| WELSH SUPPORTERS HELD
MASS MEETING SAT. NIGHT
Large Crowd in Attendance, Nearly
Every Country Ward Had Repre-
sentatiYes Present.

The smoke of battle having partially
cleared away a mass meeting of Welsh
leaders and supporters was held at the
Auditorium Saturday night, to discuss
the political situation, both past. pres
ent and future. Representatives were
present from every one OF the Country
wards, including Wards l, 3, and 9, as
well as the western wards. A number
of the local leaders spoke on the present
situation, and especially the prospects
politically for the country wards. The
universal opinion as expressed at TINS
meeting was that the country wards
must stand together against the poiltl'
cal domination of any one locaiity.
Welsh representatives expressed them
selves as unequivocally bound TO Keep
the pledges that they made during the
recent campaign ,;,,
The greatest harmony and good WIZ
prevailed between the members present
from the different wards of the parish
and a general feeling of confidence IN
the future welfare of the parish pre-
vailed throughout the meeting.

TAFT WINS FIRST
OF SEAT CONTESTS.

Chicago, June7-President Taft won
the first of the contests for seats in
the Republican national convention be-
fore the national committee when six
Taft delegates at large from Alabama
were seated by vote of fifty-threa to
nothing-an unanimous decision. The
committee seated Taft delegates in the
first and second Alabama districts
but gave the Roosevelt delegates in
the second the right to go before the
convention. The vote was unanimous
in both cases. The contest in the
sixth district wa1 withdrawn and the
other district delegation was given to
Taft.

the fourteen year old son, of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Lee. who was killed on
Memorial day by the accidental dis
charge of a revolver, were held Thurs
day afternoon from the Episcopal
church, Rev. George officiating.
The church was filled with friends of
the manly little boy, whose bright mind
and winsome disposition had made
him favorite not only with his play
mates, but with men and women with
whom he had come in contact. The
casket was covered with lovely flowers
tributes OF sorrowing friends. The
sermon was touching and beautiful
breathing hope to the grief stricken
parents and relatives. The pail bear
ers were chosen from among Richards
young friends, and one could not but
wonder at the ways Of the Grim Reap
er who not only
|"-reaps the bearded grain at breath
but "the flowers that grow between" !"
A long cortege followed the remains
to the cemetery where all that is
mortal of the bright young boy was
tenderly laid to rest, but his spirit
walks with God"
Among those present from out of
town were a half brother Of the de-
ceased, Robert G. Lee, ensign on the
battleship Delaware; Mrs. Seaton OF
Los Angeles; Mrs. Lees mother, and
her brothers, Albert and Henry Seaton
of Ogden. ,..
