IOWA PROGRESSIVES HOLDS FIRST NEW PARTYOTIVENTION In Lively Session Con demn Taft and En dorse Roosevelt HARDONPRESIDENT Full Set of Delegates Chosen to the Chicago Convention Which Meets Soon Des Moines, la.—Roosevelt enthu siasm of the most pronounced sort marked the cl-Milne scenes in the first Iowa progressive convention here •late this afternoon whon a platform containing a plank declaring for the direct election of postmasters by their constituency was adopted. There were no negative votes. The convention chose a full set of delegates to the convention at Chi cago headed by Judge John L. Stev ens, of Boone, organized a working State central committee anu provided for congressional, district and county organisations. The platform, In addition to the proposed reform In the selection of postmasters, Is mainly devoted to national issues. It cbndemns the re publican national convention and re publican national committee at Chi cago severely criticises President Taft as a reactionary and',denounces what is alleged to be his' subserv iency to the special interests eulog izes Theodore Roosevelt as the "fore most man of the world" and declares for his nomination and election urges presidential primaries direct election of United States senators Indorses the initiative and referen dum and aBks for physical valuation of railroad properties and a protec tive tariff "suited to the fostering of labor in domestic manufacturer, ag riculture and other Industries." •. D. Pugh, a Des Moines socialist, created considerable excitement by appearing before the convention on a proxy of one pf the regular delegates and demanding that the platform de clare for the recall. The proposition was quickly referred to a committee upon the motion of Judge Stevens. The first Roosevelt enthusiasm broke loose a few minutes after the convention opened when a telegram from Col. Roosevelt congratulating Iowa progressives was read. The col onel referred to the Chicago conven tion, which he condemned in em phatic terms and pointed out the ne cessity for the new party. Dr. Charles Talmage. led the dele gates Into another outburst of enth usiasm for Roosevelt when ys criti cised Gov. B. S. Carroll for the lat ter's recent defense of the Chicago convention. "This is a warm convention," de clared Dr. Talmage. "It is going to be a -warm campaign, but it will be hotter, after Nomevber," was the signal for a demonstration that last ed nearly 20 minutes. That portion of the platform refer ring to President Taft readB as fol lows "We hear uttered solemn protests against what has been done at Chi cago and Baltimore In two national conventions and againBt what haB been done and is being done at Washington by a president who has proven recreant to the trust impos ed in him and who long ago defi nitely and completely abandoned the cause of the people to do the bidding of the bosses." SEPARA'I ELECTORAL TICKET FOR MARYLAND PROGRESSIVES Baltimore, Md.—The Maryland progressives assembled here in mass convention yesterday and selected 16 delegates with half a vote each and a like number of alternates to the na tional progressive convention at Chicago/ August 5. Resolutions were adopted empowering a committee of seven to select eight presidential el ectors independent of those named on the regular Taft ticket and de claring that no electors now on tlje Taft ticket shall be placed on the progressive ticket, unless he first re signs. The significance of this latter clause lies in the fact that six of the existing electors on the republican ticket are Roosevelt men. Opposition to a proposal for independent elect ors came mainly from western Mary land delegates, the republican strong hold of the state, who contended that to cut lobse entirely from the repub lican party would weaken the chanc es for success of their local candidat es. They were outvoted, however. WILL NOTIFY MARSHALL OF HONOR ON AUG. 17TH Seagirt, N.

D.-—Hay Branson of Mitchell successfully defended his title of state champion Wednesday ilay morning when lie defeated the challenger, Johy Barton of this city, (i-8. 0-2, ii-2, (1-3. The South Dakota State Tenuis association loving cup now becomes the personal property of ran son, he having hold it three consecutive years. Barton adopted the defensive side but Bransons aggressive attack prov ed too much. At one time it was thought Barton had discovered Bran son's weak spot and in truth lie did but Branson settled to a different mode of play and made "lob" balls impossible. The first set went to Barton after a tit for tat duce set, &-fi. In the second set everything was for Branson. Ilis almost perfect, ser vice gave him a love game and very nearly won a love set for him. Barton made a hard pull when the game stood five aganst him and by good steady playing won the next two games. Branson's lead proved too much and ho took the set game, 6-2. Branson won the third set, 6-2, but not without fighting for every inch of it. The fourth set proved final, for Branson sent his returns over the net out of reach time and again. His tricky Englished service was shown to advantage and after fighting hard won the set, G-2. Barton was at great disadvantage. His practice work has of necessity been exclusively after the sun is nearly below the horizon and the In tense noon heat told materially aga inst him yesterday. Mr. Barton states that he will again be a candidate for the state championship next season. He now owns one South Dakota state loving cup. having won it in 1907, 1908, 1909, in the singles event. Double Championship.

The sc.' was (i-2, 2-6 1-6, 6-4, 8-6. Excitement was at a climax in the last set when it went to duce and duce advantages were played back and forth in games until finally the two local men forged ahead a game and won set point when Barton kill ed Branson's lob in a spectacular manner. Consulidated Championship. E. J. Anderson and MacKnight, both of this city, fought through the consolidation preliminaries, semi finals and last evening Anderson eliminated MacKnight in an inters esting match. The score was 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.

