Minn., as second class matter, SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Eaa ] JUST ABOUT WRIGHT. From all over the district come very flattering reports regarding the candidacy of B. F. Wright for dis- trict judge, and the outlook is at present very favorable for his nom- ination as the republican candidate for that position. Mr. Wright as an attorney has come to be generally recognized as exceptionally good council, well informed, able and conservative, and he is now at the period in life when his judgment is fully matured and when he can give the best service possible and the service necessary of a member of the district bench of Minnesota. His campaign is being conducted along lines strictly in keeping with the dignity of the position which he seeks, and he has no backing other than the kindly interest of friends. His campaign expenses will of neces sity be modest, and will, of course, be only along the most strictly legiti- mate lines. Of the candidates for his position Mr. Wright is the only one who has the unaminous endorse- ment of the bar of his home county, and added to this his candidacy received the endorsement of the republicans of the county in conven- tion assembled. The district at large be given no stronger assurance than these from the village and county where he has made his home for the past nearly twenty years.— Hubbard Co. Clipper. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc"] It is sometimes a mistake to take the conceit out of a man, unless you can put a sustaining pride in its place. When a politician sees a vacant office with a fat salary he begins hearing the call of duty even in his dreams. There is a difference between doing things you are sorry for and doing things that will make some body else sorry. Given a theory, long hair and a gift of using long words, and almost any man can make an easy living. : ELEVEN PERSONS HURT. Btorage Gas Plant at Blows Up.

Minneapolis, June 9.—One of the first acts of the Minnesota Prohibition convention was to send this message to the national convention of brewers in session at Milwaukee: “The Prohibition state convention of Minnesota, now in session, sends condolences to your association. Your business is doomed, as your outposts are now carried and the Prohibition army is about to move against your main body. The church and soclety has now declared and the state will soon say ‘the saloon must go.'” New Battleships Named. ‘Washington, June 9.—Secretary Metcalf has announced that the two new battleships authorized at the last session of congress will be named Florida and Utah, respectively. He sald that the next battleship author- ized would bear the name Wyoming. The name of the monitor Florida will be changed to that of some city in that state.

FIFTY HOUSES CARRIED OFF Ocoupants of Some of the Buildings Carried About for Hours at the Mercy of the Flood, but All Were Finally Rescued. Enid, Okla., June 8.—Enid faces the most disastrous flood in its history. Following six hours’ rainfall Boggy creek, running ihrough the city, wid- ened from twenty feet to 2,000 feet and fAooded practically the whole of Enid, carrying away houses, flooding stores and endangering lives. Water stood twelve feet deep in Main street, covering two blocks of the business center. Fifty houses were swept away and carrled down stream with the occupants, who had been driven to the roofs, shouting for help. Several fam- {lies floated about at the mercy of the flood waters and in the darkness all night. All were finally rescued at daylight. No fatalities are reported. The heaviest losers were the Enid Planing Mills company, whose ware- house, containing $10,000 worth of goods, was swept away, and the Alton Mercantile company, wholesale gro~ cers. The electric light plant is flood- ed to a depth of four feet, leaving the city without lights or street car serv- ice. Both daily newspapers were put out of business by lack of power. Many bridges were washed away. ELECTRIC CARS COLLIDE. Eight People Killed and Nearly a Score Injured. Annapolis, Md., June 8.—Eight dead and nearly a score badly injured is the toll taken by the second serious accident within two months on the Annapolis branch of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric rail- way, which occurred at a point be- tween Camp Parole and Bests Gate, two small stations about two and three miles from this eity. A special, carrying no passengers, from Annapolis for Washington, and a regular car from Baltimore for this city, well filled, while traveling at about thirty-five miles an hour, met head on on a curve, which prevented the motormen seeing each other’s cars until too late to avoid the catas- trophe. The road is a single track one on the Annapolis branch and a confusion or disregard of orders is said to have been the cause of the wreck. The dead are: William L. Norton, Baltimore; A. H, Schultz, Jr., Baltimore; J. W. McDaniel, Baltimore; George Green, Washington; James O’Neal of New York state, motorman of one of the wrecked cars; Policeman Shriber, employed by the railway company; Ruth Slaughter, aged thir- teen years, daughter of W. E. Slaugh- ter, general trafiic manager of the road, and Mrs. George W. Green of makes me so tired!—Illustrated Bits.

