Voters Prefer Taft

setts emerged today from her hrst

The democratic voters Of the state
expressed a preference for Speaker
Clark, although the majority of dele
gates to Baltimore will be pledged
to Governor Foss.
Peculiarly Of the Law.
Just how Massachusetts could send
an evenly divided delegation to Chica-
go, while on the preference vote Taft
had a plurality of 5000 over Roose-
welt, is partly explained by the word.
ing of the presidential preferential
primary law enacted two months aga
BY that law every voter, to nave his
vote recorded, is compelled to MAJ
each delegate at large to his, part
there being no circle for voting b5k
groups. The law enables hundreds
of voters to mark eight names In
delegation headed by G. G. Baxter,
and styled "for Roosevelt" And then
express their preference for Taft on
another part of the ballot. Another
incident which some say may have
had a bearing on the election OF the
Roosevelt delegation at large with
Taft the preferential, was the sand-ss

Lily Lamb Bryant

Lily Lamb was born in Fl. Scott,
Kan., August TO- 1865, and moved to
Butler, NO., with her parents, A. H.
Lamb and wife, while an infant.
Here she grew to womanhood, was
educated in the Butler public schools
and was member of the first class
graduating from the Butler high
school; was one of the best teachers
in Bates county. She was married
to Charles H. Bryant June 26, 1890.
To this union were born eight chill
dren, six dying in infancy. Two,
Mary Francis, aged Is, and Edwin
Harvey, aged 9, survive her. She
also mothered two children, Joel H.
and Maggie H., whom she and her
husband adopted.
Mrs. Bryant united with the Meth
odist church at the age of nine years,
later uniting with the Christian
church in which faith she died Aug
ust 8, 1912. She had been in failing
health for two years and had been
confined to her bed since January 4
of this year. She was a most patient
sufferer, waiting for the summons,
"Child, come home.
Mrs. Bryant's life was one of the
most beautiful, that of devoted wife
and mother. She was an earnest
Christian and on every suitable oc-
casion her voice was heard in the
Masters cause. She was continually
doing good in her quiet, unassuming
way, and her influence was always
for righteousness and purity of life.
She will be greatly missed, not
only by her relatives, who have the
sympathy of the entire community
in their sorrow, but by her many
friends who knew and loved her.
The memory of her beautiful life will
help us all live nearer the Master,
knowing that after while we may
follow her to that home where part
ings are no more.
The funeral service was conducted
at the Christian church at Ohio by
H. f. Carpenter. Interment in West
field cemetery in ST. Clair county,
where they have resided for the past
five years. A FRIEND.

ing; milk production, testing milk,
cream and butter; dairy bacteriology;
creamery buttermaking and ice cream

LaFollette Says His Mail is Spied
Upon by Officials.

Washington, D. c., Aug. l2.-The
Senate to-day, after five hours work
on the postoffice appropriation bill,
reached an agreement to vote on the
measure at o'clock tomorrow.
Discussion of the bill was enlivened
late in the day when Senator La
Toilette was speaking on a House
provision, granting to employees of
the postal service the right to
organize, deliberately charged the
officials of the postoffice department
with rifling his mail in an attempt to
delve into an investigation he was
making into the postal service.
The Wisconsin senator declared
that his mail had been subjected to
an espionage that is almost Russian in
character" and he showed to the
senators bundle of letters which he
said had been tempered with.
