he deserves.
The regulation committees were
then named and an adjournment was
aiken till o'clock.
In the committees perfect harmony
prevailed except in the case Of ''pllt-
form and resolutions" While no plat
form was adopted, yet under existing
conditions it was deemed necessary to
pass some resolutions, the question
being as to whether or not the con-
vention would pledge, or instruct its
delegation to vote for President Tafts
denomination, or whether or not the
delegation should go for Colonel
Roosevelt, or uninstructed for either.
IL developed early in the convention
that the sentiment was overwhelming
for Taft, and this spirit was likewise
carried to the committee on resolu-
tions, so that when the resolutions
were submitted it was simply ques'
ton of giving all a chance to present
their resolutions and views, and take
the vote. A resolution pledging for
Taft was presented, and a substitute
to the effect that the delegation 20
uninstructed offered. The widest
possible latitude in debate was per

In the Strand Magazine appears

He calculates that between them they

do with such a sum II they combined
forces? What things could they not
achieve with s5,Oo0,000,O0O? Suppose
they were aggressive and inclined to
wage war. They could put 100000
men in the field and maintain them
for ten years, perhaps for twenty. The
american Revolutionary war cost
500, 100000 The wars with Napoleon
from 1890 to 1915 cost Great Britain
$3.50, 100000. The Crimean war cost
$3.50, 100000 for two years. The South
African war cost England s1,250,OOO,.
600. The rich sextet could have borne
the costliest of these wars and had
a good sum over.
II they turned their attention to the
sea they could with half their capital
build a fleet that would be unique,
overpowering, irresistible. The big
gest fleet In the world-that OF Great
Britain-could probably be duplicated
for $1,000. 100000. Again these irwin
chile six could give 800 each to every
man, woman and child in the British
Isles. They could buy all the automo'
biles in the world and then have
enough left over to purchase the Pa

sufficient to buy up British shipping.
These are a few of the startling
things these six elderly gentlemen
could do with their combined wealth

Colonel Loose that the latter was will

and by reason of Colonel Losses per-

delegate.
An evidence of the Taft strength
was manifested in the Cache County
delegation in the case of Colone
Loose. Loose is personally popular
with the Cache county boys, yet he
received but five votes for delegate
ON the first ballot, due solely to the
fact that he was a Roosevelt man.
After the statement was made to the
Cache delegation by President Brim-

the Taft endorsement, and desired to
go as an instructed delegate, mis- stock

Golf rushed TO the club. He thrust

and simultaneously the gas lights
went out. Trying the other doors he
found himself in a narrow hallway

was rushing from the open jets, which
he could not reach.
After fifteen mint;tes' work with his
