Smarting under the sting of the whip of the state Republican adminis- tration wielded skilfully by the hands of W. 0. Atkeson of the State Labor Bureau, the Bates county Republican convention, held in this city Satur- day, elected a Roosevelt delegation to the state convention with instructions to vote for Homer Mann for National Committeeman. The convention was a solemn af- fair, absolutely without manifesta- tions of enthusiasm, even upon the adoption of resolutions commending Republican leaders. Delegates were elected as follows: Congressional—Thad Harper, A. L. Fox, W. H. Deweese, W. A. Eads, B. F. Wix, Geo. Dowell, T. J. Hen- derson, Lee Green, J. C. Denton and Dave McCombs. State—Geo.

Atkinson, Assistant Attor- ney General announced Tuesday that he would not enter the race for the — Democratic nomination for Attorney General. Mr. Atkinson has been in charge of the Lumber Trust prose- cution and as there is much work yet to be accomplished to finish the suit, he feels that it is his duty to the state to complete this important piece of litigation rather than resign to be- come a candidate. The recall of Federal Judges by popular vote at presidential elections was proposed in the House Tuesday by Representative Taylor of Colorado, a Democrat, who introduced a bill for that purpose. The Federal Judge of any district, under the proposed bill, could be removed ‘‘on account of lack of good behavior.’’ There would be no specification as to the bad behavior of a Judge, but merely a refutation of good behavior. The voters, at the same time, could rec- ommend to the President their choice of a successor for the judge sought to be removed. It is reported from third-term head- quarters that Col. Roosevelt is to take up in his speeches some topics upon which he has not hitherto touch- ed. Having discussed everything from Irish sagas and the proper num- ber of children for a washerwoman with a worthless husband to univer- sal peace and the number of inches of solid meat over the heart of a cari- bou, it would be interesting to know just what those subjects might be. Can it be possible that the Colonel means to take up the tariff at last?— Republic. 2 is Sider.
