There was an outburst of cheering
when the total Roosevelt strength
was announced as 343, the number of
delegates not voting. but greater
outburst followed the announcement
of 666 votes yea. The nays were SO,
and 16 were absent
No Nomination for Cummins.
Immediately Chairman Root an.

for nominations. Alabama was passed
Arizona was silent. Down the list
silence followed the calling of each
state until Ohio was reached. A cheer
greeted the state and Warren G. Hard.
Ing arose to place President Taft in
nomination.
Then 1t was discovered Iowa had
forgotten to nominate Cummins, and
Root ordered that the state be called
again. Silence greeted the second call,
for the IOwans had decided not to
nominate Cummins, but to vote for
him.
Then Ohio was called again, and
Harding took the platform, geeted by
scattered cheers, to nominate Taft.
Day Of Battle.
Friday was day Of excitement and
constant fighting between abe Taft
and Roosevelt forces on the floor of
the Republican convention. A partial
report from the committee on creden-
tials was the cause of the sanguinary
conflict.
During the day four roll calls were
taken which furnished some little
CLEAN of hope for. both. sides. On one
ballot the Taft men polled the highest
vote yet recorded for them, COZ A
little later whatever significance
might have been attached to that vote
was somewhat discounted when the
Roosevelt adherents mustered
strength Of 500, which was the high
mark so far for the colonel's side.
The Roll Calls.
The roll calls were occasioned by
majority and minority reports from
the credentials committee on the seat
ing of contested delegates in the Ninth
Alabama district. The roll call was
on a motion to table Governor Had
ley's resolution that contested dele
gates be not allowed to vote on the
reports. This carried by vote of $50
to 1910 not voting.
A motion made at once following, to
substitute the minority report seating
the Roosevelt men. as against the ma
jority's steam roller candidates was
lost by vote of AGA to COS. In the
second vote eight Idaho and twenty
five Wisconsin votes went with the
Taft men. These states explained
that as members Of their delegations
were on the credentials committee
they desired to support that commit
tee. They denied they had bolted to
the Taft side on any other issue.
The third ballot was on the Arizona
contest case. The result was 564 to
497.
The fourth vote was on the Calieor-
MIA case This resulted 542 to 1923,
the highest vote yet mustered by the
Roosevelt men.

BARNS BIG SHOWS
ANIMAL TRAINERS

Woman, is at last coming into
her own. Woman cab drivers in
Paris. Policewomen in Los An
geles and California, and a wo-
man mayor out in a little town in
Kansas. The eternal feminine
is more eternal than ever, and
now comes woman animal train
ers, who are fast crowding the
masculine sex for honors which
they once held exclusively.
One of the most famous ami
NAL trainers in the world, is Nine.
Ricardo, who has a group of edu-
Gated Royal Bengal Tigers with
the Al G. Barnes Big Three Ring
Wild Animal Circus. She is the
only woman who has ever sue
cessfully trained these beasts,
which are the most bloodthirsty
and ferocious of of all denizens
of the forests and jungles.
One of the most essential fea-
lures in the training of wild ami
mails is patience. This is one
characteristic in which the gen.
tie sex excels. Allied with pa
tience, must be good judg-
ment. and one who has patience,
generally has good judgment.
Trainers, whose hasty temper, or

a sudden loss of patience, the
trainers says, or does some fool
ish thing, which spells his de-
feat as a conqueror of animals.
There is a thrill and fascina-
ton in the training of wild ami
mails which one is never success
fully able to throw off when onco
experienced. All wild animal
trainers deep down in t h cir
hearts know that they will event
ually meet their death from the
beasts which they seek to con-
quer. However, they appar-
antly labor on and on until sud-
denly the curtain of life is low
cred on them without warning.
The Al G.. Barnes Three Ring
Big Wild Animal Show, best
known as the show that is diff
erent, will exhibit in Holbrook
on Sunday, Oct. 81. More ami
mal4 will be seen with this exhi-
bition than ever gathered before
at any time. Two performances
will be given at 2 and 8 p. m.
The doors will be opened one
hour previous to the perform
apce that the public may view
the magnificent menagerie.

what assistance they could in the trying
situation.
There IL no criticism OF the warden.
He has made most efficient warden
ard has instituted many reforms in
the jackson prison for the benefit OF the
state as we'll as the prisoners. Many of
the reforms which he has instituted has
meant fight from the start, but those
who know Nate knows that he does nos
fear fight when he is in the right. He
has endeavored to govern the prison by
humanitarian methods, and has appeal
ed to the prisoners as men to do what
was right. Recent developments have
shown that prisoners in the state penal
institutions cannot be governed by that
method. Some of them of course can,
but there is always an element of bad
among the prisoners, that nothing but
the fear of punishment can conquer.
The governor and board of control have
expressed their entire confidence in the
ability of Warden Simpson to restore
order and harmony in the prison. They
have authorized him to. employ any
means that may seem necessary to quell
the disturbers and maintain discipline.
1t is altogether probable that from now
on punishment OF some kind will be
meted out to those who are in need OF
it, ana that the jackson institution will
be governed with an iron hand as is the
Marquette prison under Warden
Russell.

SUNDAY DELIVERY

PoStmasters Must Obey In

master General.

The provisions OF the new postoffice

general distribution of mail an Sunday

caused some criticism. 1t has been
insinuated land by those who know
better that the distribution of Sunday
mail is optional with the postmaster.
This is not true. 1t is a part of the
appropriation act. The postmaster, no
matter how accommodating and obliging
he may desire to be, must act In accord
ance with the federal acts as inter-
preted by the postmaster general.
The first order issued by the post
master general has been modified some
