WOMAN ELEGTED PRESIDENT Crookston School Board Finally Elects Mrs. Loring as Head. Crookston, August 18.—(Special to the Pioneer)—After three dead- lock meetings the Crookston school board organized yesterday afternoon electing Mrs. Charles Loring president, and re-electing F. R. Hamel treasurer ard Edward Peter- son clerk. All differences were apparently buried and a considerable amount of routine business was dis- posed of harmoniously. The decision of the progressives to switch from G. S. Chesterman for president to Mrs. Loring was to avoid any criticism that might bave been made to the effect that Crook- ston’s first experimeut in placing ladies on the school board had re- sulted in factional differences on the board, which if allowed to go to far might result in less efficient schools. It is belicved now that what looked like a disagreeable and disastrous situation had been successfully dis- posed of. Nebish Town Warrants Payable.

EASTERN PRESS AROUSED Orthodox Republican Papers Depre- cate Action of “Old Guard” in Turn- ing Down Former President and Look for Further Friction in Party as the Result—Colonel Uses Word “Progressive” in Statement Issued. ‘Washingten, Aug. 18. — Official ‘Washington is very much upset over the action of the “old guard” in New York in rejecting the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt to be temporary chairman of the Republican state con- vention. The fear is expressed here that it will force a political declara- tion from Mr. Roosevelt and the lead- ers in Washington are apprehensive that before many months have passed it may result in a split between the president and the former president. The belief is quite generally enter- tained in Washington that Mr. Roose- velt is in sympathy with the progres- sive cause ‘throughout the country. The progressive cause has his support in New York. It is significant that in his statement given out after the meeting of the Republican state com- mittee he employed the word “pro- gressive” for the first time since his return to the United States. Whether he wishes it or not Mr. Roosevelt is bound to take an active part in politics in the near future. The *“old guard” in his own state has given him the defi and he has accept- ed the challenge. The chances are that he will be present as delegate i the Republican convention to be held in Saratoga in September. There may be lively developments before the con- vention is held. The “old guard” has the right to propose the name of a temporary chairman in the conven- tion, but the nomination is subject to confirmation by the convention itself. Vice President Sherman will go to Saratoga with the nomination, but it remains to be seen whether he will be made the choice of the Republic- ans of the state as represented in the convention. The Eastern press is very much wrought up over the Roosevelt inci- dent in New York. Some of the New York papers, notably the Sun and the ‘World, are very much elated over it. The Tribune, orthodox Republican, de- precates the course of the old guard. The Tribune believes that it means a fight to the finish and, at the finish, it looks for the elimination of the old guard. USES WORD “PROGRESSIVE” Roosevelt Issues Statement Concern. ing Turn Down by Committee. New York, Aug. 18.—Colonel Roose- velt issued the following statement re- garding his rdjection as temporary chairman of ' the coming Republican state convention by the Republican state committee: “To the various persons who asked me whether I would accept the posi- tion of temporary chairman of the state convention I said that I would do so onmly if they were sure, after knowing my attitude, that they desired me, because my speech would be of such a character that it might help if the convention nominated the right kind of a man, on a clear cut progres- sive platform; but that it would hurt It neither the right kind of a man were nominated nor the right kind of a plat- form adopted.” TO ALLOT BERTHOLD LANDS Part of Reservation Will Be Opened Next Year.
