Chicago, June 1S.-The matter OF
the vice presidential nomination Is
still causing much discussion among
the delegates. The delegates from
Iowa are having a bitter fight among
themselves. Dolliver may be forced
to accept the nomination or Cummins
be drafted. Senator Borah, who Is
acting for the administration, was
lust as confident of Cummlns's nom
nation as he was Wednesday after
his conference with the "standpat"
members of the delegation.

Chicago, June 18.-The Missouri
delegation did not attempt to caucus
Wednesday. 1t was not ready to talk
on vice president. The trouble was
that the delegation woke up to find
the federal anti-injunction plank a
source Of trouble and everybody began
at once to debate 1t. The opposition
was the most noisy. AS a rule the
Missourians had not talked about 1t
before, but they waded into 1t when
they did.
The contest over the three Missouri
districts that had contesting delega-
tons were settled in the credentials
committee Just before daylight
Wednesday. The delegations instruct
ed for Taft were seated by the creden-
tials committee as they had been by
the national committee.

Chicago, June 1S.-The fight over
the anti-injunction plank which II is
proposed to insert in the national Re
publican platform will be transferred
from the subcommittee. which has
drafted the platform, to the full reso-
buttons committee and possibly to the
convention itself. This Is the one big
fight between the supporters Of Roose-
welt and Taft, who stand for progress,
and the interests which have steadily
contested every proposition advanced
by the administration. It has been
won by Roosevelt and Taft before the
subcommittee.
The draft Of the platform is com
plete and the opposition Is entirely
conferred on the antilnjunotion plank.
The administration supporters have
been unable to present . united front
In favor Of the anti-injunction plank.

Burrows, advancing to the front of the

Gentlemen of the convention,

AS Senator Lodge stepped forward
to the speakers table, manuscript in

AUBURN. N. Y, Mar. 3o.-The
crime for which Chester T.. Gillette
was sentenced to forfeit his life in the
electric chair in Auburn prison today
was the murder of his sweetheart,
Grace Brown, near. Big Moose IN the
Adirondacks on July II, 1906. Gil
lette was convicted on circumstantial
evidence after sensational trial in
which the pathetic love letters of
Willy Brown, as the girl was fa-
ailiariy known among her associ-
ates. to Gillette, played an important
part. The girl who persisted in the
waters Of Big Moose lake had trusted
Gillette to make amends by the
wrong he had done her by making
her his wife, and her letters which
were found in the young mans room
after his arrest at Eagle Bay, have
been considered by many as classic

This is the day upon which her

will demonstrate to all men, the
merit Of its organization and the
plentitude of its talent. The Astoria
theatre will be literally crowded to-
night at the initial concert given by
and under the auspices of, this no

voices, devoted culture and illimitable
rehearsal can do to make a charming
success, will find expression this
night in Astoria; and the poorest
hope that can be entertained is that
the day may find annual and ampH

cause of the sheer excellence of the
art as a refined attribute of the COM

NEEDED RIGHT HEREl

There is a plain and patent lessons
to be drawn from the presence Of the
United States transport Sherman in
these waters, and that is the crying
need Of marine hospital at the
mouth of the Columbia river. We are
not saying it should be erected and
maintained within the corporate limits
Of Astoria, nor even open this bank
of the Columbia, though, naturally,
we should be glad to have it where its
influence and revenue might be dis
tributed directly for, and in, this city,
but we are asserting the entire ex7
pediency of the establishment Of a
large and modern concern Of the
kind here at the mouth of the river,
where just such cases as the Sher-
mans may be disposed with celebrity
and comprehensive success.
The Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service Of the United States
is incomplete, for want Of just such
an agency in the Columbia; the mat
ter is Of statewide significance and
value; Portland should stand pat on
such plea and proposition and con
tribute her best influence in the secur-
ing of it. 1t will prove ready solu-
fion Of the vexed question Of sending
such vessels to San Francisco, simply
because there Is not eficacious equip
ment and service here, and put the

ports on the coast,

THE LOCAL TAXPAYER.

While all minds and energies in
Astoria are bent to the prosecution
of the essential improvements here
about, il is well to bear in mind the
taxpayer of Astoria and Clatsop, and
90 urge and achieve things as to
make them as fair and light for him
and her, as the possibilities Of each
case admit.
When it comes to the issue Of real
effective justice, the taxpayer Is the
only one who should have the final
word in the launching OF the big
projects for which he is the pay
master direct; the mere voter, with
eut property is not qualified by inter-
est, exact and potential, for the or
daining Of big things that cost moth
ing save his vote; while the man and
woman who pays the tax and cost of
everything, is logically equipped to
weigh and pay, while the propertyless
man takes over the benefit and enjoys
the gratuity.
We believe in the old New Eng
land public meeting. The assembling
Of those who are next and nearest
the subject Of popular discussion and
enterprise, who are responsible for it
from start to finish; and a close ad-
herence to the major wish as ex-
pressed there. An organic admins
trative body like the Common Coun-
ell, or the County Court, or the civic
commissions, may have a latitude Of
power that exempts them from the
need of reverting to the people they
stand for, and may legally do things
that are not altogether equitable in
their outcome. There is tendency
everywhere, and at all times, TO dis
tount the taxpayer upon the simple
predicate that because he is tax
payer upon the simple predicate that
because he is taxpayer he IS able
to bear the brunt Of whatsoever may
be imposed; but this a cardinal blum
der, and is the cause of endless
trouble to communities and their
municipal agencies who have failed
to conserve the rights of their tax
payers. The equities Of the Astoria
taxpayer do not vary from the rule,
and it we're we'll to give them all the
honest consideration due, and thus
avoid issues, complications and de-
feats inseparable from the reaction
that travels hot-foot on injustice
