It is a remarkable day wneii Lite death of one or more is but recorded A handsome medal is forUicoraing to the politic ian w ho can tell the peo ple where Uiey are in the coming campaign. The mix-up is certainly deplorable. Monday of Uiis week, began the boaa Hull Moose convention in Chica go in advance everybody knows Uie outcome Teddy for president and whoever lie wants for a running mate. In tifty-one counties in Uie state toe state board of assessment will in crease values, while in seven other counties Uie assessments will he cut down The remaining counties will have no change made. Sherman county is among Uie latter. Theodore ltoosevelt says no self respecung man can remain in the re publican party under existing con ditions. If that be so. why should he try to capture the republican organ izations in various states? Why not start a new party in all the states and leave the republican organizations alone? C. B. Manuel, one of the leading lieads of the almost defunct pop party, owner of U-e St. Paul Pioneer-Press and by the erace of Gov. Aldrich superintendent of Uie reform school at Kearney, lias come out as a full blown Bull Mooser. it would seem that Bro. Manuel is something of a political octopus, w hose tentacles em brace every tiling within reach. He himself is at once a pop. democrat, ormer supporter of a republican gov ernor and now a rantankerous Bull Mooser, and perhaps former political history would find he had been a greenbacker, farmers' alliance, anti monop, and had all kinds of party ailments in past days. While he is at present bellowing for the Bull Moose, his paper, the Press, is swell ing up for Wilson and postoffice align ment, Manuel is at once a politicial chameleon whose colors change with bewildering oftenness seldom wit nessed in these changeful political times. The Nonpareil believes that the Re publican state convention erred when it failed to make provision for the Taft men to vote thejr preference for president. As the situation now exists it is impossible for a voter to cast a ballot for Taft. This Is a prac tical disfranchisement of certain citizens and for that reason is unfair and unjust. We know that the lead ers on both sides tried to arrive at a compromise that would solve the difficulty but the fact that they did not do so does not relieve them of the responsibility for the injustice. The Nonpareil believes that the five men on the Republican electorial ticket who will not vote for Taft should withdraw and permit other electors favorable to Taft to take their places. The issue between the various presi dential candidates cannot be made clear until this is done. Roosevelt is the candidate, or will be, of another party and he has no right and does not claim any right to the votes of Republican electors. While there is substantial merit in the contention that Roosevelt was the real nominee of the Republican convention the fact that he has voluntarily left that party and organlzad another gives him no moral claim to the votes of tne Republican electors In this state. If the five electors withdraw their places can be filled by Taft men and a full electoral ticket favorable to Roosevelt can be placed on the ballot either by petition or under a party designation and every voter will thus have a chance to express his choice_ 1 Central City Nonpareil.

They first put up the Mason farm implement house east of The Milburn, 40x80, from May 9tli to June 6th.. On the day the company finished that they began the erection of the fine new pcstoffice buildings, 30x60, with basement, completing the building above the basement by July 1, so Uncle Sam could get moved on that date and finished the basement, now occupied by the Times, by the 12th, makiBg one of the best buildings in the city for the postoffice and for Bro. Beushausen’s newspaper plant. The first of this week they began the building of a fine cement office build ing for Drs. Bowman & Bowman, on the A. L. Zimmerman residence grounds, south ef the home, which is to be 26x36, 6-room, equipped with lavatory, bath, furnace, electric lights, city water and everything up to-date. with office, consultation rooms and living apartments. This the company expects to have com pleted about Sept. 1st, when the doctors will have one of the most con venient, complete and well equipped offices anywhere in central Nebraska. While the new office will not be quite completed by the time Dr. Bowman’s wife reaches home from her European trip, where she has been perfecting herself as medical companion as well as home-maker for our genial phy sician, yet it will be so nearly so as to practically say it will be ready for 1 occupancy by that time.

