Yesterday the primAry-law session
forth The interesting developments
of the day were three: II appears that
II was letter from Senator Dear
born of Granite that induced Senator
conrow Of Park To declare himself for
the primary law and a special session.
Next. 1t seems that pressure has been
brought to bear upon Senator Dear
born to induce him to back up' on
his promise that he would make the
majority man If 1T got that close. And
third. that the opponents or a primary
law are hard at work tn head Off a
special session, as Is evidenced by the
change Of base of Dearborn and, also
by the endeavor To declare vacant the
seat of Senator Tom Everett The
following dispatches which came TO
The Muscular last r'"ht present the
various phases of the situation:
Pressure on Dearborn.
Helena, May l7.-Montana tonight is
In the dark as To the probability of an
extra session of the legislature for the
puIpose VI eHacliHH ulreCI primary
law Although 1t was thought that last
night when State Senator ConroW sig
nified his Willingness to vote for the
conference bill. the issue was settled,
Ift appeared today that one more state
senator was needed. State Senator
Dearborn. who had been quoted as
willing to make the 14th state senator
to sign for the bill, and who had been
counted upon In the figures prepared by
the advocates of the direct primary, to-
night announced that, although favor
ing direct primaries he was opposed
to the party registration feature OF the
commission bill and would not vote
for this bill unless amended. Senator
Dearborn notified Governor Norris TO
this effect today. The governor stated
that In view of Senator Dearborn's
statement he could not call a special
session until one more state senator
gave an unqualified pledge for the
commission bill.
| Advocates Of direct primaries de-
clared tonight that at least two other
state senator's had given tentative
promises for the commission bin and
declared that within three days the
governor would have more than the re-
quired number Of pledges. No names
1 however, were mentioned in connec-
don with these assertions.

complained to President Roosevelt. and
MIR Bonaparte wrote to the senator
that the case would receive Immediate

The former president said Mr. Tafi
was mistaken in asserting that the
success of the cause for which he now

Colonel Roosevelt began his address
by saying that he should receive tn.

only because II had become evident
that unless did so, there was not

Billings. May 7.-(SpeciaL)-Now
that the smoke of battle has cleared
away and the results of the republican
state convention - Livingston can be
clearly nnal22ca II Is discovered that,
not only did the majority refrain from
positively alignng Montana with Taft,
but M matter of fact. mt least one
of the delegates elected IL a sure
Roosevelt adherent and will probably
vote for the colonel at Chicago
This person Is j. G. Kinney Of Daw-
son county who Is well-known
banker at Wibaux. and the peculiar
situation resulting from his selection
ts considered n pretty good Joke on
the anti-Roosevelt forces, and yet one
pcrpetrated solely by themselves, and
upon themselves. In their anxiety to
put cushion tires on the steam roller
carter II had done it's work. and to
give II sugar coating to n bitter po-
litical pill, they Went into eastern
Montana In n palliative frame of mind,
but In selecting a man who would pre-
sumahly appeal to section pride, they
inadvertently picked an out land out
Roosevelt man who does not seem to
be bound by any obligation from
voting for Roosevelt as often as
he pleases. The true inwardness of
this situation was explained In a state
ment given tonight by james A. Met
calf of Glendive, a member of the
Dawson county delegation and said to
be prospective candidate for congress
In castern Montana. Mr.. Metcnifs
statement is as follows:
The Statement.
"In their Jealous determination TO
send to Chicago an anti Roosevelt
delegation (Which delegation, by the
way. they refused to bind by absolute
instructions), the Taft forces in Mon
tana put one over on themselves when
they p ed J. C. Kinney of Dawson
county, n strong Roosevelt man, on
the delegation. | think Mr.. Kinney
can at this time be very properly
listed as a Roosevelt delegate for all
purposes of the Chicago convention.
MIR. Kinney was a member of the
Dawson county delegation to the re-
publican state convention held at Liv
ingston Yesterday, and this delegation
cast It's Is votes as unit on every
proposition that came up i'm the con-
vcntion. This was done In pur-
suance OF a previous agreement re-

tion and vas empowered to cast the

QrcSsiye prODOsitiOn that might como

the delegation should object to such
