State Accountant Gafford Commences
Annual Examination.

State Accountant j. c. Gafford of
Minneapolis has commenced the annual
examination of the state treasury. Two
clerks from the accountants Office are
at work making an inventory of all the
bonds and coupons on hand in the
treasury, for the purpose of determin-
ing whether all the state school fund
securities and other securities are be-
ing properly kept and accounted for.
1t will probably take several weeks to
complete this inventory of the states
wealth, and it is not anticipated that
the slightest irregularity will be dis
covered. The present system of inspec-
ton and accounting does not afford the
opportunities for Irregularities which
existed in the past.

1T MAY BE FORT.
New jersey Governor = Vice Presi-
dental Possibility.

Washington, March 3.@The other
day when President Roosevelt enter
tanned John Franklin Fort of New
Jersey at luncheon, the nation began
to gossip. They had heard of John
Franklin Fort before. They had
heard New Jersey suggests his pos
session of vice presidential dimen-
sions, but when the president broke
bread with John Franklin Fort
across the White House table. official
Washington took its first official
recognition of this New Jersey gov
ernor, and now John Franklin Fort
may be said to be an active presiden-
tiaI candidate for the tail of the Re-
publican kite.
Less than a year ago Fort was al
most wholly unknown as a political
factor and sat with dignity and honor
on the supreme court bench of New
Jersey. Today he is looked upon as
a promising candidate for vice presi-
Dental honors in the event of the
naming of Secretary Taft or some
other westerner for the presidency.
Fort is not particularly popular
with the machine element in New
Jersey politics and yet he has demon
strated splendid abilities at the head
of New Jerseys ship of state. He
was elected by a majority that was
$4,000 votes less than his predecessor
received, and had he not been able
to amalgamate the machine and the
new idea forces in Essex county OF
New Jersey he would probably have
been beaten. Perhaps his success is
due as much to Senator Colby, the
young man who introduced new idea
politics in New Jersey three years
ago, as to any other force. As a re-
suit this Senator Colby is close to the
Fort throne and yet the governor is
decidedly inclined to run his own Of
flee as he sees fit. He has violated all
sort of precedents in his appoint
ments and he has demonstrated be-
yond peradventure his intention to be
his own master regardless of political
fates. President Roosevelt referred
in favorable terms to Forts in
augural address in his recent mes
sage to congress. This has sent Fort
stock up several points in the
estimation Of %-new idea" propagan-
dists, but there has been no throwing
up of hats by the regulars
Senator Colby was with Fort when
he Iunched with the president the
other day. 1t is believed that F'or'
ana Colby may undertake a Taf
movement in New Jersey, where
presidential favor now seems d.
vided between Hughes, Knox and the
secretary of war. It is not improbable
that in event of such a movement
should success be attained, Governor
Fort would more than ever appear OF
the horizon as a vice presidential ia.
vorite. He is Republican born and
bred, and a man of strong persona
traits. He Is a lawyer by profession
and a turfst in fnolinations.
