contests ever waged in New Hampshire
The fiat of the machine has gone forth
that the delegation shall be unpledged
until the sentiment of majority of the
delegates at the convention has been as

movement and a number of republicans
of Independent and Rooseveltian leanings
declare, however, that the people of the
state will want their representatives to
vote first, last and always for the man
favored by the President. To that end
they have begun systematic Taft cam

One of the resolutions adopted by the
convention of anti-ma chine republicans in
Concord last November was in favor of
the Presidents policies. 1t is hoped to
make the head of the reform cause see
that strict compliance with this resou-
ton would mean active and energetic sup
port of the candidacy of the man the
President believes best fitted to carry on
the work he had begun. Therefore 1t is
intended to make up the central state COM

Footlights in Texas Speech.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas, January A.
William j. Bryan yesterday practically
announced his candidacy for the presi

moments a ciowd from the balcony OF
a hotel. He came here to fill a lecture
date for a woman's club. but the people
Insisted that he talk of politics. He
spoke of the republican party in about
the usual manrer of recent speeches, and
concluded with these statements:
We have now passed from the valley
of the shadow of death and in passing out
we see the republicans just entering into
the valley and If they have as hard time
as we had we are likely to see some
fun.
Those of you who may never have an
opportunity to hear real live President
of the United States can at least say now
that you heard one speak who on two
different occasions cherished the Nelusion
that he was going to be real live Presi-
dent, and he feels the disease coming on

had several teeth filled with gold and two
false teeth. The teeth of the dead woman
were remarkably sound. Last night when
they took him from Brooklyn police head

JAPANESE POURING IN
VANCOUVER WORRIED OVER
THEIR COMING.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. January 4.-The
unexplained arrival of 300 japanese at
Vancouver yesterday and the prospect OF
an influx of 200 within the next month
from Honolulu are the features of the
oriental situation in Vancouver The
$50 Japanese came from the coast logging
camps and some even from the American
side of the boundary line. Last night
there was the usual crop of rumors that
they came in view of possible trouble
and officers of the Asiatic Exclusion
League are much perturbed over the
event.
More From Hawaii
Yesterday it was announced that al
| least one thousand Japanese would come
from Hawaii during the next three weeks
One steamer already chartered will leave
Honolulu with $50 aboard for Vancouver
next week. Charters are now being ar
| ranged to carry Others Then too, all
accommodations of the steamers of the
Canadian-Australian line have been Sc

Many Good Guns.
OF course. technically, the japanese gov
ernment cannot do anything to prevent
the coming of these Japanese to British
Columbia. for the japanese are free-will
agents, once they have turned in their
passports at the islands, and there is real
ly nothing to prevent them coming to this
port So far, no action has been taken
by the police or other authorities toward
the disarming of the japanese. 1t is es-
timated that there are hundreds of serv-
iceable firearms in the Japanese section.

distance; then. swinging downward the
Iron shOd point, be strikes the skull OF
the seal such a blow that It Is crushed
In as II Of pastebOard. Tossing aside

knife. while the creature Is stil culver
Ing, with a swift undercut and two or
three side strokes the keen blade has
severed the hide and the layers Of fat
beneath so they can be rolled into
pelt the hide holding the fat In its
folds. The next whitecoat Is with its
parents. Their hide is coarser. but
worth having, so the gunner takes
quick aim, lodging a charge Of shot In
the head Of the growing mate just at
the base Of the brain. Here the skull
is thinnest One of the batters stands
guard over the blowhole to prevent
the mother from escaping, while an
other bats the cub. Then the female
who would desert her offspring to save
her own life, is clubbed on the head
A few strokes Of the knives and three
more bloody carcasses crimson the ice
The pelt Of the first seal Is piled with
the other three In a pan. The dag1nan
sticks a flag by its side, and the hunt
ers hurry forward. leaving the pelts to
be towed back to the ship when the
hunt is ended.
Thus the slaughter continues hour
after hour until nightfall only ends the
stroke OF the bat and thrust Of the
knife. If 1t began at daybreak the
field may be strewn with thousands Of
dead seals, for If the pan Of ice is
thronged with them. as is sometimes
the case, hundred men will kill ten
times their number In day, since most
OF the seals are harps. which seldom
try to protect their young. and are
slain without attempting to defend
themselves.-Day Allen Wiley in Met
