200 CONTESTS
TO BE DECIDED
MANY TRY FOR SEATS
AT CHICAGO MEETING.
Majority of Contested Cases Come
From South and Nearly Every In-
stance Is n Case OF Taft Against the
Fleld-War Secretary's Men VIII Be
Successful I'm Number of Instances.

Chicago. May 27.-With the explra-
ton today for the time allowed con-
testants for seats in the republican
national convention to file their pa
pers with the republican national
committee, 1t is evident that from $50
to 200 places are to be decided. The
committee will meet early next month
and from that time until the opening
of the convention the contests will be
heard.
In a majority of the contests it is a
case of Taft against the field. Nearly
all of the contests, including several
for delegations at large, come from
the southern states, the most notable
exception being the sixth district Of
Ohio, where an antl-Taft delegation
Is seeking seats in the convention.
From present appearances the Taft
men will be successful in a majority
of the contests.
In no republican national conven-
tion since 1892 have there been so
many federal officeholders as dele
gates as there will be in the conven-
ton which is to gather in Chicago on
June 16. In the southern states there
is the usual downright feud between
the Lily Whites and the out and out
black delegates for recognition, and
Il is over these contests that the ma
tional committee is expected to have
the most trouble. There are to be
992 delegates at the convention, as
follows:
Alabama, 22; Arkansas, IS; Califor-
mia. 20; Colorado. 10: Connecticut, IA;
Delaware. 6; Florida, 10; Georgia, 26;

Railway mail service between
Walla Walla and Wallula and Walla

pouched in the local office will here
after be made up on the train by the
railway mail clerk. This shuld make
the distribution of early morning mai!

STRIKE OF PAVING GANG.
Yakima Street Work Stopped by Ia
Dor Troubles.

Work on grading North Yakima's
business streets preparatory to paw
ing, came to standstill Tuesda,
when 65 men threw down picks and
shovels and refused longer to work
for $1.75 per day, says the Yakima
Republic.
The strikers ask for 50 per day and
will not work for less, they declare.
There are two men at work on the
job now without counting the team
sters, who would not strike in SYM
pathy with the shovel men.
Contractor McKivor refuses to meet
the demand of the strikers. When
phoned to by his time-keeper while
he was at lunch as his home. he re-
piled:
Let 'em go; can get 10 times as
many men as 1 need from Seattle or
Tacoma They will be glad to work
for $3.50 per day, and so will these
fellows before the job is over"
Contractor Refuses 70 Pay More.
Immediately following the CONVEX
sation over the phone Mr.. McKivor
on the scene where stood
hundreds of men, some shouting their
sympathy to the striking laborers
while others denounced them for
their stand There is, however, more
sentiment favorable to the strikers
than there is against them. Mr.. Nc
Kivor called the men together and ad-
dressed them, saying:
"Any man who wants to go to work
for the usual wages may pick up his
shovel and begin. All men who think
$1.75 is not enough and VIII orefuse to
work unless paid more may walk to
my office and receive their pay for the
half day they have worked. 1 can do
very well without you, boys YoL
need not come back unless you in
end working for the price l have
,een paying you"
