%cularly the rivers of South Dakota.
The big expense of maintaining great

The convention took a stand for the
election of delegates to the national
party conventions on the basis OF the
republican vote cast by the state,
Demand is made for the cooperation
of citizens to have the state govern
ment run on economical and efficient
methods. Favor is extended to legis'
Iation calculated to promote agricul
tural development and improve the
conditions of the farmer.
The faction pledges itself to strictes1

Uncle Sam get the money and
how does he expend it?

tie light on this subject begin

the right of-way in both houses.
l will explain each bill as it

are being practiced.

Washington Letter,
Ry Edward Heating.
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.

eruor CT Ohio, and late ambassa-
dor to Franco. His boom Was
formally launched when he re
turned from Paris few days ago
and it is being assidous'y pro-
uoted by lavish expenditure OF
money and aoroit press ageN
work.
In last weeks letter l pointed
out that the War party, which
has apparently gained control Of
,he Republican organization had
formulated the principal plank for
The Republican platform in the
campaign in 19iG. and that if the
ijn21cs had their way this coun-
try would be permanently COM
niy,.d to militarism, with all its
attendandant waste of men and
money. Subsequent develope-
ments FULLY sustain that prophesy.
Every Republican leader VINO
has delivered a speech in or out
of Congress during the last two
weeks has. to use the picturesque
lau~uage of ''Marse Henry
Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier Journal, wrapped the
flag around him, marched down

pistols and died like like sor-of-

IN NEED OF A HERO.
There has been a sameness
about these performances which
has betrayed their common orr
gin. They are all parts of the
Republican campaign which is to
eliminate in the election of 1916.
A war party could not be
success without having Hero
for its leader. Thanks to Wood
row Wilson, this country is at
peace with the world, so the War
party could not find its ''hero'
among our naval or military men.
Consequently it was compelled to
pick up Eerrick, who had the
distinction Of being, the only Re-
publican diplomat on duty in the
war zone when hostilities began.
In Londo , Berlin, Vienna, Rome
Constantinople and the other
capitals of the warning nations,
Democrats represented this coun-
try.
They were confronted by the
same problems that engaged the
attention of Ambassador Herrick
in Paris, and the testimony Of
thousands of grateful refugees
shows that they met those prob
lens with tact, ability and cour-
age.
The fact is that Minister Brand
Whitlock at Brussels and Ambas-
sador Gerard at Berlin occupied
positions which were even more
trying than that of Herrick at
Paris. This is particularly true
Of W hitlock who served as a buff
fer between the unfortunate Bel
eian p, ople and the German in-
vaders.
Whitlock and Gerard would be
grea y amused if some one were
to attempt to hang a hero's med
al on them or present them to the
country as candidates for the
presidency. Herrick, If permit
ted to have his way. would pur-
sue the same course, but the War
party will not listen to that. He
is being assured that he must
lend himself to these mock hero

CLEVELAND AFTER CLUB

James A. Gilmore. president Of the
Federal League. and E. r. Gates,
secretary Of the league, held a long
conference yesterday with M. +.
Bramley. who hopes to Secure a Fed
eral League franchise for Cleveland.
The conference. held in the Forest
City. was kept as secret as possible.
No one was admitted to the room.
At the close Of the meeting, Gilmore
declined TO discuss the possibilities
Of Cleveland holding Federal League
berth this year, but he would moi
emphaticaliy deny that il would. All
that Bramley would say was: We
are still flirting with the Federal
League"
Gilmore was free enough in discus
sing general matters concerning the
Federal League.
If I rated our present financial
strength ar $4,000. 900 I would not be
far from the truth" said he. we
started the proposition with deter
minatlon to carry 1t out and we are
going to succeed. We are planning
not only for this year and next, but
far into the future. It will be a fight
to the finish"
Aked when he intended to publish
the names of the Federal League
players, Gilmore said he would not
publish all the names at once. but
in patches of about twenty each, in
order to furnish as much excitement
as possible.

river near Red Bank yesterday. Both

racing when the seven starters were
sent away by Edward Willis for the
first race. The triangular course be-
gan at the home stake in Boyd's Cove
from where the racers sped to
a stake in Blanchard's Cove and
then around stake opposite the
steamboat dock and back to the home
stake. There were exciting moments
when the yachts were lifted on one
runner by the wind, but Apologize
managed to hold his boat to the ice
and came home a winner in Is min
utes and As seconds.
In the second race a strut under the
runner plank of the Fight parted, and
that yacht and the Nip did not finish.
The time was a little slower than in
the first contest, but the race between
the two leaders was even more ex-
citing The order of finish:
First race, six miles-Won by Henry
Applegate's Vim, time IS minutes 40

Carpenter is appearing in vaudeville,

America, but, as he is only twenty

scoring being pretty evenly divided.

TENER HAS POWER
TO GUST MURPHY
National League Joins American
in Fighting Unpopular
Owner of Cubs.
CHARLEY MAKES CHARGES

I
Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania,
president of the National League,
has been clothed with absolute au-
thority to settle the case of Charles
W. Murphy. of the Chicago Cubs.
Within the last forty-eight hours
| Governor Tener has received positive
assurance of support In whatever ae-
ton he may take in the case of the
belligerent Murphy from H. n.
Hampstead, of the New York club;
| C. H. Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club;
]. E. Gaffney. of Boston; W. F.
Baker, of Philadelphia; Barney Drey-
fuss. of Pittsburgh; 5. P. Britton. of
St Louis, and August Hermann, of
| Cincinnati.
In view of the fact that Ban john
son, backed by the American League,
declared war on Murphy last week,
Murphy now stands absolutely with
out support in the ranks of organ
ized baseball His colleagues, includ-
ing Hampstead and Ebbets, have
turned against him, and it is believed
that serious trouble is in store for
him.
Murphy stin Talking.
Charles W. Murphy, president of
the Chicago National League Base
ball Club, today said he had no fear
that Ban Johnson, president of the
American League. would act on his
suggestion for breaking the national
agreement. Johnson's enmity. Muir
ply said, was based on Murphy's re-
fusal to waive a section of the Ma
tional agreement which gives any
club the right TO refuse permission
for an outside league to establish a
club within five miles of a city in
which it is located.
When the Cantillons bought the
Chicago property, which now is the
home of the Federal League, it was
purchased 1t was said, for the pur-
pose of putting an Association team
into Chicago. This deal did not go
through because of Murphy's objec-
tons, the Cub owner said tonight.
johnson puts me out of baseball
at nearly every meeting he attends, .
said a statement by Murphy. He
puts me out of baseball four or five
hand, and l suppose he will continue
to do so. The speciality of Johnson
is trying to stir up trouble in the
National League.
johnson tried to get an interest
in the Cubs in 1905 when I bought
the team. He asked August Herr
mann to supply $4,000. The letter
asking for money was written to
John E. Bruce, and have a copy
of it.
"Johnson's own league is tired of
his tyranny. l am personally ac-
quainted with all the presidents of
the American League clubs and they
all understand his tactics. His con-
slant aim is to put the National
League on the defensive by pretend
ing to have a grievance of some
kind"
John R. Walsh, the former Chicago
banker, owned the Chicago club in
1905, and was said to have put it on
the market in an emergency. He is
said to have offered the Cubs to
Johnson, and 1t is believed that the
correspondence Murphy referred to
was in connection-with this deal.
