STRAUBE DENIED FLOOR.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 13.-The.
Chicago newspaper lockout was
the biggest thing before the con
.vention of the international Ty-
biographical Union today.
President Lynch denied L. P.
Straube the right to explain the
attitude of the Chicago unions in
the lockout from the floor of the
convention.
Straube is president of the Chi
cago local of the Stereotypers'
Union, which was suspended by
International President Freel for
walking out in sympathy with
the locked-out preSsmen.
AS soon as Straube was denied
a hearing Lynch announced that
Freel would be heard. The insur-
gents among the printers imme-
diately began an attempt to block
the giving to Freel of privilege
denied to Straube.
A telegram was received from
the San Francisco Typographical
Union asking that a strike be
called on the Examiner, the
Hearst paper in that city. 1t was
referred to committee.

I: The conclusion, therefore, is that Mr.;
Roosevelt will be the nominee Of the
regular convention or the nominee of a
boiling convention. Get ready. for his
candidacy-he is quite sure to run.
Can Roosevelt BE 'defeatedi Yes, by
any good progressive. "A progressive
will hold the democratic vote and the
republicans who oppose a third: term

Wilson are the leading progressive
candidates-either one Of them can de-

Winona Review: According to sworn
statement filed with the secretary of
state of Pennsylvania it cost the Taft
and Roosevelt managers approximately
100000 to conduct the recent pri-
many campai gn, says the Winona In
dependent. In Allegheny county, which
includes Pittsburg, the following were
among the contributors to the Taft
fund: James Laughlin and Henry
Laughlin of the Jones-Laughlin Steel
Co., $4,000 each; B. F. Jones Of the
Jones Laughlin, Steel. Co., So 900; Sena-
tor G. F. Oliver, owner Of newspapers,

ore, $1,000; J. II. Reed. chief counsel
for the Carnegie Steel Co., $1,000: W.

Pittsburg Steel company, $1,000; A. W.
Mellon, banker and steel stock owner,
$1,000, and George Westinghouse, large
user of steel, $1,000.
Mr.. Roosevelt's chief supporters in
the present campaign are G. W. Per
kins, director of the steel trust, and
Frank A. Munsey, largest individual
owner Of the trust 8 common stock.
Nothing could be more apparent than
that the steel interests of this nation
would be perfectly satisfied to have

oxen are very serviceable. Horses are
very high, good farm team weighing
around 1,40O fetching now in the st.
Paul market $475 to $500. Old settlers
will recall that oxen did most of the
work clearing lands in this country.
In the East, it was customary, as
writer in the New York Tribune
Farmer pointed out, to buy yoke Of
oxen three or four years old, use them
three years, then sell them for beef,
the. oxen not deteriorating in that time,
and nothing would be lost, whereas
horses deteriorate. Another animal
which Minnesota farmers do not take
to as readily as their brethren in the
middle and southern state is the humble
hardy, though sometimes obstreperous
mule. Some claim it is because there are
no negro harvest hands in this state,
and that no one understands a mule 8
fancies so we'll as colored man. The
reason may be that. as the old darby
said-''it takes time to know mule'
and life is too short and men are too
busy up here to make a study of mule
temperament.

discovered that the twenty-three direc-
tors of the steel trust control invest
mems in industries and banks aggregat-
ing ST., 755, 100000. This means that the
steel trust directors through their in
fluences dominate prices of COM
modities, banking business, telegraph
tolls and insurance rates. And this
obnoxious trust has grown UP during
twenty years Of republican misrule.
Will the people continue this party in
power?
