PRESIDENTIAL PROBABILITIES.

AS the dates for holding the Nation
al conventions draw nearer, the situa-
tion as to who will head the tickets
becomes simplified, owing to the mum
Der of instructed delegates that have
been elected.
In the Republican convention to be
held in Chicago, Secretary Taft is as
sured of the nomination on the first
ballot. AS to who will be named for
his running mate there is considera-
BILE conjecture. With an Ohio man
for first place, from a strategic stand
point the second place should 90 to
New York, and in that event Governor
Hughes would seem TO be the logical
candidate. While his friends have an
nounced that he will not accept second
place, if nominated it is not proba.
BILE that he would decline. But in
the event that he should refuse to
allow his name to be presented for
he convention consideration, and
o available New York man could be
found, it is not improbable that Fair
banks will again be placed in nomina-
ton. He has made a very acceptable
presiding officer of the senate, and
what is more to the point, would add
strength to the ticket. While it is
a reasonable assumption that Governor
Hughes could carry the doubtful state
of New York, with its thirty-nine
votes in the electoral college, it Is
equally certain that Fairbanks would
carry the doubtful states of Indiana
and Kentucky, with a total of twenty
eight votes, while throughout the
county at large he would probably
make a much better run, owing to the
fact that he has a much more extended
acquaintance.
AS to who will be placed in nom
nation at Denver to lead the forlorn
nope of the Great Unterrified would
seem to be rather uncertain. But for
first place it will probably be Bryan
again. While Governor Johnson OF
Minnesota will probably have a few
votes on the first ballot, his candi-
dacy is not taken seriously by the
politicians for several reasons. Up to
a few weeks ago he was practically
unheard of outside of his own state,
and the only qualification claimed for
him is that he is of Swedish extraction
and would probably carry the Republi
can states of Minnesota and the Dako-
tas, with a total of nineteen votes.
AS there seems to be no candidates for
second place, it is not unlikely that,
failing to secure first honors, the vice
presidential nomination may go to
Governor johnson
If the Silver State News should haz-
ard a prophecy it would be that the
lineup would be: On Che Re
publican ticket, Taft for president,
and Hughes or Fairbanks for vice
president. On the Democratic side.
Bryan for president and Johnson for
vice-president.

Moonshining by school Children II
the newest phase In This species At

On their way to school they carry the
drink, dispensing 1t to whomsoever win

Whether H. m~oonshiners oeheve hat

ors 0s the whis&ey they may escape de-
tectjsa or whether they realize that
the little ones win more customers, in
spectOrx say that more children are
sent out aud each day more Of the
illegal liquor Is sold. Although govern
ment sieuths have driven the willy
moOnshincrs to such straits. the sym
pathy Of their neigilbors In the noun
tains has not decreased. BY ~nsoonsf1in-
er and many mountain villagers alike,
m~oonshining is regarded as a legiti-
mate business, and government insp<c-
tors are regarded when 1t is safe to do
so, as marks for guns.
So there are many persons In such
sections. primitive In their instincts,
and thirsty enough to violate the law.
ready to buy the liquor when there is
a knock at the door and a child stands
there, school bag owe the SHOULDER
albeit a school bag that rags suspi-
ciously with weight.
This, the newest and most startling
development Of the moonshine traffic In
mountain Businesses, follows what the
government officials thought was q
virtual suppression Of moonshining.
Last fall they announced that they
had stamped out the Illegal business.
But they have found that illegal dis
tilling Is no sooner stopped In one sec
ton than other stills, mushroom like,
spring up almost over night In another.
During recent years a number Of
women have been arrested IN charges
of moOnshining. Some Of them had
evaded the search of revenu agents
for nan months. Their stills are
usually we'll secreted deep In b noun
tain Businesses and it takes a careful
search to find them. Women Of the
mountains in the moonshining belt
have long been noted for their bravery.
Often they have stood by their men.
and they handle a gun as well as their
lovers, husbands or sons.
Now that the children are being
| trained in the Illicit business the prob
lem of m~oonshining becomes more seri-
Gus still and the suppression Of 1t will
become more difficult.
