l another term or name his successor. This is not confined to the conserva- ! tive or reactionary element of the party but some of the most radical | leaders are uncompromising in their ! opposition to Secretary Taft. The most striking inStance of this is Senator LaFollette who has locked horns with
 Secretary Tafts managers in the northwest in a fight for the delega- tions in that section. As far as re- ports have reached Washington this week all of the presidential candi- dates are making progress with the
 exception of Secretary Taft. Even Vice President Fairbanks who has
 been looked upon as outside of the
 pale of possibilities Is developing strength in unexpected localities. Aside from securing an instructed del
 egation from his own state il is now asserted that the vice president will have at least a majority if not the en- tire delegation from Kentucky. Here is a state which has been confidentially claimed by the Taft managers as a part of the solid south. Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock and the other federal office holders were cred ited with the ability to deliver this state with all of the others south of the Mason Dixon line.
 The federal office holders have not only failed in Kentucky but now it is asserted that Virginia will not be for Taft. Representative Slemp the only republican member of congress from Virginia and the leader of the state has declared for former Secretary of Treasury Shaw. He says that there is considerable sentiment in Virginia for NIT. Shaw and that there is no doubt that the delegation will be for him when it reaches the national con- vention.
 But the most discouraging reverse which has overtaken the Taft move ment during the week was in New England and Massachusetts. Up to three or four days ago the Taft man agers were making a fight for an in structed delegation from Massachu setts. But Wednesday Senator Lodge who is recognized as the leader of the Taft forces advised against a fight for an instructed delegation from Massa- chusetts. He declared that he thinks that some or the uelesateS rom Massachusetts will be for Secretary Taft but Senator Crane thinks other wise
 And what Senator Crane thinks counts for vastly more in Massachu- setts and New England than the opin- ions of Senator Lodge. Senator Crane is the real leader in Massachusetts and he has always been able to get what he goes after in his state. Sen ator Crane is not only one of the most astute politicians in the country but is extremely popular with all classes in Massachusetts Although extremely wealthy he is popular with the labor ing classes and the humblest employe in his mills refers to the Senator eff fectionately and familiarly as ;Mur- ray" They do not know Senator Crane up in Massachusetts but every

THE SHIFTING
 OF PROSPECTS
For the Republican Presi- dentidI Nomination
An Estimate That Taft Was Not strengthened by the Special Message.

Washington. D. C., Feb. S.-(SpeciaI Correspondence of The Republican, The presidents extraordinary message to congress divided Washington's poli- ticians into two classes. There were those who believed that it was a bid for another term and those who thought it was an effort to strengthen the now fast declining Taft boom.
 That every member of the house recognized it as a political document was evident from the fact that con- Sress has virtually lost sight of pend- ing legislation and has devoted almost a solid week to the discussion of poli- tics. On the democratic side of the house the presidential boom of Wm Jennings Bryan was relaunched All of MT. Bryan's friends that were able to get the floor proceeded to sound his praise. On the republican side the members who were anxious to curry favor with the administration followed up the message with Taft speeches. Very little attention was paid to the recommendations in the message as no one appeared to think that the pres ident expected them to discuss these
 
 called the attention of the house to the fact that the recommendations were already covered by bills introduced in the senate and the house. The prin- cipal demand Of the president was for an amendment to the employers lia- bility act. This was provided for by bill introduced by Senator Knox in less than 24 hours after the supreme court had declared the existing law unconstitutional. There is no opposi- tion Of a serious nature to MT. Knox's bill and as soon as the house and sen ate has gotten through discussing the politics of the presidents message the real legislation of the session will be passed.
 The anti-Taft leaders are insisting that the presidents message was really an acknowledgment Of the collapse Of the Taft boom. Despite the rosy claims which Secretary Taft's mana gers are making, it is apparent there iS revolt in the party against the ef- fort Of the president to either secure

 The indescribable is encountered in the description of the party when it finally got in out of the rain.

ness Situation.

New York, May 18.-James j. Hill.
chairman of the Great Northern board
of directors, who delivered an address
Thursday before the conference of
governors In Washington, has returned
to this city He referred hopefully to
the crop outlook in the Northwest,
saying:
Every one is looking forward hope
fully to the time when business condi-
tions will resume normal aspects. The
crop outlook is good. In some parts
OF the West the conditions are the
most promising In years. In the North
west the seeding is just being finished,
but the conditions under which 1t has
been done are the best In ten years. T"
Mr.. Hill did not care to discuss the
general business situation nor the pro-
posed advance in freight rates.
THE governors" sayd Mr.. Hill, re-
ferring to the recent conference, "do
not till the soil, nor work the mines,
nor cut down the forests; all they
can do is to suggest means for i'm.
provement in agricultural methods and
for conserving the natural resources
of their states. The carrying out of
these suggestions rests with the peo-
pie and the important thing to do now
Is to force home to the people the
facts of the situation. That is why
say spread the campaign of education
that has been started broadcast"

POSSIBLE TRIPLE MURDER
Infant Badly Injured Only Living Per-
son in House.

Matteawan, N. j., May 18.-W. b.
Shepard, a farmer who lived about
four miles south of Matteawan, his
wife and servant named Jennie
Dendy were found dead In the farm
house. II is believed they were MUIR
dered. An infaat, still alive but bad
ly injured, was found lying near the
bodies. All the victims had been shot.
Mr.. Shepard was a dealer in squads
and his place was called the Royal
SQUAD farm. Mr.. and Mrs. Shepard
were about thirty-five years old and
are said to have come to Matteawan
from some town In New York state.
Jennie Dendy, the servant, was a ma
tive of Matteawan.
The murders were discovered by a
Pole employed by Mr.. Shepard. The
Pole carried the news of the murders
to William Wall, farmer near by,
and as soon as the authorities were
notified the farmland was kept under
surveillance.
There was evidence on all sides that
the house had been ransacked from
top to bottom by the murderer or
murderers. The officers are of the
opinion that the motive for the triple
murder was robbery and possibly re-
venge as well.
