ROOSEVELT hackers
MEETING TO BE HELD IN MITCH
ELL MAY 10 IN EFFORT
TO SWING STATE FOR
COLONEL.

Mitchell, April 26.-Backers OF
Col. Roosevelt in South Dakota today
issued a call for a conference Of all
republicans favoring his nomination
by the Chicago convention TO be held
in Mitchell on May 10 with the
avowed intention of swinging the
state for him under the presidential
preference clause at the party pri-
mary on May 20.
Believing that the crisis in u
nations affairs demands that Theo-
dore Roosevelt be named as the re-
publican nominee at the Chicago con
vention." says the call, and desiring
that ways and means be devised for
bringing his name before the voters
at the presidential preference pri-
mary to be held May %, 1916. and
knowing that his friends and sup
porters are anxious to meet in con
vention in order TO further his candi-
dacy and convinced that he is the
party's logical candidate; we, the
Roosevelt presidential preference
committee, hereby give notice that a
May convention will be held at Mitch
ell. s. D., on Wednesday, May 10, at
2 O'Clock, OF Roosevelt supporters.
All friends Of Theodore Roosevelt are
urged to select delegates from each
county in the state to attend this, the
greatest convention of the year"

statesman may enter the list in the

only presidential candidate whose
name will be printed on the ballot
by virtue of being the only n whose
supporters filed their petition with
the secretary of state, has created a
political situation which il may take
the courts to unscramble.
Under the provisions of the amend
ment passed by the special legislative
session during the second week of
February, the names of presidential
candidates must be filed at least forty
days before the primaries in order TO
be passed upon by the voters in the
preferential clause of the primary
law. These anne are required to
be placed upon the ballot by a petit
ton of 2 per cent of the voters of the
party i'm the state. Under this condi-
ton, only the name of Senator Cum
Minis could come before the primary
electors.
However. the amendment also pro
vides that the ballot shall also be
printed so as to afford an opportu-
nifty for the person using the same to
express his choice of candidates for
president and vice president. Under
this section of the law the Roosevelt
supporters are confident that they
can write i'm the name of their can
didate. which would bring the col
onel's sombrero into the ring OF
South Dakota politics.

presidents, although vice presidents
have far less responsibility, but spend
much more time in Washington social
life than the presidents. 1t is also sug-
gested by the fact that the civil war
period. with its greater weight Of re-
sponsibility but more simple living,
showed a lower mortality than the pc
RODS preceding and following, with
less weight Of responsibility but less
simple living"
Professor Fisher said hat historically
there has been a progressive decrease
in those causes OF death consisting Of
infections which kill their victims
chiefly at the earlier ages, but a pro
gressive change for the worse in those
Il of death consisting of the wear
and tear diseases or degenerative dis
eases which kill their victims chiefly at
the later years.
These opposite changes" Professor
Fisher says, I'm the infectious and de

ages and, on the other hand. the non
Improvement and. in the case of Yale
graduates, even positive retrogression
In the mortality Of the older ages.
Again, they would explain the marked
exceptionally of the older ages in the
civil war period. For If it was plain
living which explained the low NOR
tality Of that period we should expect
the more marked influence of that fac
tor to appear just as it does. at the
older ages at which the wear and teal
mortality is chiefly registered.
THE damage to vitality which we
find in public life Is not, therefore, put
forward as nm argument against enter
ing public service, nor Will a knowl-
edge of the facts probably tend in that
direction, certainly not among those
who place public interests above per-
sonal interests. as every public man
should. But knowledge is power. and
a knowledge Of the facts should enable
us TO protect our public men or enable
them to protect themselves and to do
SO in the public interest. This can be
accomplished by better general health
conditions in the country ami its cap
ital. by better health customs and hab-
Its, by better ideals and by a more sys-
tematic application of the perfect ideals
already existing
In connection with the lives of the
presidents of the United States. Pro
fessor Fisher says.
THE longevity Of each president is
reekoned from the date Of Inaugural
tion-that is. from the time Of his first
being president. Thus Washington be-
came president at the age of fifty
seven, when the expectation Of life.
according to the American experience
table. was sixteen years. He actually
lived, however. only eleven years in
stead of the sixteen. John Adams. on
the other hand, lived after Inaugural
ton Twenty-Five years. which was two
and three times his expectation OF thir-
teen years."
