Taft Of Ohio FOR VICE PRESIDENT JAMES S. SHERMAN The Taft Club has it's books open for the enrollment of new members, we want you all to join, all who wish to do so are invited to call at this office and enroll their names. We are vastly more interested in the Success of the National republican ticket than we are as to what boss will do the bossing at the republican county convention. And now that lives have been lost and property destroyed a city disgraced Mrs. Hallam says that Richardson was not the Man at all and Nero Still. Fiddles while Rome Burns Another big enterprise to be conducted by our people is the process of formation and will soon be open for business watch the Plaindealer and keep abreast of the times which stands for industry and progress. Rev. Osborne recieved a hearty welcome on his return even if he only came to pack up and go, A man like the Rev. who does things will always have the people with him wherever he goes regardless of the duration of his stay. Personally we like J. H. Carmichael but he has given our race no consideration and will oppose his nomination and election. He w to the line let the Chips fall where they may. And it is to be hoped that the republica n convention will act wisely in making the n nomiations. Jack Flannery has made an excellent officer as chief of police and would do equally as well as sheriff. Jack is popular and if nominated there would be no question of his election. The Hon W. T. Vernon register of the U. S. treasury has not only made a record in that position but as a leader has demonstrated his worth to the party and is in demand as a speaker and worker in parts of the country. The colored voters will not vote for the re-election of Carmichael and that settles it the convention had just as well nominate some one else if they expect to elect him. if the republicans are wise at their convention on Wednesday they will not put onto office any more cheap lily white republican for commissioner like the present chairman J. J. Hendson who was a party turning down one of the old pioneers of this county simply because of his color. As time flies it becomes apparent to the casual observer of things that our people in this city should get to get on a general proposition to procure a building for their public gatherings lodges and ect. No better opportunity is offered to do this than through the Afro American Building Association which was organized primarily with that object in view. The stock is now on the market and several propositions are in view. It is indeed very unfortunate for the party that a bitter factional fight has developed and it is high time that a suspension of hostilities be agreed upon. We advise our people to steer clear of the factions let them grind and sharpen their own axes when we grind they lose their tempos. Widespread interest is being stirred up over the rumor that President Roosevelt may conclude to appoint William H. Lewis, of Boston, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States to succeed Arthur W. Cooley, who recently resigned on account of ill health. Mr. Lewis has been Assistant U.S Attorney at Boston for a number of years, and his workhas been very satisfactory to the Department of Justice. He is a graduate of Harvard College, and is about thirty years. When at Harvard he was one of the greatest ball players on the varsity team, and was one of the strongest football players likewise. If President Roosevelt should decide to offer Mr. Lewis this appointment, he would give to the Negro race the most important office it has ever had under any administration. In certain contingencies, in the absence of the Attorney General, Mr. Lewis would become an acting head of the Department of Justice and have full charge of the vast legal machinery of the general goverment. Mr. Lewis es legal abilities are unquestioned and should the President find it expedient to override the possible objections that might be raised on the score of color, this appointment would go down in the history as the crowning act of his administration. Journal Salina Rev. and Mrs. Osborne after a weeks stay left for their new charge at Seattle on Wednesday evening while here their time was taken up with entertainments and receptions in their honor. Mrs. Jeff Hurrison gave a party on last Friday evening in honor of Miss Jennie Vouny and Miss Duvall who were about to leave for their home in Washington D. C. A delightful evening was spent at games and ect. After which light refreshments were served a feature of the evening were short addresses by several of the guets to the hostess and departing visitors and their responses all expressed regret at their going and hope or their return. Helena, Montana, Friday, September 11 POLITICAL DOPE EVERY BODY SHOULDT TURN OUT AND ATTEND THE PRIMAIES Cap. J. M. Adamson has made one of the most efficient officers that the county has ever had in that place has performed the duties of the same without fear or favor and merits the support of all the voters. For Clerk of the district court Albert T. Tibbetts is a candidate for the republican nomination he has been a resident of the county for nearly a score of years, alway been a stanch republican and a man who has worked in and out of season for republican success. He is thoroly competent and no doubt if nominated and elected he will make one of the best officials the County ever had he has a strong following and will no doubt make a strong race. Pursuant to a call issued by the editor of this paper the rooms of the Manhattan club on last Monday evening was filled to overflowing for