A Topeka Kanaan Who is Traveling in the Orient Tells of That Land. Paris, France, July 25th, 1912. Editor Flaindealer; I will again ask for space in your great paper to tell its readers of a few of the sights and scenes in the places I have visited since I reacheed this great city. As I looked from the tower of Eiffel which is 984 feet high, I decided that Paris was a small world. Eiffel tower is the highest structure in the world. One can see fifty miles away, and the large buildings looked like toys. The city is beautiful—many wide streets with rows of trees on either side and flowers in between; many beautiful parks, the Tuileries especial, occupying eighty acres. It is in front of Palais Du Louvre, where the kings used to live when France was a kingdom. The building would cover about eight of our blocks and is now used for a museum. One of the most beautiful things in it is a picture of "The Wedding at Cana." It is the largest easel picture in the world. I was the one colored in a party of thirty-five, but I did not realize the difference in the manner of treatment, as the French people do not know how to draw the color line until they get to America and are taught by our white countrymen. We went to "Madeline Cathédral;" Are De Triomphe, which Napoleon began to erect; the new Grand Palais, Alexander's Bridge, Chapelle Expiatoire, a place where 10,000 people's ashes are laid, a place no larger than a common yard, and Napoleon's Tomb. I would like to describe this place, but space will not permit. I can not begin to name all the places of importance I have visited, but Napoleon's tomb impressed me more than any other, being the most beautiful I ever saw. Quite a number of colored people are here, mostly from the Congo, and are very wealthy. We stopped in one of the swell hotels and I did not know any difference as I was treated as the rest of the guests--no side table off in the corner. I sat at the first table I came to and had the best of everything. Binic, France, August 4th. I am now on the beach, about 500 smiles from Paris, and a lovely place it is. The hotel we are at is only a little distance from the ocean, and the children and I go there to gather up the beautiful shells. It is a fine view to stand on the porch and watch the tides come in. Then everybody goes in swimming. I have not yet ventured, though I am a strong Baptist, and shall have to get better acquainted with the Atlantic Ocean. We will be here four or five weeks. Anyone desiring to write to me may address to Binic, France, Hotel "De La Plage." I would be glad to hear from those to whom I have sent cards and all others who may choose to write, as every word is a comfort, as everybody here speaks French and I can't understand them, and can talk to but few people. I am enjoying good health. I hope to receive a copy of The Plaindaler. JUNCTION CITY, KAN.

Descriptive of Scenes and Events in the Early Days When the Hearts of Liberty Lovers Were Sorely Tried! Some history of Kansas during the Free State Period and of the State University at Lawrence and of Amos A. Lawrence, after whom the City of Lawrence was named and of Gov. Robinson in connection therewith. CHARLES ROBINSON AND THE KANSAS EPOCH. Quotation from a speech of President Taft. "There are no greater heroes in our country than Eli Thayer and Amos A. Lawrence of Massachusetts and Charles Robinson of Kansas." Next to the revolutionary period the Kansas epoch furnishes the chapter of importance and absorbing interest in the history of our country. The creation of Kansas Territory was a political expedient undertaken and exploited at the instance of southern statemen for the purpose of restoring between the free states and the slave states the equilibrium or balance of power, that had been disturbed and by which the institution of slavery had been endangered by the admission of California as a free state. The maintenance of this balance of power between the sections had been the especial concern of the south from the establishment by the admission of Louisiana into the union. The loss of it was to the south a political catastrophy, and the reinstatement of it was in the highest degree important to safeguard the institution of slavery. This heroic effort on the part of the south, attempting to use Kansas as the tool, precipitated a crisis in public affairs that shook the foundations of the government and involved the existence of the nation. The importance of the services rendered and the sacrifices made by Charles Robinson in this connection are not exceeded by those of any other citizen of our country. No American was ever charged with greater responsibilities; the future of a race and the destiny of a nation were in his hands. When gold was discovered in California and she was admitted into the union as a free state the condition of the south was then deplorable, there remained one course open to her, that was to create a new territory and from it make a slave state. The only portion of the public domain that was then open was that lying west of Missouri. It was the last act of a great point, drama, with Kansas as a slave state the commanding position of the south would be restored and for all time she could prevent the admission of any more free states. It was planned to admit Kansas and form a constitution and get control while she was thinly settled and before any northern immigrants could be brought in, out the loyal citizens already were wide awake and alert that this might not ever be a slave state. Colonization societies were at once formed, the affairs of the society were placed in the hands of Charles Robinson who located the colony in what is now Douglas County, and founded the town of Lawrence named in honor of Amor A. Lawrence of Massachusetts. This was the advance guard of freedom which was moving against slavery. Robinson was especially well equipped for the difficult role he was to assume in Kansas history. The blood of the French and English course through his veins and gave him the commanding position and gave that shake leaders of men and mastery of destiny. Early in 1854 Robinson arrived in Kansas Territory. A year later General Lane came to Kansas and a few months later John Brown took up his residence in Kansas. The south also had organized a colony and in October addressed the following letter to Robinson: "Dr. Robinson, Sir: Yours self and friends are hereby notified that you will have one half hour to move the tent which you have on our claim, John Baldwin and friends." Robinson quickly replied as follows, John Baldwin and