The Good Roads Fund

The good roads movement is
growing and everyone seems
pleased with the results so far.
The road from LacIede to Brook
field along the north side of the
Hannibal & St. Joseph right-Of-
way has for some time been in a
very bad condition, but can now be
cIassed as a good road. Postmaster
Caywood and the editor were out
Saturday to see what was being
done and found that the worst
part of the road, about mile and
a half east of town, had been put
in better condition than it seemed
possible to make it, and since then
the grader has been used and the
road is now better than it has been
in many years.
Many of the farmers along this
line have contributed money or
work, or both. Especial mention
is due for the good work done by
Walter Myers, O. G.. Tooker, Ed
ward Inman and Elmer Berry, and
the following have subscribed to
the good road fund this week:

Parker Beats Bryan

William Jennings Bryan lost his
fight for control of the democratic
national convention at Baltimore
Tuesday, when he was defeated for
temporary chairman of the cOnven-
tion by Alton B. Parker.
Bryan first nominated Senator
Kern of Indiana to oppose Parker.
Kern declined the honor and named
Bryan to make the fight. The
Nebraskan made an eloquent plea
for the cause he had represented
for sixteen years" but it was un-
availing. The debate preceding

TAFT AND SHERMAN NOMINATED
Missouri Republican Leaders Refuse
10 Follow I. r. into New Party

William Howard Taft of Ohio
was renominated for president of
the United States at 9:25 Saturday
night by the republican national
convention on the first ballot. The
vote was Taft SCI, Roosevelt 1O7,
La Toilette Al, Cummins IL,
Hughes 2; absent 6; present and
not voting 344.
A ''valedictory" statement in
behalf Of Theodore Roosevelt was
read by Henry j. Allen Of Kansas.
The former president refused to
allow his name to be presented to
the convention and ordered his
delegates to refuse to vote. Most
of them obeyed the order, but the
Missouri and Idaho Roosevelt dele
gates and most of the Illinois dele
CATION east their votes for the ex-
president.
James S. Sherman of New York
was renominated for vice-president
on the. first ballot. The vote was
Sherman 597, Borah II, Merriam
20, Hadley IA, Beveridge 2, Gill
lette l; absent II; present but not
voting 352.
After the adjournment of the
republican national convention late
Saturday night, majority of the
Roosevelt delegates met in another
hall and organized the progress
i've" party, and nominated Theo-
dore Roosevelt as their candidate
for president. They met again
Sunday afternoon and made ar
rangements to call convention
later, probably in August, when
some one, a democrat preferred,
will be nominated for vice-presi-
dent, and the extreme progress
ives" of all parties will be invited
to join in the movement.
The Missouri delegates declined
to join the new party. Governor
Hadley said: Il am not going to
be a member of any third party,
and there are whole lot of Colonel
Roosevelt's supporters who feel the
same way about it. They will not
follow in any such effort. They
are republicanS.

into wild disorder.

the roll call threw the convention
into wild disorder.
Before the official announcement
of the result of the roll call could
be made, Senator Lea, representing
the Bryan interests, moved that
inasmuch as Judge Parker had re-
ceived $40 votes to SOC for Bryan,
the nomination be made unani-
nous. There were some shouts of
no, but Chairman Mack declared
the motion had been carried.
The Baltimore convention has
the same fight the Chicago conven-
tion had between the radical and
conservative factions, and the con-
servatives seem to control the
Baltimore convention by about the
same majority as at Chicago. The
two thirds rule in force in the
democratic convention may result
in a long drawn battle for the nom
nation, although Champ Clark
may have a majority of the votes
on the first or second ballot.
Mr.. Bryan is using the same tao
tics adopted by Roosevelt at
Chicago, and the result may be
similar split in the democratic
party, with Bryan leading the
boiling faction.
