The SINNERS followed Captain Iawton
-sith alacrity toward the quarters occu~
pied by the troop OF that gentleman.
While in the presence of the major, the
leader of the gang had felt himself un-
der that restraint which vice must ever
experience in the company of acknowledg-
ed virtue but having left the house, he
at once conceived that he was under the
protection of congenial spirit. There
was gravity in the manner of Lawton
that deceived most of those who did not
know him intimately. Drawing near his
conductor, the leader commenced CON

COLUMBUS, o., May Representative
Burton, who is here in the interest of the
presidential candidacy Of Secretary Taft,
said: ..s
81 am here in accordance with the pro-
gram for a conference in regard to the
candidacy of Secretary Taft and also in
the interest of the primary reform move
ment. The pronunciamentos from Toledo
and Cleveland mean that Ohio will be for
Taft for president, and 1 am very glad
for that. In Washington in promoting
Secretary Taft's candidacy the greatest OBJ
stacle l met was the question. Why, he
won't have his own state, will hep or
question as to whether the state would be
divided. As long as things remained in that
condition I would have insisted on the pri-
mary in order that Ohio should express
its choice. l now feel that the necessity
for primaries has been eliminated"
Chairman Arthur Voris, the manager of
the Taft forces in Ohio, said today:
THE purpose of Taft's friends In agitatlng
now the question OF the choice OF Ohio
republicans for the presidency was to dis
pei the notion that he would not get the
united support OF Ohio. The events OF the
last few weeks seem TO have eliminated
today I'm the voluntary withdrawal without
stipulation, OF all opposition and in the
complete realization that the repub-
Leans Of Ohio are solidly for Taft for
president and the movement will go for
ward now with every prospect Of his nom

After the adjournment of the meetings
of the directors of the Union Pacific and

out a letter from Operating oficer Krutt-
schnitt, which he had read to the directors
of both companies, showing that 40 rails
had been broken during February. OF which
17s were underground rails, which had been
in use only five or six months. This was
a little indication of what the railroads
had to contend with. AS the companies did
not make the rails they were not respons-
ible he said. but It was, however, one Of
the very serious conditions which railroad
companies had to face. Mr.. Kruttschnitt
said that he had discussed this matter with
half a-dozen operating officers Of other lines
and finds their experience to be about the
same.

considers him its strongest representative will be his
nomination by the national Democratic convention.
If the convention again bestows the leadership
upon Mr.. Bryan, it will have to endorse the prin-
cpes he represents and if it does not endorse those

Gratis that controlled the last national convention will
be endorsed by the voting strength of the

The opportunity was given in 1904 and the response
of the party ought to convince the Democratic
mics of Mr. Bryan that the great mass of the party
is in close sympathy with his views If any
cent evidence of the attitude of the party is needed
it can be found in the defeat of Mr.. Whitney of Mas
sachusetts the 5th of the current month. Mr..
Whitney in sympathy with the public service
corporations, with the representatives of predatory
wealth and though more Democratic votes than Re-
publican votes cast, they did not go to Mr.

members very generally of the Mormon church
The Chairman-So it is quite necessary in poll
tics not to offend the church by such step as that
Mr.. French-Well, think they would regard it as
rather breach of faith.
The Chairman-Yes
Mr. French think they would.
The Chairman Naturally.
Mr. FRENCH do not mean on my part but
breach of faith entered into with the leaders of po
cal parties.
Mr.. French employed the plural in his final reply
but it is be presumed that he would be solicit
tous the effect of breach of faith on the part
of the Democratic party which has not been guilty
of placing him in Congress. So, according to a
sworn confession not devoid of sensational features
the leaders of the political party that opened to Mr.
pact with the Mormon church that would be violated
should of its party-nade officials invoke the
law upon member of the church and arraign him
before the bar of justice for papabe crime
1t has been supposed that the compact existed
The ingenious Mr.. French has confirmed the sup
position and the conclusion cannot be hedged about
by doubt. The lone congressman from Idaho is
serving the Mormon church and it need not be said
that he cannot also serve organized labor beyond
the point of permission from the Mormon leaders
for he must keep the faith established by the ma
chine of his party
President Gompers of the Federation of Labor
was within his rights as the executive officer of the
workngmen when he advised them to oppose the re-
election of the partisan-bound Mr. French.

The article says that if Mr.. Bryan "can serve the

been his conclusion known to his personal advisers
since mis- return from his old-world trip. Without

Keeping the Faith.

1t will be observed by the observing that the
Idaho Unlonlst, newspaper spokesman for organ
lied labor takes exception to the request of Samuel
Gompers, president of the Federation of Labor that
the voting representatives of organized labor in Ida
no oppose the reelection of Burton L. French as
member of Congress from this state
The case of Mr.. French is one that could not con-
sisenty be considered while discussing the claims of
great to positions of honor but the fact that he
is in Congress demonstrates anew that accidents are
likely to happen in the best regulated political fami-
lies, and having happened once or twice. may recur
as the people pass through the valley of humiliation
on their way to the goal of brighter days.
Mr.. Gompers, far seeing man, was undoubtedly
right, for organized labor has nothing in common
with Mr.. French even though he is defended by the
organ of worthy He was the official creation
of the Mormon element in Idaho, operating in
spirit of fraternal union with the managers of the
Republican party, and Mormonsm and organized
labor do not affiliate in this state
On account of his position as a member of Con-
gress, Mr.. French was one of the conspicuous wit
nesses the side of the defendant in the senatorial
investigation of Mr.. Smoot, and while yielding I'D
his testimony under oath of course he gave promi-
nence to the questionable statement that poygamous
marriages were thing of the past in the states
where Mormons abide He expressed some regret
that it was not possible to learn the old ones new
tricks, and believed that those that had formed the
habit of violating the laws of God and man ought
to be dealt with with tender socitude by partsans
to whom their votes were valuable.
Somehow, during the course of the examination
IF Mr. French before the Senate committee it oc-
cured to the chairman of that committee to ask the
representative from the State of Idaho what would
,e the effect upon his political fortunes should he
make complaint against some polygamous member
# the Mormon church, he would have right to
10 under constitutional and statutory enactments,
nd have him arrested.
Mr.. French think it would be resented by the
