TAFT AWARDED KENTUCKY CONTESTS TODAY;
N|NETy-TWO SEATS ALREADY WON BY TAFT;
FAIRBANKS HEADS RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE
Champ Cak Name Will Presented the National Convention Senator Reed of Mis-
Senator Bh Nps Vice Presidential BOOWam Barnes Selected as the

V Starts for Chicago Tonight Bitter Wrgg Today Before National Committee But
Nearly All Votes Were Unanimous for Taft


to show "a deliberate plan to carry
Kentucky for the president against
the wishes of the people, and that
this plan was participated in by par
ty leaders and the republican state
committee. Federal office holders" E"
said O'Rear, were at the bottom of
the trouble"
O'Rears argument covered not on
ly the state convention but the pri-
maries and conventions throughout
the state. In Breathitt county he
said the county chairman would not
call the committee together. and so
each side put up a chairman. Hun
dreds of Ohio and West Virginia men
had come into Kentucky, he de-
clared, to take part in the Boyd coun-
ty convention, while in other coun-
ties non-residents had participated.
The control OF the state convention,
he argued had been procured by the
neat{ Z Of eontesting delegations.
"The total vote which we claim
was taken from Roosevelt in the first
district is about GEO." said O'Rear.
In the second district the Taft for
ces saw in advance that they were
outnumbered in the Davies county
convention, and they hurried to the
hall and elected Taft delegates be-
| fore anyone else had chance to
come in"
Judge O'Rear had not completed
his argument when the allotted half
hour for that purpose had expired.
However, the committee extended his
time, and he offered some affidavits
alleging fraud, which were admitted.
Judge O'Rear declared that, if the
committee did not give fair consid-
GRAFTON to the Kentucky case, our
only chance will be to appeal to the
national convention and it's commit
tee on credentials"
Judge O'Rear then closed his case /;
and the national committee, by a
vote of 3S to l seated the Taft del
egates at large from Kentucky.
Then, by a unanimous vote, the
committee seated the Taft delegates
from the first Kentucky district. BY
another unanimous vote the second
Kentucky district delegates were Civ
en- to Taft.
The Roosevelt contests in the
fourth Kentucky district were then
withdrawn, and Taft's claims to
those delegates were no longer dis
puted.
Judge ORear, who presented the
case for the Roosevelt side, was the
republican candidate for governor of
Kentucky last fall and was defeated
by plurality of nearly 10000 by
the democrats. He is bitter oppo-
nent of William o. Bradley. repub-
| lican United States senator from Ken
lucky. Senator Bradley is the Ken
tucky Taft leader.
With the above contests disposed
of, President Taft had been awarded
80 seats since the national commit
tee began the hearing of the con-
tests, and Roosevelt had been award
ed none.

JULY IS DATE
TO VOTE ON
CONTRACT
One Word in Telegraphed Contract
Holds Back Definite Arrange
ments.-Expect Formal Con-
tract in Very Few Days.

The directors of the Water Users
association have set July 10 as the
date for the special meeting of the
stockholders OF the association to
vote on the acceptance or rejection of
the contract between the government
and the association for the construc-
ton of the canal. Printed notices
will be sent the members, according
to the bylaws and these must be
mailed 30 days before the meeting.
The contract has not arrived from
the reclamation service Office, but is
expected on any mail. Owing to an
uncertainty of one word i'm the con-
tract received by wire. nothing def
mite can be done until the formal
contract is received. The local direc-
tors received the contract by tele-
graph, the old contract being used
as IA copy and the changes sent in.
The loss of one word by wire is
causing part of the delay.

WENT BACK oN THE Shelves
crownIns Insult to His Beloved Books
Was More Than the Professor

Perhaps the bitterest moment in the
life of a lover of books is when he
finds that his treasures are valued by
no one but himself. The late Prof.
Churton Collins once tried to weed
out his books. after he had become
convinced that either the surplus or
their owner would have to move out
Of the library.

but at last the secondhand book-deal.

the uprooted weeds" They're no

ply.

mo, not one"
Some one suggested that as the
books had to go. the dealer had bet,
ter have them for nothing. It was a
bitter moment for Mr.. Collins. but
finally he assented. The man then re-
marked:
'ThatN be half dollar"
what do you mean? What for?"
exclaimed the victim in a restrained
tone Of voice.
ITO take them away" said the man.
That was too much for Mr. Collins.
The dealer was driven forth with OBJ
1urgations, after which, with sigh OF
relief. the owner replaced the books
upon his shelves.-Youth's Companion.

A physician says: Until last fall I
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall I began the use Of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-

then I have not had any Indigestion

The reason for the wonderful
amount of nutriment, and the easy
digestion Of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find.
In the first place. the starchy part
Of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes Of cooking, to per
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or grape-sugar, in which state It is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood.
The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use Of for re-
building brain and nerve centers are
retained in this remarkable food, and
thus the human body is supplied with
the powerful strength producers. SO
