Bolt Is Almost Sure

Fort Worth, Tex, May N.-With indi- cations tonight pointing to the control of the republican state convention here tomorrow by the Lyon Roosevelt forces and prospects of bolt by members Of the McGregor-Taft faction, the prelimi- naries of the convention were mapped out today by the opposing sides.
 While many of the Taft delegates con- ceded the power to the Roosevelt men, the followers of McGregor give promise of a fight This was indicated early to- day in a demand for recognition of the contesting delegations which Chairman
 Cecil A Lyon of the state executive conl-
 mitee had declared irregular contests because of lack of affidavits and fan- ure to file within given time. Late in the day several of these contests were heard.
 The claims of 1T contesting delegations,
 classed as regular" were heard this aft
 ernoon, giving on the whole an addi- ticnal advantage to the followers of Lyon and Roosevelt. Chairman Lyon, who is the avowed leader of the Roosevelt fac ton, claimed 127 votes in the convention
 tomorrow before the contests were settled this afternoon.
 IT ey include not only instructed votes but those which, Lyon says, he has been assured are for Roosevelt. II. F. Me- Gregor, Taft campaign manager in Texas, claims S4 instructed delegates for the praaident

Eight delegates at large to the natlon- al convention will be selected tomorrow. Aside from this, 16 district conventions recently chose two delegates,' each To the national convention. There are nine con- tests from the district conventions, where two sets of delegates were selected.

 sations favoring Roosevelt be seated in the state convention. Three Taft delega- lions are to be seated. In three coun- ties each faction was allowed half of one vote and in Bexar. which has two votes, the delegation will be divided. An unin- structed delegation from the remaining county will be seated. The Lson follow CTS claim this delegation Is favorable to Taft. With the exception of Bexar all the contesting counties have only one vote
 At the close of it's work late today the executive committee appointed sub-com- mittee to consider contests from nine counies, which were not included in to-
 days action. Report will be made on these tomorrow morning.

Big Prize for Wheat.

Farmers of northern Minnesota
who have been raising wheat in the
past will have an opportunity this
year Of trying for a prize which has
market value of $4,000. The prize
consists of Big 4" gas tractor and
set of breaking plows, delivered
free to the winner. To set the prize,
the farmer must have the best five
bushels Of wheat grown in the Am
erican northwest.
Beltrami county has soil than
which there is no better III the Unit
ed States. AS new as it is, this soil
should be able to grow wheat of a
higher grade than that of any other
state in the league. It is to be hoped
that many of the farmers of this Sec
ton of the state will try for this
prize. Winning it would be the best
possible ad for Beltrami county and
would bring in many new settlers.
If section Of our country which
contains but 20 per cent of the
area of the United States and but 6
per cent of it's population, produces
35 per cent of the wheat; SO per cent
of the barley; % per cent of the
wool and 80 per cent Of the flaxseed
each year, it ought to re as good a
section as there is in the world for a
home.

northwest has been doing each year
