..-. ture on Record.

Lower House Of Minnesota LeglsIa-
ture on Record.
st. Paul, April 10.-The lower house
of the state legislature has gone on
record in favor of third term for
President Roosevelt by the adoption
of the following resolution, which was
adopted almost unanimously:
Whereas, BY his wise initiative and
courageous leadership the present
president of the United States has
become prominently identified with
the cause of political, social and bust
ness reform; and,
Whereas, The great work of which
he has been and now is the most dis
t1nguished exponent is yet unfinished;
and,
Whereas, With singular unanimity
the great body of the people of the
United States, without regard to polit-
zeal utilization. has explicit confidence
In his great ability, unselfish patriot
ism and answering fidelity to his ex-
allied trust; therefore,
"Be it resolved, by the house of rep
resentatives, the senate concurring,
That the best interests Of the general
government and the successful estab-
lishment of the great public measures
which have been inaugurated by the
present national administration de-
mand the nomination and reelection
of Theodore Roosevelt to the pres
idency of the United States"

day the premier addressed three let
ters to President Golovin, calling the
lower house to account for further
alleged illegal acts and demanding
that steps be taken to prevent their
repetition
The Constitutional Democrats hith-
erto have been in yielding mood, but
their organ, the Rech, now says that
the limit of surrender has been
reached and points out that other leg

entitled to summon experts to hold
legislative hearings before committees
and that the senate the hiphnSt i'll

RESULT OF TW0-CENT FARE
Railroads May Abolish Communication
PASSENGER Rates. -

Chicago, April determination or
suburban passenger, rates in Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania may be abol-
lshed IN the near future This is the
principal subject to be considered at
the coming meeting of the Central
Passenger association, comprising all
the railroads in the territory bounded
on the east by Buffalo and Pittsburg
and on the west by Chicago and St.
Louis. -
The reason given by the railroads
for abolishing the cheap rates now
made for monthly and twenty-five ride
tickets to points within about thirty
miles of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pitts
burg, Buffalo, Indianapolis and other
cities IS that they are obliged to make
2 cents mile the minimum as we'll

TAFT AND CUMM|NS.
Presidential Ticket Favored in
Administration Circles.
BOTH FOR TARIFF REVISION

iowa Governor Said to Prefer Second
Place With, La Toilette, but It Is Not
Believed He Would Decline the Pro-
posed Combination.
Washington, April 1O.-Taft and
Cumm1ns is the Republican national
ticket being "touted" here by the ad-
m1ntstration for next years campaign.
The agricultural West is looked to,
according to friends of President
Roosevelt, to supply the nominee for
vice president and Governor Cum
Minis commanding position in Iowa,
one of the leading granger states,
which has also in It's ranks leaders
such men as Shaw, Dolliver and Hep
burn, which makes him a potential
possibility.
Taft and Cummins are both tariff
revisionists and it would appear from
the gossip Of administration politicians
the revision of the tariff schedule will.
be made a leading issue in the Repubr
lican platform If the Roosevelt ele-
ment of the party can control the next
convention.
Another phase of the talk concern
ing Cummins' possible selection to be
Taft's running mate, always granting
that the president shall be able to
force Taft's nomination, is the fact
that Governor Cummins and Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin are firm
friends.
1t Is true, however, personal friends
of Governor Cummins say that he
would prefer to have La Toilette nom
mated for president and be his run
ming mate than have Taft of Ohio the
first choice. But all who know Cum
Minis feel that he can hardly afford to
decline second honors whether Taft or
La Toilette should be named for the
presidency by the convention.
