MBL1GMI COUNTY COIM! II IN IEPK HER YESTER DAY 10 SELECT DELEGATES Everything Passed Off Smoothly, and Resulted in the Selection of Ten Taftites and Six Roosevelt Delegates to the State Convention Adjournment Before the Resolu tion Man Had an Opportunity to Get in His Work. The county Cass county republican convent ion met yesterday at Weeping Water, and for the first time in history adjourned on the eve of a presidential cam paign without adopting a resolu tion endorsing the acts of a re The Hoosevelt following pre sented the name of It. B. Wind ham for temporary chairman, while the supporters of President Taft placed Dr. M. M. Butler, postmaster of Weeping Water during the Harrison administra tion, in nomination. The vote showed the Roosevelt forces -in the majority, II. B. Windham re ceiving 87 votes, while the ad ministration candidate. Dr. But ler, received but 80. Mr. Windham was escorted to the chair and made the keynote speech for the campaign in Cass county, which was along progres sive lines wholly. Candidates were not mentioned by name and the trend of the speech was ultra pro gressive and at times dangerously near condemning the policies of the present administration, or at least the environment of the chief figure in the administration. The speech was lengthy and when it was finished there was a disposi tion to at once get down to busi ness and affect a permanent or ganization. The temporary or ganization was voted in without opposition, as it appeared the pro gressive element had a clear working majority. The convention proceeded to allow each ward and precinct to name a delegate, the names to be placed in a hat and sixteen drawn out, which sixteen should con stitute Cass county's represent a. tion to the state convention. This method cut out about nine pre rinds' from having a delegate and resulted in the Taft following get ting ten and the Hoosevelt follow ing six delegates. The sixteen delegates chosen were: K. M. Pollard, Clark New lan, L. C. Todd, C. L. Wiles, F. M. Phebus. W. A. Robertson, C. A. Itawls, M. L. Friedrich, A. L. Tidd, W. 0. Wollan, J. M. Teegarden, Win field Swan, L. J. May field, I D. Uarmer. B. A. Root and Fred Minchau. The county central committee was also selected by each ward Avoca Boosters Coming.

Teegarden to the chair and was about to start the fun by offering resolu lions to the effect that the dele gales selected by this convention vote only for a progressive as chairman of the slate convention. Peter Eveland, one of I he veteran republicans from Elmwood pre cinct, thought he could see a large sized storm brewing near the horizon, and in the interests of peace and harmony, arose and made a motion to adjourn, which was seconded instanter by another peace advocate, and before Mr Windham had produced the resolutions, which had been snug gled in his inside pocket, the con vention had adjourned. The only votes taken was on the organiza tion and on the motion for ad journment. A. S. WILL AND WIFE RETURN FROM THE EAST A. S. Will and wife, who left here for the Baltimore convention about a month ago, and who have visited their old home at Crab Bottom, Virginia, since, returned last evening. Mr. Will returns full of enthusiasm for the demo cralie ticket and a strong believer in W. J. Bryan, Mr. Bryan's ourse in l lie convention Having pleased Mr. Will very much. Mr. Will and his wife enjoyed their visit al the old home and re newed aeqquaintances of their childhood. Hie mountains seem o have changed somewhat. Mountains over which Mr. Will chased cattle and where he sup posed only a cow could go, now have a railway zigzagging lo the top. They were accompanied home bv Mrs. Will's sister, Mrs. Ellen Wimer, who will visit. Nebraska for a time. Also they were ac companied as far as Kansas City bv Mrs. Sarah Colaw, a lady about 70 years of age, who resided some sixty miles from a railway station, and who, up lo the time she started with Mr. and Mrs. Will, had never so much as seen a rail way train, nor any piece oi ma chinery propelled by steam. Mrs Colaw was going lo Parker, Kan sas, where she has a son and daughter living, whom she ex pected lo visit for a lime. She was amazed at the development of the country which she passed through and could scarcely b( lieve I hat she was actually in the United Slates.

