CLAIM JUGGLING OF TICKETS
Delegates to Land Convention In
sist on RedtstributiOn of
Same at Denver,

DENVER, Colo, June ls.-At the open
Ing of the public lands convention today
Fred p Johnson, secretary Of the conven-
tion and a member of the general COM
mittee, announced that the work OF the
committee on credentials had been handi-
capped by indscriminate issuing Of dele
gates tickets and declared that all OF the
work would have to be done over. it being
impossible to separate the accredited dele
gates from others holding delegate tickets
who were not entitled to them. In order
to avoid the possibility of charge that
the convention is inimical to the admin
istration the general committee had en-
trusted to Mark Woodruff OF the Pike s
Peak forest reserve force the duty Of re-
ceiving credentials and issuing tickets, and
by innuendo he was accused of attempting
to defeat the purpose of the convention by
issuing tickets to supporters of the admin
lstration who were not accredited dele
gates. Every delegate was required to
present his credentials again and get new
ticket
Ample opportunity was given the dele
gates to air their grievances regarding the
regulations and restrictions on the use of
tho public lands enforced by the federal
departments and set forth their views as
to the policy which the government should
adopt on these questions. All resolutions
introduced were referred to a subcommittee
of the committee on resolutions, consisting
of Frank II. Porst OF California, Clarence
b. Douglas of Indian Territory, +. w. Ross
of Washington, Patrick Sullive. Of Wyo-
ming and s. Luna of New Mexico.
The first subject on the program today
was THE Public Land Policy, Past and
Present" The discussion was opened by
Congressman Robert w Bonynge OF Colo
rado,
The first report of the committee on Gre
dentials precipitated q lively debate when
1t was discovered that the committee had
given to Colorado one vote for every dele
gate present and one for every delegate
accredited, making a total of 496. With
the other states only those present were
given votes.
Murdo Mckenzie, president of the Ameri-
can National Live Stock association, and ar
adherent to President Roosevelt's leasing
policy. led the attack on the report Sena-
tor Warren seconded Mckenzie. He de-
manded to know whether the convention
was a meeting Of Colorado people or a
meeting of the people of the entire west
The report was referred back to the com
mittee with orders TO bring in report in
accordance with the call
To Congressman Frank w Mondell OF
Wyoming had been assigned on the pro-
gram the subject, THE Government as a
Landlord" He traced the various steps
taken of late leading in the direction OF
government landlordism and characterized
President Roosevelts plan to provide for

ture lands of the west on the same gen

LOUISVILLE, KY. June 1s.-The repub-
lican state convention was called to order
soon after 12:9O p. m. by r. P. Ernest,
chairman OF the state central committee.
Judge w. Holt was chosen temporary
chairman.
Former Governor w. o. Bradley was
chosen permanent chairman Of the con-
vention. On accepting the chair Governor
Bradley spoke in part as follows:

No delegate should faii to support the
most available man because he may think
he will not assist in continuing him in Of

because he has not endorsed him, but has
endorsed another for ofilce. Men are
OF small Importance, principles are vital
men live but day, but principles are
eternal.
Your platform must be clear, concise
Of a pioneers rife. It must be a living,
breathing embodiment of republican prin-
ciples, free from all side Issues
The wonderful administration OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the universal propriety
that prevails throughout the country, the
immense volume of our commerce at home
and abroad, the almost innumerable army
OF contented workingmen that throng our
shops and factories, the host OF prosperous
farmers and laborers peace at home and
abroad--all these shall speak in trumpet
tones in our behalf
Our democratic friends have but two
candidates for presdent-one the brilliant
but erratic statesman who already stands
condemned by the highest intelligence of
his party; the other the great and mys-
terious Individual whose name seems to be
unknown except TO our good neighbor,
Brother Watterson. but whose name
doubt not is Dennis"
On the other hand we have a wealth of
candidates, any one of whom can win In a
walk.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Bradleys speech
the convention took a recess.
Interest in the endorsement of a
candidate for president Of the
United States in 1903 overshadowed al
other interests in the issues be-
fore the republican state convention
which met here this afternoon. The
lines have been so sharply drawn between
the Fairbanks and Taft elements that 1t
is said in the interest OF harmony no name
will be decided on and that the matter
will result in an endorsement OF President
,Roosevelt's policies and a Roosevelt man.
Hon. Augustus e, Wilson of Louisville

was decided upon late last night for tenn.

as a victory for the anti-Taft element OF

MONTANA IS SHORT OF FUEL
Famine Worse Than That of Last
Year Probable Unless steps
Are Taken 60 Pre-
vent It.

WASHINGTON. June 1e.-Strenuoua
measures have been adopted both by the
government and by the railroads, to avert
fuel famine in the west and northwest
which is thought to be impending next
winter. Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific railroad, recently wrote
to Commissioner Lane OF the Interstate
Commerce commission, suggesting the
probability of fuel famine in the west
and northwest next winter that exceed in
its serious possibilities the famine of last
winter. He advised that every effort be
made by the commission to induce con-
sumers, including the government, to lay
in supplies of coal during the summer
months, pending the movement OF the
crops in the early autumn. Commissioner
Lane Immediately took up the matter with
Secretaries Garfield and Taft, urging that
coal supplies at all depots OF the govern
ment be put in at as early a date as pos
sible. The subject was considered at the
last cabinet meeting held before President
Roosevelt left for oyster Bay. and 1t was
decided that the suggestion should be
adopted.
Cabinet Endorses Movement.
Secretary Garfield wrote to Commissioner
Lane in response to a letter which the
commissioner had written him on the sub
ject, his letter containing this paragraph:
II beg to acknowledge your letter of
June 7th, with the enclosure from the
president Of the Northern Pacific. His
suggestion regarding fuel is an admirable
one, and will be acted upon by the depart
ments."
Commissioner Lane has received from
B. T. Staunton, chairman of the railroad
commission of Montana, a circular, which
the commission has issued, respecting an
Investigation into the subject of the coal
supply now In sight and to be available for
the use OF citizens OF Montana during the
winter months of 1907 and 1903. The In
quiry shows that a coal shortage exceeding
that of the past winter is not only pos
sible, but probable, unless steps are taken
to avert It. and the commission advises the
people to put in their supplies OF coal at
the earliest possible date.
Commissioner Lane has advised that the
city of Los Angeles, California has made
arrangements to put IN a full supply OF
coal during the early summer months, and
he has learned that the railroads OF the
west and northwest are placing at their
various supply depots all the coal they can
store conveniently.
