Iowa Republicans Condemn Pro-

Des Moines, July 11.-Theodore
Roosevelt won a decisive victory in
the Republican state convention here
and the Taft administration and the
managers of the recent national con-
vention in Chicago were al decisively
rebuked.
Republicans of Iowa we're left free

Colonel Roosevelt next November by

conscience of the voter" and the plat.
form, containing a direct attack upon
the legality of the Chicago convention,
was adopted by an overwhelming vote.

ton, concluded his remarks shortly
after 1870 p. m.
Immediately Senator Dixon took the
floor to read some affidavits regarding
Lorimer's charges of attempted brib-
cry at the Chicago convention.
This did not take long and then
the vote was taken, Immediately after
Senator Tillman of South Carolina had
announced that he would vote In sup
port Of Lorimer. ...
This occasioned some surprise as he
had been counted among thos6 who
would vote against his, Illinois col.
league. t......
The closing moments of the trial
were intensely dramatic. Lorimer
holding the floor, making a last de-
tense of his election, declared he did
not appeal for the votes Of any sen.
ator but asked for justice.
Senator Lorimer, when the vote was
announced, walked slowly toward the
back of the room and passed into a
cloak room, Senator Smoot throwing
an arm over his shoulder.
The vote ousting him was concluded
at 2:05 o'clock. The man who had &C.
cupied a seat in the senate since
June IS, 1909. by the vote passes out
Of the records and never Off cially has

How strindbsrs's Unhappy Marriage
.coiorsd His Work.
The extremely unhappy married life
of August Strindberg is commented
upon by Clayton Hamilton in the Book
man.
at the age Of twenty-six he says.
''Strindberg fell in love with the wo-
man who was to exert deeper in
huence upon his work than any other
factor in his life experience. She was
already married, but she obtained d.
vorce and married Strindberg. For
time their welded life was happy, and
the poet in this single sunny period OF
his experience poured forth an amaz-
ing number and variety of literary
works conceived in the romantic mood.
But a little later his marriage began
to be disrupted by dissensions, and the
domestic life became increasingly un-
bearable to both parties as the years
proceeded. Held together by their chill
dren, they endured life of torture
until finally, after sixteen years. they
abandoned the hopeless struggle and
were divorced.
'"This tragic experience has colored
all the later work Of Strindberg. He
had begun by conceiving life as war.
and he now discovered in his own case
that love. which is the origin and es-
sence of life. is also war-a year long.
lifelong battle without an interrupt
ing truce. Hence he conceived love
as only the diverse of a two sided pas
sion, of which the inevitable reverse
is hatred. Other poets have made the
same discovery. Compare, for in
