OFFICIAL PAPER OF cHoUTEAU COUNTY

ROOSEVELT.

AoOy w
% to the propriety of the action OF
Mr.. Roosevelt in seeking the republic
can presidential nomination, but there
must be general agreement that bis
ability to attract votes is superior to
that of any other candidate in the
field. The extent Of the support re-
ceived by the colonel at republican
primaries held the past few weeks is a
surprise to many of his friends, and
is causing confusion and consterna
ton among hissopponents.
The success of Mr.. Roosevelt's ap-
peal to the voters is most remarkable,
considering the influences and agencies
at the command of the opposition. In
most of the states all the OF
local political machines have been
used against him; nearly ell of the
metropolitan newspapers have op-
posed his candidacy by editorial
criticism and by cartoon, and publica'
lions of more limited influence have
assisted in the movement to discredit
the colonel among the voters. But
these efforts appear to have had an
effect contrary to theIpurpose intend.
ed; the work of these agencies was
resented by the republican electorate,
whose verdict of condemn alton was
expressed by the election OF Roosevelt

convention.
In twelve states in which delegates
we're chosen at primaries, the Roose-
welt score was about 1852, while the
successful Taft delegates numbered
only 48. Such an exhibit-whether

Startling Going South.

Reports received at the department

starting, whose progress in this coun-
try has been watched with some un-
easiness, has got as far south as New.

This is one of the imported birds
that 1t is feared will rank with the
English sparrow as pest. 1t does
no particular harm in England. but II
was introduced into Australia a num-
Der of years ago and there 1t has been
a serious menace TO the wheat crop.
Its only redeeming feature is that it
is a much larger bird than the English

easier to handle. The birds were
started in this country in New Eng.

several seasons they seemingly were
stationary in the latitude of PhiladeE
