Riding Down Every Obstacle
That Gets In His
Way.
\ PARTY SPLIT CERTAIN.
Opposing Sides No Longer
Speak One To The
Other.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 17-Theodore
Roosevelt is running wild on the
bases today.
He has his opponents guessing and
badly ratified. Unless they settle
down within the next twenty-four
hours, Roosevelt will be nominated
on the first ballot. Undoubtedly the
presence of the Rough Rider has in
spired his followers to deeds of dar-
ing and they are confident that the
big fight is as good as over.
The Taft men are fighting hard to
hold their advantage Hand they as
sert that they haven't lost enough
ground to hurt. 1t seems however,
that Taft is weaker in: New York
than generally believed. There are
rumors that New York will give
Roosevelt as many as thirty votes.
IL it does. then the fight is over as
the southern delegates are wobbling.
The situation here almost beggars
description if one considers it mere
ly as a political gathering. The bits
ter feeling is terrific. Neither side
will have anything to do with the
other.
The situation is gloomy one for
the presidents forces. as there have
been reports of defections from his
delegates in Georgia. Mississippi.
Virginia. New York and other states
However. these reports were dis
counted by statements issued by the
Taft side.
There is yet an effort to break IN
to the Indiana Roosevelt votes.
1t is learned definitely that the BIZ
fight will come when the temporary
roll is read Tuesday. when the
Roosevelt men will offer a substS-
tute. II it is adopted. the conyen-
tion will be over as far as the choicas
for the presidency is concerned.

PIONEERS in
| GREAT MOVE
Christian and Mason Counties
First To Try Consolidated
Schools.
BLAZING WAY OF PROGRESS
Description of The School Just
IA Established In Mason
County.
BLAZING WAY OF PROGRESS

a Inc consolidated school at Elmo IN
this county will be one of the very
first in Kentucky. One other county
id the state is ahead of Christian in
this movement. Mason county a
shoit while ago dedicated S92. 900
rural schoolhouse at Mayslick, and
a9other school of similar character is
being established at Minerva.
John B. McFerran, chairman of
the Educational Committee of the
Louisville Commercial Club, and
leader in the Statewide campaign
for better schools, was one Of the
guests of the Mason country school
patrons at function" in their new
schoolhouse few days ago. On his
return from Mayslick he described
his visit as one of the memorable ,oc-
casions of his life.
Il saw far and away the best coun-
t y schoolhouse that l have yet found
in Kentucky" said Mr.. McFerran.
: In fact, when looked at that splen-
did building situated on a beautiful
plot of ten acres of ground l thought
for mcment | was in Northern
Indiana. When on a rainy night ]
saw the large auditorium crowded
until there was not standing room,
with even the halls we'll filled, my
heart was rejoiced beyond measure,
for here was a rural school and q
school spirit among the people.
The building is up-to-date in
heating and ventilation, and pro.
vision has been made in the plan for
instruction in agriculture, manual
training and domestic science. The
school is running seven wagons, and
it will have to add two more with
the coming term.
This is not all of the activity in
school matters in Mason county.
They are adding another school of
high character at NJ n rva There
is great school spirit in this dis
trict. Patrons from adjoining dis.
tricts formed stock company and
purchased a wagon to transport
their children to this high school.
The wagon route is eleven miles long
Some of the pupils therefore ride
twenty-five miles to get to and from
school. OF course this route is toe
long. but it demonstrates the grit OF
the people and their childre n.
Where there's will there's a way.
The great progress in Mason
county schools is largely due to the
sensible activities of the county sup
erintendent. Miss Jessie o. Yancey,
She does not know how to quit. and
she has fortunately been most ably
assisted by wide-awake and capable
business men and first class citizens
Consolidated schools have been
tri-d with great success in other
states aud an experiment will make
them popular in Kentucky. The
first rural free delivery route was
tried as an experiment in Carroll
County. Md, few years ago. Now
every progressive community feels
that it must have free delivery,
Christian county already has many
good roads and others will follow tC
meet the demands.
All honor to the educational pio'
neers VINO have blazed the way in
Western Kentucky. In this as in
other matters Christian county will
be looked to as a leader and it vii

Helmet Of Colonel.

Chicago, H.. June 17.-Another
day of caucuses. conferences and
counting OF delegates brought no So
luton to the presidential tangle con-
fronting the Republican national
convention. The total of contests
passed upon was 254. Of these Taft
was given 235 and Roosevelt 10. In
Texas and California Taft was con-
testing and his 26 delegates in Texas
and 2 in California we're seated. SEEM
ingly without good cause.
During Sunday the city rang with
rumors that break had come and
that a stampede of southern dele
gates to Col. Roosevelt had begun.
The Roosevelt headquarters made
public letters bearing the names of
five delegates from Georgia and five
from Mississippi heretofore counted
solidly in the Taft column. declar-
ing themselves for Colonel Roose-
velt as the only hope of the party.
Earlier in the day Timothy Wood
ruff, of New York. announced that
he had given Col. Roosevelt assur-
ance of his support.
These statements for time threw
the Taft headquarters into some
thing of panic. Members of the
Geogia and Mississippi delegations
hastily summoned and there was a
return of composure when it was
learned that four of the five Georgia
delegates who had supposedly signed
the letter to Col. Roosevelt had not
vet reached the city. Later the Taft
headquarters claimed to have tele-
gram from these delegates denying
that they had deserted the President.
L. R. Moseley. national committee
man from Mississippi and chairman
of the state delegation, declared
that two delegates from that state
had been expected to disregard their
instructions and vote for Col. Roose-
velt. He did not believe any more
would change.
TWO OBJECTIONS.
After these conferences the Taft
managers issued statement deny
ing the Roosevelt claims of acces
sions and asserting that only Charles
Banks one Of the negro delegates
from Mississippi. and Timothy Wood
ruff, of Brooklyn. had deserted to
the Colonel.
Senator Dixon. the Roosevelt cam
paign manager. was jubilant over
the days events.
We've got them coming" he ex-
claimed. I'VE have lots more of
them p tell you about. but We don't
want TOO much excitement in one
day. Tomorrow we will give you
more news of Taft delegates coming
over to our side"
''The situation to nights absolute
ly unchanged" said Mr.. Mckinley,
director Of the Taft headquarters.
"Mr. Roosevelt has been sending for
delegates who are opposed to his
nomination and has endeavored to
persuade them to come over to his
standard. This work has been a
failure. although claims have been
made all day to the contrary"
Colonel Roosevelt spent happy
day in the midst of the turmoil Of
the approaching convention. He
went to church during the morning.
took a motor ride during the after
noon and up to late hour at night
was holding council Of war" with
his general staff" Of advisers and
sllnnorters.
