Trying much higher tariK rates would

one which needs protection and the
people of Montana are willing to
abide by a fair decision from Pres
lident Taft's board as to the cost Of
production here and abroad. This
report has been rendered and "a
Democratic House of Representa-
ltives will pass a Democratic bill re-
yising the wool schedule this week
while the Republican minority,
standing squarely on the report OF
the tariff board, have reported a bin
txing tariff tax on the basis Of
clean wool which not not only gives
the wool grower all the legitimate
protection he needs. but at the same
time affords liberal reductions in
the present rates on wool for the
benefit of the consumer. Had 1t not

tariff would again have been revised
on an unscientffe and unfair basis
and both the wool grower and the
consumer ieopardized by a compro-

to either in all its details. The Re-

the situation for themselves and this
is the reason why they are support

The outcome in Montana affords
further evidence that the claims of
Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign managers
in his behalf have no actual basis in

A telegram was received today
stating that President Taft had car
ried every ward in Denver, Colo, in
a popular primary to select delegates
to the state convention. This as
sures solid delegation for Taft in
the national convention.
In the primaries in various coun.
ties in Michigan Saturday the Taft
forces won forty-eight delegates to
the state convention as against nine
teen for colonel Roosevelt. The
Taft men; carried Marquette, Dickin-
son and Fesco counties and lost il
Chippewa and Mason counties. IN

Chippewa county, the home of Gov
ernor Chase Osborn, who is leading
the fight for Roosevelt, the issue was
at the last moment that a Taft del
egation would be a personal slap at
the governor. The home city of the
governor is reported to have gone
for Taft, but the country districtG
saved the county for him. 1t has
only eight delegates in the con-
vention. The delegation from Me-
nominee is uninstructed but will
vote for Taft delegates to the ma
tional convention.
AS result of the primaries satur-

Another useful kind of extension
work is done through one-week ex-
tension schools. This winter ten of
these schools were conducted in nine
different counties. They had ITS
to 200 farmers enrolled for regular
study and instruction and reached
great numbers of others through
evening meetings. The university
was compelled to turn down many
applications for these schools on ac-
count of the limitations of the funds.
