Washington, March 2O-"While I
have no right or disposition to dictate
the nomination of my successor I will
say this to you gentlemen, however,
that neither the party nor the people
could choose a better man than Will
Taft for president
This remark was credited to Pres
ident Roosevelt. by two Democrats
who had called to see him and during
the course of their talk referred to
the stories printed about his pushing
the Taft boom in his conference with
Governor Deneen of Illinois.
He did not in any way deny the
correctness of the report that he had
enlisted Mr.. Deneen in the Taft move
ment, the evident purpose of which is,
as far as the state of Illinois is con-
cerned, to prevent the state sending a
Cannon delegation to the next ma
tional convention.
A vigorous Taft move was made by
the president Monday when he named
John e. Safer of Columbus Judge OF
the Southern district of Ohio against
the protests of Senator Foraker and
practically the entire Ohio delegation.
The bill creating the new judgeship
was put through the senate by SEN
ator Foraker and 1t was understood
he would name the man for the place.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL MATTER
BUILDING BOOMER FOR
KELLIHER IN SPRING
MANY Business Blocks and Residences
Are Contemplated for the
North-line Town.

Kelliher journal: The coming
spring and summer promises
much for Kelliher in public and
private buildings and improve
ments, and if one may judge by
the plans now under way several
dozen business and residence
buildings will be erected as soon
as the weather conditions permit
The most important OF the
public i'm provements is the water
system which was com menced
last fall, but on account of the
latenesS Of the season and the
failure to secure water, was de-
layed. However, with the first
sign of spring the work will be
commenced and the system com
pleted oy the middle of June.
The village will also erect a
suitab BILE city hall.
Among those who are certain
to build are:
Fred Scott, hotel, which was
d stroyed by fire last winter;
Boston Bros, building in place
of one destroyed by fire.
Henry Sterling, new sub
stantial business place on lot
now occupied by Gill Bros.
B. N Hobson, new place ad
joining his saloon on Main street.
Jos. Kenville, residence and
addition to his business house on
Main street.
j. P. Johnson, building, adjoin-
ing his restaurant.
William Lennon, business
house o, Main street and resi-
dence.
J. W. Murray, residence.
Henry Pfund, residence.
j. N. Backlun, residence.
A | these will be subs tantia
buildings, and other parties are
now negotiating for property
with view to erecting buildings in
the spring.
And last but not least the
Journal and postoffice will have a
new home. The business in both
the printing Office and postofice
has outgrown the present
quarters, and with improvements
to both branches the present
building is inadequate to accom-
modate the fast growing patron
age.

The above are substantially the
words the president used In his talk

Dakota when the latter asked him
about the report that Saturdays con-
ference at the White House with the
Illinois officials, during which Secre.

for the purpose of launching boom

Senator IHansbrough was in New

he saw him that as a friend of the ad-
ministration he thought he had a
right to know If the reported publica-
ton was correct.

Will tell you exactly what happened"
the president replied, according to
Senator Hansbrough. "The governor
and the attorney general did not come
on any political matters at ALL" con-
tinued the president. 1--WE did not
talk politics at all. During the inter-
view with the Illinois officials Secre.
tary Taft, with his brother, happened
to come over to the White House.
There was no politics at all in their
visit. No politics were talked after
wards. It was not political gather

From authoritative sources it was
learned that the visit of Governor
Deneen and Attorney General Stead
had to do with the Chicago and Alton
deal. which figured in the Hartman
investigation before the interstate
commerce commission. The president
was anxious to learn what was being
done or what the state contemplated
doing in the matter. ....-.

Feet ONE OF THE CAUSES
FOR THE SLUMP.

New York, March 20.-Prices crun1-
bled away during the first hour of
dealing in the stock market and the
precipitancy of the decline recalled
the market of last week and gave rise
to renewed uneasiness. The greatest
sufferers from the renewed pressure
were the Hill and Hartman stocks

3 and many active stocks between 2
and 3. Selling for foreign account
was an important element in the weak
ness and fears were entertained that
trouble was brewing in some of the
foreign financial markets. It was be-
lieved also that there was selling out
OF accounts that were helped through
the slump Of last week on condition
that opportunity should be taken of
the first recovery in the stock market
to reduce holdings.
The break in the first hour was
ascribed to a variety of causes, chief
among them being persistent rumor
that one or more failures are i'm
minent. London sold about 10000
shares in the first hour, chiefly Erie,
Southern Pacific and Steel. The ex-
citement on the exchange was quite
as great as that of last Thursday
Considerable stock was thrown on the
market at any price it might bring:
Firms Make Private Settlement.
Shortly after noon it was learned
from an authoritative source that
private settlement had been effected
between at least two Stock Exchange
firms and their creditors. 1t was also
said that all danger of suspensions or
failures had passed for the day.
The market showed weak spots
from time to time, but the semi-de-
moralization Of the first hour was not
continued. Rallies from the low point
Of between and 4 points for the
weakest stocks occurred as time
passed and nothing happened to JUS
tify the fears that failure was i'm
minent. The market continued fever
ish, however, and fell into dullness
owing to the supposition that assist
ance had been extended to avoid a
failure.
The dip In the market about the de.
livery hour, at 2:15 p. M, seemed to
be due to renewed fears that an un-
favorable announcement was fmpend-
ing. Reading, Union Pacific, Great
Northern preferred, Amalgamated
Copper and American Smelling fell
back to the neighborhood of the early
low point. These stocks subsequently
rallied briskly, some of them rising to
the high point. Union Pacific re-
bounded to 1876 and Reading to above
