Chicago. June 11.-Roosevelt leaders
tonight announced details OF a mass
meeting for Friday afternoon, which
VIII be staged at Chicago's largest
theatre as a spectacular preliminary
to the opening of the Republican Ma
ttonal Convention next Tuesday. Con-
gresham William Kent. OF California,
VINO made the announcement of the
proposed demonstration. said that the
principal addresses at the meeting
would be delivered by Judge Ben b.
Lindsey, of Denver, and Attorney
Francis j. Heney. of California. ALSO
1t is probable that Governor johnson.
of California. and Governor Stubs. Of
Kansas. will speak.
Developments to-day indicated that
the iSht between the Taft and Roose-
Welt forces in the sessions of the ma :
tional committee for contested seats
was almost equaied by the "gumshoe"
campaign being made for delegates
listed in the uninstruoted column
Both sides, 1t was learned. had de-
cided to attempt to get a possible bal
ance of power through this source
Although many OF the uninstructed
delegates already have been pledged
by State leaders either to Taft or
Roosevelt. campaign managers private
ly have expressed ability to secure a
block of fifty or more for their can
didate. In case the decisions by the
national committee in tine contest cases
send President Taft and Colonel Roose-
Welt into the convention on practical
" an even basis. the uninstructed men
may determine the final outcome of
the light IT is argued.
Mccormick in Charge
X. II Mccormick. OF Chicago was
to-day named by William Finn. Of

culture in our rural and other schools
Ias one Of the most imp ortant agencies
for improving farming methods and
giving the generation that is to follow,
q love for and interest in the one pre-
eminently important occupation OF the
population Of our region and state.
Is We strongly endorse the work Of
the Better Farming Association Of
North Dakota and recommend that ey-
cry county in the Region will endeavor
to raise the necessary funds to avail
themselves Of the liberal offer made by
this organization, and as there seems
to be question as to the authority Of
county boards to appropriate money
FLOR this purpose, we would respectively
recommend to our next Legislature to
provide the necessary legislation for
this purpose. .s..sls "
We.would further recommend to the
next legislature Of North Dakota that
the necessary appropriation be made
for the maintenance Of an efficient far
jmers institute service. 81