Friends. Sirs: "We will not move, we are located under the American flag and any effort to molest us or disturb that flag will be made at your peril. If you want a fight you and your Missouri friends can have it, Charles Robinson and friends." After this thirty loyal free state man took up their position a few rods from the Robinson tent and waited for hostilities on the part of the ruffians from Missouri. The election was held in March, 1855, and the south by corruption and importation of Missouri won, the hand full of free state men stood against and discour aged, bat, Chas. Robinson, Jin Lane and John Brown were there and with these great leaders must eventually win. Robinson dispatched a man to Boston to Amos A. Lawrence in their determination that this always should be a free state for one hundred rifles, they soon arrived and a short time afterwards he sent for more and they were quickly received and all distributed among the free state colony. June, 1856, he received word from the southerners in Missouri that they were coming and Robinson quickly sent word back to come ahead as "we are ready," ending the answer with the characteristic words "in haste yours for the freedom of the world." During the struggle he delivered the following address to the soldiers. "Fellow soldiers, in consequence of a misunderstanding on the part of the executive of this territory, the people of this territory have been menaced by the presence of a foreign foe and our lives our property and our liberty have been enlarged and from all parts of the territory loyal men and women came and gave us their support and resolved to perish in behalf of freedom and the right rather than submit to slavery. Lawrence and her people were the first to be sacrificed and most nobly her neighbors came to her rescue. The moral strength of our position was such that even the gates of hell could not prevail against us much less a foreign mob or a band of Missourians. Selected as your commander it becomes my cheerful duty to tender to you the meed of praise so justly your due. To the experience skill and bravery of General Lane all credit is due. His service can not be over estimated. I thank you for your prompt response. The war is over, our duties are discharged and it only remains for me with the warmest appreciation for every soldier in this conflict to bid you adieu and dismiss you to again go to your families. Interest in the State University. In after years he became much interested in the University of Kansas, having previously been much interested, when cessation from war allowed, in education. He promoted the establishment of the college and endowed it with his fortune, and in doing so made it a paramount condition that no distinction should be made on account of race or color sending the following terse note at one time to the regents, "Gentlemen and brother regents and trustees: In making this endowment I do so that its acceptance shall be with the perpetual understanding that this school shall ever be a free state school that no distinction shall ever be made in its management on account of race or color. The history of this state has been written in blood, our brethren and forefathers fought that this in all things should be a free state and this means that her public schools and colleges must be free." In 1950 Amos A. Lawrence of Massachusetts an old friend of Robinson's became at his solicitation interested in the question of schools for the new territory and gave substantial evidence of his interest by setting in operation a plan for the founding of a preparatory school in the city which had been named in his honor. He requested Robinson to spend some money for him in the matter, work on the building was commenced, but, soon stopped because of a defect in the title to the land. On December 16, 1856, he wrote the following letter to Robinson, he says: "You shall have a college which shall be a school of learning and at the same time a monument to perpetuate the memory of those martyrs of liberty who fell during the recent struggle. Beneath it their dust shall rest. In it shall burn the light of liberty which shall never be extinguished until it shall forever illuminate the whole continent and the civilized world. It shall be called the "THE FREE STATE COLLEGE" and all the friends of freedom shall be invited to lend it a helping hand. I am very desirous of adding in this matter I recently gave ten thousand dollars to the Appleton Winsocon college. They are raising money in Connecticut and getting one dollar for every Fremont vote. The more I consider a "FREE STATE COLLEGE" the more interest I feel in it. February 14th he wrote the following letter Messrs. Charles Robinson and S. C. Pamery, Gentlemen: "Enclosed are two rates of five thousand dollars each of the Lawrence University of Appleton, Wisconsin, also a certificate of stock in the New England colonization society worth face value one thousand dollars, which I have had transferred to yourselves to be held by you as trustees and used to advance the interest of the free state college in Lawrence, Kansas Territory. Amos A. Lawrence, In 1861 the territorial legislature took up the matter of legislative assistance to the institution and the name was changed to Lawrence University of Kansas" in honor of Amos A. Lawrence. Afterwards when it became a state institution it was called the State University of Kansas. To secure the university for Lawrence the city gave fifteen thousand dollars and forty acres of land adjoining the city with the condition as desired by Charles Robinson that no distinction should be made in the school on account of race or color. Dr. Robinson held the first school in his back office. He was not satisfied with a small school but wanted a college and was fortunate in the support of Mr. Lawrence. The beautiful site on which it now stands was his gift. He incorporated his love of freedom in this gift and again made it a condition that the college should be for all races and color alike with out any distinction or discrimination in that connection. He left it as a monument to himself and to freedom overlooking some of the bloody battle grounds where battles were fought which make its existence, today a possibility and a reality. The legislature appropriated money for a large bust of Robinson and it appropriately stands where it belongs, in the University of Kansas, in the University Chapel. Civil Rights in Kansas. Something We Ought to Consider and Resolve to Defend at Any Cost. Paragraph 2916, page 643. Civil Rights: Punishment.

