cation, for at this writing that is very
much In doubt. But the 7S votes of
the Empire state are placed in this list
in order to show just how much the
combined strength of the favorite
sons. aside from Secretary Taft would
be able to muster If their states were
solidly behind them. 1t is for the same
reason that Wisconsin's 26 votes are
placed to the credit of Lafollettes
Opposition States Not Solid.
Although Lafollette is strong in the
Badger state, politicians do not ex-
pect to secure solid delegation. On
the contrary they think Secretary Taft
will have a number of Wisconsin del.
egates ple6ge& to vote for him.
So far as New York is concerned,
conditions today foreshadow a similar
result there. Hughes sentiment is un-
questionabiy strong, but it is not over
whelming. Instead, there is decided
opposition to the governor in certain
parts of the state, and this does not
come entirely from friends of the pres
ident, who is known to be doing his
utmost in the interest of his favoraite
cabinet officer. But as stated, New
York with the other states mention

will be made obvious.

had Band of Mercy to plead for
more humane treatment of the an
imsls that are daily made to suf-

The organization of a Band of
Mercy here would have the good
effect of protecting the poor dumb
animal, as when the people who
practice such cruelty would know
that some humane people are in
terested in stopping such cruel
treatment of dumb animals, they
would not expose themselves to
arrest and prosecution aud lots Of

Atchafalaya Board Is Vindi-
Gated.
N. o. STATES.

Complete vindication of the At
chafslaya levee board was contain
cd in a report which Chairman
Sbaffer of the joint committee ap-
pointed under a recent resolution
presented to the Senate last night.
The resolution recited that
though st. Mary, St. Martin and
Iberia parishes had contributed
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in taxes they had received protec-
ton and we're sufferers from the
Atchsfalsys river overAows.
The committee found that it WAS
true that the parishes had paid in
$692, 423, 10, but held that in re-
turn they had received incalcula-
BILE benefit through the construc.
ton by the board of a magnificent
system or levees along the Missis-
sippi river front which had pro-
tected their lands from backwater
overflow.
1t was true. the committee said;
that some of the land in the pa
rishes referred to was under water
but that was true of other parishes
in the district and WAS due to the
unprecedented flood in the Atcha-
lafaya and Mississippi rivers. The
board. to render the relief asked,
would have had to go outside of
its own district which it could not
do under the law, but to meet the
condition Legislation had been pro-
posed at this session which was in
fair way to final passage and
would enable the board ultimate
