Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Feb. 16.-The political
pot, both presidential and guberna,
torial, is boiling merrily at the Hotel
Radisson, where the Minnesota State

the state are in attendance and hang
ing around the outskirts are politi
clans of all shades of political faith
Samuel Y. Gordon, candidate for
governor, Is present as president OF
the association; Alvah Eastman, can
didate for congressman at large, and
Julius A. Schmahl, candidate for an
other term as secretary Of state. are
also on hand as members of the as
oociatfon.
Among the outsiders are George
LOTUS, Minnesota State Progressive
league, an ardent La Toilette man;
James A. Tawney, former congress
man, one of President Taft's Mime
sofa lieutenants. and others looking
after the interests of President Taft
Colonel Roosevelt, Governor Eberhari

The editors are divided In senti

ARMY OFFICE IN TROUBLE
Adjutant General Ainsworth to Be
CourtmartiaIed.

Washington, Feb 16.-Adjutant Gen
eral Fred c. Ainsworth has been re-
lieved from duty at the war depart
ment and soon will be ordered before
a courtmartial.
While the charges have not been
framed it is understood they will be
based on conduct to the prejudice of
good order and discipline and perhaps
insubordination.
Serious friction long has existed be-
tween the adjutant generals office and
the general staff and the crisis came
when Secretary Stimson sided with
the latter. Matters were brought to
an issue by report made last week
by General Ainsworth TO the secre-
tary of war in connection with the
muster and pay rolls and Secretary
Stimson felt that the adjutant general
had used language which impugned
his own integrity and fairness as well
as that of other officers of the depart
ment

flee and Highly Praises His Success
sor as Ian of Constructive Ability
and Loyal Servant of the Country.
Marking, China. Feb. 16.-The ma
tfonal assembly unanimously elected
Yuan Shi Kai president of the repub-
lie and then decided that the provi-
sional capital shall be Nanking.
In the letter to the assembly, in
which he offers to lay down the office
of chief executive, DIR Sun says:
Yuan Shi Kai has declared that he
adheres Internationally to the nation
al cause. He would surely prove a 10y
al servant of the state Besides this
Yuan Shi Kai is man of constructive
ability upon whom our united union
looks with the hope that he will bring
about the consolidation of it's interests
The happiness of our country depends
upon your choice. Farewell"
The national assembly afterwards
passed resolution paying a great
tribute to DR. Sun, as follows:
Such an example of purity of pur-
pose, of self-sacrifiee, is unparalleled
in history. 1t was solely due to his
magnamity and modesty that North
ern China was won over.
Yuan Shi Kafs refusal to come TO
Marking has caused some reaction
here. A section of the members OF
the senate declares that it will not
elect Yuan Shi Kai president of the
republic. This opposition to the for
mer imperial premier has been
strengthened by report received
here that Yuan Shi Wal is engaged in
seeking recognition from the foreign
legations in Peking and that he has
received some encouragement.

Minneapolis, Feb. 16.-"Roosevelt

Walter l.. Houser, manager of La Fol
lette's campaign. He is in the West
to combat the tide of Roosevelt senti
ment, which has become especially
strong since the report of La Follette's
physical collapse In Philadelphia.

secretary of state of North Dakota
Mr.. Houser was bitter in his denun-
citation of Roosevelt. He declared that
the La Toilette men discovered
"treachery" in the Roosevelt camp
three months ago. This helped, he
said. to overtax La Follette's nervous
condition, however. he declared. is not

urged Senator La Toilette to announce
his candidacy at once. Then he began,
insidiously and secretly. to undermine
La Follette's organization. Some peo-
pie are already realizing that II this is
the kind of a square deal which Roose-
velt stands for they do not want his
kind. We control the balance of pow
er In the national Republican commit
tee. The South won't send delega-
tion to the national convention which
will not be contested. The federal ma
chine Is busy selecting its delegates,
but In each case the Roosevelt and
Taft men are struggling for suprem-
acy. This Will result In tumble of
contested delegations. The Roosevelt
organization will assist us in breaking
up the solid Taft support In the South.
"The national committee. as you
know, will be preliminary committee
on credentials. The last meeting of
the committee showed that it is even
ly divided between Taft and Roosevelt
The five votes which La Toilette con-
trolls will constitute a sort of balance

COUNTY FAIR.

Oktibbeha County is easily
the banner Stock county of the
state. By reason of the impetus,
encouragement, and instruction
secured by the farming inter.
ests of this county from our A.
& M. College; the fertility and
variety of our soil, the lntelli.
gence and energy of our farm
ers, Oktibbeha is also one of the
leading agricultural counties in
the state. This being true,
ought not the citizens taFe a
pride IN making our fair the
model fair of the state.
It has been amply demon.
strated that a fair is of great
value to a community. The ben.
efits are not confined to any in
dividual or class but all are,
more or less the benehciaries
thereof. Then lets all join in an
effort to make the next fair the
greatest success in the history

To My Fellow Citizens Of
The First c Congressional Dis
trict Of Mississippi:-

Permit me through
this medium to invite your atten-
tentlon to my candidacy to repre-
sent you in the Congress of the
United States.
When this announcement
was first made it was hoped my
competitor Hon, E. S. Gambler,
Jr., of Alcorn would accept an
invitation to meet me IN joint de-
bate, that we might discuss the
political issues of the day each
from his stand point. With the
exception of a. joint discussion at
Aberderdeen, July 4th, this priv.
iIege has been denied me.
I'm view of the Congressional
primary to be held August 9th,
I ask this opportunity of solicit
ing yourlsupport. Public office,
is a public trust, to be conferred
by the people upon those capa-
BILE and deserving. I believe the
people of the First District real
ize that the time limit of Office
holding has been reached by Mr..
Gambler and that they haye de-
cided to see him succeeded by a
Democrat who deserves we'll of
the party
In presenting my candl-
dacy I stand on my own merit.
] make no claim of superior
qualification for office, nor do l
promise to do more than to re-
present you faithfully and in
telligently. I seek the Office for
the honor it brings, belieY1ng
that with my experience in the
Legislative affairs of Mississippi,
| have the ability to cope sue
cessfully with those with whom
I would be associated, and to ad-
vance the material interests of
the State at large.
The success of the Demo-
cratic party in the approaching
National election seems assured.
With this victory our South
land will find recognition. and a
place IN the councils of the Ma
tion she has notenjoyed since the
days of reconstruction.
I shall make "a canvass Of
the several Counties of the Dis
trict, and I trust I may have the
privilege of presenting my claim
to you in person.
In conclusion | promise if
honored by the suffrages of a
majority of the voters of the
First District, that whatever of
talent, ability and energy I may
possess shall be directed to the
welfare of the people I have the
honor to represent.
Faithfully yours,
