They believe that had this been done n
real contest would have been held in
Oregon that would have decided some
thing. instead OF mere dcmonstra-
tion Of what nearly everybody already
knew that the people are not taking
Che favorite sons seriously.
The report here that the Roosevelt
men IN Oregon had supported Cum
minis was not credited by the CoioneIs
friends.
"Cummns and Roosevelt are such
different types" said one prominent
member of the House who IS strong
for the Colonel. that | do not think
10 would be possible for the Roosevelt
leaders 10 have thrown the normal
Roosevelt vote to Cummins. While on
some few questions they agree, both
being Progressives. they make an en-
trely different appeal. and are Tar
apart on some Of the vital isues.'
Surprised at Hughes's Strength.
on the other hand, some of the old
line leaders were surprised that
Hughes should have beaten Cummins
BY such a large vote. While not re-
garding Cummins seriously in connec-
tion with the Republican nomination
they had always assumed that he was
strong in the West Cummins, how
ever. has now beaten two rival csndi-
dates. Burton and Henry Ford. which
is more than any other favorite son has
done
Among the cold guard" generally
there was either an intense silence
which characterized those who ate
secretly hoping that Root or some one
else whom they want may be nomi-
mated or there was a loud boast that
the results in Oregon had demon
strated the inevitableness of hughes
nomination. The latter group is recon
ciled to the prospect that Hughes must
be nominated, undesirable as he may be
10 them, if Roosevelt is to be headed
off. Because they still have the hor-
rid spectre of Roosevelt before their
eyes they are anxious for demonstra
tions OF the justices strength, to
which they can point to the delegates
under their command as an evidence
that Hughes will sweep the country.

Burton and Cummins. Of Ohio and

oblivion so far as the convention IS
concerned in yesterdays contest are
admittedly the strongest of the favor
ite sons. Each Of them has gone fur
Their on the demonstration Of strength
than Weeks. Sherman, Fairbanks,
Brumbaugh. and. so far as the count
Of delegates is concerned, than Root.
Neither Of them has the strength Of
Root in being the real first choice OF
so many oldline Republican leaders.
and il is said by close friends that as
a result of secret work Weeks might
be able 10 muster more delegates after
few ballots than either. But among
the favorite sons who have gone out
with a blare Of trunpets to round up
delegates Burton and Cummins were
far in the lead. Now both have been
pulverized by the inability of Justice
Hughes. under the law of Oregon, to
get mis- name off the ballot.
All of this shows. in the opinion of
politicians here, how absurd the pri-
mary, contests so far have heen in that
they have not permitted a test of
strength between any of the real can
didates for the nominstion-Hughes
Roosevelt and Root.
Say I. X. Missed Chance.
The Roosevelt men. commenting on
the primary to-day, bewailed the tim
idity of some of the Roosevelt leaders

the Colonel on the ballot there despite
his own expressed wish against it..

SPECIAL ELECTION THERE Is
HoTLY CONTESTED AND ENDS
IN SO TO Al VOTE.

Fairfield, March 6-At special
election held Friday in Libertyville
It was decided to incorporate the town.
The proposition which has been voted
on several times before was hotly con-
tested and the result could not be fore
told until the ballots were counted.
There were 101 votes cast, Al against
and IS for incorporating. Two ballots
were spoiled in marking.
Libertyville Is one Of the Oldest
towns In Jefferson county as we'll as
one OF the most prosperous. The mat
Tor OF the incorporation Is due to q
number OF i've, progressive young
business men who are anxious to see
Libertyvills secure some of the I'M
provoments and advantages to which
4 town Of its size is entitled.
With the excellent school system
which Libertyville already has, II the
town was supplied with electric lights
and similar municipal advantages 1t
would prove a great advantage to
those people desiring to live In rural
community and yet be within I'VE
miles Of Fairfield, the county seat.
This action leaves but three VII
lagos OF any size in Jefferson county
which are not incorporated. They
are East Pleasant Plain, Glasgow and

MATCH FOR TITLE
ENDS IN A DRAW
TITUS OF IOWA AND EDWARDS
OF MISSOURI WREsTLE
NEARLY TWO HOURS.

Centerville, March 6.-After an hour
and forty-five minutes of the hardest
kind of wrestling the match that was
expected to decide the Iowa Missouri
championship was declared a draw
here Saturday night. Grover Titus of
Des Moines defended the Iowa claim
and Bill Edwards of Kansas City, Mo.
The match was refereed by one of
the great wrestling promoters of the
country, Oscar Thorson Of Des Moines.
Titus by defeating Joe Kitterman, the
Hedrick blacksmith at Des Moines
last month, secured the Iowa lead.
Edwards has thrown all corners in
Missouri. In recent matches here and
at Mystic with Bert Shaw, Edwards
was the winner Shew had also been
thrown by Kitterman, in their last
to get one fall.
The match Saturday night was
characterized by the strong offensive
Of Titus from the very start. It look
ed for while as If he might rush Ed
wards to fall, but it was soon seen
that the Missouiran had endurance and
that he could not be held to the mat.
Titus used the scissors on him time
after time, always to have it broken
before the critical moment arrived.
When Titus began early in the match
to rough up Edwards about the face
considerably Mayor Campbell and the
chief of police stepped onto the mat
and informed the wrestlers that what
ever the rules of the game might be
there would be no rough work in this
match and from that time on little
rough tactics were used. When the
men had wrestled an hour and thirty
five minutes 1t was announced that
they had agreed to call it a draw If
neither got fall in the next ten min
utes. After the match Titus weighed
1873 Edwards ITO.
The preliminary was a match be-
tween Celia Seals and Albert Burgess,
local wrestlers. They wrestled thirty
minutes without fall and called it a
draw.
