CHOSEN FOR
PLACE OF CONVENTION

any, difficulty in securing a man WHO
could defeat any democratic candidate.
Principles, Not Men.
The p~residentsaid eight months ago
the convention indorse his policies and
nominate a candidate who not only
is committed to continue them, but who
is certain to do so after he enters the
White house as Mr.. Roosevelt's sue
cessor. 1t is for this reason the presi-
dent has manifested so great a concern
in the preliminary contest for the nom
ination. He objects to a retrogressive
nomination and will persist in this
opinion.
Taft is Qualified.
The president said eight months ago
that Secretary Taft is qualified to an
unusual degree to carry out the poll.
cies the president has in%augurated.
The president is making careful in
yuiry as to Mr.. Taft's chances of being
nominated. He is seeking this infor-
nation from the leaders of the party
now in Washington. Whatever knowl.
edge he is ascquiring' he is keeping to
himself, but it will be utilized to gov
ern his future course. If he concludes
that the secretary has sufficient
strength throughout the country to
make his nomination certain or, at
least, strongly probable, he may take
occasion to express his preference.
Attitude Will Be Neutral.
"The president, however, does not
feel that he is SO strongly committed
to the secretary that it would consti-
tute a breach Of faith il, as the result
of his inquiries, he concludes it would
be inadvisable for him to exert him
self further in Mr.. Taft's behalf. In
such an event his attitude will be neu-
trail as between the secretary and some
other men who can be relied upon TO
continue his policies if nominated by
the convention.
Will Indicate Preference.
THE president has not yet indicat-
ed, in a manner that is not open to
misinterpretation, to what other candi-
date he will throw the weight Of his IN
f%luence, unless the contest appears TO
he narrowing down to two men, one of
whom he believes can be relied upon
to execute his policies and the other
enc who favors a different course.
Then, without doubt, he will abandon
his attitude OF neutrality and show
clearly where he stands. He entertains
q strong regard for Secretary Cortel-
you and, it is believed, would prefer
IN GOO him nphiaVn tho nomination
above anyone else should the Taft
movement show signs of disintegra,
ton"

MAKE EXAMINATION
AT OWN EXPENSE

DR.. A. w. Whitehouse, the veterina.
rian, who tried to interest the city
council in a tuberculin test of the
milk cows of the city, offers to treat
as many as twenty or twenty-five cows
in the city at his own expense, without
any expense to the owners of the lows,
if he receives notice a day or two
ahead. He will make in all about four
teen visits to each animal and prefers
that they be presented in punches OF
three or four. 1t will not be necessary
tc drive the animals from their own
stable. Those cows that are healthy
will suffer no i'll consequence from the
test, while those that r diseased will
be feverish and restless for from 81
to As hours. The test will be official
and those COWS examined now will not
have to be examined within a year
should a compulsory examination be
ordered. The doctor wants those COWS
used to furnish milk for the people of
the city. The treatment consists in
taking the temperature of the animal
four times a day for two days and then
slight treatment on the third day.

RESIGNS Passionate
FOR MISSION WORK,

Rev. A. Walton. for the past five and
one-half years pastor of the German
Evangelical church in this city, com
ing to Laramie from Wichita, has re
signed the pastorate here to accept a
call to Kingfisher, Okla, where he will
be placed in charge of the mission field
for the church. Mr.. Walton has re
ceived several calls to that work, but
not until today did he make up his
mind to accept. He will remain here
until about the first of March, or until
a minister has been sent to relieve
him. He and his family are now Twins
in the handsome new parsonage re
Gently erected by the congregation, ant
will be permitted to go with the regre'

dreds of other friends in Laramie. Thu
matter of a successor in the church
here will be decided by the Kansa'
district conference, to which the Lara

Satisfactory Settlement.

Toxic, Dec. There is reason to
believe that the entire question OF the
emigration OF Japanese to America has
been satisfactorily settled, at least for
the present, after a series of confer
onces between United States Ambas
sador O'Brien and Minister of Foreign
Affairs Hayashi.
Will Limit Emigration.
1t is understood hat the Japanese
government has agreed to limit emf
grafton to students and commercial
men having a of support and en-
tirely prevent Japanese laborers from
going to America.
Provisional Acceptance.
AS the agreement is verbal, Ambas-
sador O'Brien accepted it provisional
ly, but maintained that any violation
of it's terms would seriously embar,
rass a friendly government.
Oppose the Plans.
The progressive party is preparing
for an active campaign in opposition
to the governments policy to restrict
emigration to the United States and
Canada. 1t is unlikely, however. to
muster sufficient strength to create a
serious situation.
