If the circulation goes be- m:d this pojint, it is worth ile for the advertiser to learn why. In the case of THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL the explanation will be remarkably obvious.

Big Boss Murphy Reveals that He is Still on Deck Conners Allowed to Retain Chairman- ship Two Months on Retracting Charges Against Tammany. ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. %.—William J, Con- ners made good his prediction that he would still be chalrman of the democratic state committee after its meeting yesterday. In saving his political scalp, however, he lost most of his hair. Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany chieftain, whose complete must- ery of the situation was realized by no one better than by Conners himself, granted the Buffalo leader a brief political reprieve In the Interest of party harmony, after Con- ners had agreed to resign in April and to repudiate his recent harsh statements con- cerning Mr. Murphy and the alleged auc- toning of judgeship In New York, which he declared were the result of his “infirm- ities of temper” and were unjustified in tact. Chalrman Conners was re-elected for a two-year term on April 17, 1908. He an- nounced at the meeting today that “un- der no conceivable circumstances would he be a candldate for re-election.” “The office of chairman,” he said, “is a thankless and difficult job anyway,” and he desired to give more time and atterilon to his family and to his business than he had been able to do since he accepted the responsibilities of leadership four years ago. He promised, however, to work hard to up- hold the hands of his successor and to ald in restoring the democratic party to power, Today's meeting lasted less than fifteen | mirutes. After the compromise, which was arranged at a personil conference between Chairman Conuers and Leader Murphy, all fear of a clash at the meeting vanished Threo resolutions were adopted as the meeting adjourned. ‘The first was In favor of a federal in- :ome tax; the second placed the committee n record as favoring the direct primary bills introduced by Senator Grady and As- | semblyman Frisble; the third declared the republican party won the last national elec- tion upon the platform pledging it specifi- cally to revise the tariff downward, but that In spite of that pledge “‘the recent re- vision has in no way removed from the ulders of the great mass of the people burden of indirect taxation." | SIXTY MILES OF ROAD ARE BLOCKED BY SNOW/| Avalanches Cover Line of Sound Line Through Part of Montana.

Nebraska Shoe and Clothing House, cor. 25th and N Sts. ’Richards Makes Sout hDakotans Do as He Desires Progressive Faction Makes Him Vessey’'s Campaign Manager ‘to Save Themselves. HURON, 8. D, Feb. 25.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Following a bitter battle on the floor of the conference lasting until mid- R. O. Richards was placed in the saddle by the progressives of South Dakota yesterday as the chairman of the cam- palgn for Governor R. S. Vessey, while the Richards resolutions, as reported by a minority committee were accepted only in part. 1 The fight on the floor was spectacular. With the knowledge on the part of many that Richards would be out as a candidate for governor, If he lost the fight as a goad to drive them to the last ditch in the attempt to secure harmony, and with bitter personal fights urging the Richards opponents to fight him as a czar, the bat- te proved a gruelling one. R. L. Senn led the Richards opponents, while C. H. Dillon was the leader in the fight for Richards. The resolutions and the organization committee each entered two reports. On the organization committee report the big fight was made. Thomas Thorson favored electing Richards chairman and this propo- sition passed by a vote of 91 to 7. Then Richards took the floor and congratulated them on thelr work and accepted Gov- ernor Vessey, extending “the right hand of ellowship' as an indication that he bowed to the will of the majority. The resolutions endorse Taft, but take & positive stand against Cannon and Ald- rich They state ‘The dominant issue in the coming campalgn is the wresting of control of national legisiation from speclal Interests entrenched behind Speaker Cannon of the house and Leader Aldrich of the senate and their supporters. It is not sufficlent that Speaker Cannon be re- tired. It is essentfal that a successor be elected who is committed to and Is a sup- porter of progressive principles and that there bo a revision of the rules which will take from the speaker his arbitrary power to direct and control all legisiation. The progressive republicans of South Da- kota will support candidate for con- gress In the coming primary who does not stand unequivocally on this platform and whose record is not such as to warrant credence in his professions.'