WARGA & CECIL, Proprietors Ready for Business! From Wednesday's Dally. Lancaster county republicans in precinct caucuses fought out the question of Roosevelt or Taft and in most instances the Roose velt followers were successful. From the present complexion of the delegates chosen to the coun ty convent ion. it seems certain that when Ihe convention as sembles next aSlurday a delega tion of Roosevelt men will be sent to Ihe state convention, says the Lincoln Star. Most, interesting of nil the pre cinct lights was the scrap made by Taft men on Paul Clark, re publican candidate for congress in the First district, who has re pudiated the action of the repub lican convention at Chicago and is an out ami out Roosevelt man. Twice during the caucus of (he candidate's home precinct resolu tions were presented that Clark either support the national ticket or get out. The motion was first presented by Elmer Stephenson, but he was forced to retire and (hen L. L. Lindsay made practical ly Ihe same motion as Stephenson. Each lime it was lost by the narrow margin of seven voles. Nearly 120 voters attended the caucus. Resolutions were adopted en dorsing Clark and the state and county tickets, but no reference was made tu Taft or Roosevelt. A solid delegation of Roosevelt men was chosen. At Havelock n solid Taft delega tion was ' chosen, but at Uni versity Place the Roosevelt men were in control ami the delegation was solidly Roosevelt. Dr. A. E. Winship, the leading educator of the United Slates, will deliver two lectures each dav of the Cass County Teachers' In simile. lie is a marvel m Ins line, and is better known in the east, because the field of his activities has been there. The Brooklyn Eagle, in a recent com ment on the educator, said: "You, Albert Edward, are Ihe original and persit sent, incurable optimist of education. For over a quarter of u century you have been passing out that Xew Eng land and National Journal of yours with all the enthusiasm of a young man who has just dis covered a fine thing called educa tion. For over twenty-five years you have been a confident teacher of teachers. By Ihe pen, you have produced 1,511 essays, editorials and special articles, steaming with encouragement. By word of mouth in every normal school worth mentioning, in more than a hundred colleges, at teachers' in stitutes and conventions uncount ed, you have coiiip.liiiiented, gratified, flattered, praised, cajol ed, animated, heartened, slimulat ed, cheered, comforted, en oouraged, patted on the back, one million, more.nr less, of teachers during a period when greater criticisms from more directions have boon stud, at public educa tion than at any lime before."

Sent Up From This County Last April for an Indeterminate Period. (iovernor Aldrich has issued an unconditional pardon to Charles Allen Whiting, who was convicted last April of bigamy. He lived in Omaha at the time, but was con victed in this county, where his bigamous marriage occurred. He is serving an indeterminate sen tence of from one to seven years. Judge Travis, who sentenced the prisoner, said in a letter to the pardon board he considered Whit ing not a criminal in reality but merely a foul. J. S. Butler of Ihe pardon board wrote a long opinion which tie sumnitleii to the gov ernor, but he forgot to say whether or not he recommended a pardon. The oilier members of I lie board recommended clemency with the understanding that Whit ing w ill live with and support his first wife and their two chil dren, who are in destitute cir cumstances. Whiting was working in Omaha when he and his wife had some trouble and she left for her homo in Lincoln. One portion or I ho pardon record shows that Whiting leserled his wife ond children at Nebraska City and that he was paying attention to other women. He met. a woman named Mrs. Backus in Omaha and came to Plattsmouth, where they were married. Whiting's trouble is attributed partially to drink, but when ho was married a second lime he ap peared lo lie sober. The officers of the law who were familiar with the case expressed fear II hat Whiting, if pardoned, would not support his first wife, but the gov ernor followed the recommenda tion of two members of Ihe hoard and issued a pardon. Sues for Divorce. We note in Ihe Omaha Bee of yesterday that Mrs. Lillie M. Rand has started suit for divorco against her husband, Horace E. Rand, in the district court of Douglas county. Mr. and Mrs. Rand formerly resided in Plalls niouth, when Rand had charge of the Riley hotel bar. MH' H-K-I 'M-M' H-M TENNIS NOTES.