Sometimes ago announcements were made in the local daily papers to the effect that a National Negro Civic Movement had been called to meet in Topeka Aug. 20.21. Very few of the colored citizens of Topka knew anything of the movement or upon what authority or encouragement it was brought to Topka. Very few in fast dated anything about it on were in sympathy with it. Many were bitterly opposed to it, not be cause its declared purposes were faulty, but because they knew nothing of its birth or its originator. The writer cannot see where any good can come from the move. First of all it is unnecessary. We have enough of such organizations with such high purposes but whose results boiled down are simply talk. Then too, the National Negro Business League, a well founded, well organized, a thoroughly reliable and trustworthy organization is holding on these same days its meeting in Chicago. It rather seems that this "Civic Movement" is set up in opposition to the Business League and by men of much smaller culture than Booker T. and his associates. Thirdly we cannot understand why the originator did not select his home town as the meeting place. He is best known there and ought to have succeeded far better there unless he felt that he were too well known. Fourth, it is an injustice to the colored people to have anything which savors so much of graft and easy money brought to this city. They have many good friends among the business men and cannot afford to have anything brought in which will have a tendency to cause distrust on the part of those business men who are their friends. CHARLES BRADSHAW KILLED BY HIS WIFE Deputy Marshall of Court of Popeka Fatally Wounded as he Leaves Wife's Apartment—Woman Shoots as he Desands Stairs. The sad plight of Deputy Marshall Charles Bindschaw is thusly told by The Touka State Journal: "Charles Bradshaw, Nogro deputy marshal of the city court, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded by his wife at her home at 507 Jackson street, about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. He and his wife had been quarrelling and she shot him while he was walking down the steps, leaving the place with Sergeant Dan Carden of the police department. The shot narrowly missed Sergeant Carden. The couple formerly lived at 213 West Fifth street but separated more than six weeks ago. Bradshaw filed a petition for a divorce July 5 and Mrs. Bradshaw filed an answer and cross petition August 14. Both charged the other with infidelity, cruelty and a number of other such offenses. Since separating, Mr. Bradshaw and his wife have met a number of times and have quarreled. The shooting resulted from a quarrel because Mrs. Bradshaw removed a night latch from the door of Bradshaw's rooms at 213 West Fifth. She removed her personal belongings THE NEW YORKER soon after they separated and no reason is given for returning to his rooms at the time she took the lock. Bradshaw found the lock gone, and about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning, asked Sergeant Carden to go to his wife's rooms at 507 Jackson street, to recover the lock. The sergeant realized that the entire trouble was between man and wife and did not wish to interfere but was finally induced to go with Bradshaw. He made Bradshaw to promise to not abuse his wife. Mrs. Bradshaw allowed Sergeant Garden and her husband to enter her room. Sergeant Garden asked her about the lock and she contended that she did not know where it was. The couple quarreled, Bradshaw threatened to kill his wife and at another time, he threatened to cause her arrest. Sergeant Garden knew that Bradshaw carried a revolver and fled that he might attempt to shoot her. For this reason he finally persuaded Bradshaw to leave the place and the deputy started down seven or eight steps and Sergeant Garden was following him when Mrs. Bradshaw stepped out in the hall and fired at her husband. Mrs. Bradshaw then ran back through the hall and out on the tin roof of the rear of the building. After reaching this she jumped down to the ground between this building and the building at 501 Jackson which is occupied by J. J. Lannan's cottage and blacksmith shop. Shot as He Left House. She was in her room when Sergeant Dan Carden started down stairs with Bradshaw. Seigneant Carden was stalled when the shot was fired. He was deafened by the discharge of the gun. He started after Mrs. Bradshaw. He saw her jump off the roof and then he started toward the front of the building and down the steps. He reached the street about twenty feet behind her.

