Bismarck Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 25-The de.
velopments of the past few days have
amply verified the predictions in those
dispatches of the weakness of Theo'
dore Roosevelt in the so.called pro-
gressive states, the reserve strength
of Robert LaFollette in the same
states, and the practically unlimited
strength of William. Howard Taft in
almost all of the states of the Union.
The bombastic claim of a "clean
sweep of the whole country" by the
Roosevelt boosters have thus far
panned out with miserable list of
IS delegates, and a swarm Of con
gested delegations" which are to be
fixed up for the national republican
committee to settle later on. Where
LaFollette asserted that his friends
were most potential and his "princi-
pies most heartily favored the tale
Of the primaries has amply verified
his statements; yet his force Of dele
gates to the national convention Is not
by any means as large and imposr
ing as he and his loyal lieutenants
would like to see arrayed behind his
banner.
Facing the stern facts as they have
shown themselves to unprejudiced
minds the actual situation of the
Taft condition can be told In figures
SO plain and so simple that no pos.
sible doubt is left of the utter defeat
and collapse Of the Roosevelt boom,
of the healthy elimination of the ,Roos.
evelt hysteria 80 carefully nurtured
and 90 heavily ibSnked on by the group
Of king making governors" with the
financial aid behind them Of such
wealthy and highrminded men az
Meddill Mccormick, Clifford Pinchot
George w. Perkins, and William Kent
These figures are presented as the
selection already made by the several
states and Of those that have YET
to be chosen, the latter being given
In a most conservative allowance fol
scarcely probable changes in the &C
credited personnel of the delegates.

statue of each state In the Electoral
College, the delegates allowed to eacf

and present as my own conservative
and unbiased estimate: .s.--.-

4 Great Painter Who Was Net Above
Earning an Honest Quarter.
Wlnslow Homer was Il great painter
who had the unusual good fortune to
have his merit appreciated early In life.
But no one ever presumed less on a
wide reputation. Affectation was a
weakness from which his sense of hui.
NOR saved him. "
In his biography by Mr.. W. 81. Downs
b printed the story Of a New York
gentleman Of wealth and artistic tastes
who made the journey to Scarboro. Me-.
where Homer had his studio. to make
the artists acquaintance.
On his arrival lie found the studio
door locked; the owner was nowhere to
be seen. He wandered about the cliffs
for awhile until he met man in a
rough old suit OF clothes. rubber boots
and a battered felt hat. who carried a
fshpole. He accosted the fisherman
thus:
"4Say. my man. If you can tell me
where I can find Winslow Homer l
have quarter for you
Where's your quarter" said the
fisherman.
He handed 1t over and was astound-
ed to hear the quizzical Yankee fisher
man say. 81 am, Winslow Homer"
The sequel Of this unusual introduc-
ton was that Homer took his new ac-
quaintance back to the studio. enter
tanned him. and before he left sold him

who smelled smoke had become power
les.-
Watson, BY virtue of his position
under Dolley. examined and passed on
the affairs of competitive building and
loan associations and his intimacy
with the Aetna soon aroused trouble
among opposition institutions. Yet
DOlley did not interfere. He smiled
and issued staten ents to the effect
that everything was running smoothly
and permitted Watson to draw $4,000
a year from the state for examining
building and loan associations, while
the records show that he drew 500
a month as director of the Aetna,
until November last year, when his
check dropped to $50 a month.
Stockholders Are Interested.
A storm began to appear on the
horizon and a call was issued for a
special meeting Of the stockh olders to
be held in Topeka, October 25- The
motive behind the move was to weed
out certain mem bers of the board and
to determine who really dictated the
policies of the Aetna.
When the call was issued, Dolley
and his crowd are said to have made
a wild scram BILE for proxies. Their
efforts were by no means fruitless.
The Dolley faction collected the bulk
of the proxies and when the NEE
was held, something happened that
was not on the regular program.
Before the date of the meeting hun
dreds of dollars of the associations
money it is charged, were spent in
postage and literature by the men to
be deposed. These circulars were
laudatory of the officials in the dis
charge of their duties and condemna-

to reorganize the board The letters
went to practically all of the 5000

vote the absent stock.
Records Are Guarded.
The insurgents found themselves at
a decided disadvantage. The officials
had charge Of the books and records
and guarded them with watchful
eve. The working force of the office
is said to have been kept busy mailing
this literature. When the bills were
presented, they were paid and prompt
ly charged to the account of the asSo-
