tion the Beginning of Great
Road Construction.
Much Interest Manifested in Project
by People All Along the
Proposed Line.
Actual Work on Highway Will be
Commenced in Brown Coun.
ty Next Week.

Probably the most successful
public gathering ever held in Mo-
bridge took place last Friday even
ing, when the delegation of pro-
mOterS of the proposed Aberdeen
MObridge automobile highway as
sembled at the rooms of the Com
mercial club in this city, to take
the preliminary steps for the ulti-
mate completion of the highway.
Aberdeen and every town between
here and that place was we'll rep.
resented at the meeting.
The two days trip between this
city and Aberdeen was an excep-
tionally interesting one. Weather
conditions were ideal, the enrhu.
siasm and encouragement along
the line added considerable to the
occasion, and the excellent run
ming time made by the machines
caused matters to proceed without
a hitch.
The machines, twenty-five in
number, left Aberdeen at 8 o'clock
Friday morning, stopping at Nina,
Ipswich and Roscoe, along the
line, where large numbers of farm
ers and townsmen had gathered to
see the boosters for the state high
way. Short talks were given at
each of these points. Bowdle was
reached at noon, and fine dinner
partaken of by the good roads
boosters. The trip was resumed
at 80 o'clock, and in the after
noon stops were made at Selby,
Java and Glenham, where short
talks were made to the enthusias-
tic crowds gathered. Just before
the automobiles pulled into this
city photographs were taken of the
cars. MObridge was reached short
ly after 6 o'clock, the number of
cars having doubled along the way
from Aberdeen.
The guests were welcomed by
the band and were escorted to the
new Commercial club rooms, where
J. w. Harris, vice-president of the
club, welcomed the visitors to the
city and showed them through the
club.
Following sumptuOus supper
the visitors were shown about the
city and later escorted back to the
club, where a meeting was held.
j. F. Richards, president of the
club, heartily welcomed the visi-
tors to the city in behalf of the
club; Mayor F. M. Goodman turn
ed over the keys of the city to the
visiting good roads advocates,

Republican National Convention at
Chicago Completes it's Work
Saturday Night.
TAFT AND SHERMAN NAMED
National Ticket of Four Years Ago Again Nomi-
nated-Platform Adopted Strongly En-
dOrses Administration.

Chicago, June "a. - When the
new Republican national commit
tee was called to order at 10 o clock
this morning, it was predicted that
the Roosevelt committeeman here
would be removed, Taft men given
their places, and Secretary Hilles
made chairman of the committee.
The permanent re organization
of the committee and the disposi
ton of the Roosevelt men on the
committee, and the work of organ.
izing for the campaign is to be d.
rected by President Taft himself.
The decision was reached after a
session of the committee, which
then adjourned after naming a
committee of nine to confer with
the president.
Among the absenteeS at the
committee meeting were ThOrson,
of South Dakota, and Caswell, of
Minnesota.
Late Saturday night the Repub-
lican national convention concluded
one of the stormiest conventions
ever held by any political party by
renominating William Howard
Taft for president and James j.
Sherman for vice president.
The president was re-nominated
by a vote of SCI out of total OF
1,O78 delegates present, OF whom
$50 Roosevelt delegates remained
silent when the roll was called.
Warren G. Harding nominated
Taft in an eloquent address in
which the accomplishments of the
present administration were
eulogized.
CONVENTION SYNOPSIS
June 18.-Convention called to
order by Victor ROsewater, acting
chairman Of the national commit
tee; Taft forces placed in nomina-
ton Elihu Root for temporary
chairman. LaFOllette men nomin-
ated Governor Francis E. Mccoy
ern of Wisconsin for the place and
Roosevelt men endorsed him. After
all day figth, in which Governor
HerbertaS. Hadley, Roosevelt floor
leader, sought to exclude contested
Taft delegates from voting on pro-
position, Root was elected to chair
by vote of 55S to 5O2 for McGOv-
ern. Walter Houser, LaFOllette
manager, served notice that fact
that Roosevelt men had voted for
MoGovern should not be interpre-
ted to mean there was an alliance
between Roosevelt and LaFollette.
June 49, Hadley's motion to
sub ;titute the minority report Of
the national committee, seating the
Roosevelt delegates from the con-
tested districts, instead Of the. TAFT
delegates, tabled by convention,
564 to 80.
June 2O.-But little business

ing showed that the nation wide
enthusiasm for better roads is rap
idly spreading over the entire
state.
On the return trip to Aberdeen
more crowds were addressed at the
towns through which the delega
ton passed. The ears reached
Aberdeen on schedule time Satur
day afternoon on schedule time,
being accompanied by gOOdly |
number of Mobridge people, but
all the participants were too tired
to hold the meeting planned for
the afternoon, so that this part of
the schedule was postponed until
evening.
AT Saturday nights meeting a
permanent committee, consisting
of the membership of the three
committees for Brown, Edmunds
and Walworth counties, was form
ed. This committee elected j. w.
Parmley, of Ipswich, chairman and
w. c. Allen, of Aberdeen, secretary
and treasurer. This committee is
to have general charge of the work
in the three counties, and to call
meetings of all interested in the
work, when necessary.
State Engineer Lea told of the
work the state department is doing
in aiding the building Of good roads
in the state, and gave an outline
of some of the best methods for
raising funds with which to carry
: on the work.
He went into detail concerning
the road from Aberdeen to Mo-
bridge. On the auto run he had
taken notes on each mile of the
route, and he will later submit
written report, with suggestions
end estimates of the amount of
grading necessary and the cost
connected with it. He estimates
that it will cost about $500 per
mile to build good permanent
road through Brown county line,
although fair dirt road can be
built for about 5000 per mile. He
urges that this stretch of ten miles,
however, be made permanent on
account of the low grade. He es-
timated the average cost Of the en-
tire 1913 miles of road between here
and Aberdeen at abOu: 5000 per
mile for a dirt highway which
would do good service and which
could later be more permanently
improved.
Following Engineer Lea, twenty
others spoke informally. Twelve
out of the fifteen committeeman in
the three counties were present at
the meeting.
The committee drew up set of
resolutions which formed the basis
for the discussion of the evening,
and appointed committee of six
who will raise the necessary fund
of So 900 with which to build a
permanent road in Brown county,
west of Aberdeen. Those appointed
on the committee will be personally
interviewed and requested to act
before their names are made public.
Those who do accept will meet and
appoint enough additional mem
bers to bring the membership of
the finance committee to seven.
The resolutions adopted were as
follows:

Recently the military appropriation

Should this measure have received
the approval Of the senate the post
at this point and also at Detroit would

Zens to action. although no apparent
interest was displayed in Detroit. the
property at present occupied by Fort
Wayne evidently being desired for
manufacturing sites. Thursday a num-
Der Of kilograms were sent to Senators
Smith and Townsend by business men