the purpose of organizing a Taft club. The meeting was called to order by J. B. Bass he announced the purpose of the same and emphasized the importance of our people in this section getting into the game, after which he called on J. L. Ellis who spoke for the success of the National ticket As, als did W. D. Cole Joe Marshall, I. Hicks Spencer Smith, Sentor Merrill and others after which a permanent organization was effected with the following officers Dave Gordon president A. J. Walton Vice Pres. J. L. Ellis Secretary J. C. Brown Asst. J. B. Bass Treasurer. The Helena Colored band furnished music for the occasion and a stirring time was had it was one of the most successful political meetings ever held by the colored people in this City. Evidently the Hon. Leon Lacroix has not grown into any greater favor than he was two yeas ago. Judge Clements was the high runner in judgeship contest, before the democratic convention. Lawyer Odonell had that nomination for county attorney fairly won but Col Nolan and Odell Mc connell talked him out of it. Every body who talks politics are now waiting for the republican convention to meet before making their forecasts. County Atorney Heywood has made an enviable record in that office and some say that he will be promoted. The PLAINDEALER has always been a Heywood booster. All of the embryo politicians are now busy lining up to get the boys out and put their boss man in at the County Convention. Many manufactured leaders are now in evidence as a political contest looms up who have never before shown qualities for even a shadow of leadership. The colored republicans of Helena have the honor of forming the first Tait club in the entire West its a cold day when Helena is not there with the goods. Some of the wise are predicting T. B. Kirkendall as the nominee of the republican convention for sheriff. They all say that the republican will have to put up their strongest man to beat the wiley Martein. M. L. Higgins the village blacksmith is one of the leading candidates for the nomination of Sheriff. He is one of the old wheel horses of republican in this County and one who is with the common People and the colored voters could vote for him with an assurance that in the event of his election that they would at all times get at his hand a square deal. He made a splendid race for this position eight years ago and many of his friends think that he is fairly entitled to this nomination. If nominated by the coming convention there is scarcely a doubt of his election he solicits the support of all for the nomination and election. The Taft club had another rousing meeting at the Manhattan' club rooms on last Tuesday evening M. L. Higgins A. Tibbetts and Capt. Adams dropped in and addressed meeting speeches were made by J. R. Bass, J. L. Ellis Spencer Smith and other enthulism ran high more fifteen new names were enrolled for membership. BELLS DID RING Two weeks ago the PLAIN-DEALER gave it out that a wedding would soon take place and it hinted as to who the parties were. But on last Tuesday evening they came right out got their license and Rev. Osborne tied the knot making Jas. E: Ingram and Sarah Green man and wife. Mr. Ingram is one of our very excellent and inbustious young men and Miss Green since her coming to this city has made many friends by her kindly disposition.

SIXTH STATE FAIR The Mqntana State Fair of 1908 Septemder 28 October 3 will undoubtedly be the greatest in the history of the State. The institution is now six year old, and every fair has been better than its predecessor Greater effort is being put forth this year, than ever before, and general conditions are more favorable. The railroads of the state are co operating to the fullest extent, making a one fair ound-trip rate and a half rate on exhibits. While a great program of racing and attractious has been arranged, it may bestated that not a dollar of the state appropriation goes to the these features. All of the funds appropriated by the State are paid in premiums on live stock,gricultural, mineral and industrial exhibits by Montana people or placed in permanent improvements. Laist year the sum of 7,500.00 was paid premiums on exhibits. This money goes back to the people as an encouragement to improve their products id whatever line they may engage. The influence of the fair in widening the variety of agricultural products in Montana inestimable. In its encouragement of infant industries in Montan and such as poultry raising dairying by improved and economic methods, illustrations of crop rotation, and conservation, demonstrating that the fruit area of Montana is greater than was supposed the State fair has added hundreds of thousands of dollars to the production by the people of the state. The other reason for its great success lies in the fact that it has been kept close to the farmer and producer, following closely the lines of the great agricultural fairs of other states in which farmer and the stockgrower are the dominating spirits. Under the present management that policy will be maintain. The growth of the State Fair may be illustrated by the fact that in 1903 there were 1600 individual entrés by Montana exhibitors, while in 1907 there were more than 4800. The cash premiums were in 1903 less than $3,000 while in 1907 they aggreed $8,000. Mr. Copeland of Cincinnati, O. and Mr. J. C. Logan of Portland Oregon, is in our city on avisit.

Tommy pondered a while, then asked, "Papa, will little sister Gladys be an aunt to my children when I am a man?" "Yes, Tommy," answered his father, much interested. "Why do you ask?"
