THE TRUTH ABOUT
THOSE DELEGATES
Continued from first page.

should 1t be necessary to defend the
president against the charge of stolen
delegates In Georgia when only two
out of the 50 members of the commit
tee voted against the Taft delegates?
IN no case did Col. Roosevelt make a
louder cry of fraud than in the Michi
gan case and yet there again his own
| friends on the committee declared
the Taft delegates were without doub
entitled to their seats.
Why even should 1t be necessary tc.
enter defense of the California case
This Is the one in which the most
noise has been made and yet 1t was
one Of the simplest and cleares. o.
all 1t was not denied that Taft had
carried the one district which was liz
controversy. The only question was
whether the total vote Of the state
should override the wishes of the Re-
publicans in this particular district.
and it was decided as similar ques-
tons have been decided in Republi-
can conventions since $780, Since
that date 1t has always been the rule
that the congressional district should
be the unit for representation in Ma
tional conventions. This COMPRESSION
al district in California declared it's
preference for Taft and 1t certainly
had the right to have that preference
represented even though the majority
OF the people in other districts pre-
ferred another candidate. The Cali
lornia case Is declared by the third
termers themselves to be the strong
est one they had before the convention
and yet 1t falls to the ground com
pletely when the simple facts are
known.
Attempted Steal for Roosevelt.
And so one by one these contests
could be taken up and it could be
hown to the complete satisfaction OF
every fair-minded man that they were
determined according to the law and
evidence. There was no nomination
stolen at Chicago for President Taft
There was a desperate attempt made

1t is somewhat amusingto note that

appointment has not made equally

The high cost of living, of which
so per cent Is consumed in food, 25
per cent, in clothing and rs per cent
in rent and fuel, has not been pro-
duced by the tariff, because the tariff
has remained the same while the in

the change of conditions the world

there is free trade and in countries

Spirit Lake Herald John M
Haines earned the honor which he
has received at the hands of the Re-
publican party. He is rightfully en-
titled to the nomination as a reward
for his service to his party and
his state. In his life of almost a de-
cade In Idaho. he has been put to
the test and he has not been found
wanting. He is worthy of being call
ed pioneer and empire builder, for
in his almost 20 years of residence
here, he has been doing things which
have not only been profitable to him
self but of a lasting benefit to the
people. 1t is well that the citizens
have thus selected man as candi-
date for governor who they know
will administer the affairs of the
state in businesslike manner, be-
cause Of his success as an individ-
ual. and 1t is well that a pioneer
should be given recognition in this
manner.

ROCKEFELLER BEATS
 ' CATHOLIC MISSIONS
HEARS OF THEIR OPTION ON PROPERTY ADJOINING HIS AND QUICKLY GOBBLES
 TT UP.

Tarrytown, N. r, July .SO.-John D. Rockefeller defeated the Catholic For eign Missionary society on Saturday in the purchase of Joseph Oussani' s place at Pocantico Hills. which the Brothers wanted for a new home. Yesterday he bought Irving Bryant s place of 26 acres, for which he has been bidding for 15 years.
 The quick action on Rockefeller's part came when he learned that his neighbor, Joseph Oussani. who owns 'feller estate>son the north, had given an option on 1t to Father Walsh of the Catholic Foreign Missionary so- ciety of Hawthorne for $45,000 of which $30, was to remain on mort gage. The Ssoclety obtained the op- ition on aJulySE12, and it ran for one week ! According to oussani. they let the. option sekpire. and the next day sNichols & H0bbie made him an offer of sBs. .000.-- He Signed the papers. the spurchaser being J. Tlva Jenkins, as Mir Rock kefeller never buys in his own v The Lsowrie estate of over, fifty acres was also living idle and MT. Rocke- feller. to shut off any further en- ordered that bought and the deed was soon in his hand.
 When the Brothers learned that uSSO1u 1t1So P1OPCA " " LNOCh- efel1er they went to Bryant, John Reedy. a. Rockefeller agent, heard of the proposed deal, and knowing that MT. Rockefeller had -been after the place for years, went to Bryant and offered him his price, 0,000 Hereto fore Rockefeller would never go above s15, 1000. Bryant said he would take it, and an automobile was called, and Bryant hustled down to Councelor Henry C. Grif1n's office where the contract was drawn up and signed. { John K Ewing of Cobb Lane coun- sel for the Catholic Foreign Mission .ary society, brought suit yesterday against Oussani at White Plains to compel him to deliver the deed to the society and not to MT. Jenkins, claim ing the option held good. MT. Rocke- .feller said that Oussani was protected and the sale was val id.
 The Christian Brothers have large home at Pocantico Hills and large estate. It adjoins Mr. Rockefeller, and he did not want to be hemmed in by another one. Every one admits that while he oiltwitted the Brothers he paid topnotch prices.

WILSON LEADS IN VOTE
He Equals Roosevelt And Taft Fig ures at State Trayeling Mems
 Banquet.

There was a gathering of 4s trav- cling men from all over the state at the Momauguin on the East Haven shore, recently. A poll was taken of their preferences for president. Bal lots were distributed and they were asked to vote as they would on elec- ton day. The, vote resulted:
 Wilson, 23; Roosevelt, g; Taft, A. Two of those present said on their ballots that they were independent and had not yet made up their minds how to vote, but would do as they thought most fit on election day.
 The result showed that the combin- ed Roosevelt and Taft vote just equal- led the Wilson vote, and discloses a situation like that of 1896, when the nomination of Palmer by the gold democrats split the democratic party under Bryan.
