POLITICS DAY BY DAY
Taft Needs But 70. Says Mckinley.

Director Mckinley of the Taft bureau
has this to say on the political outlook:
THE outcome Of the primary in Massa-
chusetts has put into President Tafts
column at the Chicago convention an
other great republican state, which now
takes its place along with New Hamp-
shire. Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, New York. Indiana, Michigan,
Iowa. Colorado and Nevada in favor of
the renominat ton and reelection of Taft.
Rv gaining twenty-six delegates in
Massachusetts President Tafts total
number of delegates is raised to 461. not
including Arkansas, with eighteen and
Nevada with six, both ready TO act. he
now lacks only seventy-nine votes OF an
actual majority in the Chicago cohVen-
ton, still leaving out Nevada, Arkansas
and one district in New Hampshire.
There remain yet to act the great re-
Minnesota. South Dakota, Idaho. Mon
tana, Wyoming. Utah. Arizona, CAN.
fornia and Washington, in every one OF
which President Taft will increase his
lead over Mr. Roosevelt
In addition Maryland, North caro-
lima. Alabama. Tennessee. Louisiana,
Texas and Arkansas also have substan-
tial contributions to make TO the Ia1t
column. and the President cannon ran Oh
an actual majority of more than loo deie-
gates at Chicago.
las has been repeatedly indicated IN
these reports President Taft will have
an actual majority at Chicago OF the re-
publican delegates from the east tne
west and from the south, and ne VIII
have an actual majority of all instructed
delegates and large majority of all I'M
instructed delegates for his renomna-
ton"

Pennsylvania -seventy-six delegates i
the national convention.


After two conferences yesterday after
noon the eight Roosevelt delegates at
large elected at the primaries in Massa-
chusetts Monday to the Chicago conven-
ton decided not to take any joint action
on the attitude adopted by Col. Roosevelt
In releasing them from obligation to vote
for him, but to have each delegate free
TO act as he sees fit.
In view of the expressed personal sem
timent of the delegates at large, 1t is
believed that all eight will vote for Col.
Roosevelt.
Before the second conference was held
Charles S. Baxter. who heads the dele
cation. said he had always been a Roose-
welt man. was elected as a Roosevelt
man and expected to continue a Roose-
Welt supporter. Arthur L. Mason and
George w. Coleman declared they would
absolutely refuse to abide by any such
requests as that made by Col. Roose-
Welt" James p. Magonis took the position
that he had been elected as a Roosevelt
delegate and he could see no way of
evading the direction" The remaining
delegates expressed themselves similarly.
This leaves the states delegation of
thirty-six equally divided between Taft
and Roosevelt.
Practically complete returns give these
figures: Preferential vote, Roosevelt,
Vote for delegates at large: Baxter
(heading Roosevelt group, 74,121; Crane
lheading Taft group. 65,S16.

Underwood Wins in Georgia.

Oscar Underwood won in the Georgia
preferential primaries yesterday. Re-
turns from 113 counties show that in 81
Underwood has a majority over Wilson of
11,535 while in % counties Wilson gets
a majority over Underwood of 3.4s2 In
five or six counties heard from the vote
is so close that an official count will be
necessary to decide the winner.
Reports of the result in Florida indicate
that Underwood also carried that state
over Wilson 1t is claimed his majority
will be 1000 to 1900
Wilson showed exceptional strength in
the third congressional district Pensa-
cola), where the incomplete returns indl-
cate he will receive a majority over In
derwood of about 1000. Nothing like
definite figures will be obtainable until
probably Thursday night.

SHORTY AGAIN.
This Time He Hands It to q Land
Shark"

Going Through With Alec" is the title
of one of Sewell Fords Shorty McCabe
stories that appears in our next Sunday
Magazine. In all probability, according
to majority of our readers, 1t will be
considered among the best Shorty tales
we have printed. Alec had been victim
lied by an exceedingly clever promoter
of worthless tract in Florida, who was
selling town lots where purchasers OF
acreage would have been skinned
After he bad spent all the money he
had and could raise-wfth the result that
he lost ne of his children through lack
of nourfshment and unwholesome sur
roundings, and depleted his own health
and that of his wife-the victim came
back to the man who had rescued him
from poverty-and was received as a
tramp would be. This was the time for
Shorty to appear on the scene-which he
did, with disastrous result for the man
who kicked him off the place. The story
has never had a superior among the
scores Of Shorty tales we have pub
lished.

