Murdered BY Desperate Convicts.

LINCOLN, Neb., March l4.-Three
prisoners at the Nebraska prison ut
Lancaster, three miles south of here,
assailed and killed this afternoon
Warden James D%elahunty, Deputy
Warden Charles Wagner, Usher A.
G. Heilman and wounded Cell House
keeper Doody. The three convicts
then.made their escape from the front
entrance of the penitentiary and we're
swallowed up in q blizzard.
The killing was done by convicts
Morley, Taylor and Dowd, all OF
whom we're serving sentences for bank
robbery. The trio shot Deputy War
den Wagner in his Office. Just off the
chapel, which looks out into the pri-
son yard. Doody was shot just out
side the cell house, Of which he was
keeper.
The murderers, after blowing of
the lock of the fret steel door which
leads into the public entrance Of the
prison, rushed the turnkey aud at the
point of q gun, forced him to unlock
another door, took his keys and lei
the IN selves out into the main cor
ridOr.

certain things for her comfort and
welfare, but just IS che started to
move In a band of burglars seized it.
These burglars we're the bold kind,
who wouldn't run. They didn't take
anything out of the house. They just
took the entire house and its contents.
North Dakota folks didn't have q fair
inventory of the contents. And so.
for many years, the folks of North
D akota went along as best they could
living outdoors so far as the houee of
state government was concerned.
But ten years ago, by q primary
election law, q crude one, too-about
as crude as the old horseless carriage
as compared with the 1912 automobile,
the people drove some of the burglars
out of the fronts hall. And in this
entry way battle they discovered that
the primary election laws were the
effective weapons with which to drive
the burglars out OF all the other rooms.
A. M. Christianson, an insurgent
republican,. brought out q stronger
primary plan five years later. That
drove q lot of burglars not only out
of the dining room, but also out Of
the parlor. Don't think the politicians
and big business didn't fight that bill,
Ever since the people OF North
Dakota have felt 1T home in their own
house. Servants are in the house
now, instead of burglars.
Now about the ten votes In the ma.
tional presidential conventions:
While going about her house last
winter, looking over her possessions,
North Dakota discovered these ten
votes. She hadn't noticed them be-
fore. They were hers. They were for
her people to use. And SO her SER
wants in the legislature, seeing that
she wanted them, handed them over to
her through q presidential preference
primary law.
And O the representatives of
Wilson and La Toilette, Harmon and
Taft, Roosevelt and Clark, and all
the rest, are scurrying about and
pleading with the people of North
Dakota and not paying much atten'
ton to the politicians.
On March 10 North Dakota, first of
all the states, will have the presiden-
tial primary. There are burglars in
the houses of forty other states.-Mis-

BURGLARS IN THE HOUSE.

Why are the eyes of the country on
North Dakota just now? What is 1t
that North Dakota will do that is so
exciting the country?
The people of North Dakota have
discovered that they own, like they
W their W hate, plows and homes,
votes in both the republican and dem
ocratic national conventions. Al.
though the state has owned these votes
for q long time, yet no one has ever
before made any particular fuss over
them and never before have the agents
OF presidential candidates tramped ur
and down the state pleading with the
people.
Why do they come now pleading:
Because the voters of North Dakot,
have discovered that these votes be,
long to them.

still think the national delegations o.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF cHOUTEAU COUNTY
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 70. 1912.
A TO TAFT.

One of the peculiar developments In
the political situation caused by the
candidacy Of Mr.. Roosevelt for the
republican presidential nomination,
is the attitude of democratic newspa.
pers toward the respective aspirants.
Partisan critics of the administration
have suddenly discovered that Mr..
Taft has made q better record than
they formerly claimed, the democratic
New York World, for instance, pre-
senting this review of his public ser
vices:
Never before has the Sherman anti
trust law been so vigorously enforced
as it has been since Mr.. Taft became
president. He has conducted his cam
paign against illegal combin atoms,
mol in the R~ooseveltian fashion OF in.
temperate %harangues and blood-curdl.
ing threats, but by orderly, effective
suits In the courts. The STANDARD Oil,
which Mr.. Roosevelt denounced. Mr..
Taft forced to dissolve. The steel
trust has not been received in priva ate
audience at the White house and
granted an executive license to absorb
. valuable competitor, but has been
led to the bar Of justice to defend its
existence. The Chicago beef packers
have not secured immunity through
official bungling, but are actually on
trial on crimina al indictments.
MIR. Taft took the Sherman law as
he found it, and as the executive be
has respected the law. He has not
used it for political effect or sensa-
tional purposes. He has not feared
to make enemies, nor has he exempted
great interests that 'have been so
friendly to US" from it's rigors. He
has plainly informed business men
that they must square themselves to
the necessity OF getting along with
competition and getting along without
monopoly. And the clamor of Big
Business has not budged him from
his chosen course. 81
Nowhere has Mr.. Taft shown bet
ter advantage than in his judicial ap-
pointments. Called on by circum-
stances to appoint a majority of the
members OF the United States supreme
court, including the chief justice, he
has scrupulously disregarded section.
al lines and partisan considerations
and sought only merit, to the end that
the public interest alone be served.
In no wise is it to Mr.. Taft's discredit
that reciprocity with Canada failed to
be put into effect but rather to Can.

