Senator Warren on the Com
mittee Ghairmanship.
FINANCIAL INTERESTS
THEIR FEELING TOWARD PREsI-
DENT ROOSEVELT.
Says the State Of Wyoming is Prosper
ing in Every Branch Of
Industry.

Senator Francis E. Warren OF Wyoming
is in the city, stopping at the New Willard.
Senator Warren believes that Senator
Hanna should remain chairman of the ma
tional republican committee to manage the
campaign for President Roosevelt, whom he
expects to see nominated by acclamation.
'The republicans Of Wyoming" he said
when seen by a Star reporter today, are
all for Roosevelt. as also is a large portion
of the democrats. Their belief is that he
will be nominated by reclamation and
elected by a large majority.
'They believe also that Senator Hanna
should be the chairman of the next ma
tional republican committee. Our opinion
is that the relations between the President
and Senator Hanna are as pleasant,
whether they are as intimate or not, as
were the relations between President Nc
Kinley and Senator Hanna"
DO you think that Mr.. Hanna would
serve as chairman of the next national
committee?" Mr.. Warren was asked.
hope So" he replied Il am OF the
opinion that he will. although l have not
seen him for some months"
Speaking of the President and the feel
ing toward him by some of the large hnan-
cial interests Of the east Mr.. Warren said:
Our people believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
is broad man and one in whose care the
interests of the country of all kinds is per-
fectly safe. Our people are interested in
having capital come to our state and wish
to do nothing that in any way could make
capital timid in seeking investment. We
believe that while protecting labor Mr..
Roosevelt Is also a thorough friend of capi-
that he will protect 1t under the laws Of
the land and encourage its use and In
crease.
No Revision Of Tariff
I'VE in the Rocky Mountain region are
strong tariff men and do not consider It
worthy of making an issue Of any plan for
a revision of the tariff. It may be that
there are cases in which the tariff Is not
just what we should like to see it, but we
believe about as did Tom Reed when he
said: 1t is not what you want; 1t is what
you can get in comparison with what you
have got When we get into a tariff re-
vision it is not what we want that we will
get.
better off without any revision. The coun-
try generally is prosperous and the people
are doing we'll revision Of the tariff
would bring with it uncertainty which
would result in untold loss from the stop
page Of business. Our Rocky Mountain
country has very few items of the tariff in
which we are interested in directly. but we
are looking to the general effect OF the
tariff rather than to our interest in spe-
cifc terms. We are for the tariff Just as
we are for a good navy. 1t is a national
issue with US. There are perhaps but three
or four items of the tariff that we are d.
rectly Interested in.
Our state is very prosperous now.
continued Senator Warren in reply to
question I'VE had a hard winter for the
grazing interests. But the outlook for the
summer Is good In respect to prices and
the industry is prosperous. We are rapid
ly developing our mining interests, espe-
cially in ores and the baser metals. We
iron ore to the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company's works in Colorado. Several
trainloads of this ore leave daily from
the Hartvile mines. Ths ore is Of a very
high grade. and it is found in inexhaust-
able quantities.
I'VE are also making a great advance
in the mining of copper in the southern
and central portions Of Wyoming. or
course, our great coal mine interests are
growing. More than half of the state is
underlaid with coal and that interest is
getting to be an exceedingly large one.
It not only supplies the local trade. but
our state. We are also shipping coal to
the north and west of us. and some OF 1t
is going to the Pacific coast. This is btu
minous of a very excellent quality"
Irrigation Being Developed.
Senator Warren said that irrigation is
being developed most rapidly in the north
ern part of Wyoming.
This work." he said, 'is in its forma-
tive period. No reservoir has yet been
built under this legislation or ever COM
menced. 1t Is expected that some Of these
reservoirs will be gotten under constl'uc-
ton this season, but none of them can
be completed until another year and per-
haps not SO soon as that. The work Of
building the reservoirs is rather a large
undertaking."
Mr.. Warren stated that at the coming
session of Congress there would probably
be need of some corrective and other ad-
ditional legislation in relation to the work
of irrigation begun by Congress at the
last session. Work outlined will have to
but nothing of an extensive nature will
be sought. The execution of plans already
outlined by Congress will suggest improve
ments as the basis for legislation in the
coming years, but at the next session
there will be no such development as to
cause the advocates of irrigation In that
state to ask extensive legislation at that
time.
Every time I come to this city after
being away a month or several months l
am more and more impressed with the
all over the country now. I remember that
the time was when it was criticised as a
backward southern city, lacking in many
things it should have. There Is no more
of that. 1t Is becoming more and more
the place that people Of wealth are look
ing to as a desirable location for their
homes. 1t is the place where ease, COM
fort and culture can be found and people
generally know that. Every time 1 come
growth"
