Lakota Observer: There seems to be
a revolution o ffeeling against the action
of Roosevelt at the Chicago convention.
Many republicans are loath to follow
the colonel into what they think is po-
litical oblivion. The fate of the "gone
before" boilers stand out in bold re.
lief as a solemn warning against such
tactics. If a person is not satisfied
with the actions of his party he has q
small chance to reform it if he gets on
the outside. AS to the action of the
Taft forces in over riding the states
which cast republican %majorities that
will be probably answered in the No
vember elections. If a person is licked
in q political battle it is poor policy to
make a "holler'' on the outside.

l.. H. Bratton, editor Of the Rugby
Optimist, was one Of the many editors
who ran for public office and one Of the
few who won out. If the fall election
gives him the votes he received at the
primaries he will be one Of the repre-.
sentatives from Pierce county. Bratton
is not sure whether he will support the
entire republican ticket in the fall.
There are many others debating over
the same question.

POLITICS DAY BY DAY

This was done not by men who are ia
vora,ble to progressive principles. The
most notable and prominent one was Dan
r. Hanna"
Mr.. Houser declared that an attempt
was made whereby delegates in Ohio
should be supported by the combined La
Toilette and Roosevelt forces. but that
Senator La Toilette refused to agree to
this. He also stated that Senator La
Toilette would be able to do active work
within short time, and that he has no
notion of Withdrawing.
Interest was also manifested in the an
nouncement from Wisconsin that the
Taft people were carrying the war into
! the enemies country, and would seek to
grab off a few delegates from La Fol-
lette's own sacred political preserves. In
Madison yesterday two conventions were
held by the republicans in the third dis
trict, the home of Senator La Toilette.
One meeting was strongly in favor OF
President Taft. while the other favored
Mr.. La Toilette with equal fervor. Both
gatherings named candidates for dele
gates to the republican national conven-
ton. The delegates will be elected at the
election to be held throughout the state
April 2
The. resolutions at the Taft convention
state that the President should be re-
nominated and reelected, not for the rea-
son merely that it is the party custom to
accord such Endorsement to faithful ex-
ecutive. but rather because Of his splendid
record.
In an address to the progressives the
executive committee of the La Toilette
Republican Club of Wisconsin and the
La Toilette state delegates presented at
their meeting the name Of La Toilette
for the republican nomination for Presi-
dent. The resolutions declare that under
La Follettes leadership Wisconsin. more
than any other state, made the will of
the people the law Of the land
In New York, Col Roosevelt denied a
report that William Loeb jr., would
manage his political campaign. Asked
If he would make campaign the colonel
side-stepped and had nothing to say.
The Maryland legislature has invited
Gov. Harmon, Gov. Wilson, Speaker
Clark and Leader Underwood to visit
Annapolis and address the legislature.
Perry s. Heath is booming ex-Gov
Franklin Murphy for the nomination for
Vice President. Some of Vice President
Sherman's New York friends say that
they were under the impression that New
York had the first call in this regard,
and intimate that If the administration
needs New York wise preliminary
would be not to start anything against
Mr.. Sherman.
The republicans of the ninth Alabama
district split yesterday. the Roosevelt fol-
lowers calling a convention for May IL,
and the Taft men named March 16 az

With seven big presidential headquar-
tiers open in this city, people for the past
day or two have been waiting for inter-
esting developments in politics. With the
Taft, the Roosevelt, the Clark the Will
son, the La Toilette, the Underwood and
the Harmon headquarters wide open,
many were looking for the worst. But
nothing happened.
A tour of the several centers of sup
posed political activity revealed nothing
more stirring than the sight of the glad
hand managers, who, for the most part,
seemed to be occupying the familiar Mi
caber-like attitude, awaiting for some
thing to turn up.
The Roosevelt outfit attracted the most
attention. especially after the clarion
blast of Medill Mccormick on the OPEN
ing night Mr.. Mccormick, however,
seemed to think that would hold him for
while, and yesterday he flew the coop,
going to New York to confer with his
chiefs. Before leaving he said that he
is not manager but that the real goods
in a nagerial line will be on display in
| g. day or two. Latest reports name Sem
ator- Dixon of Montana as the probable
grand glad hand of the Roosevelt head
quarters
The Wilson people, who have a very
resourceful press agent, flashed an in
terview with Senator Hoke Smith de-
claring for Gov. Wilson. This was to
offset the report that the south will be
solid for Underwood.
Senator Bankhead gave out some en-
couraging dope about the Underwood
boom. John Eversman. at the Taft head
quarters, pervaded a smile which puts
him away at the head of the Sunny
JIM class, but all he had to report was
I'VE have the delegates; let the other
fellows do the hollering."
The politicians were nightly interested
today in the dispatches from Minneap-
oils, where Col. Houser, who is Senator
La Follette's campaign manager. at
tackled Roosevelt on a charge of bad
faith toward La Toilette.
Col. Houser's accusations were made in
an address at luncheon Of the Henne-
pin County Progressive League, and
were reiterated in long statement issued
by him. In the statement he declared
Senator La Toilette became presidential
candidate after Col. Roosevelt absolutely
had declined to do so, and said the for
mer President had sent a common friend
to Mr.. La Toilette urging him to an
nounce his candidacy.
Those opposed to Senator La Fol-
lette and the things for which he stands"
continues the statement, became alarm
ed at the rapid development of his cam
paign in Ohio, and the method pursuad
to hinder it was by interposing Col.
Roosevelt's name into the campaign and
starting a movement for his nomination.

Held Necessary for the I. c. c. by
Commissioner B. II. Meyer.

Sweeping powers for the interstate COM
merce commission were advocated today
by Commissioner b. H. Meyer before the

The commissioner declared that unless

and future, the determination of the fair
ness Of rates would be difficult. Unless
these added powers were repOsed In the

it would be compelled, as at present, to

what rates should be.

PATRONS ARE NUMEROUS

"Pikers' were in evidence yesterday
afternoon in a frame dwelling on the east
side of the Bladensburg road between the
District lire and BiadenSburg, where tick
ers recorded the results of contests on
race tracks and where the assembled
sports We're given plenty of opport unity

the number of patrons increased. until
yesterday the number reached a hundred

Trouble with the current delayed the

wanted to back the ponies. County Off

No Blackboards Used.

There was an absence yesterday of the
big blackboards such as are usually seen
in poolroom and the screen near the
ticker was so arranged that the man who
took the money was not to be seen by
the players. No sheet-writer was On
hand to record the bets on tickets. the
bettors being required to write the names
of the horses on slips of paper furnished
for that purpose. the number Of their
tickets being written to prevent confusion
in paying off the winners.
Some disappointment was experienced
by the patrons of the place because of
failure to give descriptions of the races,
one of the interesting features of pool
rooms.
1T was just a quiet gathering of peo
pie who like to play a few dollars on the
races was the comment of one of the
men whose appearance was that of a
loser.

parted. some poorer and wiser and others
