Nomination of Tnft Conceded.
Aside from these outward phases
of convention activity, the serious
, thoughts of the leaders continue to
turn on the balIoting ahead, first on
the presidency, then on the vice-presi-
dency, and finally on the adoption of
the party's platform pronouncement to
the country. AS to the presidential
nomination the figures presented by
the Taft men, and to some extent con-
coded by the other elements, give the
secretary such a commanding lead
that the usual spirit of a close con-
test is wanting. AS Ex-Governor Her.
rick, of Ohio, said tonight:
$50 far as the presidential nominal
tion is concerned, the leaders consider
it settled-settled beyond the shadow
OF doubt--and Mr.. Taft will be nom
mated on the first. ballot by a con-
siderable majority. This is not a mere
claim, it is the statement OF an estab-
lished fact"
Governor Herrick added that while
some contest might be presented to
the credentials committee, yet the
committee on these contests had been
practical unanimity. that the creden-
tails committee would undoubtedly up
hold the careful work which the
national committee had already done.
That spirit OF harmony is abroad
was indicated by the statement thai
Senator Murray Crane, of Massachu
4 sets, who has been one of the leading
/ strategists of the anti-Taft forces, Il
now counseling them not to carr!
! their contests further before the com
\ mittee on credentials.
As to Gicc-Prcsilcmcy.
The presidential nomination having
failed to develop a contest likely to
thrill the convention, the vice-presi-
dency has come forward as real fac
tor of doubt, promising to keep the
convention on the keen edge of eN-
lpectancy until the final ballot is taken
THE most sagacious of the political
prophets frankly admit tonight that
! the question of naming the Nice-Presi-
dent IS ..all in the air." Some OF the

YARD AND GARDEN.
(By Harrington Bakerl

Yard and Garden differs materially from other books on gardening sub. jerts. lt is for the amateur first asd last, for the expert amateur as wefl as for the beginner. lt tells what to do and how to do it, and tells it on the basis of conditions in America, not In England. Threc.fourtns of the best gardening books are the products ot English pens and are written for the use of English gardeners. The Ameri- can amateur who obtains such A beck and attempts to follow its advice-sx- cellent for England fail missr- ably in his plans and planting. Yard and Garden contains information that is based on the experience of years. The author, Harrington Baker, hss made gardening his hobby; he is ss expert planter and landscape architsst, but prefers Co practice only for his own enjoyment. In addition to largs city garden. Mir. Baker nas a country place. where on more extensive grounds larger operations are conducted. From both of these places material for the book has been collected.
 The amateur who SO often is unable 10 find definite information as to where and when to plant, as to the selection of trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, an nuals and hardy and tender bulbs will ! find in this book the information he requires. He is told how deep and how far apart 10 plant, when to plant, how to prepare the ground, how to ool- tivate after planting, how to water, it. The subject of soils is made clear, and especial attention is given to lawns.
 The beginner may learn also how to plan his home grounds whether large
 or small-and he is assisted in the
 work by q number of model designs.
 In the appendix are planting tables,
 and the lists will inform him what wiil
 grow, thrive and bloom in shade a

 are devoted to vines, shrubs, trees, psr'
