Talk about expanding money for the
Improvement Of roads. A dispatch
from Winnipeg is to the effect that
Mayor Waugh Of that city will negoti-
ate loan Of 81, 600. 900 in London to
be expended on roads in Manitoba.
In Massachusetts a special appropri-
alton of $4,000, 900 will be expended
on state highways this year. Yet
there are some people who pretend to
believe that Minnesota cannot afford
to expend the revenue one-mill tax
will produce, about 81, 200, 900, yearly
on our public highways.

Roosevelt is now an announced
candidate for the republican nomina.
ton for the presidency. He is popular
in the northwest, where he has many
ardent admirers, people who love him
for his own sake. He will also have
the support of the trimmers, man
pleasers and time servers, not because
they have any love for him or the
policies he advocates, but because
they believe he is winner and they
want to be on the winning. Unless
the democrats blunder Roosevelt's
candidacy means victory for them,
nationally, at the polls in November.

Example Better Than Precept.

John Wesley. accompanied by one of
his preachers. was once dining at the
house of a rich Methodist. The tables
were spread with liberal meal, but
Wesley's companion no sooner saw it
than he said:
es"Oh, sir. what a sumptuous dinner!
Things are very different from what
they once were. l fear there is but
little self denial among Methodists in
these days"
my brother said Wesley, pointing
to the table. "there is a fine opportu-
nifty for self denial now.'

Duke did it's work. -.

PROGRESSIVE VICTORY.

Last Saturday the progressive re-
publicans OF Fergus county carried
nearly all the precincts in the cleo
ton of delegates to the county con-
vention, thus assuring rs delegates
favorable to Roosevelt to the state
convention at Livingston on May
10th.
Word from Helena is to the effect
that "returns coming in from coun-
ties throughout the state indicate,
beyond doubt, that the Roosevelt
forces will have clear majority of
uucOntested delegates and thus con-
troll the Livingston convention.
The action Of the republican state
central committee in passing resolu-

TOOLEY MAKES A STATEMENT.

State Senator c. p. Tooley, who
promised Lanstrum and NARROW, of
Helena, the republican representa-
tives Of the Amalgamated Copper
Co., to deliver Meagher county's
delegates to the Livingston conven-
ton to Taft, has sent out notices
justifying the action of the rump
committee in appointing these dele
gates. He states that no undue adj
vantage was taken.
Let us see.
The regular committee consists Of
10 members. Five of these were
present. They were there under the
call to set Il date for holding a county
convention to select these delegates,
and to make IN apportionment OF
delegates from each precinct. Under
the call sent out by the chairman that
is the only business legally that could
be transacted.
What happened?
The political boss Of Meagher coun-
"
the committee for what purpose?
Presumably to help set a date for
holding county convention to elect
delegates. That is what the absent
committeeman had right to suppose
was to- be done. Does anyone sup
pose that ii Mr.. ToOley had asked for
those proxies for the purpose Of elect
ing these delegates that he could
have gotten them? Well. hardly.
The lnfairness in the transaction
fas the disarming OF the progressive
committeeman by the call sent out by
the chairman. No hint was given
that the committee contemplated
naming these delegates or others who
were present at the meeting could
have gotten proxies also.
The nnfarness in the deal is also
further acentuated by the fact that
Meagher county is strongly progress
sive in both parties if the people were
given chance to vote on the question
Of preferences for president. Mr..
Tooley will discover this II he comes
up for office in the future.
Mr.. Tooley had 10 right on that
committee through proxies secured
under misapprehension, to call it Il
no stronger term.
Twodot had no right to be repre-
scented by four votes Oh that commit
tee, and White Sulphur Springs with
five votes, because each precinct is
allowed but one member Of the com
mittee, and because TWodot and
White Sulphur Springs republicans
do not represent the presidential
preference Of the republican voters
of the county as whole. Those two
towns had no right to deprive the re-
publican party OF the county an OPP
portnnity to express their preferences
for president.