A minority representing one and three-quarters votes bolted the “regular convention and held a rump -meeting The na tioual committee .by unanimous vote decided the contest In favor of the Taft delegate. Second District. In the Second Texas district there were fourteen counties. Two counties were found not to have held conven tions and one county to have no dele gate present The convention was then constituted by the delegations that held regular credentials. The re port of the committee on credentials was accepted upon roll call, and then the representatives of five counties withdrew from the hall. The repre sentatives of four of these counties held a rump convention. The regular convention remained in session several hours, appointed the usual committees, which retired and made their reports, which were accepted, and elected two Taft delegates to the national conven tion and certified their electteD in due rorm to the national committee, which without division asked for, held theta properly elected. Fourth District. The Fourth Texas district consists of five counties, each having one vote In the district convention under the calf. One county. Rains, c^ose an uncon tested delegation, and that one was for Taft. The other four counties sent contesting delegations. The contest ing delegations appeared before the congressional executive committee to present their claims, but the commit tee arbitrarily refused to hear any body. Having exhausted every effort to secure a hearing, the four contest ing delegations, together with the only uncontested delegation of the conven tion, 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 com posed of more than a majority, and. Indeed, of practically all the regularly elected delegates. The national com mittee held the title of the Taft dele gates to their seats vaiid by viva voce vote without caning for a division. Fif'.h District. The Fifth district of Texas is com posed of Dallas. Ellis. Hill. Bosque and Rockwall counties. Dallas county cast more Republican votes than all the other counties of the district put together. The call for the congres sional convention allowed each county to send not to exceed four delegates, but made no reference to the basis of representation of the respective coun ties composing “the district. There was a contest frt>m Dallas county, but the Taft delegates were seated. Taft delegates were seated on the temporary roll from two counties^ and Roosevelt delegates from the three counties, and the representation in the convention was fixed at one vote for each county without regard to the number of dele gates In the convention or the num ber of Republican votes cast in such county. A minority report of the dis trict committee was presented, protest ing against the-, ratio of representa tion adopted. The chairman of the convention objected to the presenta tion of this minority rei>ori. Failing in this he abandoned the platform and left the hailr The convention thereupon elected a new chairman and a new secretary, ap pointed a committee on credentials, which recoin mended the seatiug of t lie Taft delegates from Hill county and the adoption of the minority report of the district committee as to the basis of the representation in the convention. Both these tecommendatious were adopted, and Taft delegates to the na tional convention were therein otf'elect ed by a vote of eight to three The Roosevelt men thereafter retired to the south end of the hall, where they or ganized a meeting at which it was ciainvd fin* ihse-evelt delegates to ‘he national convention were elected The Republican r,c«* for the district for Iftps was ns 'oPows Dallas ■•ottnfy, 2.1 a IS.

This r? suite*! i- "lection "f the Taft dele gates. .1. were seated by both the national committee cud the credentials committee. Ninth District. In the Ninth district the district committee was called by Mr. Speaker, a member of the committee, and not by the chairman The chairman refused to convene the committee because he claimed that all the delegates from Texas to the national convention must be elected in the state convention, that Colonel Lyon, his superior, had thus directed him. The district committee was called Seven members attended the meeting. The district convention was called on May 15. Eleven counties sut of th4 fifteen responded to the call and took part in the convention. Three counties were not represented, and in Dne of these there was no election. After this convention had been called Ibe chairman of the district committee changed bis mind and called a meet ing 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 befere the convention, until April 21. The Taft convention seems therefore to hava been duly an-1 regularly convened, while the Roosevelt convention was not The Taft delegates were t .-uted. Tenth District. In the Tenth district the decision turned largely upon the bad faith with which two members of the district committee voted in the seating of dele gates and upon the bad faith with which one of them used the proxy in trusted to him. The Taft delegates in this case bolted and left the hall and immediately in the same building or ganized another convention which con sisted of delegates from six counties. Proceedings were regularly held; a per manent organization effected, the re port of the committee on resolutions adopted and delegates pledged to Taft were elected. The undisputed evidence indicated that a flagrant attempt had l»e»*n made to deprive Taft of this dis trict, to which he was justly entitled The national committee sustained the title of the Taft delegates and alter nates by a practically unanimous vote. Fourteenth District. In the Fourteenth district there were flfteeu counties in the district. When the executive committee met at San Antonio to make up the temporary roll there were ten members of the com mittee present whose right to act was undisputed, of whom six were for Taft and four for Roosevelt. There were four other Roosevelt meu present whose right to v-'*e was disputed aud who were clearlv not entitled to repre sent their coun-v at that meeting. One of them held the proxy of the commit teeman from Kendall county, who was dead, and the proxies from three other counties were held, two by postmas ters and one by an assistant postmas ter. while under the election law of Texas no one who holds an office of profit or trust under the United States shall act as a member of an executive committee either for the state or for any district or comity The temporary roll was made up by Taft members, having a clear majority without per mitting these meu to act under their proxies. There wcs •* contest over the delegation from Bexar county, which contains the city of San Antonio. Full consideration was given to this contest, but the testimony was overwhelming that Taft carried the county by a vote of four or tire to one. On the proper basis the total vote in the district con vention was sixty-seven, of which the number instructed or voting for Taft was thirty-seven aud one-balf, the number voting or instructed for Roose velt twenty-eight and one-half, not vot ing one. The Taft delegation was therefore seated at Chicago. CONCLUSION. The purpose of this resume of the contests iu which there was any shad ow of substance has been to inform those wbo have-not time or inclination to read the longer and more detailed account of them contained in the larger pamphlet it is not essentilal to make Mr. Taft's title indisputable that all men agree on every oue of the Issues raised. They were decided by the tri buuals which uniform party usage bad made the projter tribunals to decide such contests, if those tribunals acted in good faith mistaken Judgment would not invalidate their decisions. As a matter of fact, an examination of the facts show that the tribunals were right in every instance. There is not the slightest evidence that they wer moved by other than a mere desire t reach a right conclusion. On the othi band, the action of the Roosevelt me in bringing 100 contests that the. promptly abandoned strongly teude< to slt-xv the lack of good faith in th prose tition of all of them. Those wh support President Taft can well affor to stand on the record in this case an to asseverate without fear of success ful contradiction that the delegate whose seats were contested were at fairly seated in this convention as in any m the history of the party. _ Swedish Christian church, Sunday’ August 11th: Sunday school, 10:30 a. m.: sermon at 11:15 a. m.
