Lewiston convention two weeks ago,
he announced his withdrawal, the
first of the several candidates to
voluntarily leave the field rather
than leave the party with so many
candidates that war was certain to
follow. He expresses his gratifica-
ton for the support given him by
the friends who thought him to be
the man for the place. Mr.. Defen-
bach disclaims any knowledge of or
sympathy with the reported move

of some of the candidates by offer

showing before the people that he
can be considered as one of the
NEST promising prospects for pub
recognition in years to come.
Mr.. Taylor has served four years
as state auditor, and his office was
never SO well filled before. For a
year or more his name has been sug-
gested for the governorship, and at
one time last fall he was strong

BASE BALL A LA MODE
Defeats Dietrich Texas
Leaguers--Will Try Again

Have the citizens of the little
town Of Dietrich organized a ball
team? About five minutes after
the game started last Sunday, the
Richfield boys decided that the
whole Texas league had moved to
Dietrich, and they had picked the
very best of them for that days S
game.
But wait until you hear the last
of the game, before starting to be-
lieve that Richfield isn't headquar-
ters for all base ball in this section.
1t was anybody's game until the
close of the eighth inning, though
with the score four to two in favor
cf Dietrich the winner looked to be
pretty easy tc pick. Eut you can t
always tell In the ninth, the Rich
field boys squared their shoulders,
set their teeth, closed thir ears to
the exultant chaff of the winning
home team, and started in for a real
slaughter. Little John Fowler was
their cnly "rooter," against all the
local fans who had their voices tun-
ed up to concert pitch and going it
strong. Then they began hitting
the ball as II it were a football and
tied so they couldn't miss. Clever
base running converted five of the
hits into runs. In a silence that
Larson, the big Richfield pitcher,
went into the box for the last inning
and shut out the Dietrich leaguers

RICHFIELD BAND.
Promise of Strong Musical Org
anization If All Will Help.

Richfield is in fair way to have
band this summer, a band that is
as good as the best of the small
town organizations Leon Garlock
and VIM Herbert are the moving
spirits in starting the matter, and
they have received enough encour-
agement to lead them to hope that
ten or twelve pieces can be secured
for regular service. A twelve-piece
band will make fine music, and it
is more than many really good coun-
try bands carry.
Every one who has a desire to
assist in the movement and especi-
ally those who have had experience
in band or orchestra work, will be
more than welcome Don't wait
to be coaxed, but come now.

Looks Like Roosevelt Victory
Gets EUery Vote In NeSO jersey and Gains National
Strength DaiIy-EUen Harder Fight for Democrats

New Jersey is the latest state to
cast big and unanimous convention
vote for Roosevelt for president. At
the primaries held there Tuesday,
Roosevelt swept the state, winning
every delegate, the president failing
to secure even one. Both men had
campaigned the state ceaselessly
taken, and LaFollette had made
vigorous campaign though he failed
to make an impression on the vote
Wilson easily carried off the hon
ors for the democratic choice, and it
is expected that he will have an un-
divided delegation frcm his home
state. He broke even with Clark
in Texas, and all in all he is close
enough to the Missourian that they
may be considered to have almost
an equal chance to carry off the
prize AS neither one, however is
now in position to claim majority,
while the democratic convention ad-
heres to the two-thirds rule, it is
perhaps a long way to a democratic
choice 1t is becoming more and
more the opinion of good observers
that Bryan may be the man. Hav-
i-g taken no part in the bitter riv
airy between the others, he is cas-
lily available as compromise candi
date, and his wide acquaintance is
enough to make him formidable 1t
is in fact almost fair bet to back
him against the field.

sHORT-ORDER PROGRAM.
Fortnightly Club Excels In Extern-
poraneous Work.

One of the most interesting pro-
grams Of the season was given by
the Fortnightly Club. Tuesday night
1t was entirely extemporaneous, or
rather with one exception; the regu-
lar numbers on the program failing
to appear, the places were filled by
call of the president. Some excel
lent short addresses were given, and
it can be said that the art of think
ing on ones feet is being well de-
veloped in Richfield. At the close
of the literary program, Mesdames
Brush and Burton served g luncheon
of most admirable quality. such an
one as should tempt any one to a
literary life. The Club voted down
an amendment for two meetings a
month during the summer, and will
adhere to the original plan of one
social session a month from June
until October.

Work is to be begun at once all
along the line of the Central Idaho
rairlcad out from Richfield. In
deed, this work has already begun,
for several carloads of men came
to Richfield this week and are al
ready in the field.
Everything is to be taken up as
soon as possible, and finished; the
fencing, surfacing, telegraph line,
stations, stock yards, bridges, and
the line finished up for good. The
track is graded clear to Hill City,
the terminus, all but one or two
changes in sidings at various places
The two big bridges are practically

national convention is noe expected
to be ten-minute affair, the tick
cts of admission read Good for
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, FRI
day, Saturday, and as long there
after as the convention may be in
session" Information is sent out
from both the Roosevelt and the
Taft headquarters that their candl-
date expects to win on the first
ballot. In the Taft list Of sup
porters is classed all the New York
delegation, and every vote where
there is a contest, 1t is impos-
sible that Taft will get all of the
New York vote; Roosevelt claims
at least 80 votes, and is likely to
get twice that many. Of the more
than 200 contested delegations, the
temporary organization of the con-
vention will largely determine how
they will be decided.
There is much gossip on the part
of the Taft press, that the Roose-
welt forces will bolt and hold con-
vention of their own if they do not
win control of the regular conven-
tion. There is in fact far more rea-
son to believe that the administra-
ton forces will be the bolters; or
that their greed will force every
man who respects himself to leave
and form an honest convention. But
all this is yet to be written into the
history of American politics. The
is only two weeks off,
and the whole matter will soon be
settled.
