ventions

The controlling sentiment of the 500
delegates at the annual convention of

concern which is turning out more

other brick manufacturers of the state

Campbell's Paper Good.
80. Owe. of the feature papers at the
convention, Mr.. Hunter says. was that
by Louis Campbell. secretary of the
Grand Forks company. which dealt
with "Steam versus Electricity as Mo-
tor Power"
Mr.. Hunter says this was the great
est convention in the twenty-five
years that the association has been
organized. Thirty-one states and
Canada were represented.
One Of the most important matters
to come up for discussion al the con-
vention was publicity and advertising.
It was shown that the cement inter-
ests of the country are spending an
nually about 5000, 900 in advertising,
while the brick makers are %expending
less than $4,000 in the, same line.
h brick manufacturers voted to
Increase their advertising and to raise
|fu1ds7by private subscriptions for this
work.
The outlook for the brick maker
was never brighter. Mr.. Hunter AYERS.
He believes that this year will see
marked advances in the industry.

BURNS TO ASSIST.
Mr.. Howard Will Probably Secure De-
tective's Assistance.

The following statement was made by
the Topeka Electrical Union today:
It is rumored that the famous detec-
tive is coming to the assistance of Mr.
Howard in his troubles. Also Mr.. How
ard is going to lay in a gross of dicta-
phones to aid him in tracking his en-
emies to their lair.noIt is said he has
closed a -contraet7Swithn the famous law
firm of 1. Bunc & u. Sting, to look after
his lengthy criminal business, especial
ly to defend hin when he is arrested
for jay driving.
1t seems the Electricians went on a
strike against the Howard Electrical
company some eight months ago. Since
the strike Mr.. Howard has had some
fifteen or sixteen different non-union
men working for him at different times,
and all gentlemen. He now has four.
1t seems the rest of them were too
gentlemanly to work very long for Mr..
Howard or else they were shipped out
of town by tn rich Electricians Union,
which has raised a fund of $4,000 for
such purpose.
The Electrical Union wishes to an
nounce to the public that they will
not carry this controversy through the
press any longer, as it costs money
and they are not in position to
work OUT their debts, but, in clos
ing, inform the public where they can
gain more information about Mr..
Howard and just why the Howard
Electrical company does not do Work
for them:
Mr.. Towards neighbors-
Any prominent architect.
Any prominent business man on the
avenue, especially between Seventh
and Eighth streets.
Any prominent contractor and the
city officials.
AS a parting announcement, the
Electrical Union wish to call the pub
lie attention to the peaceful and con-
tented condition of their affairs in all
of the other shops in town.
Mr. Howard, the brass band phil
anthropist has donated some base
balls to the fire department for adj
vertising purposes. 1t seems his dress
suit has been conspicuous by its alb
sence because it SENS he only puts 1t
on when he secures a. job.

OHIO SETTLES 1T.
Taft Says Vote of Home State VIII
Decide Nomination.

Cleveland, May 16.sReplying to the
claims of Theodore Roosevelt that he
had 522 delegates to the Republican
national convention, President Taft
today in a public statement pointed
out that Mr.. Roosevelt had only 300
delegates and for the first time adj
mitted that the result of the primaries
in Ohio will settle the question of the
Republican nomination
THE vote in Ohio, my home state
much to my qualification, will be the
decisive one and will settle the ques-
ton of the nomination." said the presi-
dent.
The statement follows:
only 1873 delegates to the Chicago
convention remain to be chosen. If
Theodore Roosevelt were to get all Of
them, yet he could not be nominated
Carefully prepared figures show that
only 309 delegates thus far are instruct
ed for or pledged to him and the talk
of real and genuine contests against
delegates who are instructed for me, is
of the misleading issues that have been
injected into this campaign.
The number of Taft delegates thus
far chosen, not counting the eight from
Montana and a number from Texas
and Arkansas. who will be elected to-
day is $50 and the vote in Ohio, my
nome state, much to my qualification.
Will be the decisive one and will set
tie the question of the nomination.
The Chicago convention will be or
ganized by the friends of constitutional
government and the success of that
great cause now seems assured.

CALLED HIS BLUFF.
Col. Roosevelt Discusses His and
Taft's Position on Reciprocity.

Sydney, Ohio, May 16.-Col. Roose-
welt in his speech at Sydney today
said:
Il think you will find that here in
your own community, the political
bosses are using the office holders,
the office holding clerk to thwart the
will of the people. And you will find
1t true too, that the very big office
holders who try to use their office to
thwart the will of the people thus
tyrannize over every smaller man in
their office.
THE men at the head of some of
the offices of the government some of
the divisions of the postOffice depart
ment for instance will do all they can
to eSta blish a false economy by a sys-
tenn of fines and dement's and refusal
to make promotions to vacancies
among their employees; and will do
injustice to the small men in office, at
the very time that the bigger men are
trying to use the poStmaSterS to CO.
cree their fellow citizens so as to rep
resent those citizens in the politics of
the country
Now 1 think you will find that if
you look among the railroad clerks
letter carriers and like the condition
of affairs exists as 1 have described it;
that while the men at the top in the
federal offices are conspiring to mis-
represent their fellow citizens, they
also are tryannizing improperly over
the men there down in the Offices"
GfeenNllle, u, May 10 calle0
his bluff said Roosevelt today of
President Taft as he was speaking at
Greenville on the reciprocity bill, say
ing the president had attempted to
show that the ex-president was with
him in the fight for reciprocity. Roose-
welt said that when he first favored
the bill, he had rot known it's char
acter.
when 1 learned later on that it
worked to the advantage of the beef
trust and the millerS' trust l had to
put myself against it," the colonel said

measure to influence the people against

Says He Already Has Over 500 Dele
gates.

Dayton. o.. May 16.-In the opin-
ion of Theodore Roosevelt. the cam
paign for the Republican nomination
for president has now been decided.
He dictated this statement last night:
1.-THE number of delegates necessary
to nominate IS $50. OF the delegates
already elected, without counting the
contested delegates, 1 have more than
500. OF the delegates yet to be elect
ed. I am confident l Will receive
enough to insure my nomination on
the first ballot
Colonel Roosevelt's claim was based
upon a table of delegates prepared by
his secretary. According to this cal
culation, there are nearly 500 dele
gates already elected and instructed
for Roosevelt, without including any
uninstructed or contested delegates.
Colonel Roosevelt said as he went over
the table that he was assured of
enough votes from the total of unin-
structed and contested delegates to be
able to state that of the delegates al

tending to rebut limitations that

Besides these Senator Smith, who con-
Quoted the inquiry, is anxious to Sc
cure the testimony of Mrs. P. A. B.
Widener and others regarding what
transpired at the dinner aboard the

Minaha of Grand Rapids, Mimi, de-
clared in one affidavit that as the pas
sengers We're being put into the life
boats the crowd was unruly and oil-
GERS were yelling and cursing at men
to stand back and let the women get
into the boats.
She claimed that as her life boat, No. II,
was being lowered, men jumped into it
at each deck until an officer threatened
to shoot the next man who jumped. Off
Ger Lowe continuously suggested their
singing Throw out the life line, and
That the best thing for you women to
do is to take nap Some of the women,
she said, implored Lowe~to divide his pas
sengers among the three other boats and
go back to the rescue His first answer
was, ''You ought to be damned glad you're
here and have got your own life After
some time he was persuaded to do as he
was asked
"As 1 came up to him to be transferred
to the other boat he shouted, Jump, damn
YOU, jump. The women thought he was
under the influence of LIQUOR Then he
took all of the men who had rowed No.

were number of carpenters working to

marked they would be of little use in case