Hardly a freight train east from this city does not take out shipments run ning from one to two cars up to a dozen, that many going to Chicago and Omaha markets Friday morning. The buyers for the government for cavalry and artillery purposes are picking up the best they can see, and are finding a large number, shipping to^various points every few days, and the eastern buyers are busy selecting the class of horses wanted in their sections. Although the man who ownb bunch of good horses does not need to search for a buyer these days, and the demand aparently has not been diminshed by the automobile trade. •si WHO'SIVHO In South Dakota Iiy O. tV. Coursey A Self-Made Attorney." The second class that graduated from the Mitchell high school, away back in the year 1887, consisted of four girls and two boys. The young ladies were the Misses Stella Adams Emily Rogers, Beulah Windle and Eva Keith. They are today Mrs. Stel la Moyer, Mrs. Emily Tipton, Mrs Beulah Scallin—all of Mitchell—and Mrs. Eva Mohr of Alexandria, res pectively, Having each one married, they curbed their ambitions for greatness in life, except in the realm of motherhood. The two men were Marvin .Dundas and Timon ,1. Spang ler. Unfortunately, Dundas, a lad of great promise died shortly alter graduating, leaving Spangler, alone, to achieve distinction. Timon J. Spangler. Born at Amboy, 111., in 1X69, young Spangler's parents brought him to Dakota in the spring of 1883, and the family settled on a Davison county farm. Like most of the rug ged pioneers of those days, they were poor. Timon yearned for an educa tion. He therefore went to Mitchell where he supported himself and worked his way through high school, as a newsboy, selling the Mitcheil Daily Republican. It was at that time a morning sheet. Young Spang ler got up at 4 o'clock, regularly every morning, so as to get his pap ers and be the first boy on the streets offering them for sale and making deliveries to his customers. Each night, after getting his studies for the ensuing day, he went to the com posing rooms of the daily and set type, so as to learn the printers' trade. This knowledge became very useful to him later on, as we shall subsequently see. Out in the World. When young Spangler graduated from the Mitchell high school, he was six feet tall, slender, lithe, a foot racer and an all-round athlete. (To day he weighs 250 pounds). Fired with ambition, one month after grad uation he struck out into the cold, crule world, to begin a new career. Going to Sioux City, he worked on the Sioux City Journal for a few months, and then switched over to the Sioux City Tribune, with which he was identified for nearly two years. In 1889 he struck west and landed in the then village of Hot Springfi. Buying a press and a small equipment he established at Hot Springs the "Minnekahta Herald" 1 Final proofs on Fall River county homesteads were being made thick and fast. Spangler got all of these notices of final proof for publication. At the end of a year he had cleared $6,000. Then he sold the plant to the "Oelrichs Times" which was moved to Hot Springs and merged with the "Minnekahta Herald" thereby giving birth to the "Hot Springs Times Herald" which is still published in that city by a gentleman named Har rison. Lawyer. From his early days while stand ing as a newsboy in the corridors of the old court house at Mitchell and listening to the eloquent H. C. Pres ton pleading lor justice for his cli ents, before the bar of man, Spang ler had determined to tit himself for a lawyer. With the money earned at Hot Springs he made a bold dash for Ann Arbor, Mich., and entered the famous law school at that place. His funds became exhausted, but he had a trade to fall back on. Entering a print shop and working as a "devil" therein at night he earned enough to put himself through school. After graduating at Ann Arbor with the class of 1893, he returned direct to Mitchell where, for nineteen consecutive years, he has engaged in the practice of his chosen profession. The "starvation period" in a law yer's career came truthfully home to Spangler. The first three years his annual income from liis practice av eraged him only $200. This scarcely paid his office rent. But Timon had bull dog tenacity—be stuck. Condi tions changed. He got a foothold: his practice began to enlarge rapidly, and during the next few years he forged to the front so rapidly that be soon acquired the largest individ ual law practice in the state. Spangler is, first of r.ll, successful trial lawyer. His massive phys ique and overpowering personality, his deep bass voice, his force, logic and shrewdness—all combine to fit him preeminently for practice in court. For nineteen years he has tried cases in the old court room against the mighty Preston whose stirring eloquence at the same bar fired the ambition of Spangler as a boy and gave rise to his success in life. Today his practice is so exten sive that he has to hire another good lawyer at a good salary to remain in his office and do nothing but draw up his papers. He was state's attorney in Davison county, 1905-1908, inclusive. Dur ing his service lie made a record as a public prosecutor never before equaled or approached by any other attorney in the state. In all he sent about thirty men to the pennitenti iary—-^eventeen of them in one year. Hobo^® coming to Mitchell, having heard of him, marked on the railr road ties and signboards near that place, certain signs as a caution to to their uninformed comrades to be ware. In 1902. without any solicitation on his part, General Conklin appoint ed him judge advocate general of the South Dakota national guard but, after two years. Attorney Spangler finding that the interest of his clients were too great to be neglected, gave up his military responsibility. Personal Today the former newsboy of Mit chell lives in one of the most magni ficent homes in the state, fronting on the courtyard square in the city of Mitchell.Its stately porch colonades and massive Grecian appearance from without, are but surpassed by its Mosaic designs, spacious halls and classic finish within. Two little daughters play on his lnwn, sit on his knee and enrich his home life with their attentive mother who is the second Mrs. Spangler— grief having cast a distressful shad ow over his life shortly after his first '4 marriage. His genius, his scholarship, his adaptability and application of him self to his work, his judgment and poise in his profession. lead us to surmise that should his health not fail, lie will yet win his way to the every progressive attorney.

