The method to be adopted by the
Santa Fe Railroad company has not

merly the old wagon road of the Santa

tablets Will be erected along the right
of way at every place the railroad

tration has been brought face TO face
with the alternative of rejecting all

delay of President Roosevelt, Secre-

TO get Mr. Stevens to change his mind
but he has continued obdurate, and
the indications are that the admins
tratIon will aecede to his request and
that the construction viii be continued

This information concerning Mr.
Stevens created some surprise as Mr.
Stevens testified before the senate
canal committee that he favored
building the canal by contract He
now expresses the belief that the canal
can be constructed by the government
within 10 years His friends advise
him that if contract is let for con-
structfon he will be robbed of the
credit of building it Frequent ex-

acceptance of his resignation If the

with the provision that candidates re-

Action by your legislature in passing

delegate conventions are the conven-

is entitled 10 direct personal paTticfpa-

political right which he can as well ex-

primary election including convention
and delegate systems surrenders the
very principle OF nomination by direct
vote, and Will result in disaster to the
whole plan. In Wisconsin where a d.
