FIRST DEFEAT FOR CULL0M
Aged Senator Had Been in Politics
Nearly Sixty Years.

Chicago, April 11.-United States
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, eighty-two
years old, dean of the upper house In
congress and nearly sixty years in
politics, is pondering over his first
political defeat
Lawrence Y. Sherman, former lieu
tenant governor and now president OF
the state board of administration, pro-
vided a Republican legislature Is
elected next November, will be the
next United States senator from
Illinois.
Mr.. Cullom, on hearing of Mr.. Sher,
mans victory in the preferential vote
of the state, had only to say: Il will
abide by the decision"
Senator Cullom will have completed
thirty years in the United States sen
ate when his term expires March 4
next. Prior to that he was twice gov
ernor of Illinois, member of the house
of representatives and member Of the
legislature, serving one term as
speaker.

COLONEL HAS BEST OF IT
Roosevelt May Capture Entire State
Delegation From Maine.

Bangor, Me-, April 11.-Although the
state and district conventions to elect
ten delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention in Chicago was ex-
pected to be the most hotly contested
political gathering In years indications
are that harmony will prevail as the
result of all night conferences be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt factions.
The Roosevelt leaders claimed and
the Taft managers partly conceded
sufficient strength to elect the four
delegates at large in the state conven-
ton and two delegates in each of the
Second and Fourth districts. Both
sides claimed the Third district.
Should the Roosevelt forces elect the
two delegates in this district they
would have twelve delegates, Names
full quota at the national convention,
the First district already having decid-
ed for Roosevelt.

LIKENS ROOSEVELT
TO PONTIUS PLATE
Senator Jones Makes Bitter At
tack on Colonel.

Washington, April 11.--Theodore
Roosevelt was portrayed in the senate
as the counterpart of Pontius PLATE.
The picture was drawn by Senator
Wesley l.. Jones of Washington. who
sketched as the groundwork the re-
cent Detroit speech of the former
president condemning the votes of
the majority members of the Lorimer
committee, favorable to the Illinois
senator, as not being responsive to
the sentiment of their constituencies.
This is the latest rule for judicial
action suggested by this self-pro-
claimed leader of progress" said Sen
ator Jones. Because We have not
followed it we are not progressive, but
reactionary. This was the rule of ac-
tion followed by PLATE nearly 1900
years ago. This is the first time,
venture to say, in our history or In
the history of any civilized people,
that Pilates rule of judicial action has
met the approval of any man save
those who would cruelty Jesus, and
only despise him for following 1T.
Justice and fair dealing are thrown
to the Winds" he added. Appeals to
passion and prejudice displace reason
and logic. Vileness and corruption
are sought for eagerly and we rejoice
IL we are successful in our search
Sinister motives prompt those who
disagree with us and none is good
save ourselves"

HERD RECORDS ON DAIRY FARMS.

One of the most encouraging lines
of work which the United States De-

on in the South is the institution of
herd records on dairy farms. By this
means the Improbable COW is detect
ed and can be disposed of for slaught-
er. The heifer calves from the pro-
titable COWS are raised to take the
place of the Improbable animals. In
this way the quality of the herd is
steadily improved. The daily weigh
ing of the milk and the testing for
butterfat enable the dairyman to feed
