TAFT GAINING IN RED WILLOW
Sentiment in Favor Of President is
Growing Rapidly.
ROOSEVELT MEN WAKING UP
supporters Of Former President See
He Cannot BE Nominated and Are
Lining Up to support Taft
In November.

MCooK. Neb.. April L-tspecial)-
There never was a more favorable out
look for crop conditions than there Is
here in Red Willow county today. The
average farmer or business man warns
right up when you speak OF crops. but
when politics is mentioned he appears to
be not so deeply interested,
Taft sentiment has grown rapidly in
western NehrasksA during the last few
weeks and is gaining ground every day.
In talk with A. Galusha, for two terms
secretary OF state until 1905, but now IN
the clothing business here, he said "Wil.
liam Howard Taft has given us one of
the best business administrations we have
ever had lie has been consistent in
working for the masses as against the
classes. and that is one reason why you
will find so many good, sound business
men Interested in his denomination and
reelection"
Taft Has Earned Another Term.
william NJ. Wood. road foreman OF Ell
gines for the Burlington system, says
that fully tour-nfths Of the railroad men
here are enthusiastic supporters Of Pres
ident Taft. Mr. Wood has lived In Me-
Cook twenty-six years. He was always
a warm admirer of Roosevelt, but Is
against him now because he thinks Taft
has earned another term II any president
ever did.
Taft has given us the best admins
tration OF any president within my knowl-
edge" declared oscar Russell, real
estate dealer who has lived here for
nearly forty years. r.
Isaac NJ Shepard, an old soldier In
East McGook, said: Il am for the re
publican nominee, and will gladly sup
port President Taft at the polls"
+. NJ. Kimball. editor Of the McCook
Tribune, has been supporting Roosevelt.
but he says: II feel that Taft will be
renominated, and | advise all loyal re-
publicans to get in line when the time
comes and be in a position to assist in
his reelection"

LINCOLN, Apr1I.4-(Speeial TeleGram.)
Evidently d populist endorsement is
proving embarrassing to Woodrow Wilson
in his hmpaign for the democratic
nomination for the presidency. as he has
written Secretary Of State Wait request
ins that his name be withdrawn from the
Nebraska preferential ballot as a populist.
1t is suggested that Mr.. Wilson's trouble
in this regard IS in the east, as democrats
and populists have fused so often in
Nebraska that II is considered the proper
thine, instead OF causing any adverse
comment. In the east, however, Il Is
different. and the fact he is running on
populist ticket goes down with as
much relish as dose of ipicac and
comes up about as readily.
Secretary Wait says he will write at
once to the various county clerks and
inform them Of Mr.. Wilson'S request
but in cases where the ballot is being
printed there is no assurance the name
can be taken Off. Following is the letter
OF Mr.. Wilson:
TRENTON, n. j., April 1.-The Secre-
tary OF State, Lincoln. Neb.: Dear Sir-I
am informed that someone has filed my
name on the primary ballot as a candi-
date OF the pOpulist party In Nebraska.

the authorization OF those gentlemen
who are in charge of my interests ia your
state. While ] am grateful for the honor
thus conferred On me. | feel that I must
do as my friends wish, and so request
you TO kindly withdraw my name fri m
the ballot Of the popullst party. Cordially
yours, WOODROW WILSON.

"SINBAD" IS PAROLED.

St. Paul, Sept. 21.-"Sinbad the
Sailor" veteran gardener at the state
prison, has been granted parole again
and in a few days he will be given
employment outside the stone walls
behind which he has spent so many
years. Bent with age and without
relatives, the old gardener wants to
end his days a free man, and if his
conduct during the coming eighteen
months is good, he will be entitled to
freedom.
"Sinbad," or John Price, as he is
booked, killed man in North ST.
Paul a quarter of a century ago. He
was sentenced to Imprisonment for
life. In the prison gardens he made
some wonderful advances in culture
of fruit and earned local reputation
as a "Burbank" Two years ago "Sin-
bad'' was paroled and found employ
ment at the home of business man
in St. Paul. He could not stand the
possibilities of freedom, however, and
during the absence of his employer,
held an orgie in the home one night,
while at other times he fell to drink
ing, which resulted in his return to
Saltwater.

[G HARVEST ASSURED.
CONTINUED from first pagel

weeks of September. Corn is now
out of all danger from frost.
"The grains are rapidly vending
their course to the granaries and
market. The hay crop is one Of the
best in years and fall pastures are
fit to feed twice the amount of live
stock available to make use of them.
"The heavy fruit crop of 1911 led
one to think that the crop of 1912
would be hardly worthy of mention.
The fruit harvest, however, has been
very happy surprise. Minnesota
and Wisconsin, where frosts as a
rule appear early, are still safe in the
fruit belt. In fact, this years re-
suits have indicate new fruit areas
in the Northwest. =
Concluding, Mr.. Bull said:
Nothing short of the highest de-
gree of optimism can follow the har-
vest of 1912 in the Northwest. A
full dinner pail-a comfortable home
steady trade in all lines, and a con-
servative eye to the future, should
now occupy our minds. It is not al
ways that we harvest a bumper crop.
But we should not rest on this one.
Next years results are not yet en-
byronic. They now demand our best
endeavor."

ULSTER'S COVENANT

Belfact, Sept. al A step that
many persons believe will bring about
a crisis in Irish affairs is to be taken
here next Monday, when delegates
of the Ulster Unionist Council will
meet to decide upon the actual terms
of the solemn covenant to which all
loyal FISHERMEN are expected to
pledge themselves one week from to-
day.
Stories of an armed rising, of the
seizure of the Belfast post Office, and
the like, have gained great currency
as the date for the proclamation of
the covenant approached, but all
well-informed persons agree that the
circulation of such stories has been
for political effect only.
Tumult may follow the signing of
the covenant, but according to the
best authorities obtainable it is not
the design of the leaders of the move
ment to provoke disorder. The sign
ers of the covenant will simply pledge
themselves, if a Home Rule bill be-
comes law, not to acknowledge the
parliament in Dublin, not to obey it's
laws, and to pay no taxes to it.
1t is expected that the Privy Coun-
cillors will first sign the covenant,
and that the covenanters who take
the pledge will number from one
half to three-quarters of million.
The women of Ulster as we'll as the
men will be associated with the agree
ment A special pledge has been
framed whereby the women under
take to ''stand by our men folk in
carrying out the solemn league and
covenant pledging uncompromising
opposition to the present conspiracy
whereby it is proposed to drive Ul-
ster out of it's cherished place in the
constitution of the United Kingdom