Druggists Approve Presidents
Recommendation Relating to
Food and Drugs Act.

Thirty thousand druggists. comprising
the National Association Of Retail Drug
gists. have announced that they will sup
port President Taft's recommendation to
Congress that the pure food and drugs
act be SO amended that all misrepresenta-
tons Of food and drugs products, on the
label or elsewhere. will be prohibited and
violators of the law dealt with severely. .
The National Association of Retail
Druggists has Endorsed the view Of Presi-

that the pure food and drugs act be

SHOOTING OF ROOSEVELT.

The shooting OF Theodore Roosevelt in Milwau-
kee Monday night by crank named John Schrenk
dastardly attempt at murder Fortunately
the assassin captured and he will no doubt pay
the penaly in full for his crime
As luck would have it Roosevelt was not serl-
ously injured by the bullet from the towards pistol.
He was not so badly injured as to prevent him from
going on with his address that evening. However,
the wound may prevent him from making further
addresses in this campaign.
In this case. always Colonel Roosevelt has
shown himself to be man of courage and no quib
bier over small things. He has made no more fuss
this affair than some people would over cutting
a finger.
The real regret that the American people should
have in case like this is that the laws OF the land
allow such people as Schrenk to become citizens
of this country There too many people with
anarchstic ideas allowed to become Americans and
settle in this country.
The affair will create much sympathy for
Roosevelt and gain for him many new friends.

OF wickedness, or new applications of old ones The
telephone the automobile, the electric drill, have
put new implements in the hands OF rascals but not
nearly the extent that they and other things have
put implements of blessing and progress in the
hands OF decent men. The fact is that il men the
world were no better than in the days OF Napoleon,
for example or OF Oliver Cromwell, such a society
as would be impossible. There is gradual
elimination throwing out and off OF a certain kind
OF man and woman. There are still few OF them,

only reason the world seems to be getting is
that the unsocia and the wicked make a stronger
impression than they once did, though exist.

QUIET OBSERVATIONS BY A QUIET
OBSERVER.


h There has been some suggestion that the Oulet
| Observer finds too many faults and does not see
enough OF the good things. If this is true he is sorry
for there are lots of good things in Mason Valley
and Yerington that might be mentioned But II
public as in private affairs it is only by noticing what
can be improved and then setting ourselves to I'M
prove it that make progress. 1t was SAID once
of man, very talented and in many ways excellent
that what he needed was wise wife to show MA
some OF the things he needed to correct For he had
some mannerisms and pecularities that were almost
unbearabe and that hndered his in spite OF
his many good qualities and fine abilities. And he
wise who discerns possibilities where others
overlook them, il at the cost of some personal
embarrassments and confessions of weakness. lie
will make the most of himself who is the best critic
of himself and the person community that resents
the suggestion of possible Improvement IS not likely
to advance like one that sees them quickly and is
glad to be shown where they do not see
But it is not wise to cultivate fault-hnding dis
position One gets that he cannot the really
good qualities of things or people. AS once heard
it put, can get that he would find fault with
the golden streets if they not eighteen carats
fine This is an unfortunate condition to be i'll. II
robs man OF good deal OF pleasure. He cannot
have the joys of hope and appreciation that are OF
so much value. Better be like man mentioned bv
certain college professor, IF he was in hell he
would be Dragging about the quality OF coal used
there Then it robs man friends OF having any
pleasure in his company. Laugh and the world
laughs with YOU, weep and you weep alone; this
grand old earth must borrow its mirth, it has troub
les enough OF its own. Then it adds good deal to
the pleasure OF our friends if they can feel that we
appreciate them Someone has said that taffy is bet
ter than epitaphv, and that flowers to the living
would be better than flowers after they dead
The Quiet Observer is glad to say that he has
not lived in community where he has enjoyed him
self more than he has in Yerington. This as
much of surprise to him it is likely to be to any
one else but ii is true Ii he could drop around
in while and see friend or two that were left be-
hind there would never come thought OF turning
to the old places and the old things. There is the
quiet and the wonderful wall OF mountains to shut
us in and trouble out And what climate! Then,
if we want them. have the same opportunities
OF the really great things in the world are to be
found anywhere. The poets and thinkers. the paint
and musicians ready to lay their treasures at
our feet 1t would be better if there more
books available but OF these days there will be
a public library, music and dramatic societies and
many other things make secure for
selves to add life that little touch OF ineness that
we all relish at times.
