or Convention; Colonel eGts
Electors.

Huron, S. D., July 3.-Absolutely re-
fusing by vote Of to to indorse
President Taft or the action Of the re.
publican national convention, held re.
Gently in Chicago, the republican state
convention of South Dakota here last
night adopted platform which makes
no mention of Taft or national issues.
The convention elected five president
ial electors bearing the Roosevelt label.
Every effort of the Taft forces to Sc
cure an Endorsement of the Taft candi-
dacy for reelection or to instruct the
electors for him was absolutely futile.
The electors are un1nstructed.
The progressives controlled the con-
vention, which is among the first state
republican conventions to be held in
the country since the national conven-
tion. The Taft men, however, never
gave up and carried the battle to the
floor of the convention and fought q
hard battle for party regularity.

Hoosier Governor Wins Out
After Burke Of North
Dakota, Who Had Press.
ed Him Hard, Withdraws

Baltimore, Md, July 3-In the dying
hours of the democratic national con-
vention early this morning 1t seemed
for q time that there would be an
other deadlock over the nomination
for vice president. Gov. John =.
Burke of North Dakota, for whom Mr.
Bryan had expressed preference Tor
the second place on the ticket, had
polled enough votes on the first two
ballots to block the nomination of Gov.
Thomas r. Marshall Of Indiana, the
leader. ,,.
The third ballot had just bee, I,a
dered when the chairman of the
Dakota delegation obtained recognl-
ton from the chair and said:
North Dakota offered her three
times governor to the party believing
him to be the strongest running mate
for Gov. Wilson that could be named.
We made the best fight we could for
him and realize we are beaten. We
therefore withdraw his name, assuring
this convention that wherever there Is
a fight for democratic votes next fall
Gov. John e. Burke will be found In
the thick OF It," ~
The speaker thereupon moved to
make the nomination Of Gov. Marshall
unanimous. Immediately wild
scramble for the doors followed, few
waiting to hear the motion put. Sew
eral seconds later Chairman James
gavel fell at 1856 q. M, on the final
adjournment of one Of the most not.
able conventions in the history of the
democratic party.
w. J. Bryan remained a central fig
ure to the last. A short time before
adjournment he spoke his valedictory
as he called it transferring the party g
standard to the shoulders OF Gov. Will
son. The respectful attention which
the speech received and the applause

NO NEED FOR
THIRD PARTY
SAYS OSBORN
Michigan Governor Hopes
Roosevelt Will Not be a
I Candidate; No New Party
Ticket in Minnesota.

Lansing, Mich, July 3.-Gov. Chase
S. Osborn, an ardent Roosevelt sup.
porter during the colonels battle for
the republican presidential nomination
today issued a statement in whcih he
declared his belief, that there Is no
necessity for new political party.
He also stated he hoped Roosevelt
would not be a candidate.
"The issue Is clearly joined for the
people, he said. 1T is Wall tsreet
versus Wilson. Wilson's character,
temperament, preparation and fitness
is above the high average of American
citizenship. He is Christian, q
scholar and fearless citizen. Repub-
licans can vote for Wilson without
bolting. The real republican party has
no candidate for president this year.
There has been no nomination. The
action of the political free hooters at
Chicago is not binding upon the re,
publican party even If for the moment
they are bearing aloft its stolen en-
sign"
No Third Party In Minnesota.
st. Paul, Mimi, July 3.-The pro.
gressive party being organized under
the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt
cannot take part in the primaries in
Minnesota this fall according to an
opinion issued by Attorney General
Lindon A Smith today.
The party has no legal standing
here and cannot qualify under the pro-
visions of the state law, according to
the attorney general.
Indiana Roosevelt Men Confer.
m
republican leaders of the state
gathered in this city today to discuss
whether third party should be
formed to nominate state ticket il
the "progresseves" or should. whatever
possible, elect delegates to the regular
republican state convention and make
a stand for the nomination Of candt
dates favorable to Col. Roosevelt and
his policies.
z roosevelt Makes No Comment.
Oyster Bay, N Y. July 3.-E. A
Ven Valkenburg of Philadelphia one OF
Theodore Roosevelt lieutenants, came
to Sycamore Hill today to talk over
plans for the third party campaign.
The colonel said he would have no
comment to make at this time on
Woodrow Wilson's nomination or on
the democratic platform.
Some Of the newspapers say that
Wilson's nomination as progressive
takes the wind out Of your sails" sug'
gested an inquirer.
That's just the way they look at
it," replied Mr.. Roosevelt.
Minnesota Men Support Wilson.

Mr., REED SAYS
THECONvEkT|0N
IS AUTH H0RIIY
Chairman Of Democratic
State Central Committee
Smiles at Committeeman
Riegelman's Latest Move.

Henry Reigelman, according to the
Des Moines Capital, has announced
himself a candidate for chairman OF
the democratic state committee, sue
ceeding N. F. Reed of Ottumwa. Mr..
Reed was so informed this afternoon
and his most pronounced comment
was smile that indicated that Mr..
Reigelman would find him worthy
foe for the honor. The scalp of Judge
M. j. Wade, national committeeman
from Iowa, is also sought by the
seventh district member OF the state
committee.
When asked If he was candidate
for reelection Mr.. Reed said 1t was
his desire to work for the interests OF
the democratic party, and that ne be-
lieved he could do more effective work
at the head Of the state committee
than out Of 1t.
In referring to Mr.. Reigelman's an
nounced candidacy, Mr.. Reed said
that he was willing for the state con-
ventfon at Cedar Rapids July Is to de-
eide as to who will be chairman OF
the new state committee. He believes
his chances are better than Mr.. Reigel-
mans for the post
ut should be understood by Mr..
Reigelman as well as any one else,
said Mr.. Reed, that the state conven-
ton is the highest authority In Iowa
democracy, and that the choice OF the
eleven districts of the state must be
ratified or rejected by the convention.
Personally I am not opposed to the
convention selecting as chairman OF
the state committee a worker who
does not represent any certain dis
trict. However, that Is up to the con-
vention."
Ottumwa supporters of Mr.. Reed
have assurance that he will poll eleven
lot the twelve yotes In the state com.
mittee, this being the total, including
the vote of National Committeeman
Wade and excepting only Mr.. Riegel-
mans vote.
What the Capital Said.
The Des Moines Capital story that
informed Mr.. Reed that he was to be
opposed for state chairman. Is as fol-
lows:
Iowa democrats are formulating
plans to beat Nick Reed OF Ottumwa
for chairman of the state central COM
mittee and to oust Judge Wade as ma
tional committeeman. Henry Riegel-
man of Des Moines has formally an
nounced his candidacy for state chair
man and a good man will come out
soon for Wade's place.
I'VE progressives will not stand for
the action of Wade and Reed in aiding
Parker's selection as temporary chair
man of the national convention" said
Riegelman today. 'They have not rep
resented the democrats of Iowa, a
large majority Of whom are progress
sives"
A merry row is promised for the
state democratic convention at Cedar
Rapids July Is. Mr.. Riegelman says
his candidacy Is announced after ma
ture reflection. II have had kilograms
from many democratic workers Of the
state" he said, "who are disgusted
with the Misrepresentation of Wade
and Nick Reed"