THIRD PARTY WON'T HOLO A CONVENTION IN SOUTH DAKOTA State Leaders are Op- posed to Taking Any GOV. VESSEY GOES Third Party Representative Says It Won't Have Any State Ticket Tierre, S. D.—-There will be no third party convention in South Da kota this year and there will be no third party state ticket. This appears certain now that t.-ov. Yesse.v lias left, to spend the summer at his boyhood home oil Lake Winnebago, in Wis consin. Governor Vessey is the South Dakota -member of the provisional national committee of the party that is being organized by Col. Roose velt. It is understood that the governor sounded a cumber of progressive re publican leaders in the state upon the question of choosing delegates to attend the Chicago convention to be held by the new party. Most of them, it is stated, discouraged the idea. Gov. Vessey received a telegram from Senator Dixon. Roosevelt's manager, stating that the attitude to be taken toward such states as South Dakota, where the republicans have nominated for electors men who would vote for Roosevelt, would soon he determined. Since that time Sen ator Dixon stated in ail interview at Chicago that in states of this kind no third party nominees would be put up. This was considered by Gov. Vessey as settling the attitude to be taken toward South Dakota. Nominees on the state republican ticket, including both those endors ing Taft and those refusing to do so, are decidedly optimistic about the outcome of the state contest.. They believe that the two factions in the party will see the advisability of standing together behind the party's state ticket. It is predicted that the movement, begun at Scotland to se cure the signatures of voters to an agreement, not to support state can didates will not be carried very far. It is pointed out that it would jeop ardise the Taft men on the state ticket more than the Roosevelt fol lowers. In particular it is asserted that, if taken up by the Taft men generally, it probably would lead to a third party candidate against Con gressman Burke in the Second dis trict. Burke won the nomination eas ily, the field was divided against him and it is declared that he is in no position to begin throwing stones at the nominees on the state ticket who cannot accept Tal't as the party nominee for the presidency. It is probable that South Dakota will be represented at the conven tion of the new party to be held in Chicago. Aug. 5. However, these will no doubt, be volunteers, going with out the authority of any conven tion or other meeting. It is the man ifest purpose of the Roosevelt fol lowers in tlio state to cling to the name of the republican party, at least until after the general elec tion. They recognize that in the next campaign it will be. necessary for them to decide whether they will re main with the republican party or go to the. new organization. ROOT REFUSES TO DEFEND THE NOMINATION OF TAFT. Washington, D. C.-—The question of the stolen nomination at the Chi cago convention of the Republican party was fought all over again in the house of representatives. Representative Mondell of Wyom ing, a veteran standpatter and field tnarshall of the old guard, led off with a defense of the work of the national committee in throwing out the Roosevelt elegates and seating the Taft delegates-. Representative Norris of Nebraska who led the fight which routed Cati nonistu in the house, replied in an extended speech in which he accused Mondell of misrepresentation of the facts, and disclosed in detail his ver sion of the manner in which the re nomination of President Taft was procured. '"The claim that Col. Roosevelt was denied the nomination at Chicago through the larceny of delegates," Mr. Mondell said, "was not only ex pected to contribute directly to the third party movement but was ex pected to be even more potent by furnishing indirectly the excuse for the most impudent and revolutionary plan of political larceny ever con ceived. '"It is proposed to steal the livery and secure the benefits of Republican state organizations, while at the same time repudiating the party and candidate:".. It is difficult to conceive a more shameless proposal of pure piracy than this. "No one is justified in condemning the aciion of the Republican conven tion on meie hearsay, as has been largely done, and to be informed is to be convinced there is no ground for criticism. The convention acted honestly and in a g.pirit of fairness in harmony with party history, and for the best interests of the party and the American people." Root Refuses to Spenk. It developed during the day that the Taft leaders have encountered serious obstacles to their plan to stage in the senate an elaborate de fense of the operation of the steam roller in the Chicago convention. Senator Root was scheduled to make the principal argument in support of the validity of the Taft nomination, but it transpires that Senator Root ha« declined to perforin this service for the president. The Taft mana gers now are looking for a substitute. The refusal of Senator Root to BEYEIUDGE WILL PRESIDE OVER CHICAGO CONVKNTHN. Chicago.—Announcement of the election of Albert J.
