PRESIDENTIAL BooMs.

THOSE who desire the presidential nomina-
i ton of the Republican party should become
busv outside of their own, States. The campaign
for Taft is about the only one that has assumed
national dimensions. The Taft men assert that
the Secretary of War will have the delegates not
only of Ohio, but Of many other States and they
are already making confident predictions.
Taft's chief rival appears to be Governor
Hughes. of New York. The governor is not yet
assured of the delegates even OF his own State
His friends must fight for them. And It looks
as though the fight would be desperate one;
The Knox boom seems to be confined to Penn
svlvania There is frantic effort TO make it appear
Senator Knox will get the delegates from this
State but at best this is doubtful. We do not see
ANYTHING particularly attractive about Senator
Knox as a presidential candidate. The Lafol-
1ette boom has not gone beyond the borders Oh
Wisconsin. The Fairbanks canvass has Deen
long before the country, but it has not spread Out
of the State of Indiana. 1t has been most per
sistent boom in indiana.
His many newspaper friends keep alive the
boom of Uncle Toe Cannon. Lately there have
been two important developments in the Cannon
BOOM In New England they are discussing
Uncle Toes qualifications as prominent swear
ing man It is declared that man who "cusses
as much as Uncle Joe is reputed to swear will get
no delegates from the New England States al
though il is remarked by one Massachusetts
paper that the swearing ability of Mr. Cannon
may not operate against him IN the South ana
West Really this is quite condescending OF the
Yankees A Washington correspondent reveals
what he gravely considers a strong point OF the
Speaker. This correspondent says that Mr. Can
non never wears high silk hat, and he has Can
mons word that if elected President the Speaker
would still refuse to wear silk hat.
We did not know that the hat man wears
adds to his drawing qualifications as a presidsn-
tial candidate In view OF this presumably good
point in favor Of Cannon on the hat question, it
is now clear why the New York Herald cartoon
ist put the Hon. l.. Irving Handys hat upon
Judge Gray when he pictured the judge as trying
to head off Bryan's race towards Denver. The
cartoonst evidently presumed that the judge in
the soft hat would pull the Southern Democratic
delegates, whom Bryan is supposed to control.
The soft hat is the favorite in the South
However, if Mr.. Cannon is to block the Taft
boom we believe that issues other than his
swearing qualifications and the hat he wears viii
have to be considered.

former at the Seeey dinner, died in New York

The higher courts of California upset the con-
viction Of politicians found guilty Of grating in
San Francisco; the Missouri higher courts baked
the prosecutions under Governor Folk when he
was district attorney of St. Louis; the higher
courts halted the railroad rate law Of Pennsyl-
vania- Evidently there need be no fear that the
higher courts of some States are disposed to
abandon the moorings OF Conservatism.