WILL APPEAL TO CONVENTION Charge That the “Roosevelt-Taft Ma- chine” Is Ignoring Them Entirely in the Hearing of Contests Now Be- ing Held by Committee. Chicago, June 8—Representatives of five states other than Ohio, which have candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, met here and announced that they will make a for- mal protest to the Republican national convention on the manmer in which they are at present, according to their opinjon, being ignored by the dom- inating elements in the Republican party. They assert that they have 126 elec- toral votes, which number lacks only 116 of being able to name & pres- ident of the United States, and that they “are being ridden down in the interests of states which can not fur- nish a single electoral vote to the Re- publican party.” 2 At the meeting were Messrs. Keal- ing, manager for Vice President Fair- banks; Humphrey, for Governor Hughes; McKinley of Illinols, man- ager for the Cannon cendidacy; Sen- ator Penrose and Representative Burke of Pennsylvania and Senator B SENATOR HEMENWAY. Hemenway of Indiana. They declared after the adjournment of their confer- ence that they consider the states which they represent as the backbone of the Republican party and “there- fore entitled to a respectful hearing.” They charge that the “Roosevelt- Taft machine” {s ignoring them en: tirely in the interests of the Southern states and declare that they will make a formal protest to the Republican nationgl convention in the interests of the party. They will continue their fight before the national committee, before the committee on credentials and irrespective of the results before those two bodies they will carry the nimt,lr upon the floor of the conven- tlon. CORTELYOU OR SHERMAN. New Yorker Favored for Second Place on Republjcan Ticket. Chicago, June 8,—The Republican national committee began its delibera- tions with a much smaller attendance of outslders and a far less apparent interest in the proceedings, o first eontest taken up was that of the dele- gates at large from Florida and this was followed by the -hearing of the evidence iy the gontests in the Second and Third Floride distripts. At the opening of the hearing in the case of the Floridg delegates at lagge J. N. Stripling, refresenting the anttTaft delegftss filed a protest againbt Frank H. H(tahcock, Arthur F. Statter and Charles G. Phelps, respec- tively manager and employes of the Taft headquarters. Mr. Stripling, in making his protest, declared that he made no charges of lack of integrity agalnst the three gentlemen, but said that he did not believe that men who were acting as magnager or employes of any one candidate could be in a proper frame of mind to do justice to eoptests in such states as had candi- dates of their own. The protest was tabled. It was said by a number of prom- inegt politicians who were gathered around the committee room before the work of the day commenced that sentiment on the vice presidential question seemed to be settling over i | New York, it being generally consid- ered that it would be wise for the party to take a man from that state. The two most promimently mentioned today in this connection were Secre- tary Cortelyou and Representative James E. Sherman, the chairman of She congressional committee, both of Whom are from New York. The Taft delegates at large from Florida and the Taft delegates from the Second district of Florida were seated by the national committee. On the call for the hearing in the oontest for delegates at large in Geor- gla the anti-Taft claimants failed to. appear and the Taft delegates were seated by default. The Taft delegates in the Righth and Eleventh Georgla districts were seated, the decision in the former be- ing on a vote by the committee and the others failing to appear. * Curious Book Titles. Curlous book titles are always being rediscovered, mostly from that prolific Period the commonwealth, when sanc- timony was supreme. Thus: “John’ Dances Better Than Peter; Peter Dances Better Than John; Both Dance Well” (a vicious attack on the Jesuits, in five volumes). “A Sigh For the Sinners of Zion, Coming From a Hole In the Wall, by an Earthen Ves- sel, Known Among Men as Samuel Fisher” (was this how taverns came to take the: sign of the “hole in the wall?")—London Scraps, UNABLE TO FILL CONTRAOTS Packers Alarmed Over the Soarcity of Eeef.- New York, June 9.—Beef packers throughout the United States and es- pecially in this section of the country are becoming alarmed over the great shortage in the beef supply. Since last wéek the price has risen from 1 to 2 cents per 100 pouids and the price is now around one-third greater than it was the first part of June, 1907. The sharp rise in prices is sald to be due entirely to the shortage in the supply of cattle in the market and already there is talk of having beef which was exported to England last winter shipped back to this coun- try in cold storage. As a matter of fact the export ot beef from New York is practically nil and the packers are not able to fill their contracts even with half of the the amount of beef they have engaged to ship. It is known that a number of the packers are letting their con- tracts go entirely by the board and are paying their freight rate contracts with the various steamship companies and keeping such meat as they have in this country, preferring to lose the rice of the freight rather than to lose he freight, together with being com- pelled to sell the meat in England at a much less sum than they pay feor it on this side. WITH DRAFT OF PLATFORM Attorney General Ellis of Ohio Re- turns to Washington. ‘Washington, June 9.—Bringing with him the completed draft of the plat- form which it is proposed to present to the committee on resolutions of the national Republican convention at Chicago Wade Hilis, attorney gen- eral of Ohio, returned from Virginia Beach and went direct to the war de- partment, where he was {n conference with Secretary Taft for some time. Both Secretary Taft and Mr. Ellis ‘were averse to making any statement regarding the platform, but it never- theless was definitely ascertained that aside from the enlargement of the tar- iff plank of the Ohio platform, so as to declare for maximum and minimum schedules and for a revision of the tariff at an extra session of congress immediately following the inaugura- tion, the platform to be presented at Chicago will be substantially the Ohio document. TWENTY-FIVE WERE KILLED Nebraska Tornado Worse Than First Reported, Omaha, June 9.—Reports from the scene of the recent storm in Southern Nebraska indicate that the conditions are even worse than at first reported. The death list will doubtless reach twentyfive or twenty-six, while the number of injured increases as details of the havoc wrought by the storm slowly becomes known. At least three of the injured are expected to die, while nearly fifty persons have re- ceived serlous injuries, some of them being dangerously hurt. The loss may reach $500,000. Eight Nebraska towns puffered from-the effects of the torna: do, Geneva, Fairfield and Carleton be: ing the worst wrecked. In addition te these Franklyn, Hebron, Shockley, Byron and Riverton were sufferers. On the Kansas side Courtland, Phil- lipsburg and Scandia were victims. Beimont Is Not So Well. New York, June 9.—Oliver H. P. Belmont, who has been ecritically ill with appendicitis at his country home at Hemstead, L. I, is not so well. He had a very hard nighgt, his physician said, and was weaker. There seemed to be little chance that he would survive through the dav.
