PARTY DIcrArIoN.

To the casual observer II will begin
soon TO look as II the president was
carrying his dictation too far. and
mixing up IN local affairs too much
for his own good and the good OF his
party. No doubt the interest he
manifested In the New York state
election was most pleasing TO the po-
litical bosses of his party In that
state, but he did not gain very many
votes from the opposition by so do
Ing. Roots speech may have
strengthened the weakened repub-
leans, but II greatly embittered the
opposition.
The presidents interest In Idaho

In the state, but 1t alienated votes

CAMPAIGN BUNCOM u.

The Recorder does not see where
Taft has strengthened his party so
far as he has been out on the hust-
ings. II he should be placed in NOM
ination and makes as many apparent
mistakes during the entire campaign
as he has made so far, even wooden
man should beat him In the election.
He has returned to equivocations Of
the deceased Hanna by saying there
are good and bad trusts. He went to
Oklahoma to oppose statehood and
the adoption Of the cons titution.
In this contest the republicans OPP
posed the In itlative and referendum,
which means, In Its broadcast sense,
the direct rule OF the people. That
Is 1t gives them the largest pant In a
direct voice In making the laws.
The constitution also demanded a
trial by Jury In cases OF contempt OF
court growing out OF alleged viola
lions OF injunction. This Is now and
has been one OF the handy weapons
OF the employers OF labor, and which
has been greatly abused. 1t has
placed the cause of labor at disad-
vantage In every controversy between
the antagonists. The intent OF the
Injunction law nay he all right, but
1t Is the abuses which thinking men
rail against. Another important
plank of the Oklahoma platform
which the administration was bitter
ly opposed to and exerted every intlu-
ence against 1t was the one which
had for Its purpose the consolidation
Of railroads.
Why It can be said that admins
tration found these planks of the
constitution obnoxious was because
Secretary Taft severely and bitterly
attacked each specifically. On the
other hand Bryan followed up Taft In
the territory and supported all three
Of these planks. On the initiative

KILLED GREY WOLVES.
Cheyenne Hunters Bag Some Big
Game Unexpectedly.

Six Cheyenne huntsmen after ante
lone Sunday morning had the entirely
unexpected good fortune of running
onto a pack of wolves devouring an
antelope and killing two. of the largest
of the pack, says the Cheyenne Tri-
bune. Their mornings work VIII net
them about $120 in bounties and the
money received from the sale of the
hides, which are of considerable val
ne and for which furriers pay good
prices.
The lucky men are George Jacobs,
John James, Gus Jenkins and Andy
Matson. The animals were caught on
n hill not far from the Horse creek
brakes. When the hunters came out
of the brakes and saw the animals on
the hill they thought they were ante
lope. but on cautiously approaching
they found them to be huge gray
wolves. They opened fire, killing
two and wounding two others which
made their escape with the remainder
of the pack which were not injured.
The wolves eagerly devouring a
buck antelope had become unwary
and did not sense the, approach Of the
hunters until too late. The hunters
brought to town the dead wolves and
the unmutilated head of the antelope
bearing a fine pair of horns. The
larger wolf measures about six feet
from tin of nose to tip of tail and
weighs about so or 70 pounds

have been recently unearthed Ill
Alaska by Leo Nabokoff, friend OF
Count Leo Tolstoi. They are ancient
Russian papers showing how Russia
managed to lay claim to the entire
northern coast of North America.
Nabokoff has forwarded some OF
the documents to the governor gener-
al of Canada and they Will In all
probability be exhibited in the Domin-
ion building at the Alaska Yukon-Pa-
cific exposition, which will be held
at Seattle in 1909, as they would
have played an important part in the
history Of the countries the fair will
be held to exploit had they been
brought to light sooner.
1t was while in Sitka where he
was sent by his government to put
in order the archives kept by the
Russian authorities that Nabokoff
discovered the papers. They were
written in old Russion which he had
studied. One of the records was an
order from the Russion government
to the czar's governor of Alaska to
bury tablets bearing the Russian coat
of arms at different points along the
coast which were to be carefully
noted, so that in after years when
the country became valuable they
could be dug uu and used by Russia
to claim the territory.
This was done in part and the pur-
port of some of the documents is
that Russia appropriated the whole
of the Alaska coast. Had these rec
ords been brought to light before
the boundary decision some five years
ago they might have affected 1t, but
now that the coast line is forever set
tied ther are chiefly of interest as rel
les.
Nabokoff located some of the tab
lets and they will be secured for ex-
hibitlon at the Alaska Y ukon-Pacific
exposition. They were buried as far
south as British Columbia. Had
they been unearthed and claim laid
to that territory, the United States
by the purchase of Alaska, would
now own the entire Pacific coast
from Mexico to the Arctic ocean.
