Believes in Roosevelt.

N. w. Durham OF Spokane says he
will support Colonel Roosevelt for the
following reasons: $685.
First, because he is the free
choice of an overwhelming majority
of the masses OF the republican voters.
Second. because he was the choice
of the majority OF the honestly
chosen delegates to the national con.
yention.
sThird, because am in earnest
accord with his patriotic purpose to
Wrest control OF this government
from predatory interests and the un
scrupulous aud oftentimes corrupt
political bosses, who arc bnt the
henchmen of these interests.
"FOurth, because I regard him as
prominently fitted by honesty,
patriotic purpose, and statesmanllke
ability to serve the American people
as president with credit at home aud
the highest respect abroad"

merely the beneficiary of success
tul fraud and not entitled to the
support of any republican on party
grounds or of the support of any
honest man of any party on moral
grounds. He requested the Roose-
welt delegates to decline to vote, a
request most of them granted, as
shown by the vote.
On Sunday the delegates left for
their homes, tired from the weeks
excitement and turmoil.
Colonel Roosevelt returned to
his home at Oyster Bay to remain
several weeks.
President Taft did not go to
Chicago during the convention,
but remained in Washington.
When informed that lie was re-
nominated he said it was a great
victory for the party and for the
country.
VIM. Bryan, who attended the
convention as newspaper repre-.
sentative, said in his report that
koosevelt's statement repudiating
the Coliseum convention would
prove an historic document. He
said the colonel's position was
right and he lauded him for the
determined fight he made. Bryan
also characterized the denomination
Of Taft as hollow mockery and
joins great mass of republicans
in predicting the presidents de-
feat for reelection in November.

TWO(H|(A(O(ONVHNT|ONS
Taft and Roosevelt Are Both
Nominated.
COLONEL IS INDEPENDENT
Refused to Countenance Fraudu-
lent Delegates.


The Chicago conventions closed
/ last Saturday. Finding all their
efforts to get justice and unseat
the fraudulent contested Taft dele
gates vain, the progressive with
drew and nominated Roose-
velt for president on an indepen-
dent ticket. The new progressive
party is to be organized and may
hold convention in August. In
accepting the nomination, Colonel
Roosevelt said he did SO with the
understanding that he would be
willing to step aside if it should be
the desire of the new party when
organized to select another stand
ard bearer.
In the Coliseum the Taft forces
in control proceeded with their
work, seating the fraudulent con-
tested delegates from Washington,
California and other states, and
proceeded with the denominations
of President Taft and Vice Presi-
dent Sherman. The Roosevelt
delegates sat through the proceed
ings, most Of them in silence, their
leader having refused to allow his
name 10 be placed before the con-
vention, in which he claimed a
majority of the honestly chosen
delegates, but in which, by the
steam roller process the Taft forces
had obtained full sway.
The vote on president was as
follows: Taft, SOL; Roosevelt, 1o7;
LaF gillette, Al; Cummins, II; moi
voting, 346; absent, 6.
In a statement by Roosevelt,
read to the convention by Henry
!. Allen of Kansas, the colonel
said clear majority of the dele.
gates honestly elected to the con.
vention were chosen by the people
to nominate him, that the national
committee had stolen SO or &c
delegates, putting in the rollcall .
sufficient number of fraudulent
delegates to defeat the will of the
people and to substitute a dis
honest for an honest majority. He
said the convention as composed
had no claim to represent the
voters Of the republican party, anc
any man nominated by it would be

ing of the board of village trustees
held Monday night, the matter
having been brought to the atten-
ton of some of the members by
alleged bootlegging carried on by
three different places in town and
an instance Of drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct on the part Of
some young men at late hour last
Saturday night. A majority Of
the members of the board declared
they were positive bootlegging is
being done but they said they were
unable to get evidence, personally,
of the fact, and, if something is
not done soon to remedy these
conditions, by those most strongly
opposed to saloons, two or three
of the members declared they
would favor granting licence for a
saloon. They stated, however, they
would not feel disposed to grant
license to any Of the parties against

ging have been made. The mat
ter was discussed desultorily to-
ward the close of the meeting but
no action taken.
An ordinance was enacted fixing
the annual estimate Of probable
amount of money needed to be
raised for village purposes for the
fiscal year beginning May I, 1912,
at $267o, as follows: For salaries,
$I7o; lights, $500; public improve

that the receipts from water rent
would be sufficient to defray the
current expenses and pay the
interest on the water works bonds.
Another ordinance was enacted
imposing dog license and provid-

same.
