Notes From
The Convention

Nomination Of Taft is claimed
on first ballot.
LaFollette forces have aligned
themselves in the Taft column.
The indications are that the
Roosevelt managers will favor a
progressive convention.
Roosevelt has announced his
willingness to accept the nomi-
nation for president on a pro-
gressive platform.
Chicago, June 20. = The re-
election of T. A. NARROW as re-
publican national committeeman
from Montana is announced.
A short lived boom for Gov.
Hadley of Missouri developed at
the Chicago convention Thurs
day. but did not at any time ap-
pear dangerous.
Late dispatches from Chicago
convention headquarters say that
Roosevelt has acknowledged his
defeat, and the chances are good
for the formation of a third DO
litical party.
Senator Root is the permanent
chairman of the convention and
in his speech delivered some ex-
ceedingly good advice to the del
egates. His control over the tur-
bulent element has been master
ly and has had a good influence
upon the warning factions.
Montana's delegation at the
Republican convention in Chica-
go have agreed to vote solidly
for Taft. Senator Dixon, Roose-
velt's manager, has conceded his
inability to influence the Mon
tana contingent, and turned his
attention fighting for the seat
ing of the California delegates.

J.W. Stambaugh
Seriously Injured

Wednesday afternoon, when
J. W. Stambaugh, one of the
firm of the WibauX Provision
Co., was riding a horse out in
the country the horse stumbled,
throwing him on his head. He
was rendered unconscious and
lay upon the ground for about an
hour.
Friends of Mr.. Stambaugh,
who were driving in the vicinity
of the accident, discovered the in
jured man and reported the case
to his brother in this city, who,
accompanied by DR.. Gaines, left
in an automobile for the scene of
the accident.
Mr.. Stambaugh was on his
way to look over a bunch of cat
tie, and had gotten about to the
Meeks ranch when the accident
occurred, which is about sixty
five miles from this city. His
brother and the doctor brought
him to the city on Thursday eve
ming, and he still remains in a
partly unconscious condition, al
thouh the doctor reports that he
does not look for serious compli-
cations.

Wibaux Needs
a Race Track

1t has been mentioned to us
during the past week that Wibaux
should have q race track. and after
studying the proposition over, we
have come to the same conclusion.
Ii we had track here it would
keep the Wibaux horses at home
and also bring in many new ones,
and this would leave more or less
money in our city. The nearest
track around here now is at Beach
and some Of the Wibaux horses
are left there to be worked out in
stead Of being kept at home as it
should be. If Wibaux had a good
ia ck we could race meets and we
all know that everyone would far
rather set in a grand stand and
watch good horse races than to
indulge in other forms of amuse-
ment
If desirable location could be
gotten we think that this would
be project for our citizens to look
into for it would be money maker
almost from the start. OF course,
this is proposition for the Com
mercial Club to take up, but, we
want to see Wibaux pull to the
front every day and do not think
that it will do any harm for us to
give a suggestion occasionally.
Better talk it over and in the
meantime let everyone boost for
race track to be built in the near
future. Let our motto be "Wibaux
first, last and all the time.'

Select Books for
Montana Schools

For the purpose of selecting the
textbooks which will be used in
all the public grade schools of the
state for the next five years, the
Montana state textbook commiss-
ion met in Helena yesterday and
probably will be in session for a
week.
The commission consists of sew
en- members appointed by TIE gov
rnor, as follows: w. b. Harmon,
state superintendent of schools; L.
r. Foote, of Dillon; Fl. A. Davee
of Lewistown; Ward H. Nye, of
Billings; John Dietrich, of Helena
W. K. Dwyer, of Anaconda, and
G. V. Fulton, of Butte.
Many Of the books now in use
in the schools will be discarded for
later and more up to-date books,
although a large percentage Of the
present textbooks will be retained.
The selection of the books which
are best alal ted to the various
grades in the schools in Montana
is work of considerable import
ance, and it is probable will con-
sumo at least a week of hard work
by the commission.
On every train Saturday and
Sunday agents, representing the
largest book concerns in the coun-
try, arrived to lobby for their par
t;cular house.

bers Of Germans and other i'm
migrants from Europe. who
much prefer our simple form Of
Government to the informed
ding of .uppish. officials. such
as they had to endure in the
strongly centralized govern
ments of Europe. These prefer
the opportunities which come
from the exercise of industry
and thrift and distrust the begin
ming Of any socialistic system,
the adoption Of which means
support by their efforts of the
lazy and careless.
Among such, the question
arises: IF the Federal Govern
ment should take over the trans
portation companies because it is
alleged these make too much pro
fit, what is there to prevent the
Government taking over a fac
tory or business Of any kind and
operate it, or operate a Compel

the express-carrying business?o
Local-optionists have expressed
their fears. now heightened by

Court just rendered, that Gov
eminent operation of the ex-

ford a mighty instrumentality
for invasion Of dry" territory

Although associations composed
of wholesalers and manufacturers
of most of the principal cities
have forwarded resolutions
against the proposed Parcels
Post to the Senate and House
postoffice committees, in one
such organization, although it is
said nine-tenths of the members
are opposed to this legislation,
resolutions of this character
were blocked by the fact that
the President is in a liquor house
which expects considerable reye-
nue. from dry territory and a
vice-president is a manager of a
mail-order bank printing supply
house.
The controversy here assumes
a broader plane. The fear is
often voiced that Socialistic con-
tralization means enforced homo

can traditions of liberty and local
self-government, a Government
owned people instead of people
owned Government.
