 CLAIMING INDIANA

Indianapolis, March 23.-With Taft and Roosevelt supporters claiming slight lead in the number of delegates chosen today to the republican state convention here next Tuesday. indications are that there will be a spirited fight in the nam ing of four delegates at large to the national convention and two electors.
 The last of 112S delegates to the state convention were chosen tonight Edward NJ Lee, manager of the Roosevelt cam paign, believes the former President will have majority of about 200. while Capt Harry s. New. national committeeman in charge of the Taft headquarters is confident of a similar lead
 Returns from a number of counties show that most of the Taft delegates have been selected in the cities and towns and that Roosevelt's best support has been given in the country districts.

Demands of Miners

The bituminous coal miners are asking for 10 per cent increase in pay with a reduction of working hours. The an- thracite miners are making similar de- mands but in addition want material changes in their working conditions. in cuding complete recognition of the union and the abolition of all interme- diaries between miners and employers. The union Is endeavoring to negotiate the demands of each class of mines sep arately. The operators assert that the increased pay asked for would augment the mines pay rolls more than $GO0,00o a week at the minimum.
 Tuesday operators and miners of bltu- minous fields of western Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will resume their conference to try to prevent a sus- pension April 1. Every offer from each side so far has been rejected and when the men reassemble they will face the same demands that were voted down in Indianapolis two months ago. Several days, probably. will be necessary to de- termine whether they can agree.
 Meantime the policy committee and the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America will assemble here. They meet Monday avowedly 10 draw. up recommendations to be submitted to a referendum vote of the union

Negotiations Broken Off


 All the negotiations for adjustment of the anthracite miners wages have been broken off, but the policy committee and the executive board, by the deeiAis'1 to- day. VIII not act in this matter until the outcome of the bituminous conference is made lSrown. If the bltnminons miners and operators decide they cannot agree, then, according to John P. White, presl- dent of the union, the executive boards recommendations as to both the anthracite and the bitumnous situations will be alike. He says q suspension of all the mines necessarily will follow, pending a vote of the miners on the question Of a strike.
 For several days the unions have await ed news of steps for a possible reopen ing of negotiations between the anthracite opera tors and miners, but none came.
 As it stands now, the executive of- hcials have berely report to the am thracite miners that there is no wage scale upon which to continue operations after April l." said Thomas l.. Lewis, for mel president of the union. That alone determines a suspension.'

the right to increase the ordinary
clerk hire Of auditors to an amount
which might be necessary to accomp-
lish the work, subject to the approval
of the public examiner and the at
torney general Owing to their abil-
ity to judge of the work, these two
gentlemen at once agreed, and the
board of commissioner have been
quick to realize the value of the work
done, thus granting the increase
readily.
i have two deputies and two clerks,
all of experience and there is not a
lazy bone in any Of them. They have
been willing to work nights, Sun
days and holidays and have needed
no driving at any time. I have never
expected them to work unless was
with them.
The current work has largely in
creased in the last two years. More
tax certificates were issued in 1911
than had been issued in all the pre-
vious years since the organization
of the county, and more were issued
in 1912 than for all years before in
Guiding 1911. Each one of these GER
titicates means more than ten times
the amount of work needed, if taxes
were paid up promptly, instead of be-
ing allowed to go into judgment.
Regarding the policy of changing
auditors every two years, 4 can say
only this: l have been in the Office
for nearly two years and find that
there are some things yet to learn.
A new auditor would require as much
time to learn the routine and then
probably give way to another in two
years. No first class business house
would think of doing such a thing.
Experience is what they want and
are willin to pay for. .s--
The auditors Office is the last place
where a change of head is beneficial
to the taxpayers. There are too
many matters in process at all times,
matters that require a week or a
month to complete, and if changes
are made the system is broken and
chaos reigns once more.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARkEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Ma
tural Color Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

There is nothing new about the
idea of using Sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our grandmothers
kept their hair dark, glossy and
abundant by the use of simple
Sage Tea" Whenever their hair
fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made
brew of Sage leaves, and applied it
to their hair with wonderful benef-
cial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chem
lists better than we could do it our
selves; and all we have to do is to call
for the ready-made product. Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,
containing Sage in the proper
strength, with the addition of Sui
phur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful
color and beauty to the hair, and is
one of the best remedies you can use
for dandruff, dry, feverish, itching
scalp, and falling hair. Get a fifty
cent bottle from your druggist today,
and you will be surprised at the quick
results. All druggists sell it, under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if the remedy is not exactly
as represented.-Adv..

On the other hand, the iron mines.
Of the range country, the business
blocks of the big cities, and the farm
ers of Southern Minnesota who al:
ready have good roads will have to
pay this tax and on their values it
will mean a material increase The
amount of money which will go to
the state from Beltrami county will
be but fifteen or twenty per cent Of
the amount that the state will spend
here for good roads:
Every farmer in the county can
figure this out for himself. He knows
his assessed valuation. Multiply the
assessed valuation by OOl-which is
one mill and it will give him the
amount of tax he will have to pay.
At present he is paying one-fourth
of it.
In return for this small increase,
the county receives the aid Of the
state in the building of every state
road in the county and already two
have been mapped out. It is BUSH
ness proposition for the farmer. and
not one can afford to let few
cents a year stand in the way of his
vote for this amendment. It will he

increases. To have it passed, every
business man and farmer here must
vote for it.

Kill Amendment Six.

There is one amendment to be vot-
ed on election day that should be de-
feated and that is the seven senator
bill. It should not be allowed to
pass by the though tlessness or care
lessness of the voters. Northern
Minnesota cannot afford to have this
amendment become part of the
state constitution. T..
1t is not fair to the voters of a
county, which may be entitled at
some future time through the
growth of it's population, to more
than seven senators. If a county
has the population it should have
it's just. and equal representation
whether it be seven or twenty-seven
senators. -- .@-.e..--
Northern Minnesota counties have
been and are now up against the rep
resentation problem. They have far
less representation than that to
which they are entitled. They have
been fighting hard for more, but have
been unable to secure it, even with
the assistance of the three big coun-
ties, Hennepin, Ramsey and St.
Louis. <~ ~
Southern Minnesota has been too
strongly represented and has defeat
ed any attempt at reapportionment.
The three big counties have fought
hard with us and will continue to
fight, and if they are entitled to
more representation in the senate
than seven they should have it.
The Southern counties urge the
passage of this seven senator bill,
which if passed election day, will
block Northern Minnesota's further
assistance from the big countess
They have given us aid in the past
and will be able to give us more in
the future If they are permitted to
secure senators in proportion to their
population. -.
Northern Minnesota wants reap
portionment and all agree that it
should have it. Hennepin, Ramsey
and st. Louis counties want reap
portionment and have been extend
ing their every effort to help us get
it. Southern counties do not want
it. Why? For the simple reason
that it will legislate some senator |
out of Office and reduce their repre-
sentation to exactly what it should
be. .-.-,..~, --.
Northern Minnesota must win, and |
to win it must kill the seven sena-
tor amendment election day.
