CHICAGO, June 7.-Hilles called
the convention to order at 1l.28. The
immense throng sang America. Rev.
John Stone of Chicago invoked the
divine blessing. Harding was electe,i
Temporary chairman. Twenty min
utes before he commenced speaking
the Coliseum was not half full. The
delegates were seated without ban
ners, the large delegation occupying
the front seats.
HARDING'S ADDRESS
At 11:47, Harding commenced his
keynote address. Until his oratory
warmed up the audience there was no
enthusiasm. His eloquent plea for
a navy that would fear none in the
world, and his declaration that our
country was not too proud to fight
was enthusiastically applauded. Hi
slap at President Wilson's foreign
policy and his note writing was loud
ly cheered.
HARDING'S PLEA HEEDED
In adopting the rules of the 1903
convention the Republicans followed
Harding's harmony plea. Smoot and
Harding explained the 1912 rules lei
to the Progressive split.
Preceding the convention Smoot
said, 81 would like to see the Pro.
grcssives nominate Roosevelt We
win be glad to get rid of the Pro.
gressive radicals. The others would

TOPICS DISCUSSED
IN THE COLISEUM
Old Guards still continue in control.
Hughes has good prospects for the
lead on the first ballot, but the all-
ance of favorite sons claim thrice
Hughes strength. Borah has with
drawn from the race.
The principle topics discussed are
the respective prospects of Hughes
and Roosevelt. The concensus of
opinion is the Bull Moose will nom
mate third ticket, but this is un-
certain, with both sides trying to
unite, and informal peace negotia-
tions constantly in progress. Per
kins is prepared to block any attempt
to nominate Roosevelt in the audi
torium until the peace effects between
the two parties are completed. The
radical Progressives plan to block a
permanent compromise unless the Re
publicans accept Roosevelt and his
platform.
1t is rumored that Borah telephon-
ed Roosevelt, offering him the privi
lege of debating the Republican plat
form, if he would support Hughes.
Lodge, who is the dominating fig
ure in the resolutions committe, is
trying to insert the following planks:
Universal training; protecting Amer
Jeans abroad; women's suffrage; pro-
tective tariff and others. Fall will
demand Intervention in Mexico.

In Attempt To Relive John
Key of His Hard Earn.
ed Cash.

John Key, Morrow county farm
hand, was not the easy victim that
he might have appeared to Gentle
man Jack" DE Monte, Chicago Pete
or what other name he may be known
by. Last night John went to bed in
the Palace hotel and left the door
open for his roommate, Bob Allstott
and had not yet fallen asleep, when
the door opened and in stepped Jack
with big revolver in his hand.
According to young Key, De Monte
walked toward him, with the gun
pointed straight at him. Key jump
ed from the bed. and as he did so,
De Monte struck him a glancing blow
on the head with the gun. Key says
he grabbed the gun with one hand
and his assailant's throat with the
other hand. They rolled over on the
floor, the blood streaming from the
wound in Keys head. All this time
Key was yelling loudly and his out
cries brought several dodgers to the
room. The boys we're separated, the
deputy sheriff, Willard Herren was
called and DeMonte was taken up to
the county Jail. Key washed the
blood from his face, bound up his
head and went back to bed.
John Key is an Industrious young
fellow and had been working all sum-
mer at the Robert Allstott ranch on
Eight Mile. Yesterday Mr.. Allstott
brought Key to town, paid him his
wages and Key had intended to leave
this morning for his old home in Mis-.
souri,. However. he will be detained
here until DeMonte has been given
preliminary hearing.
DeMonte Is little known here, 9th.
er than that he has been staying al
the Palace hotel, hanging around
pool halls, promoting wrestling
matches and singing In the choir al
one of the local churches ON Sunday
Key had cashed his check yester.
day and all his summer earnings
of more than 5000 we're under the
pillow of his bed. DeMonte and Key
had become acquainted some time be.
fore. DeMonte's excuse is that he got
into the wrong room through mis-.
take.
A young fellow by the name Bran
non from Hardman complained to the
night clerk yesterday morning that
lie had been relieved of four dollars
Tuesday night but no serious thought
was given to the matter. Now there
is some inclination to connect Bran
mons story up with the procedure OF
last night.

Mrs. Ruth Adkins teaches the
school in District No. 80. The pu-
pills Of District No. 80 attend this
school under contract between the
two districts. This makes a larger
school and enables the districts to
provide longer term without extra
expense. One of the pupils of this
school, Martha Buschke, won a trip
to the Corvallis summer camp for
girls as premium for her sewing
work which was sent to the State
Fair. The pupils of this school are
working enthusiastically with the
teacher to make the school a stan
dard school.
In District No. 8, Miss Catherine ].
Doherty is the teacher. Nine pupils
are enrolled. A tax has been voted
to build new school house. The
pupils have bought sufficient equip
ment to enable them to have a hot
lunch at noon. The plan is proving
very satisfactory. One of the pupils
brought to the school house fine
sample of broom corn. There is no
doubt that this county can produce
superior quality of broom corn.
Mr.. Aaron Agee, who raised the corn,
has manufactured quite a stock of
brooms this fall
Miss Lillian Troedson is again in
charge of the school in District No..
16. The enrolment is seven. Wat
er is kept on the stove. A new water
jar has been provided. A new ency-

The Cecil school is under the di-
rection of W. H. Grant. The en-
rollment is nineteen. The lighting
of this school is good, the light being
admitted from the left and rear of
the room, and the windows are pro-
vided with tan canvas adjustable
shades. The heating and ventilat-
ing are accomplished by a patent
heating plant. Two fine framed pic
lures are on the walls. The water
supply is furnished by a bubbler
fountain. This school has con-
venient library room. The library
is we'll kept. A new encyclopedia
has been added recently.
The State Teachers Association