CAFE RESTAURANT and ICE CREAM PARLOP B F SAMUELS, Progression 299 Delaware, Leavenworth, Ksq THE TRUTH ABOUT THOSE DELEGATES ALL BUT 74 WERE ABANDONEO An Examination of the Facts Shows That the Tribunals Which Decided These Contests In Favor of Mr. Taft Were Right In Every Instance—The Remaining 164 Contests Were Frivolous, and Their Prompt Abandonment Reflects Upon the Genuineness and Validity of the Remainder. Washington, July 20 Here are the facts in relation to the contested seats in the Republican national convention It is a summary of a detailed statement going carefully into all of the cases, a statement as thorough that it takes up 130 pages of printed matter. This statement is signed by Mr Victor Rosewater, chairman of the former Republican national committee; by Mr. J Devine of Colorado, chairman of the committee on credentials of the Republ in national convention, and by Mr Charles D Hilles, chairman of the present Republic national committee The total number of delegates simmoned to the convention under its call was 1074 with 510 necessary to a choice. Mr Taft had 511 votes on the first and only ballot and was declared the nominee. There were instituted against 234 of the delegates regularly elected for Taft contests on behalf of Roosevelt. These contests were widely instigated not for the purpose of really securing seats in the convention, not for the purpose of adding evil dents which would lead any respectable court to entertain the contests, but for the purpose of developing the public into the belief that Mr Roosevelt had more votes than he ready had, as the conventions and primaries were in progress for the selection of delegates. This is not only a necessary inference from the character of the contests, but it was boldly avowed by the chief editor of the newspapers owned by Mr. Munney, who has been Mr Roosevelt's chief financial and newspaper supporter. The 238 contests were reduced by shannonment to seventy-four. The very fact of these 164 trivolous contests itself reflects upon the genuineness and validity of the remainder. The seventy four delegates include six at large from Arizona, four at large from Kentucky, four at large from Indiana, six at large from Michigan, eight at large from Texas and eight at large from Washington, and also two district delegates each from the Ninth Alabama, the Fifth Arkansas, the Thirteenth Indiana, the Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh Kentucky, the Third Oklahoma, the Second Tennessee and from each of nine districts, the First, Second Fourth, Fifth, Seventh Eighth, Ninth Lenth and Fourteenth of Texas. CONTESTED DELEGATES AT LARGE. In the Vatican convention there were ninety three votes. All the delegates six in number were to be solicited at large. The committee were entitled to select their delegates through their county ministers or by primary. In our county Michigan a majority of the committee decided to select the delegates and a minority to have a primary. In other counties there were some contests and the other committee following the usage of the national committee gave a hearing to all constituents in order to make up the temporary roll. There was a clear majority of the left delegates among the united delegates. The committee made up a temporary roll and that those who were not first four constituents in the roll and twenty-five withdraw the contests. The use of the left majority was so great that it was difficult to understand why contests were made. Indiana In informing the four Left delegates at large were in a state convention to which Marian county in which Indiana is situated, was entitled to 124 years. A prison was located in chapelia at which's left port of town and Roosevelt left port. This gave Taft the legal right to the state convention from Marian county, and if they were properly settled the control of the convention by a large majority was conceded to Taft. Attempts was made to impose the returns from Marian county by charges of fraud and reporting. These charges were of a general character without specific itmes not as to one word out of fifteen words and then the imposing witness allotted he did not from fraud as to change the suit in that war. The national committee upon which there were different until Taft men selected the Roosevelt contestants and gave the Taft delegates their seats by a unanimous vote Senator Borah and Mr Frank B Kellogg, both Roosevelt men, made speeches in explaining the notes in which they said that the case turned wially in the Marian county primary and as there was no evidence to imply the result entitled, the title of the Left delegates was clear. This to the convention whose proceedings called forth such loud charges of theft and fraud from Mr Roosevelt. Kentucky. In Kentucky a content was filed against only three of the four delegates at large. The fourth Taft delegate's seat was uncontested. The three contests admitted they were not elected by the convention which sent the Taft delegate or by any other. They only contested that if the Roosevelt forces had had a majority they would have been elected. There were 2,336 delegates summoned to the convention by its call. There were 419 of these whose seats were contested. If all of these had been conceded to Roosevelt it would have made the Roosevelt vote 297 votes less than a majority. The appeal to the committee on credentials from the decision of the national committee was abandoned, as it ought to have been Michigan. In Michigan the state convention had in it about 1,500 delegates. There were only two counties in dispute or contest. One was Wayne county, in which Berrien is situated, and the other was Calhoun county. The evidence left no doubt that the Taft man carried by a very large majority Wayne county, but it was immaterial whether this was true or not, because leaving out both Wayne county and Calhoun county, the only counties in contest, the Taft delegates outnumbered by several hundred the