{ WASHINGTON, July PA move
Enent to remove the stigma of the al
legged stolen presidential nomination

today by Representative Mondell of
Wyoming, who In lengthy speech,
characterized the Roosevelt followers
las "Tyrants, and the entire progress
I've movement most impudent and rev.
Aolutionary plan of political larceny
ever conceived"
The action of the national Republi-
can committee in seeking the contest
ling delegates was declared by Mr..
lMondell to be correct, pust and equit-
able.
He specifically mentioned the In
diana delegation.
Mr. Mondell opened the way for a
long drawn out controversy with many
speeches on both sides of the subject.
Asserting that Champ Clark's sup
porters have more excuse of boiling
at Baltimore than the Roosevelt sup
tporters had for forming a. third party
after the Chicago convention, Mr.. Mon
dell said:
"Why are not the Democrats of
Missouri preparing to have the demo-
cratic electors in that state vote for
Champ Clark? The Democrats are a
large and enthusiastic majority, sup
ported their preference first, last and
all the time for their beloved fellow
citizen, honored and respected speak
er of the house. BY all the reasonable
and proper rules he was the candidate
of that convention. In the moment of
trial, the great prize was ruthlessly
snatched from him, without warrant,
justification or excuse.
IF there are any electors anywhere
who have any sort of justification for
being traitors to their binding and
sacred obligation, which rest upon an
elector, to vote for the candidate of
the party that was placed in nomina-
ton, they are the Democratic electors
in Missouri.
II assume however, that they, like
the man they honored with their vote,
are honest citizens and therefore, no
such thought has entered their minds.

enterprise. The display of horses and
cattle will be of the best from the
herds of the Indians. The red men have
been exceptionally successful his year
in the production of crops, and displays
of I'll kinds of grains will be made from
the Indian farms. The superintendent
believes this will be a great incentive
to visiting Indians, who are not en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits, to start
to farming. He has arranged for num-
erous sporting events. in which the In
dians will compete. Arrangements will
be made to feed the Indians while at
Lower Brule and this of itself will be
a big feature. Hundreds OF white people
plan on attending the fair, which will
be the second of its kind in the stata.
