IN CONTEST
Former Kansas Democrat Pro-
greSSiVe Roosevelt Man Now.
Candidate for Legislature on
Bull Moose Michigan Ticket.

Washington, July 24-General w.
H. Sears, a former Kansan, born and
raised and educated at Lawrence. but
now of Pentwater, Mich, has an
nounced himself as a candidate as a
Roosevelt progressive for the nomina-
ton of state representative to repre-
sent Oceana county, Michigan. Gen
eral Sears is politically well known in
Kansas for many years. Originally he
was Democrat, but when the Popu-
list party was born in Kansas he was
round to be one of it's foremost advo-
Gates. He was brigadier general of
the Kansas militia under the Leedy
regime and during the rump legisla-
ture figured quite conspicuously in af-
fairs during that trying period
In appealing to the voters of Oceana
county, General Sears in circular let
ter says:
Believing it to be. the duty of every
good cltizen to serve the people when
ever called upon, or whenever oppor-
tun1ty offers, 1 have announced my
candidacy for state representative as
a Roosevelt Progressive, and if elected.
pleoge my best energies in the legis-
lature to the service of Michigan and
Oceana county.
Like Roosevelt, I'd rather trust
the 1mpulsive judgment of the people
than the deliberate judgment of the
possess; and with Roosevelt L believe
that this country will not be a per-
manently good place for any of us to
live in, if We do not make it a rea-
sonably good place for all of us to
live in In other words, government
should be founded upon the principle
of the greatest good for all; and such
government can only be maintained
by putting it in the hands of the peo-
pie and making it quickly responsive
to their will
''If the New Nationalism means any
thing, it means this. Too long our
government has been under the undue
influence and control of the bosses,
backed by the vested interests. What
ever reforms are necessary to place
our government in complete control of
the people must be adopted If we
would perpetuate Republican institu-
tionS.

IS CHARGED
Bridge Company Representa-
tiveS Arrested in BelOit.
False Measurements Robbed
County of $4,000, Allegation.

Beloit Kan, July 24.-George E. Cole,
representing the Midland Bridge COM
parry, and Joe Jecker, a foreman en-
ployed by the company are under ar
rest here charged with obtaining money
under false pretense. Their prelimin-
ary hearing is set for Thursday. Their
arrest grew out of measurements made
on bridges erected by this company in
Mitchell county. Both were released on
bond.
Four counts are charged against Cole
who seems to be a sort of manager for
the company. Two counts are against
Jecker. The penalty for the offense
charged against these men is not to ex-
ceed years in the penitentiary on each
count.
The trouble leading to the arrests be-
gan when when the county attorney
and commissioners measured the con-
crete work done by the company of a
bridge that was being built. Shortages
in the measurements were found. The
Midland company was rlotified, the Of
hcerS declare, and answered that the
measurements We're made and collected
for upon the figures given by the fore
man and manager in charge If there
was any mistake, the officials of the
company are declared to have said. it
would please the company to set it
right
This explanation had the effect of ap-
peasing the county officials but to make
sure they measured other concrete
bridge work done by this concern. They
allege they found the county had been
overcharged in every instance. The
arrests followed and eight civil suits
directed against the bridge company
ask for a reimbursement of the county
The suits demand total of $22, 900
which, it is declared, has been wrong
fully paid to the bridge company by
the county as a result of false measure

Press dispatches from Chicago
Wednesday quote Senator Gug-

the Colorado delegation and for
the delegation as follows:
Colorado should be proud of
Mr.. Devine. 1t was his speech
that helped hold the delegates in
line. The demonstration which
followed and which the Roosevelt
people planned to follow his argu-
ment did not win single vote.
Devine covered himself and Colo

Convention Notes

All eyes have been turned this
week to the Chicago convention.
Unlike the ordinary Republican
convention, with its well-oiled ma
chinery, it's cut-and-dried program
and boss-driven delegates, h e
present National gathering pre-
sents the spectacle of house
seriously divided against itself.
That it is to be finish fight is
certain, and victory in nomination
lacks much of election in the COM
ing campaign.
Succeeding roll-calls on various
questions show little change as
the convention progresses, and the
long periods of adjournment We'd
nesday and Thursday would indi-
cate modification of plans.
The choice of Senator Root as
chairman was made with such
small majority that the Roosevelt
forces are still claiming victory for
their candidate.
In the early hours of the ses-
sion Gov. Hadley Of Missouri was
given an ovation by the conven-
ton. 1t was thought he might
become the "John Alden" of 1912.
A. M. Stevenson of Colorado was
toasted to a delightful brown by
Heney of California during one of
the sessions of the Republican
love feast in Chicago this week.
The telephone and messenger
service furnished at Monte Vista
by the Mountain States Telephone
d Telegraph Co. during the Re-
publican convention is deserving
of much praise.