Roosevelt delegates, and they had a clear majority out of the total number of votes that should have been in the convention. The contest was so weak as to barely merit resent Texas In Texas there were 240 counties, of which four have no county government. The 245 counties under the call of the convention were allowed to have something over 1,000 delegates, representing them, who were given authority to cast 244 votes. Of the 245 counties there were ninety-nine counties in which the total Republican vote was but 2,000, in fourteen of which there were no Republican voters, in twenty seven of which there were less than ten each and in none of which there any Republican organization and in none of which had a primary or convention been held. It was shown that Colonel Carl Lyon, to whom had been assigned as referee the disposition of the patronage of the national Republican administration for ten years in the state, had been in the habit of controlling the Republican state convention by securing from two federal of dieholders in each of these ninety nine counties a certificate granting a proxy to Colonel Lyon or a friend of his to represent the county as if regularly conferred by a Republican county or organization. The national committee and the committee on credentials and the convention after the fullest investigation decided that these ninety nine counties in which the Republican vote was so small and in which there was no Republican party, no convention no primary, no organization, was not the proper source for a proxy to give a vote equal to that to be cast by the other 146 counties in which there was a Republican organization and in which primaries or conventions were held. The two committees therefore held such ninety nine proxies to be illegal and not the Lists of proper representation. The two tribunals who heard the case did that they should denounce the ninety nine votes, from the total of 245 and give the representation to those who controlled the majority of the remainder. The remainder was 152 votes, and out of that the left men had carried eighty nine counties, having ninety nine votes. This gave to the Taft men a near majority in the state convention and with it eight-decades at large. WASHINGTON. The contest in Washington turned on the question whether the Taft gates applauded by the county commission in King county, in which Seattle is situated, were daily elected to the convention or whether a primary, which was subsequently held at which it received delegates were elected, was properly called, so that its result was legal. Under the law the county commission had the power to decide whether it would select the delegates directly or should all primary in some counties of the state one course was pursued and in other counties the other. In King county the committee consisted of 270 men the majority of whom were for Taft, and that majority, voting through its executive committee, were led the last gates to the state convention. More time the city council of Seattle had disqualified the city it before had 20 pre-instate. Now substantially the same territory was laid up into pre-commission. The chairman of the county committee was R. Sewert man. The last gates were authorized by governor in the committee. A general meeting of the committee had held after the rollister ring of the city in which it was resolved that the闸闸 not lessen that request, so could it be seated to the new presentation in the district in September 1912. There was and in spite of this announcement the闸闸 assumed the right by his appointment and to the existing committee, the III president committee, and with those voting in the committee it is claimed that a primary was ordered. There was some confusion in the meeting that this is doubtful. However, the fact is that the last men protested against the action by a committee so constituted on the ground that the闸闸 has no authority to appoint the III new committeemen. They refused to take part in the primary, and so did the II Palette men. The newspapers reported the number of votes in the primary to be something over 1000. The Rosevelt committee showed by aid/davit the number to be 6,000 out of a usual total Republican vote of 75,000. The action of the chairman of the committee attempting to acl 131 prescinct men to the old committee was, of course, beyond his power. The resolution authorising him to fill vacancies, of course, applied only to those places which became vacant after they had been filled and clearly did not apply to 131 new prescincts. It could not in the nature of things apply to a change from the old system to a complete new system of prescincts created by the city council, because if they were to be filled the entire number of 131 new prescincts different from the old must be filled. One system could not be made into the other by a mere additional appointment of 131 committee men. No lawyer will say that such action by the committee thus constituted was legal. Therefore the action which the lawful committee of 250 took in electing Taft delegates who made a majority in the state convention was the only one which could be recognized as valid. The Ninth Airbase content formed on the question whether the chairman of a district committee had power to all vacancies, whether a committee man who had sent his resignation to take effect only in case he was not present, being present, should be prevented from acting as committeeman, and, third, on the identity of another committeeman. The written resolution under which the right of the chairman to appoint to vacancies was claimed showed on its face that the specific authority was written in different writing and different colored penel between the lines. A number of affiliations were died by committeemen who were present when the resolution was passed to show that the resolution contained no such authority. This gave rise to a question of fact upon which a very large majority of both the national committee