DOWN IN LANCASTER (Continued from First Page.) county, In convention duly assembled, ex press their pride in ana approval or the grand and mighty accomplishments achieved in our national life by and through republican men and republican measures. We especially commend the general course of legislation and measures pro moted by our party representatives dur ing the administrations of McKlnley, Roosevelt and Taft. In the face of the record of a half century of our party's history we feel that there can be but one rightful conclusion, and that Is that the necessity for a third party does not exist, and that the best Interest of our common country demands the perpetuation of the republican party and that its policies and administrations be sustained. Therefore, we of this convention, made up of republicans some of whom at the late presidential primary were followers of William Howard Taft, some of whom there supported Theodore Roosevelt and some of whom endorsed the favorite son or Wisconsin, Robert M. La Follette, uniting upon common ground for the pro motion of what we deem best for the common good hereby Join In the solemn declaration that our country's welfare demands the acceptance of the results of the national republican convention at Chicago, and the hearty and loyal sup port of Its candidate, William Howard Taft. And, be it further, Resolved, That good faith and public honesty demand that the custom estab lished by more than eighty years of our political history be observed and adhered to, that we hereby express as the moral conviction of this convention our solemn belief and conclusion that no presiden tial elector heretofore nominated as a republican or whose name may be here after appear on the ticket as such can In any manner be Justified in casting his vote as such elector for any candidate other than William Howard Taft, whom we recognize as the regular nominee of the duly called national republican con vention. And we further expressly Instruct the delegates chosen at this convention to at tend the state platform convention to as far as possible carry out and promote the sentiments expressed in these resolutions. Two Delegations at Jefferson. FAIRBURY, Neb., July 24.-(SpecIal.)-The republican county convention In Falrbury resulted in a division. The Taft republicans of Falrbury and the en tire county resisted the "gag rule" methods employed by the Roosevelt) peo ple and walked out of the convention and went to the office of the county superin tendent and there held a separate con vention. The first clash came at tha caucus In the court room Monday even ing, when the steam roller methods were employed by the Roosevelt faction. After Dr. H. E. Potter was elected chairman, former Attorney General F. N. Prout stepped forward with a resolution en dorsing the administration of President Taft, but was not allowed to place It before the convention. Charles H. Den ney, former county attorney, asked the privilege of talking on the resolution for ten minutes. The question was put be fore the house and a man who has been one of the main leaders and exponents of the republican party in Jefferson county for twenty years was denied the privi lege of speaking. At this point County Treasurer Berry advised all Taft men to withdraw from the caucus. As soon as the Roosevelt caucus had adjourned County Superintendent R C. Harrlss was elected chairman and a second caucus was held. The Roosevelt following remained to witness the proceedings. Mr. Denney then made a splendid speech before the entire delegation, emphatically denounc ing the methods used, stating that it was along the same tactics employed in Chi cago by the Roosevelt followers. He as serted that he attended the national republican convention In Chicago for tour days and was positive that Mr. Taft was duly and honorably named as can didate for president. The Taft convention Tuesday elected Charles H. Denney chairman and J. B. Killean secretary and unanimously adopted this resolution: Whereas. William Howard Taft is the regular nominee of the national republi can party for president of the United fetates, therefore be it Resolved, That It Is the sense of this convention that everything possible be done to promote his candidacy, both In the selection and instruction of delegates to the republican convention. The following delegates to attend tbe state convention are: Charles H. Den ney, John Ellemier, H. E. Fairchllds, W. G. Ubley, C. W. Slaughter, Lew Shelley, John P. Thelsen, John B.
