friends claim $50 votes. Others in the
presidents camp claim $50 votes. Col
onel Roosevelt has but 470 votes. Sen
ator La Toilette has thirty-six, the
votes Of Wisconsin and North Dakota,
and Senator Cummins has ten from
the state of Iowa.
Says T. r. Is Beaten.
According to the report presented to
the convention, there are seventy-two
delegates whose seats are to be re-
viewed by the committee on creden-
tials. 1t is the firm belief of those di-
rectly interested in the elimination of
this convention that by the time the
committee on credentials submits its
report to the convention it may be
very difficult to nominate the president
on the first ballot. Furthermore, 1t
may be still more difficult to nominate
him on the second ballot.
The La Toilette men will not go to
him, and neither will the Cummins
men. and if the credentials committee
decide to overturn the recommenda-
tions of the national committee con-
cerning any part Of those seventy-two
seats in dispute that decision would
be in Roosevelt's favor. The decisions.
however, would not be sufficient, it Is
declared. to bring about Roosevelt's
nomination. OF one thing the Taft
men are certain, 1t is the defeat Of
Roosevelt as the candidate of this con-
ventiOn.
Taft Men Score Again.
Chicago, June 2O-The arguments for
and against the motion of Governor
Hadley of Missouri to strike from the
temporary roll as prepared by the ma
tional committee the delegates whose
seats were contested before the COM
mittee to the number of some seventy
eight and to put in their places on the
roll the contestants was begun as soon
as the convention had been called to
order by Senator Root Mr.. Root
stated that through an agreement of
Governor Hadley and Representative
Watson of Indiana each side would
have an hour and half to present its
case. Governor Hadley was the first
speaker.
Former Congressman Watson moved
to refer the Hadley motion to the com
mittee on credentials.
Governor Deneen of Illinois moved
an amendment to Watson's motion that
no delegate whose status was in ques-
ton should be allowed to vote in the
selection Of the members of the COM
mittee on credentials or on the report
of that committee. This amendment
was in the interests of the Roosevelt
contingent.
Mr.. Watson then moved to table the
Deneen amendment. This brought the
whole matter fairly and squarely
before the convention. If Deneen's
amendment was tabled 1t meant a de-
feat for the Roosevelt contingent.
If Deneen's amendment was not
tabled it meant that the Roosevelt con
tingent had won their main contention
1t meant that none of the contested
delegates could vote, and 1t meant ulti-
mately a clear cut majority in the con
vention for the Roosevelt men.
Deneen's amendment was tabled by a
vote of 5G3 to so. The convention
then adjourned till noon today.

GRAND FORKS Man
JUST MISSED DEATH

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. TIL. X.
Geist had a narrow escape yesterday
afternoon on North Third street when
the big team of horses owned by the
Hotel Dacotah literally ran him down
as he was driving his automobile
truck. Mr.. Geist steered his machine
into hydrant in an effort to get out of
the way of the horses which by that
time had become Infatuated with pain
and, was thrown out of the automobile.
He struck on his shoulder and side.
Fortunately he suffered no more Sc
rious injuries than a severe shaking
up,
The accident was one Of the
strongest that has happened in Grand
Forks for some time. Mr.. Geist was
driving the automobile truck owned by
the company Of which he is the head
and was coming south on Third street.
The truck Is provided with the usual
box similar to that on a delivery
wagon. AS he came up the street Mr..
Geist noticed the team Of black horses
hitched TO q delivery sled standing in
front OF a house several doors north
of the wooden mills. Approaching
closer he noticed the horses and at the
same time his attention was called 20
the fact that the horses were Y
Accordingly he slowed down his ma
chine unit! he passed them and then
Increased his speed. What was his
horror to glance around 8 moment
later and see that the horses had
turned and were running wild almost
up to thes automobile. The heavy
hitching weight did not interfere with
their inclination to run an6 they came
on with increased speed. One of the
horses was on the rear truck when
Mr.. Geist tried to turn in on the side-
walk to escape. He struck q hydrant.
was thrown forward and scrambled
out of the way.
When he turned to look, both horses
were on top OF the delivery truck and
one of them had fallen in such a way
that the team could make no further
progress. A crowd OF men Quickly
gathered and the horses were extricat-
ed. One OF the horses was badly hurt
as a result OF the runaway.
The automobile truck presents a
strange appearance. The box was
practically converted into kindling
wood and only the gas tank and steer
ing apparatus is left. In speaking Of
the accident Mr.. Geist said that he
was confident that the only thing that
saved him from death or at least se-
rious injury was the hydrant. The
shock Of hitting the obstruction lit
orally threw him out OF the way Of
the iafuriated horses, The team ia a
splendid pair OF big blacks and had
never before shown an inclination to
run away.

The Memphremagog Cow Testing AS
sociation.

This Cow Testing association proved
itself of value Saturday at H. G.. Goss'
auction in 1rasburg. The records of
each cow were read before the animal
was bid off and intense interest was
snown by all who attended and es-
pecially by those who were there to
purchase. The owner was asked how
much his COWS would average to sell
for and when all were sold they aver
aged seven dollars more than he set
the price Of course the testing did
not do all of this and it does not want
all the credit but many who attended
said that it made a great difference
with the selling price. This is only
one advantage of the testing. The op
orator of this association goes into six
different towns to test five hundred
cows and next year they want to form
two or three associations where this
one now is. It is up to the owners of
dairys to look into the matter and
think it over. The association holds
its first meeting at Coventry Saturday
and it is hoped that the members will
cooperate and buy grain and thus cut
expenses and get more profit.