and the committee on credentials held that the lead pencil insertion was a forgery, that the chairman did not have the authority therefore to appoint to the vacancies, and therefore the action of his committee was not valid. This made it necessary to reject the contest ants. The committee decided the two other issues of fact before them in favor of the Taft contention, although the first decision was conclusive. ARKANSAS. Fifth District In the Fifth Arkansas the question was one of the identity of one faction or the other as the Republican party. This convention followed the example of the convention of 1908 in holding that what was known as the Redding faction was not the Republican party, that it was a defunct organization and had only acquired life at the end of each four years for the purpose of using it in the national convention. The contestants were therefore rejected. It was shown that the other or Taft had been in active existence as the Republican party, had nominated a local ticket and had run a congress run. CALIFORNIA. Fourth District The Fourth California presented this question under the state law the delegation, two from each district, was elected on a general ticket, in a group of twenty six. Each delegate might either express his presidential preference or agree to vote for the presidential candidate receiving the highest number in the state. In the Fourth district the two candidates from that district on the Taft ticket expressed a preference for Taft, but did not agree to vote for the candidates having the highest state vote. These Taft delegates in the Fourth district received a majority of 200 more than the Rosemont delegates in that district. The national call forade any law or the acceptance of any law which prevented the election of delegates by districts in other words, the call of the national convention was at variance with the state law. The state law sought to enforce the state unit rule and required the whole twenty six delegates to be voted for all over the state, assigning two to each district on the ticket to abide the state white election, while the Republican national convention has insisted upon the unit of the district since 1858. That has been the party law. This convention recognized the party law and held it to be more binding than that of the state law and allowed the two delegates who had received in the Fourth district a vote larger than their two opponents assigned to that district to become delegates in the convention. This was clearly lawful for a state has no power to limit or control the basis of representation of a voluntary national party in a national convention. The fact that President Taft by telephone approved all the twenty six delegates as representing him is said to be in perpetual against his claiming the election of two of those delegates in their Fourth district. What is there inconsistent in his approving the canidity of all his delegates and the election of two of them? Why should he be thus accused to claim that part of the law was in imperative because in conflict with the call of the convention? INDIANA Thirteenth District In the Thirteenth Indiana there was no question about the victory of the Taft men, because the temporary chair man representing the Taft side was succeeded to have been elected by one half a vote more than the Roosevelt candidate. This one half vote extended through the ribbonous proceedings and although it was not as wide as a barn door it was enough. The chairman put the question as to electing the Taft delegates, and after continuous objection lasting three hours declared the (Contued on page 8) BANQUET HAM?

KENTUCKY. Seventh District In the Reeve Kentucky district the total vote of the convention was 115. There were contests from four counties, involving nearly all the votes. According to the rules of the party in Kentucky, where two seats of credentials are presented those delegates whose credentials are approved by the county chairman are entitled to parade in the temporary organization. On the temporary call the Taft chairman was elected by nearly eight votes and forty seven votes were cast for the Reevevett candidate. The committee on credentials was then appointed consisting of one member named by each county delegation. The majority report of the committee was adopted simultaneously by the convention, no delegation whose votes were contested being permitted to vote on its own case. As seen in the majority report of the credential committee had been adopted, the Reevevett committee built on. There was not the slightest reason for maintaining the union for the Reevevett delegates. Earth District The English Court, doubtless it was composed of ten men having little votes, of which eight two were more easy to a choice. There was no comment in five of the counties and all though the Italians were unchallenged that there was one in Spenna county no control was presented against the costing of the regularly sent to the costing of the regularly sent to the Tatt delegates rights for votes in two more than were necessary for a choice. In no way, however, but the trove men were entitled to all the delegates from the counties in which they had contests in the trial contesting those remaining a clear majority of uncontested delegates who voted for the Tatt delegates to Chcugs OKLAHOMA. Third District In the Third Oklahoma district the question of the validity of the acts of the delegates turned on the constitution of the congressional committee, which was made up of twelve Past Taps, and seven Roosevelt men, the Chairman, Chairman, was a Roosevelt man and attempted to prevent the majority of the committee from taking action. The Chairman was removed and another substituted, and therefore the convention was duly called to order on the temporary roll prepared by the congressional committee, which was made the permanent roll, and the two Past Taps delegates to Chicago were duly selected. Grety county