"sweep" Formation Wins.

Idaho's touchdown came in the first
half. Quarterback Small, with his
team in the sweep" form, advanced
the ball from the center of the field to
within two yards of the goal in FIVE
bucks. Then he resorted to straight
football to carry the ball over, and
could not gain an inch. Oregon got
the ball on downs and punted out Of
danger. Again Idaho worked the ball
back on Middleton's new plays and
resorted to straight football when
within the five-yard line. In three
downs she barely made the touch
down.

Chicago. April 2O.-A dispatch TO
the Tribune from Washington says:
Taft and Hughes. That is the ticket
which seems to appeal to the ma
jority of the administration followers
and they point out the fact that the
preliminary campaign practically is
concentrated in the two states of Ohio
and New York. In each state the
president has been attacked personal
~ and in each state he has the right
TO ask for personal vindicatfon
through the Endorsement of a candi-
date in sympathy with his point OF
jew on governmental matters.
The idea of coupling the secretary
of war with the governor of New
York, has proved a popular one. Elk
perienced politicians say it would be
about as strong a combination as
could be lima gined.- Each of the two
men would bring force to the ticket
and do it, too. in a state more or less
uncertain. according to ordinary po-
litical standards.
1t should not be understood. of
course. that President Roosevelt is be-
hind this ticket, but the names of
Taft and Hughes are grouped togeth-
er so often by people who are in the
confidence of the president as to give
the impression that this ticket would
meet with his approval to an extra
ordinary degree.

OF an official announcement for the
reason that Mr.. Dahlman is in close
touch with Mr.. Bryan and recently has
been in conference with him over the
plans and policies of the forthcoming
campaign. From the same source it
is stated that tariff reform will again
become dominant feature of the plat
form.
Dahlman, already has been mapped
out and will contain some radical
changes from the document adopted in
1904. While Mr.. Dahlman was not
able to go into minute details he says
the prominent plank in Mr.. Bryan's
declaration of principles will concern
sa'usts, the tariff, state regulation and
money, the railroad ownership plank
of course, being conspicuous by its alb
sence. Constitutional guarantees will
have strong Endorsement, and the ac-
ceptance of campaign contributions
from trusts and large corporations will
receive severe condemnation The
platform will define the necessity for
for running campaigns
