Council Bluffs, March Sin one Of
the most heated conventions ever held
in this county the republicans selected
Taft delegations to the s!ate and dis
trict conventions but endorsed no one
for president. The prosressives clain
seven members Of the delegation of
thirty-two.
The convention in many respects
was of the crazy quilt variety After
organization a resolution committee Of
seven members reported unanimously a
set Of resolutions conspicuous for it's
eulogistic praise of Colonel Roosevelt
a word for Congressman w. r. Green,
and an endorsement OF e. E. Hart for
tional committee. John NJ. Calvin said
the resolutions were slight upon SEN
ator Cummins, President Taft and
Judge Walter I. Smith
Judge Smith opposed the resolutions
endorsing Roosevelt most vigorously.
He charged that the introduction of Il
Roosevelt resolution was a violation of
the peace program. Robert e. Wallace
objected to an expression Of sympathy
for Cummins from a Taft admirer.
Debate Was Furious.
Debate was fast and furious. The
vote was upon q motion not to instruct
the delegates or endorse any candi-
dates for president. This was carried,
1914 to SAY.
The balance of the resolutions were
adopted unanimously and the fight was
over, there being no contest when it
came to the adoption Of the report Of
the committee on the selection of dele
gates
The committee on resolutions, it de-
veloped, contained four Roosevelt, one
Cummins and two Taft men. 1t was
not reported how the committee man
aged to agree on a report.
The contention over the peace pro-
gram, which has been a matter Of
much comment, did not come up in the
convention but was talked about
among the delegates on the floor.
Refuse to Be Bound.
Leaders in the Roosevelt contingent
refused to be bound by the terms Of
the agreement and gave this as their
excuse for offering an endorsement Of
the colonel and Judge Smith, and 9TH
ers Of the Taft men refused to be
bound by it.
The action of the convention in re-
fusing to endorse any presidential
candidate is claimed by the anti Taft
men and progressives. who assert a
peace program was agreed, as to vic
tory for them.
The inability of the Roosevelt and
CumminS delegates to get together il
is claimed, was the cause of their fail
ure to control every action of the con-
vention. 1t is said they were working
at cross purposes all day. On the other
hand the Taft men, who repudiated the
peace program, claim a victory.
+. #. Everest. who is the Taft can
didate for district delegate. was not
mentioned in the convention, but it is
understood will have the support Of the

In the Island of Ushant-the isle

ably unknown in any other part Of
Christendom. When native dies

have a small wax cross made, some
seven inches long. This is solemnly

shaped like cinerary urn, that hangs

day is then set apart for their solemn
interment. 1t is the great day, the
climax of the mission. The church il

The crosses are brought from their

The Circus Auctioneer.

An auctioneer who had grown gray
in the work had been urged repeated
ly to retire.
mot till l get a chance to auction
off a circus" he said. THAT is the
height of my ambition. 1t is the point
every good auctioneer works for Not
many attain it, because there are not
enough circuses to go around, but SO
long as a man yields the hammer he
clings to the hope of getting a fling
at a circus some day. l can't explain
the fascination.
Men who have sold circuses at
auction tell me that it requires no
more ability to sell lions and elephants
than bonbon dishes. Maybe they are
right, but circus managers must think
otherwise, for Of all the people who
have goods to dispose Of at auction the
circus man Is most particular about
the qualifications and experience of
his auctioneer."
