publican state convention today elect
ed six Taft delegates-at-large to the
national convention by vote OF S9o1s
to 3625s, defeating six Roosevelt can
didates for delegates at large. The
convention endorsed Taft by vote OF
S931a to 3591a for Roosevelt endorse
ment. The presidents forces were In
complete control of the gathering, in
cluding all the convention committees.
The first test of strength was on
the attempt of the Roosevelt forces
to substitute resolution endorsing
Roosevelt for the republican nomina-
ton for president, for the minority
report, which endorsed Taft.
Taft won this by vote of 39S1s to
3591z for Roosevelt.

He stated that he saw no reason why
Rosewater should not be elected for
the fortnight remaining of the life of
the old committee but when pressed
to express an opinion regarding the
way that action would be interpreted
by the Roosevelt following he simply
shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
,fhe Taft men were iubilant over
the word from Ohio that Taft had won
out there and they insisted this was
the forerunner Of victory all along the
line. General Charles Dick, who will
have charge of the contests for the

very plain that he expected every con-
testing delegation headed by Taft men
Ito be seated Incidentally 1t became

4 General Dick stated that he will
handle the contests in person, aided
in each instance by local attorney
from the district or state affected. The
briefs already prepared in all of the
cases are very voluminons but is be-
lieved that the committee will decide
the majority of the cases on the argu-
ments of the attorneys, instead of on
the briefs.

OF the Fourth OF July were arranged
at a meeting Of Fort Benton citizens
held in the council rooms Tuesday
evening. The report of the soliciting

contributions promised, and hold the
excess as a cash asset for the proposed

Fishes and Memory.

Do fishes remember? A scientist
who has been investigating the
question found that by placing a red
cylinder containing food and also
an empty green cylinder in the
aquarium with a single fish the lat
ter soon learned to enter the red
cylinder each time it was immersed
and avoided the other one. More
over, the fish went into the red ves-
sci and waited until some crumbs
were dropped into it, which he then
ate. At other times the fish entered
the baited red vessel even though he
did not appear to desire food, see
ing that he did not eat at such
times. The factor of hunger was
therefore eliminated here, and the
existence of habit or reflex ac-
ton was proved.
