President Taft was victor over Roose-
welt in the state wide primaries held in
Massachusetts, Tuesday. While he
carries the state by a majority of 5000
he looses the eight delegates at large
and also one district which gives the
latter ten delegates and Taft secures
eighteen delegates. Both sides put up
q hard fight and the race was of the
neck and neck variety. LaFollete
hardly polled enough votes to know
that he was running. Senator Crane,
who led the Taft forces, was defeated
for delegate at large.
Champ Clark also defeats Wilson by
an overwhelming majority. But in
this instance also. the delegates at
large are opposed to him. Some strange
political pranks are being played in the
campaign this year.

Parsats Start to Make Search.

Sunday afternoon q young man of
Melville township took young lady
friend who was visiting with his par
ents to her home, a distance of eight
miles, using his dads driving team to
make the long journey. When he ar
rived at the home Of the young ladys
parents he was compelled to remain
over night because of the heavy rain
and dense darkness. His parents not
being able to reach him by phone be-
came alarmed thinking the young lady
in question might have kidnapped him,
as she is so much larger than the young
man. A searching party was just being
formed when the young man arrived
home much to the delight of his par
ents. A sister of the above young lady
was also compelled to give shelter to
her friend, but there was not much
alarm for him as there is an under.
standing between them, 80 we are in
formed.

Richard Fancher, aged 20 years died
at the home Of his son, Albert Fancher,,
at Cameron Center April Goth. where
he has made his home since 1901. He
was we'll known to great many Audi
bon county people having resided in the
county since 1852
The deceased was born in Washing
ton county Iowa, July "a, 1912. He
moved with his parents to Keokuk,
Iowa, in 1865. In the year 1867 he was
united in marriage with Nancy E. Mar
shall and settled on farm. After dis
posing of his farm in 1882 he came to
Audubon county and settled on the
farm he still owns east of Cameron
Center. He united with the Christian
church in 1887. 4
His wife died Feb. &, 1901 and since
her death he has made his home with
his only son, Albert Fancher. The son
now realizes and feels that the angel Of
death has summoned his last earthly
parent, with all the love and sympathy
which filled that father heart and soul,
to Him who gave it. The call has been
answered and the spirit freed from the
body has taken its fight The deceased
suffered great deal the last six months
of his illness but he bore his pain and
suffering with great fortitude. Mr.
Fancher was kind man, unassuming
and highly respected in the neighbor-
hood where he spent so many years. A
son, two sisters and four brothers sur
vive him. Two sisters and one brother
have preceded him in death.
Funeral services were held at the
home of his son yesterday morning
conducted by Rev. Arnold. of Gray.
Interment was made in Cameron Gem
ter cemetery and here his remains rest
in peace beside his wife.

Clark Will Control the Democratic
Convention.

VVAvSMSAVAs
Control of the democratic state con-
vention to be held May 16at Burlington
was deinately settled by the county
conventions Saturday which boosted the
number of Clark delegates over the
necessary SIT mark and the friends of
the speaker of the national house are
preparing to stampede the convention
so that they will have three to one
majority. The same band, the 54th
Regiment of Ottumwa, that cheered the
regular republicans onto victory at &C.
dar Rapids has been engaged to play
The Hound Song at Burlington, and
it is expected the Clark democrats will
operate the steam roller with as much
grace and defniteness in purpose as did
the regular republicans who pinned a
Taft tag on the national convention.
In the meantime republicans are con-
sidering control of the second republi-
can convention. which it has decided,
shall be held in Des Moines after the
June primary with Dan Turner of Cor
ming as temporary chairman. This con-
vention has vital point at stake be-
tween the republican factions-the con-
troll of the state central committee. for
it is at this gathering that each district
names its member of the state organi.
cation. Accordingly there will be no
lack of interest in the delegates to be
named to this body. From now on un-
til the primary there will be much spec.
ulation as to who will have the voters
endorsement for the republican. nomi.
nation for the various state officers,
with chief interest probably conferred on
the senatorial contest between Ex.Sena-
tor LATE Young and Senator w. s..
Kenyon. While the latter is strong
party man and stated at Cedar Rapids
after che convention he would get be-
hind the party's national delegates, yet
even his friends concede that political
development during the past few weeks
and at the convention rather favored
the candidacy of Mr.. Young, Geo. w.
Clark Of Abel, candidate for Governor,
went through one of the most trying or
deals and it was said at times that un-
less he delivered the solid vote of
the Dallas county delegates to Cummins
he would be bycotted by the insurgents
in the primary. Now leading insurgents
deny they will allow his attitude in re-
fusing to interfere to make any differ
ence in his support. Senator Proudfoot
and P. G Holden are both keeping up
active work in the campaign. Cedar
Rapids papers paid a high compliment
to Hon. N. S. Ketchum, chairman OF
Board of Railroad Commissioners, who
is a candidate to succeed himself by
calling attention to his wide acquaint-
ance among delegates in connection
with the ct, too, that his nomination
papers bore names from every county in
the state. Because of his wide &C.
quaintance among manufacturers, stock
and grain men. wholesalers, retailers,
ETC., who appreciate his work in rate
reductions there is probably but one
man surer of nomination than he is
that is Attorney General Cosson, who
has no opponent in the primary.
