HOW BROWN
SACRIFICED
ROOSEVELT
AND INCIDENTALLY THE STORY
is TOLD AS TO HOW MUCH THE
PEOPLE HAVE TO DO WITH
NOMINATIONS WHEN SUCH
TRICKSTERS GET AT WORK.

Washington, June 12-The recent
state convention at Columbus, Ohio,
demonstrated that to certain extent
all political bosses are alike-their
first concern is for themselves. And
the Ohio result shows that Roose-
velt boss is actuated by the same sell
fish motives attributed to bosses who
this year are supporting President
Taft. For, according to the Repub-
lican congressman who attended the
Columbus convention, Walter F.
Brown, the Roosevelt manager in
Ohio, sold out the Colonel in order
to be reelected state chairman.
As the story is told, the conven-
tion threatened to be very close, with
control in doubt The Taft mana
gers were fearful, and the Roosevelt
managers We're not over-conhdent.
Finally deal was entered into to
settle the question of control. Wal
ter r Brown was necessarily a party
to this deal.
Brown was contendlng that Roose-
welt delegates would be in the major
ity at Columbus, but he did not feel
sure of it. Senator Burton main
tanned that the Taft delegates would
outnumber the opposition, but he
also was in doubt. SO the Taft and
the Roosevelt managers got together
and both sides frankly admitted their
fears. Walter Brown appeared for
the Roosevelt managers. Brown had
a great deal at stake in that conven-
tlon. He was then Republican state
chairman, and he wanted reelection
at the hands of the convention. But
he was not sure of getting It.
After considerable dickering, Wal
ter Brown, so goes the report, agreed
to swing to Taft enough delegates to
give the presidents friends control
OF the convention, on condition the
Taft managers would guarantee him
enough Taft votes to re-elect him
state chairman. And this is what
happened. The Taft managers were
content that Brown should continue
as state chairman If he would guar
antee enough votes to give Taft the
six delegates-at-large from Ohio,
making IA in all, and both sides
made good their promise Brown
was reelected chairman and Taft
got the six delegates,

BOTH PARTIES
TO HAVE PLANS
ON DRAINAGE
DISASTROUS FLOODS OF THE MIS-.
SISSIPPI BECOME A QUESTION
FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY AND
BUTT INTO POLITICS.

Chicago, June 1S,-Only the break
ing of levees on the Mississippi river
this year, with disastrous results, pre-
vented vastly greater loss of life and
property in the lower reaches Of the
river where the flood waters are pour
ed down from 26 states, furnishing
tragic argument to the executive com
mittee of the National Drainage con-
gress at is recent meeting in Chicago
for the national drainage plan which
was proposed. "With a great drainage
basin embracing AZ per cent of the
entire area of the United States turn
ing its uncontrolled flood waters upon
the lower Mississippi valley states,
New Orleans and vicinity owes its
escape from devastation entirely to the
breaks in the levees further north"
declared John A. Kruse, "breaks
which caused death and destruction
running into appalling figures but not
equal to the greater disaster that was
prevented" These facts will be used
to show why the federal and not state
governments must take up the prob
lem Of controlling the rivers in flood
seasons and draining the overflowed
areas, the flood waters Of any state
rarely being the cause Of damage in
that state. The drainage act which
was given final revision and which
will be introduced In congress, en-
bodies a plan by which about $4,000
900 would be come available to the
secretary Of the interior at once, this
sum being the moneys received from
the sale and disposal OF public lands
in the states of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Lou
islana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin
since June 30, 1905. Committees named
to present the drainage planks to the
republican and democratic conven-
tions, as an emergency need in view
Of the enormous loss suffered in the
south during the freshets this year.

voice Oh the people, nave since
learned l was mistaken"
At that time the government pur-
chased 1862 elevators in different parts
of the province. Ten new elevators
were constructed by the state concern.
The annual report submitted to par
Lament shows that $1,OO1,S42 we're
expended by the province before the
elevators were ready for bushel of
grain.
Last year there was a deficit Of $S4,-
las in its operator. The deficit for
this year will be even greater. This
includes nothing for deterioration of
the plants, interest on the investments
nor loss Of taxes had the 172 eleva-
tors belonged to private concerns.
The charge is made that all sorts of
old, worn-out, unsaleable and unprof-
table elevators were unloaded on the
government agents at exorbitant
prices, but that owners did not sell
their lines upon which they were
making money. In many towns the
government, in order to secure a mon
opoly, purchased several elevators. At
the town of virden the state took over
three elevators. At the town Of Bins
Garth there were four, Crystal City,
three, Elva three, shoal Lake, five. In
81 towns there we're II elevators pur-
chased by the government
Although when purchased, many of
these elevators were out of repair and
worn out, practically nothing was done
at remodelIing them last year
The refusal Of farmers to patronlze
the government concern is given as
the reason for its failure. But nothing
is said as to reasons Of the producers.
At Souris So carloads of wheat were
shipped. Just one of these passed
through the government elevator.
Political intrigue, reckless extrav-
agance and gross mismanagementl
mark every step of the sad and sorry
career of government owned elevators
in Manitoba" says the Winnipeg Free
Press. "The taxpayers of the prov
ince may consider the million dollars
invested In the elevators as absolute
ly lost" editorially says the same
paper.
G. D. Mcpherson, member parlia-
ment, said officially, "There was little
to be surprised at in the fact that the
scheme was so complete failure"
Summing the situation, the Free
Press editorially says: Whatever the
outcome Of all these rumors and nego-
tlations may be one thing is certain,
the Manitoba elevator commission has
been a CHASTITY failure and the farmers
Of Manitoba are today confronted with
an elevator system which is practical
ly imperative and with no prospects
of any adequate provisions being made
for the crop of 1912 and this, too, in
the face Of an enormous expenditure
of money to secure the same"
The state system made no effort to
return a profit. It's sponsors declared
only expenses were sought to be COW
cred by the operation, The rates
charged grain growers were the same
as those charged by the private con-
Germs. This dismal failure is credited
to the difference in the operations Of
a privately owned concern and one
publicly operated