civil service. In his efforts to restore
order In the national finances, to raise

Baltimore, June Prospects that the Democratic national convention would be organized without a fight at most reached the vanishing point to. night with the almost simultaneous issuance or statements by Governor Wilson of New Jersey sustaining w J Bryans contention for a "convea- tion of progressives,p and by Chair man Mack of the national committee that the committee would make Alton R.

 Chairman Mack's statement came a few hours after Vice Chairman Hall of Nebraska, regarded as Mir. Bryan personal representative here. insisted that Bryan would never let up on his fight against Judge Parker Mir Mack had been conferring all das with his fellow committeeman and Charles r Murphy. leader of TaHi- many Hall.

liam Howard Taft of Ohio, at 9:25 tonight was renominated for presi- dent of the United States by the re- publican national convention.
 The revolt of many of the Roose- welt delegates in the convention was open from the moment of the per 1t roll. the names of contested delegates was approved
 "Valedictory" statements was read in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt ask ing that his name be not presented and that his delegates sit in mute pro test against all further proceedings.
 A great majority of the Roosevelt delegates in Illinois and all in the Missouri and Idaho delegations de clined to follow this advice, but Col onel Roosevelt's sway over the dele gations from California, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. South Dakota and West Virginia were all but abso- lute.
 Most of the delegates from these states announced their purpose of helping to give MT Roosevelt an in- dependent nomination.
 The split in the convention occa- stoned no surprise. It was but tuF fillment of predictions that had been made during the past several days.
 The closing scenes of the conyen- ton were marked by counter demon straiions for President Taft and Col onel Roosevelt.
 The first test vote after the an nouncement of the Roosevelt valedic- tory came on the adoption of tin party nlatform. The affirmative vote was see. Roosevelt delegates present and not voting numbered S4S. There were 53 noes. S6 of them from the LaFoi- lette states of Wisconsin and North Dakota. :,
 Senator I.aFollette was placed oe- fore the convention, but Colonei Roosevelt's wishes were carried out by his followers and they remained silent during the call of the states for nomination.
 On the voting for president, the Roosevelt delegates again, as q rule remained silent. The detailed vote was: Taft 5e1 Roosevelt 107; La Toilette, Al; Cummins, IT; Hughes 2; not voting, 344; absent, 6.
 At times during the balloting the convention was in great confusion.

 They ask us to submit to infamy in the present convention that they

 President Taft received 561 Of the LOTS votes in the convention. or 21 more than majority.
 The decision of the Roosevelt peo- pie, under direction of their leader. to refrain from voting, left no other can didate near the president The an- nouncement Of the Taft victory was greeted with cheering from his adher- ents, and groans and misses from the opposition. When 1t became absolute ly certain early today that Mir Taft would be nominated without great diff. ficulty, the leaders in control of the convention decided to give him as a running mate his companion on the ticket in 1908
 All others dropped from the race and Mir Sherman was the only candi- date regularly placed before the con- ventlon A motion from New Hamp- shire to make the nomination by ac- clamation was out of order. There were many scattering votes on the roll call.
 The convention, amid much confu- sion. adjourned sine die.
 At no time was there an indication of walkout of Roosevelt delegates. They expressed their revolt in silence.
 In the confusion just before adjourn ment, a resolution was adopted giving the national committee power to de- clare vacant the seat of any man on the committee refusing to support the nominees Of the convention in 1912. Sherman's vote was 597