in the district had its representation and vote in the regular convention, and no person properly appraised as a delegate was excluded or deferred from participation in the proceedings. Corrigan and his fellow bolted after his deputy. Assuming that all the committee who went out with him had the right to act on the committee, it left the committee attending twelve for Taps and seven for Roosevelt, so it was simp-ly a question whether a majority of the committee had the right to control the action or a minority. The holding convention which Corrigan held was not attended by a majority of the fifty elected delegates to the convention, all did not have the excuses from the virginia counties, and its membership was largely made up of his representatives who had not been duly recounted to any county in the district. Its a turn was entirely without authority. If the national legislature did not there were fifty nine delegates mean term out of a possible total of fifty in the convention. There were forty nine delegates. The House was returned to the convention of the committee on resolution of the convention with five leaving fifty nine delegates. The House also delegated part of whose work the committee must consult on the vote convention, appointed to preside, and sent into the convention to select four delegates. There were no question about the validity thereof. Pass at their title. Eat Dust The only continuing interest we the upper district from lower of the two firms destined was an impulse of a new competition, as only livestock in the vale contain a certain wealth which two the countryside contain the impulse of our response to both with unity, much on the contrary and still in the continuity that it has not yet withdrawn what we have and vale the countryside contain the two left delegates in the town and continuing vale. In this country was represented in that vale. A minority representing and all three quarters vale, but the one in continuation and shall a prime working the two competition by augmenting into beyond the contient in favor of the left delegates. Second District In the second meeting there were recounts collated. Two recounts were found not to have held in favour of the county to have the duly present "the Convention" was right constituted by the delegations that had regular representation. The results of the conventions presented accepted upon political and then representative of five counties window from the hall. The report constituted of four of these counties with a runs convention. The regular convention commenced in second several hours, appointed the usual committee which retired and made their reports, which were accepted, and related two full delegates to the national convention and certified their election in due CHICAGO DELEGATES fords to the national committee, which without division asked for, held them property elected. Fourth District The Fourth Texas district consists of five counties, each having one vote in the district convention under the call. One county, Ralston, chose an unannounced delegation, and that one was for Taft. The other four counties sent contesting delegations. The contesting delegations appeared before the congressional executive committee to present their claims, but the committee arbitrarily refused to hear anybody. Having exhausted every effort to secure a hearing, the four contesting delegations, together with the only uncontested delegation of the convention, withdrew to another place and held a convention and elected Taft delegates to the Chicago convention. The congressional convention which elected the Taft delegates was composed of more than a majority, and, in lieu of, practically all the regularly elected delegates. The national committee held the title of the Taft delegates to their seats valid by a vote without voting for a division. Fifth District The Fifth District of Iowa is comprised of four counties: Hills Hill, Kingwood and Linnwood. Hills Hill contains cost more than half a million acres, all of the other counties of the district together. All of the counties are situated on all of which counties to and not to tax four delegates, but only one delegate to the basis of representation of the respective counties comprising the district. There was a contempt from Hills Hill counties, but the last longstanding was a contempt. Hills Hill delegates were presented in the district roll from two counties, and it is correct delegates from the three counties, and the representation in the contempt in was that at one vote for each county without regard to the number of delegates in the contempt or the number of delegates in the district roll in such county. A minority report of the district committee was presented, protecting against the rate of representation adopted. The chairman of the convention objected to the presentation of this minority report. Telling in this he also objected to the platforms and left the toll The convention thereupon elected a new chairman and a new secretary, appointed a committee on credentials, which recommended the sending of the Taft delegates from 1111 county and the adoption of the minority report of the district committee as to the basis of the representation in the convention. Both these recommendations were adopted, and Taft delegates to the national convention were thereupon elected by a vote of eight to three. The Rosevelt men thereafter retired to the south and of the hall, where they or guarded a meeting at which it was claimed the Rosevelt delegates to the national convention were elected. The Republican vote for the district for 1001 was as follows: Dallas county 2001, Ellis 341, 411, Boone 2001 Rockwall, 14. Both the national committee and the committee on elections sustained the Taft delegates. - Seventh District SUNRISE North D street In the North Institution the district committee was called in Mr. Nasser a member of the committee and in the chairman The chairman in refusal to