In the Fifth Arkansas the question
was one OF the identity Of one faction
or the other as the Republican party.
This convention followed the example
Of the convention OF 1908 In holding
that what was known as the Redding
faction was not the Republican party.

Fourth District.


The Fourth California presented this
question: Under the state law the dele
CATION. two from each district, was
elected on a general ticket, in a group
Of twenty.sx. Each delegate might
either express his presidential prefer
ence or agree to vote for the preslden-
tial candidate receiving the highest
number in the state. In the Fourth
district the two candidates from that
district on the Taft ticket expressed
preference for Taft, but did not
agree to vote for the candidates hav-
ing the highest state vote. These Taft
delegates in the Fourth district re-
ceived majority of 200 more than
the Roosevelt delegates in that dis
trict The national call forbade any
law or the acceptance OF any law
which prevented the election of dele
gates by districts. In other words, the
call of the national convention was at
variance with the state law. The state
law sought to enforce the state unit

the state. assigning two to each dis
trlct on the ticket to abide the state
wide election, while the Republican
national convention has insisted upon
the unit of the district since 1880. That
has been the party law. This conVen-
ton recognized the party law and held
Il to be more binding than that OF the
, state law and allowed the two dele
gates who had received In the Fourth
district a vote larger than their two
opponents assigned to that district, 10

This was clearly lawful, for state has
no power to limit or control the basis

The fact that President Taft by tele'

an estoppel against his claiming the
election of two OF those delegates In
their Fourth district. What Is there
inconsistent in his approving the can.

some contests, and the sttae commit

OF the work will be in what is know as
the Campbell drift. This is drift that
II run off from No. 3 tunnel, and is fol.
lowing good grade of ore. Mr.. Me-
Knight was formerly manager of the
company, but was compelled to resign
on account of his health. Thos. Priteh-
ard, who has been foreman. is now SUI
perintendent in charge of the work.
The Majestic is well equipped with
air drills, and large amount of work
has been done. The property is large
low grade proposition and some very
good ore has been exposed. 1t is on
one of these ore bodies that the work
is now being done.
The mill on the Mascot is now run
ming very smoothly, and the values be-
ing saved are very satisfactory. The
ore is well adapted Tor a Huntington
mill, and is easily handled. A concen-
trating table will be put in this week,
when it is expected that a very large
percentage of the values will be saved,
that are now going off in the tailings.
AT the mine there is an abundance of
ore near the surface that is easily
mined, and this will be taken out be-
fore any attempt will be made to mine
deeper. The mill is being enclosed,
and everything is being made ready to
run all winter, as it is not expected
that the water will give any trouble.
The sinking of the shaft on the Col
onel Sellers claim of the Mineral Zone
group, has now reached the second lew
ell and station is being cut. The shaft
will be sunk about 80 feet below the
station for sump and ore pocket. The
east drift on the first level has been
driven 100 feet, all in good ore, and a
large quantity of ore has been stopped
and milled. The stope is full of ore
that has been broken, and is being
drawn and taken to the mill as re-
quired. Very little work has been done
in the west drift, and Manager Austin
states that as soon as the second level
is opened drifts will be run both east
and west. The mill is running steadily
and the results are satisfactory. The
mine is now in very healthy condi-
ton, and has plenty of ore in sight to
run for some time. All the necessary
buildings have been erected and every
thing is made ready for the winter.

why NOT ELECT
WOODROW WILSON
Chicago Post, influential Repub.
lican Paper, Asks Its Read
ers a Leading Question.
FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME
says the Tariff Has Been Too High
for a Generation, and Must Be Low
cred.

The Chicago Post, an influential in.
dependent Republican newspaper. pro-
pounds this question to Republicans:
why not Wilson?
This question is addressed particu-
larly to Republicans
Governor Wilson suits the Demo-
Gratis down to the ground, suits all
Democrats who are worthy to be call
ed Democrats. But in an emergency
like this. why should not Wilson suit
a large part Of the Republicans as
we'll?
Why not Wilson?
Governor Wilson Is a thoroughbred
American gentleman, not only in the
accident of birth. but in his every
ideal, impulse and principle. That
should be the first requirement of ev-
cry presidential candidate.
Governor Wilson is a tried and
Trustworthy executive. His brilliant
record as governor of New Jersey
proves that.
Governor Wilson is an eminently
sane and sensible man. He is an emf
nently honorable man. He has digni.
fled every place which he has held
He has performed a splendid public
service by lifting the present cam
paign out of the riot of mudslinging
with which Roosevelt began it.
I'm every personal characteristic,
Governor Wilson Is equipped to be
any mans president, without regard
to whether that man Is a Democrat or
a Republican. What. then, of his po-
litical qualifications?
Governor Wilson is, and always has
been, sensible Democrat, but he Is
not and never has been a silly. violent
partisan.
Governor Wilson stands for honesty
and efficiency in federal administra-
ton. So do all save those who profit
by graft and inefficiency.
Governor Wilson stands for the
curbing Of trusts and monopolies. So
do all, except monopolists and their de-
fender, Theodore Roosevelt.
Governor Wilson stands for q
prompt and steady downward revision
Of the tariff. So do nine-tenths of the
people of the United States.
Governor Wilson believes in q more
radical tariff revision than do a large
Of the rank and file Of Re-
publicans But Governor Wilson Is
the only candidate who II elected will
permit the revision of the tariff at all.
THE tariff has been to high for a
generation. Is 1t not better to take
chance at getting It too low-according
to Republican Standardization to let
the known frauds of the present re-
gime continue for another four years
TO rob the public?
Why not Wilson? He will give an
honest, dignified, capable admins
ration. He will respect the constitu-
ion. He will see that the tariff is re-
fised downward He will curb trusts.
He will serve the people.
