cordance with these instructions. they
would be free later on to switch to a
second choice. They hoped to gain
greatly in these changes.
1t had been known for weeks that
because of the great number of can
didates and "favorite sons" in the
fight for the nomination that a Sc
lection on the first ballot was out
of the question. The ballot this morn
ing bore out the expectations. 1t was
because the delegates knew the stu
alton was complex that they patient
ly sat through the night listening to
many weary hours of oratory and
then agreed to a test vote before TAX
ing a recess for sleep and conference
prior to renewing the struggle. Every
one wanted to know how matters
stood and the roll call gave a definite
idea of the preliminary lineup.
New York Is Uncertain.
The big doubtful quantity in it was
the vote of New York. That delega-
ton at a caucus last night decided to
give it's ninety votes to Governor Har-
mon on the first ballot. There prob
ably will be other caucuses in the del
egation as the ballots progress and
there is a chance that the big block
of votes may be thrown at any time
to Clark, Wilson or some other can
didate.
In addition TO the renewed talk OF
a possibility of Mr.. Bryan's nomination
there was renewed talk of dark
horses" Most of the delegates, how
eH er, seemed content to let the f1g1I
1ur along in the convention through
six or seven ballots before trying to
reach agreements With opposing forces.
There seemed to be today little
chance of a stampede. Any attempt to
nominate Mr.. Bryan would meet with
stubborn resistance from some of the
southern states instructed for Under
wood and held subject to his relea Sc
and from tt.a conservative element in
Guiding possibly trne q! the s''-1al:s1
Clark states.
Mr.. Bryan was the center of fight
in the convention last night precipi
tated by him at the opening of the ey-
ening session and continuing nearly
three hours. There was much speculd-
ton as to what his purpose was when
he arose almost Immediately after the
fall of the gavel and asked imme-
date consideration of a resolution
which would have thrown Thos. F

the Harper county lawyer was not oil

Of the libel and ON this theory an agree
ment to acquit Wilcox was reached at
5 o'clock. A few minutes later the YER
dict was read in the court ROOM
Case a Sensational One.
The charge for which the two men
were convicted, is but a misdemeanor
under Kansas laws. Yet a more SEN
sational or more bitterly fought trial
has seldom been heard in the state
Because of the prominence in business,
social and political circles of the men
on trial and those behind the prosecu-
ton, the case was of state wide I'M
portance. From every section OF the
state men and women were brought
to Topeka to testify in the case. More
than $50 witnesses were subpoenaed.
Ir Anthony, business affairs We're

to clerks and assistants, while heads of
the largest business concerns in the
town came to Topeka to attend the
trial.
Judge Preston B. Gillett. who pre-
sided over the Twenty-fourth district,

and Pratt counties, was the complain

CONFESSES HIS DEBT.
Taft Says He Owes Both Nominations
to Roosevelt

Washington. June 2S.-With the return
to Washington of many of the Republican
leaders who aided in the denomination of
PRESIDENT Taft, the president learned for
the first time that there were minutes
during the Chicago convention VIXEN his
nomination hung by q thread.
colonel Roosevelt, according to one
leader, had the opportunity within his
grasp to stand aside, throw his strength
to compromise candidate and see both
himself and President Taft eliminated
from the contest. The president told call
ers that to Mr.. Roosevelt he owed his
nomination in 1908 and to Mr. Roosevelt
more than to any other man. he owed his
denomination last Saturday night
Although some of the Taft leaders pro-
less that there never was any danger of
OBJECTIONS in their ranks others are
known to have openly talked of a COM
promise candidate and to have made ad-
vanceS to some of the adherents of Col
onel Roosevelt. According to the reports
brought back to Washington, these offers
went to Mr.. Roosevelt and they were
turned down. He would not listen to talk
of a third man and the Taft leaders. see
ing no opportunity to get together
went ahead and renominated the presi-
dent.

Utah nor Idaho has today any law

heavy, and the potatoes will be OF a
high grade In every respect. Take
Idaho, for instance. This year, un-
less the early cold weather shall af-
feet the crop through frost, the state
will have an unusually large product
OF healthy potatoes. One grower in
the Twin Falls section will this year
gather 500 bushels TO the acre, which
is close TO North Americas record on

record In this country Is sA75 bushels.