convene the committee because he claimed that all the delegates from Least to the third and convention must be elected in the state convention, that counsel down the superior, had thus forced him. The district committee was also asked seven members attended the meeting. The district convention was called on May 15. Eleven counties out of the fifteen responded to the call and this part in the convention. Three counties were not represented, and in one of these there was no election. After this convention had been called the chairman of the district committee changed his mind and called a meeting of the committee for April 17. This committee called a congressional convention to be held on May 18. But there was no publication of the call, which had to be thirty days before the convention, until April 21. The Taft convention seems therefore to have been duly and regularly convened, while the Roosevelt convention was not. The Taft delegates were seated Teeth District In the Tenth district the decision turned largely upon the bad faith with which two members of the district committee voted in the scatting of delegates and upon the bad faith with which one of them used the proxy intrusted to him. The Laft delegates in this case isolated and left the hall and immediately in the same building organized another convention which consisted of delegates from six counties. Proceedings were regularly held a permanent organization effected the report of the committee on resolutions adopted and delegates pleaded to Laft were elected. The undisputed evidence indicated that a disgrunt attempt had been made to deprive Laft of this district to which he was just entitled. The null and unqualified sustained the time of the Laft delegates and after it by a putthttp://www.unique.state.ny.us/ Fourteenth District In the District district there were fifteen candidates in the district. When the one nominee committee met at San Antonio to make up the temporary roll those were ten members of the committee present whose right to act was unqualified, of whom six were for Laft and four for Roosevelt. There were for other Roosevelt men present were right to vote was disqualified and were not entitled to represent their county at that meeting. One of them held the prays of the committee from his county, who was Laft and the prays from three other counties were held, two by postmaster and one by a resident postmaster while under the election law of Texas one who holds an office of profit or trust under the United States shall serve as a member of an executive committee either for the state or for any district or county. The temporary roll was made up by Laft members, having a clear majority without permitting these men to act under their proxies. There was a contest over the delegation from Neway county, which contains the city of San Antonio. Full consideration was given to this contest, but the testimony was overwhelming that Laft carried the county by a vote of four or five to one. On the proper basis the total vote in the district convention was sixteen, of which the number instituted or voting for Laft was thirty seven and one half, the number voting or instituted for Roosevelt twenty eight and one half, not voting one. The Laft, delegation was therefore seated at Chicago. CONCLUSION. The purpose of this resume of the contests in which there was any shadow of obstinacy in the use of substance has been to inform those who have all time or inclination to read the larger and more detailed account of them contained in the larger pamphlet. It is not essential to make Mr. Buffett feel and赞赏 that all men agree on the one of the issues raised. Many were told by the referee who is in the party usage had made the proper attempt to decide such issues. If these tribunals sent in and found an issue to judgment would not have been left to the officers. As a matter of fact the examination of the facts show that the tribunals were right to insist on it. There is not the slightest evidence that they were unaware of the more difficult to reach right on them. The other hand the aster of the Housemen in bringing the cases that they promptly and strongly tend to show the aster of good faith in the process of the case. These are supported if they did not offend we afford to stand by them and in this case we are to reassure them of fear of success. In the degree where we are satisfied were as fair, we are to congratulate as in any in the city of the party. BARLESVILLE, ONLY.

In the death of Mrs. Catherine Crouch on August 12, 1912, Lawrence lost one of its most worthy citizens. In her public life, Mrs. Crouch was a model for faithfulness. Her colleagues could depend upon her, trust her implicitly. She was a colored woman, who never created any race prejudice. Caring nothing for the vanity of mere show, and loving the simplicity of real merit, she was not one to parade. Her unassuming industrious, honest life, made her one of our most desirable residents. Mrs. Crouch was a good neighbor; a large hearted unselfish neighbor. In fact, she made the whole world her neighborhood. So far reaching was the influence of her kind heart, and the hospitality of her home, that her sudden death brought sadness to hearts in many walks of life. The fact of her death gave the community a severe shock, for within a couple of hours of the end, she was in her usual health, and with her usual pleasant, hopeful, helpful disposition. As a friend she was faithful and relatives as she saw it, knew no sacrifice too great to be made. To those in a position to know her long life has been a wholesome example of unstinted service for friends and relatives. In the face of the barriers allotted to her life, Mrs. Crouch was an exemplary woman. When a mere girl she not only joined the church, but continued as best she knew to think and live as a consistent Christian, so that when the end came, all who knew her could speak in unison: "A good woman gone; she did her best."
