PRACTICAL POLITICS
Will Govern the Selection of a Chair
man.

Chicago, Ills, June 19.-Eight mem
bers of the republican committee left
Chicago tonight for Cincinnati to con-
fer with Secretary Taft concerning the
election of a national chairman to
manage the republican campaign The
Subcommittee appointed at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Taft, who is said to be
somewhat embarrassed by appeals
from friends in Ohio for the appoint
ment of Arthur I. Vorys or Mvron t.
Herrick, that state, and by the demand
made by petition by a majority of the
members of the national committee for
the appointment of Frank H. Hitch
cock. The latter because of the sue
cess of the Taft campaign for dele
gates is being strongly pushed by his
friends while those who are personally
attached to VOrys announced that they
intend to make an effort in his behalf.
Congressman Sherman of New York
accompanied the sub committee to
Cincinnati.
Friends of Hitchcock insist that
more than half of the eight members
will vote for him for chairman, while
the advocates of Vorys say five mem
ter, or some man other than Hitch
cock. 1t is conceded. however, that
the chairmanship depends absolutely
upon the wishes of Taft who has not
publicly expressed any preference.
Nevertheless he has indicated that the
question is one of practical politics
and that no selection will be made for
sentimental reasons.
That the subcommittee is empower
ed to select a chairman and treasurer
was asserted by MryOn T. Herrick aft
er the adjournment of the sub-commit-
tee. All the members of the commit
tee. however. do not understand the
authority given them in the same man
ner as Herrick. 1t is the belief of
these that the committee has au-
thority to elect in the event that Taft
declares whom he favOrs and that any
choice the secretary may express will
be accepted. That he will indicate his
preferences for chairman and treasurer
is not doubted, but it is likely that a
meeting of the fun committee will be
called to fill the positions in the event
Taft does not express a preference.
The secretaryship and the position
of sergeant -at-arms We're settled by
the election of Elmer Dover of Ohio,
and VIM. +. Stone of Maryland to sue
ceed themselves as secretary and SER
geant-at-arms respectively.

tee. was compelled to return To New
York and E. F. Hart of Iowa was sub
stituted.

pany against the Northern Pacific
and other roads. The rates from the
Spokane district are ordered lower
than from the Pacific coast.
n the case of the Western Oregon
Lumber Manufacturers association
against the Southern Pacific, the
commission decides that an advance
of So per ton from all mills in the
Willamette valley, not including
Portland, is unjust and unreasonable,
and that from both the east and west
banks, south of Corvallis, the rate
should not exceed s3.4O per ton, and
upon the west bank north of COrvaI-
lis, $S.65 per ton.
Because of the water rate the
Portland rate was not reduced. In
the case of the Pacific Coast Man
ufacturing association against the
Northern Pacific and other roads, the
commission declines TO establish an
other through rate from Washington
and Colorado common points to east
ern destinations.
1t requires, however. the Northern
Pacific railroad, the Northern Pacific
Terminal company, the Oregon Rail-
road and Navigation company, the
oregon Short Line and the Union
Pacific to- establish through rates on
lumber from the Northern Pacific
line in Washington, north of Portland
as far as Seattle, through Portland
Ogden. Salt Lake City, Utah, and
common points, of 40 cents per 10C
pounds on. fir and spruce lumber and
so cents per 100 pounds on cedar
lumber and shingles as prescribed for
through traffic.
Chairman Knapp and Commissioner
Harlan dissented from the conclusions
reached by the majority in these
cases, on the ground that most o.
the advance rates were reasonable.

THE PROBABLE EFFECT.

Portland. June 19.-The decision o.
the interstate commerce commission
upholding in the main the case OF
the lumbermen of the Pacific north
west ends the contention which for
the past eight months has tied up the
lumber industry in this section of the
country.
At the time the lumber mills shut
down, rather than submit to the ad
vance, several thousand men were
thrown out of work in many localities
in the states of Oregon and Washing
ton and business was paralyZed.
The immediate effect Of the deci-
sion will, however, he questionable.
The demand from the orient for sew
eraI months has been almost nil;
from California it has decreased in a
large per cent, and it is reported that
there is little or no demand for lum-
Der in the east. What demand there
Is has been satisfied by shipments
from southern lumber points further
west than ever before.

WHO'S TO BE
TAfT'S MANAGER
Is the One Question Not
Yet Disposed Of
1t May Be Answered at a
Conference In Cincinnati
Today.

Chicago, June 19-The question who
is to be the next chairman of the ma
tional republican committee is open
and unsettled. The following subcom-
with Secretary Taft and get his ideas:
Clayton of Arkansas, Herrick IF Ohio,
Kellog of Minnesota, Negel of Missouri,
Ward of New York, Borah of Idaho
and Duncan of North Carolina Sec
retary Taft tonight is on a b. & o..
train on his way to Cincinnati where
the conference will be held. He left
Washington at this afternoon after
wiring Representative Sherman to
meet him at Cincinnati.
At least three members of the above
subcommittee are opposed to Frank
Hitchcock as chairman. Twenty four
members of the general committee,
however, met this afternoon at the
Auditorium Annex and signed a peti-
ton asking for Hitchcocfds appoint
ment. Brother Charles p. Taft talked
with Hitchcock and suggested that
both he and Vorys of Ohio, refrain
Hitchcock replied that he had never
been a candidate for the national chair
had taken no steps in that
direction and would do nothing TO en-
barrass the interests of Secretary Taft
The objection IS said not 10 be to
Hitchcock on personal grounds but his
opponents favor some more prominent
public man for the place. Hitchcock
has been the chief manager of the Taft
campaign in Washington and Vorys
has been his manager in Ohio.
1t IS not known who is Shermans
preference; if any, he is likely to favor
Tim Woodruff. Hitchcock stated en-
phatically that he would take no sub
ordinate position. The question there
fore of the selection is much in doubt
Meanwhile Powell Clayton of Arkan-
sas has been elected temporary chair
man to serve until permanent chair
man is appointed.
