognizing it for efficient SER
vice he had done his greatest work
and for this he will ever be held
in grateful remembrance.
The Board wishes DR.. Merica
the greatest success in the work
that now lies before.

for his final speech. The crowds were large and enthusiastic in Cam den, where he spoke tonight and re-
 piled to a statement which Taft is reported to have made.
 MT Taft says that if my proposal
 for referendum of judicial decisions,
 were adopted, said the colonel,
 there would be nothing to prevent
 the legislature from repeating the thirteenth. fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution and diSfranchise the negroes" He char acterized these statements as sheer nonsense" In other speeches Roose- welt mixed politics with various other things, some of which bore no rela tion to the issues of the campaign. He was in a rOllicking mood and ! laughed and chaffed with his audi ences. He will continue the tour of the state tomorrow.

May 24.-'I have enough delegates to renominate me at the Chicago convention" That was TlC- declaration today to a score or more of republicans who met him at a luncheon given at his home by state Senator Fvlugnuyscn of New Jersey, at Som.r<uIc The presidents second campaigning day through New Jersey v.as one yr the hardest he ever put in For more than five hours he motoret .arrr Juslz roads, talked to thousands .ol p,rSous who commute in and out or New York each day and kept up his attacks cu Roosevelt
 "I1 is a very unWise and dangerous thing to depart from the wise tradition that limits the president to two terms, said tn. president in q typical speech at PIamficld late today. Tt is especially wuNisc with d man of MT. Roosevelt type With his capacity for appealing 10 the people and his ability to arouse clements that are disturbing com muity. preaching the doctrine of dla- content. with his powerful personal itv and with his uns0und constitutional views aai with his impatience of legal restraint. it will be a calamity to put him in the White House again. He has the power of ccntering on himself the thousht that he is equal to any thing It developed Saturday in Cl"Ve- land in inc statement that he proposes to be nominated at Chicago and does moi propose to have anybody take the
 I tbtE did. and II they prevented his nomin- ation. though he left the convention those remaining would be the bolt CTS"
 And whyo Because he said l am the republican party or@anlZ1tIoh only. My friends l do not cite that by way of ridicule l only cite it to show the character of the man and to what he has developed in recent wears. how little restraint he has upon his expression and upon his purpose. and l say to you in all hon ,sty and conviction that were he al- lowed to hold third term in viola ton of that wise tradition. IntoX- fcatrd as he would be with the sense Of power. coming from the conferring upon him of the office and honor that has been denied to all the most Hustrious presidents of the country. it would not be safe to have him there and under these conditions. Those who love the republic must see to ir that no such risk adhercs to it." Tomorrow Taft goes from ter ecv City to EngleWood.
