CANYON CREST FARM.

important Of its many achievements is
the Canyon Crest farm. This was
first discussed at the SpringyiIIe meet

farm where children without homes OF
living under undesirable home innu-
ences might ind "a more suitable and

that today the corporation growing
out OF this work, owns tract I'm

promoters that a suitable building will
yet be erected for this need. Tho

NEW ENGLAND FAVORS TAFT
Poll Shows He Leads All other Presi-
Dental Candidates.

Following it's poll of western states
which showed almost a unanimous'de-
mand for a candidate thoroughly in
sympathy with Roosevelt's ideas the
Chicago Tribune publishes a resume
of its poll of the New England states,
which conservative district stands for
President Roosevelt's progressive
policy, more than IS per cent of the re-
publicans ratifying Roosevelt ideas.
Sentiment for the nomination of Sec
rotary Taft or Governor Hughes is
overwhelming, and general opinion
favors both these men on the ticket.
Taft, of course, is largely in the lead,
having received the votes of 289 re-
publican editors, senator's and con-
gressmen, for first choice out of a to-
tai of $40, while Hughes was given
1879 for first choice preference, re-
markable and significant showing for
public man who has been before the
people for so short a time. A year
ago he was scarcely known except for
his progress in the insurance investi-
cation, while today he is mentioned
as the first, second or third choice in
3S9 out of $40 ballots, while Taft is
first, second or third in the running
on Ala.
Figures for the secretary of wal
show that in New England more thar
half of the ballots mentioned him as
first choice; one-fifth were for sec
ond choice, and 10 per cent were fol
third.
What is perhaps most surprising o.
all is that while two candidates, Taf
and Hughes, who have most frequent
ly been classed as progressive, were
so abundantly popular in New Eng
land, men like Cannon, Fairbanks
Knox and others of the distinctly con
servative type, have comparativel,
small following. Taking ballots 70
first choice Taft has more than thu
others put together, and his only rea
competitor is Hughes. For secon'
choice, Hughes leads Taft. and TO
third choice as well.
