BEN WHITEHEAD
SAYS NEGR0
Is ON TRIAL

Chicago, June 17.---Will the southern
negro delegates elected with Taft in
structions stand pat. as the Taft men
claim, or will they desert in platoons,
as the Roosevelt leaders predict? Ben
G. whitehead, the Bismarck editor,
who is here observing the convention
as an Interested democrat, is inclined
to believe that the colored delegates
will not change. His opinion comes
from close knowledge, since he has
made a close study of the negro in
politics, touring the entire south some
years ago on that special mission for
southern newspapers and writing a
series of articles.
"The negro, as a factor In American
politics is on trial. said Mr.. White
head tonight" His entire future.
believe, will be made or lost by this
convention. 1t will all depend upon
how he follows his instructions. II
he goes through he will be trusted in
the years to come. 1t docs not make
any difference about the success or the
failure OF the cause he represents in the
convention. 1t does not make an diff
ference who wins or loses. There can
be no long complain about a man who
follows out the instructions Of those
who choose him. The man who goes
through is always trusted, and his
fidelity will cover multitude of sins.
But If the negro "oes back on his In
structions he viii cease forever to be a
force in American politics, and the one
who would prof. by his change of
front would be afraid 2 trust him IN
wears to come, and the lily whites
would have the entire say-so.
sTn the Harrison Blaine convention
| in Minneapolis in 1892, the negro stood
pat. At that time they voted against
cne Of the greatest men that America
ever produced, James G. Blaine. They
were loyal to the administration to the
cnd. The campaign that followed was

The better farming movement. in
augurated by Minneapolis and North
Dakota business men as a business
proposition, under the direction of
Thomas Cooper, has now been under
way for several months. The follow
ing resume of the work to date win
be of general interest:
Results in North Dakota.
Results in North Dakota TO date can
only be discussed from the standpoint
of the work of the Better Farming as
sociation to the present time, and must
be matter of record of progress and
history of the movement In the state.
The field work of the association has
but just begun. Results are in the
making. An organization dealing with
a fundamental, unorganized industry,
and subject to the caprices of nature
and dependent upon the weather, can
scarcely begin to show definite, tangi-
BILE and easily recognized results in
less than two or three years. In this,
the farming industry differs from the
factory or the business house, 1t is
essentially long time proposition, and
the problem to be solved differs with
each farm.
The Better Farming association is a
corporation organized first; for the
dissemination of information among,
dtiu the BubChttOH Or TIC tdfAHEtE St
the state of North Dakota upon the
subject Of modern scientific agricul-
tural methods, second; for the pro-
motion OF better and more profitable
cultivation OF the soil, which includes
the rotation and diversifcation OF crops,
raising Of livestock and poultry, manu-
facture Of dairy products, and other
like subjects pertaining to the devel-
opment OF scientific agriculture. The
Better Farming association was organ
ized chiefly through the efforts OF A.
r. Rogers and p. L. Howe OF Mime
apolis. These men succeeded in en-
listing the cooperation and support Of
the banks, railroads and various busi-
ness interests of the city, and Of the
North Dakota Bankers association.
This association, it's executive council
and members, has given active support
TO this organization, and upon 1t has
been placed the burden of financing the
work within the state, Thus the Bet
ter Farming association was conceiv-
ed, formed and supported by business
men as a business organization to
assist In building up fundamental In
dustry OF a great agricultural state.

Washington, ID. c., June 17.--Ad-
miral Jusher from Guantanamo, today
cabled the navy department a con-
firmation OF the report that General
La. Coste, the paralytic rebel general
had been captured by the government
forces. The officials believe this blow
will practically terminate the reyolu-
ton.
Although the time limit allowed by
the Cuban rebel leader Julio Antoman-
chi for all foreigners to abandon their
homes in the neighborhood of Ell Cobre
expired last night the state depart
ment early today had no report Of any
attack. 1t is reported all the territory
has been depopulated because OF the
proclamation and there is little oppor-
tunity for the negro leader to execute
the threat. the Cuban general in com
mand at Ciente having a large force
in the district and nearly 200 American
marines being near Ell Cobre.

day. He has learned his own
power. and he knows that when
he and his friends get busy, the poli-
ticians can be made to look as cheap
as 2 cents worth OF dirt.
This is reasonably sure: The voters
have taken it into their heads to have
their own way about the presidential
nomination hereafter, and four years
hence the preference primaries will
be used in SO many states that the
convention will have nothing to do but
ratify.
why shouldn't the voters choose the
nominee? Who has a better right?
who makes up the party but the
voters?
In March 1T was regarded as prac-
ticaIIy certain that Taft would be
nominated. Following the New Jer-
sew primaries, even his friends felt
that In view OF the popular verdict
ii would be a losing fight. Now the
staunch course OF the national COM

an advantage.

Chicago, June 17.-One OF the most
hopeful men in Chicago is Charles w.
Fairbanks of Indiana, former vice
president of the United states The
hoosier politician wants TO be presi-
dent. He is satisfied the situation here
possesses some of the elements which
hold out promise to one who knows
how TO wait. He believes that neither
Taft nor Roosevelt can be nominated.
Fairbanks has powerful and loyal
friends in both the Taft and Roosevelt
camps. His veteran lieutenant and
manager, Joe Healing is second in
command at the Taft headquarters,
Fairbanks friends believe that they
see in the intrigues which are being
organized to sidetrack Taft and Roose-
velt an opportunity for the former vice
president, and they are getting ready
to take the fullest advantage of it,
They do not fear La Toilette, who
has embittered both the Taft and
Roosevelt men by the course he has
taken They point out that Cum
minis has few friends In either the
Taft or the Roosevelt camps. Hadley.
they say, is too radical ever to gain
Taft votes.
Their information about Associate
Justice Hughes Is that the delegates
Of New York will not consent to his
choice Therefore they have reached
| the conclusion that the former vice
president might easily become the
| second choice of a larger number of
| delegates than any other man.

Big crowds are turning out to the
farmers institute train today. The big
special is out on the Turtle Lake line
and reports to The Forum indicate
that this is one of the banner days Of
the trip, so far as attendance is COM
cerned
The farmers in that section, delight-
ed with the splendid rain, the unex-
celled condition of the soil and the
bright prospects for the greatest crop
ever harvested in that section, are
turning out by the hundreds to see and
hear more of the advanced farm meth
DDS which are doing so much for the
state.
The heavy roads kept some farmers
away but there is intense enthusiasm
on the part of those who come and
there fs a disposition to study and in
quire which augurs well for the sue
cess Of the effort.
Yesterday was spent at Jamestown
where a large number visited the train.
Tomorrow the train will cover the line
between Darlington and Leeds.
