POLITICAL FORECAST
FROM WASHINGTON

Washington April 25.-Next weel
win be the busiest since the 1908 cam
paign opened, if the number of state
/ conventions to be held throughout the
country is any criterion. While most
Of these gatherings can be safely fore
casted as to their presidential possi
billties, a few surprises are likely ia
develop.
While no political conventions are
scheduled for Monday, there will be
several banquets and important meet
ings Of a political nature on that day
Grants birthday win be observed by
many patriotic bodies in the large cit.
les Of the land. One Of the most i'm
portant Of these will be the Grant Day
dinner in Pittsburg. when P. c. Knox,
Pennsylvania favorite son will de-
liver the principal address. Secretary
Taft will begin the week in Connect
cut, and on Tuesday will go to New
York, where he will deliver an address
before the Civic Forum. He has chos-
en- for his subject on this occasion
"The influence of the United States
on Popular Government of the World. "
The Independence league will hold
its second annual banquet in New York
on Monday evening. and 1t is expected
that William Randolph Hearst will
take advantage Of the occasion to an
nounce some Of the plans Of his new
political organization.
Republican state conventions to Sc
lect delegates at large to Chicago will
be held on Tuesday in Arkansas, Colo
RADIO and South Carolina, while repub-
ican primaries will be held in New
Jersey and the District of Columbia.
Democratic state convention at which
Denver delegations are to be selected
will be held on the same day in New
Jersey and Connecticut.
The Colorado convention will be
held in Pueblo, and is certain to in
struct its delegates for Secretary Taft,
1t is almost certain that the Hot
Springs convention will also go on rec
ord as favoring the war secretary
Similar conditions exist in South Caro-
lima, where most of the white republi-
cans look upon secretary Taft as the
logical successor of President Roose-
welt. The primaries in New Jersey
and the District of Columbia are also
almost certain to be to Taft's advan-
tage in the presidential race.
William Jennings Bryan will likely
find lively opposition in both the demo-
cratic state conventions to be held on
Tuesday, that of New Jersey and Con-
necticut at New Haven, A majority Of
the democratic voters of New Jersey
art thought to favor an uninstructed
delegation to Denver. Both Judge Gray

She saw Joe Miller hoeing corn.

Joe got a wife as time went by,
And built a house two stories high,

And alas for Joe a horrid scold.

bly, receive the endorsement of the
Vermont convention and that of West
Virginia AIississippis delegation will
likely be uninstructed, but favorablg
to Taft, since the administration forces
are apparently in control of the situa-
tion. The Alabama convention will
be that of the Davidson, or anti -Roose-
welt faction and will probably support
Foraker. The Roosevelt faction in
Alabama will hold a convention later,
and there will be contesting delega-
tions from Alabama to the Chicago
convention.
The Maryland republican state con
vention will be held in Baltimore on
Thursday, and while the delegation
may be left uninstructed. it will doubt
less swing into line for Taft when
the roll is called at the national CON
vention The Main convention which
will be held in Portland on the same
day is also claimed by the Taft ad-
herents, although this is denied in
other quarters. North Carolina's
white republicans are Taft boomers,
almost to a man, and the state conven-
tion, 1t is deem almost certain, will
take action which will result in a
Taft delegation to Chicago.
Two Taft delegates will be elected
to represent Alaska in the republican
national convention, in territorial

TAKING AN INTER EST.

1t is gratifying to know that the vot-
ing public is beginning to take a live
ly interest in the municipal campaign.
Every indication now points to an ex-
ceptionally heavy vote in Mondays
elections
1t is a good sign for any community
when it takes an intelligent interest
in an election. The more interest ,ANen,
the better chance there is of electing
the best men to office.
The municipal affairs of Walla Wal
la undoubtedly demand the city's best
administrative talent. and it will get
this talent if the ordinary business
man, who ordinarily does not pay much
attention to politics. takes sufficient in
terest in public affairs to look over the
list of candidate and make up his
mind to vote irrespective of politics,
for the best man for each place to be
filled.
That the ordinary business men of
Walla Walla and the farmers and la
boring men and good citizens gener-
ally are now doing this is a most hope
full sign.

SHELDON FOR TREASURER.

If there was any doubt as to where
"the interests" stand in this campaign,
that doubt should be dispelled by the
action of the executive committee of
the national committee in the manner
in which the committee selected George
Sheldon, of New York, as treasurer of
the republican campaign committee.
Yesterdays dispatches told us that
the candidate and party leaders had
agreed to name Congressman McKin-
ley for this position and it was general
ly believed that the selection of Mr..
Mckinley would be ratified by the COM
mittee.
And the selection would probably
have been ratified had it not been for
the fact that William Nelson Crom-
we'll appeared on the scene.
William Nelson Cromwell needs no
Introduction.
He is known as the highest priced
corporation lawyer in the world, and
since he received fee of a cool mil
lion dollars for his services to the old
Panama Canal company his abilities
have been unquestioned.
William Nelson Cromwell can be
found where the money is. You can
always depend on that.
And when William Nelson tele-
graphed the executive committee of the
national committee that he had a can
didate for treasurer of the committee,
the powers that be in the republican
councils knew what it meant. And
they waited the arrival of William
Nelson.
George Sheldon, of New York, is. as
far as national politics are concerned,
nonenity. He is merely the funnel
through which the trusts will pour out
their wealth in an endeavor to put

THE BRYAN PERSONALITY.

1t is announced that Mr.. Bryan will
be nominated by ac, lamation at Den
Yer, and there really seems to be no
doubt about it, says the Portland Jour-
nal. 1t might have been said when
Mr.. Bryan returned from his world en-
circling trip. and before he made that
famous Madison Square Garden speech,
that were it then convention time, there
would have been nothing to it but the
formality of naming the Nebraskan;
accepting what he advanced as cam
paign gospel, and after the Incidental
shouting and other manifestations of
enthusiasm, adjourn and go home. Sub
sequent to that New York speech. how
ever, there developed what appeared
to be a considerable change in senti-
ment. The national-ownership of rail-
roads idea, as put forward in the New
York address was seized upon by the
anti-Bryan forces and for some weeks
perhaps We should say months there
was great activity to get some other
available democrat into line against
the time when the national convention
should actually be held. Mr.. Bryan
