sHosHONE FOR TAFT

VIII Instruct for Secretary.

HIS EEteuuH NAtltu NOuHty convention
VIII Instruct for Secretary.
WALLACE, Idaho, April 6.-Taft
boomers of Wallace claim there is
not the least doubt but that the first
county convention will be overwhelm-
ingly for Taft, and that a delegation
to the early republican state conven-
ton will be chosen pledged to the
secretary of war.
Taft enthusiasts have never felt
that there was any danger OF Sho-
shone county republicans going
against the secretary of war, but just
to forestall possibility the Taft club
was formed.
Since the holding of caucuses Taft
enthusiasts are more confident than
ever that the Shoshone delegation to
the state convention will be for the
secretary. Republican primaries for
electing delegates to the first county
republican convention will be held
throughout the county tomorrow
night. Latest news that has come
out relative to county politics is the
report that Attorney James A. Wayne
will be a candidate for county at
torney to succeed Walter H. Hanson.
Mr.. Hanson and Mr.. Wayne are
warm friends, and it is said Mr..
Wayne has the support of Prosecutor
Hanson in his candidacy. 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Hanson will come out
for some other Office, but just which
one seems to be an unsettled ques-
ton.

BACKING THE CANNON BOOM.
Local Republicans Take Steps to Or

A score or more of local men who want
Speaker Cannon to secure the next re-
publican nomination for President, and
who propose to make every effort as far
as campaigning is concerned to bring this
about, met in one of the private parlors
at the Riggs House last night and took
the preliminary steps toward organizing
Cannon boom club. 1t was decided to
call the organization the Interstate Re-
publican Club" which signifies that the
venture is not to be confined to the
Speakers home commonwealth.
The meeting was not conducted on the
close corporation order, but it was not
the desire of those in charge of it that
the proceedings should be made public
not at present, at any rate. They gave
it out that the purpose of the organiZatio
is to increase the hilarity of the Cannon
boom and otherwise advance the Speak

for representation in the next national
convention and declared that this organi-

may use its influences toward the election
of delegates pledged to Mr.. Cannon. Fol-

temporary secretary and instructed to
draw up the proper constitution and by
laws for the organization and to issue a
call for the next meeting. at which time
the club will be permanently organized

s,.c;,, CORRESPONDENCE of The star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
WHEELING. w. Va. February %. 1908.
Pretty good material was turned out by
the legislature in the closing days of the
special session, a contamination devoutly
wished for by those who begun to doubt
the possibility OF good coming out of it.
Gov. Dawson's call was not taken kindly
TO In the first place. Hence many repub-
leans feel relieved and consoled at the
results.
First in Importance in the legislation en-
acted was the bill limiting tax levies by
counties and municipalities. Such a bill
was deemed imperative by the state ad-
ministration in view of supreme court
decision which left the way open for
county courts to place high levies on the
high standard of valuation now in effect.
Lower tax bills were the republican state
slogan in the 1904 and 1906 campaigns.
The embarrassment of higher tax bills in
1923 is avoided by putting the clamps on
the Ievying bodies. which. otherwise
might have been disposed TO boost taxes
SO as to confound the administration
arguments.
The corrupt practices bill was another
measure passed that will make publicity
in campaign expenditures. since it will
cause candidates to itemize their ex-
penses and in this way tend to purify
elections. The bill provides for coping
with the petty and big grafters. An at
tempt to make the bill effective from pas
sage was successfully opposed because II
would have nullified many primaries and
three congressional conventions which
have been called for April The bill
which takes effect in three months. stipu-
lates that no nominations for county o,
congressional offices can be made in q
year prior to May Is or subsequent tt
August Is. thus hitting at both snap anc
procrastinated conventions.

Initial Steps for Annulment.

The iaitial step looking to the annulment
of the -Heany patents were taken yester-
day a -ernoon by Secretary Garfield of the
Departments of the Interior, when he
caused to be forwarded to the assistant
attorney general for the Department, of
the Interior Mr.. Woodruff. all the papers
in the case, ITO revoke the, patent il gill

kept time to the march of events by reg
ficers to the end that they will not keep
all their fees in their pockets as here
tofore. but it was a compromise outcome
and not satisfactory to those who wanted
straight salaries or TO those favOring fees.
A uniform accounting bill. another new
law. will systematize the keeping Of pub
lie records and turn into the treasury, 1t
is contended, money formerly retained by
justices of the peace and other officers.
The McDermott bill prohibiting a rail-
road from gobbling rights of way on
both sides of navigable stream was well
received. Likewise. in Wheeling was
there popular acclaim over the Hazlett
amendment to the license law which
compelS Il municipality to charge the
same rate of license as is chargeable by
the state. This means d doubling of the
liquor revenues in Wheeling, which was
not possible with a city council not in
accord with that idea
On the other hand, the defeat of the
prohibition amendment injected new
| issue in state politics the effect of which
cannot be foretold until the campaign
really develops The revival of the effort
to prohibit the expectation of natural
gas met with defeat, as expected, and
therefore occasoned only mild interest.
The defeat of Senator Campbells amend
ment TO ii will furnish some democratic
thunder which was just what Campbell
was after. The senator from jefferson
| county proposed tax on coal, oil and
| gas. suggested by the original state tax
| commissions plans in the event the ship
| ment of gas was restricted or prohibited.
Virginia Debt Issue.
| The Virginia debt matter has aroused a
| wide suspicion that there is something
doing back of 1t. The legislature is criti-
cised for passing resolution providing
| for an advisory commission composed of
seven republican and seven democratic
| citizens, The people think this action was
| entirely unnecessary. They think the
case should be fought out in the United
States Supreme Court, inasmuch out
side act ion is complicating and suggestive.
| 1t is likely the campaign discussion OF
! this question will revolve around the
point of whether the state administration
| did not make mistake in not abiding
| by the case in court II West Virginia
| loses in that outcome. it is argued, the
| time will then come for meeting the issue
| in other form.
John j. Cornwell. the last democratic
| candidate for governor. named one OF
! the Virginia debt commissioners. has de-
clined to serve. He gives as his rea son
| in effect. that the commission would be
only an advisory body and as the case has
