PROCUK DMA
FOR MUNICIPAL
Dea Moines, Aug. 2. With the main
question whether to endorse the ad
ministration or praise only Intentions
of Taft, Republicans met today in
state convention. Albert B. Cummins,
temporary chairman, sounded the
keynote in his speech, praising pro-'
gresalves and denouncing the tariff.
Six progressives and five regulars
were named on a committee of reso;
luttons, and It is expected that the
platform will be strongly Insurgent,
but there may be a minority report.
Senator J. P. Dolllver, In all proba
bility, will be permanent chairman.

sea which now bears his name. Al
though the tercentary of the discovery
will pass with little formal observ
ance, It Is marked with the beginning
of a movement which will soon make
Hudson Bay loom large In the com
merce of the world. The construc
tion of the government railway to
Hudson Bay has been commenced this
vear with the letting of a contract
for the construction of a bridge across
the Saskatchewal river at Lapaa Junc
tion, the present terminus of the Can

Within a year and a half the whlstla

shores of Hudson Bay, and western

'Hudson's : voyage three , hundred
years ago, on which he discovered the

to the shipping of the world, was for
the purpose of finding a passage to

to the Orient between the, land of the
North American continent, and the
great Ice fields of the north. , Hudson
passed the winter ot 1610 and the

his crew. The trouble ended when
Hudson was cast adrift In ao open
boat, and there is no doubt that the

shores, or In the waters of Hudson
Bay.
