Theodore Roosevelt got nothinx--not

Stats convention which met here to-
day. and elected Delegates 70 the ma
tionsi convention In chicago.
BY contrast President Taft got
everything solid delegation. q

Roosevelt delegations from. several

heard from. the Taft delegations being
seated without protest.
The Taft leaders decreed that adj

only good Taft men got the tickets.

classes and the admiration of
the business interests of the
country.
1t was Mr.. Yoakum's early
ambition to span the prairies OF
Texas with railroads and in the
beginning of his career, he
mapped out a comprehensive
system of 5000 miles of rail-
road needed in Texas. which he
secretly determined to build. and
he has constructed over LOO
miles, but at the close of the
32nd Legislature announced that
he had grown weary of the task
and would soon retire from con-
struction work. Legislation
inimical to railroad investments
and public sentiment hostile to
the railroad industry are said to
be the reasons assigned for his
retirement from the field.

UNDevelOPeD RESOURCES
Old Texas Has Immense Amount
Of Undsveloped Territory Only
Waiting For Some One

The undeveloped resources of
Texas are so gigantic that it is
going to require big business
concerns to develop them. Our
IRON ore has slept in the hills Of
East Texas for centuries await
ing a fifty-milion-dollar invest
ment to set it in motion. We
have a hundred million acres OF
idle land awaiting 10000 miles
of new railroad to develop it and
industry languishes for want of
big financial institutions strong
enough to support it. 1t is only
these huge leviathans that can
carry our burdens over the
high seas Of industry.
The opening of the Panama
Canal will enlarge our possibili-
ties in commerce and Texas must
be up and doing or will miss
our place in civilization. The
hour of destiny is striking. Now
is the time.

weary of railroad building in
Texas and will retire from con-
struction work. 1t is said he
will devote special attention to
developing the agricultural in
terest and improving farm
methods along the lines of the
Frisco System and throughout
the State of Texas.
Col. Yoakum was born and
reared on a Texas farm and
began business by selling fruit
trees, and early in life he was
impressed with the greatness of
his native state and has done
more towards its industrial de-
velopment thon any other living
man.
A real empire builder and a
bold pioneer in civilization, Mr..
Yoaknm has demonstrated his
faith in Texas in many ways.
He has constructed new rail-
roads through uninhabited ter
ritory, converted grazing lands
into market gardens and has
backed vast reclamation pro-
jects, proving the possibilities
of irrigation with artesian and
river water.
The valuable assistance he
has rendered the farmers Of the
nation has won for him the
