This marriage perhaps has a tinge of romance, but from all ap pearances starts out to be a very nppy union. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson met yester day at Aline, when the intended bride stepped off the train fron her long journey to meet her future hus band, and from the photos which had been exchanged they easily recog nized each other, and the happy cou ple were soon on board the train that brought them to Alva, where they were made one.

SEABORN, Supervisor of Registration. Dec. 24, 1907._ 52-2 REPUBLICANS AT WORK. Some Prognostications as to Vt lint the Convention will Do. Washington, Jan. 6.-Special: The Republican National Convention, when lt meets in Chicago on June 16. will contain 980 delegates. This number was fixed when the Republi can National Committee met here in Washington on December 6, and al lotted two delegates to each of the territories. Each ?tate has two del egates for every Senator and Repre sentative in Congress. It will take 491 votes, a majority, to nominate. None of the candidates mentioned hos anything approximat ing the number of votes necessary. No delegates have been elected or even pledged by the action of party convention to Secretary William H. Taft, except six from Alaska, and. this number has been cut down to two by action of the NaHonal Com mittee. Grave doubts are entertain ed a? to whether Taft will get a ma jority of the delegates from Ohio, his own State. Tho 54 votes of Illi nois aro committed to Joseph G. Can non, and iii addition, two delegates have been elected and instructed for him in the eighth Michigan District. However, under the call of the Na tional Committee, these two dele gates must be elected over again. /Ice President Charles W. Fairbanks will get the 30 votes of Indiana, and Senator La follette is expected io have Wisconsin's 26 votes. Governor HugheB, of New York, is far from as sured of the 78 vites of that State. Senator Philander C. Knox, of the State of Pennsylvania, has the 68 votes of that State pledged to him bv the unanimous action of the Re publican State convention. He thus has more real, visible strength than any other candidate. His record in the Roosevelt cabinet and in the Sen ate has made him strong in his party In all parts of the country, so that, there are several other State delega tions that consistently can be placed to his credit. The vast majority of States are fighting territory for all the candidates. Senator Knox's friends are actively engnged in lny'ng his claims before the voters, and they expect him to go into the convention with a formidable number of dele gateo supporting him. From th? first the Knox people have refrained from any dort of pyrotechnical politics, and the steady growth of his strength is leaving a more substantial impres sion than that of any other candi date.
