gen. BRAGG DEAD
At Age OF s.
Commander OF Iron Brigade During
The Civil War, Answers
Last Call.

Fond Du Lac, Wis, June 21.-Gen.
Edward s. Bragg, commander of the
famous Iron Brigade during the Civil
War, died yesterday afternoon.
General Bragg had been in feeble
health for a number of years. He
was S5 years old last February. He
served several terms in Congress as
Democrat from Wisconsin. After
his retirement from Congress he rep
resented the United States in diplo-
matte positions in Mexico, Cuba and
China.
General Bragg gained considerable
fame in the national Democratic con-
vention of 1884, when in seconding
the nomination of Grover Cleveland,
he used the expression, 1--WE love him
for the enemies he has made.
During his service as Consul Gen.
eral to Cuba he was said to have made
himself persona non grata through a
criticism of the natives of that coun-
try, expressed in a letter to a. friend
in Fond Du Lac. The letter mad
vertantly was made public.

Delegates Weary-Work viii Be
Rushed.


Chicago, June 21-Delegates to the
Fifteenth Republican convention
weary Of the protracted skirmishing
by the Taft Roosevelt leaders, and
their impatience has brought the poll
tical generals to the realization that
proceedings must be pushed ahead.
In every way possible affairs are be-
ing shaped to have the convention
concluded tomorrow evening, but
many believe 1t will be continued
next week. The management of the
Coliseum has been notified the hall
may be needed another week.
The opening of the fourth day of
the convention finds president Taft a
strong favorite with the possibility of
a third candidate, second choice in
the betting.
With regard to this convention Col.
Roosevelt is considered out of the
race. The Taft managers declared a
majority sixteen to eighteen votes for
their candidate assured.
What course will be followed by
the Roosevelt forces is a matter of
much conjecture. Announcement has
been made that they will call con-
vention to meet here in August, in
case candidate is nominated by al
legged fraudulent votes, and will then
likely nominate Roosevelt as a pro-
gressive candidate.
Repeated efforts have been made
without avail to secure statement from
Roosevelt regarding his future plans.
Outside of California, Pennsylvania
and possibly Kansas, it is predicted
Roosevelt would have little support on
any proposition that might effect the
regularity" Of the men who follow
him.
