WILL ROOSEVELT RUN?

Just about the time, that we
make up our mind that every
thing has been settled as to the
republican nomination for the
presidency, that William Taft
is certain to be the man, some
thing breaks loose that revives
the Roosevelt boom and skaters
all calculations as a Kansas cy-
clone skaters a house of cards.
There is no Disgusting the
fact that there is a tremendous
sentiment in the country for
President Roosevelt's re-nomi-
nation and no force in the re-
publican party can prevent that
denomination outside Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself. He
has said time and again in as
positive a way as it could be
said that he is not a candidate
and will not be considered a
candidate. Yet in spite of all
this the work for his renomina-
ton goes on. It need surprise
no one if the president is forced
to decide while the republican
national convention is still in
session whether or not he will
lead his party in the coming
struggle.
It is not necessary to 60 far
from home to find the Roosevelt
sentiment. The Inter Noun
tain Republican of Salt Lake
City, which represents the re-
publican party in this state is
out with a strong editorial ad-
vocating Roosevelt as the stand
ard bearer. Yesterday the re-
publican state convention in Ne
vada turned down Taft and
adopted resolutions strongly en-
dorsing the administration Of
President Roosevelt.
While Secretary Taft is still
in the lead in the matter of in
instructed delegates, many del
egates are being sent to Chica-
60 without Instructions. It is
also clear that most of Taft's
men are for him because they
feel that such is the wish of
the president.
If they felt that there was a
likelihood of the president ac-
cepting the nomination they
would flock to him almost to a
man. A stampede to Roose-
welt is one OF the most likely
outcomes Of the republican con-
~vention. His personality COM
pletely dominates the republi-
lican organization. Utah State

READY FOR CRITICS.
Gompers Going to Denver Prepared to
Defend His Course.

Washington, Nov. 6-Ready to an
swer before the convention attacks
which have Seen made upon him for
his course in the recent presidential
campaign, Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
left today for Denver, where the twen-
ty-eighth annual meeting of that or
ganization begins next Monday. In an
Interview printed in the Post today,
he is not candidate for reelection
in the sense that he seeks the office,
although he would be glad to serve
again if it is the will of the conven-
ton.
"I am, however, in the American
Federation of Labor to stay" said Mr..
Gompers, land if l do not stay as pres
ident 1 shall stay in the ranks. 1 be-
lieve in the course 1 have pursued and

able to Him.
He Would Not Have Served Un-
der Anybody Else.

Washington, Nov. 6.-That President
Roosevelt may be the successor of Sem
ator Platt in the senate is considered
by many in Washington as not at all
improbable
Those who regard this as possible de-
clare that they have assurances from
the president himself that he would
not be entirely averse to the accept
ance of the senatorial office under con-
ditions as they will be after the fourth
of March. So far as is known he has
made no recent expression on the SUBJ
Ject, but he has said within the past
year that with Mr.. Taft as president,
he would not feel the same hesitancy
about entering the senate that he
would feel with some one in the White
House with whom his relations were
not so intimate as they are with Mr..
Taft.
His general attitude has been ad-
verse to entering the senate because
he has felt that as member of that
body he would be called upon to criti-
cize his successor in the presidency and
this he would feel delicacy about do
ing. He has said. however, that, know
ing Mr.. Taft as he does know him and
agreeing with him in all essentials as
he does, he is confident that there
would not be any occasion for antagon-
ISM. ne mas not gone 10 tnat extent
at any time of indicating that he would
desire the office even with Taft as
president, but merely has said that
with him in that position his chief rea-
son for not desiring the senatorial po-
sition would disappear. Even this much
has not been said since there has been
any certainty of Mr.. Taft's entering
the White House, but the presidents
outline of his attitude is now recalled
as offering a possible solution of the
senatorial ENHANCEMENT in New York
and as making an. opening for the con-
tinuance of Mr.. Roosevelt's public ca
reer.
1t is even suggested that the absence
of the president on his proposed Afri-
can hunting expedition need not nec-'
essarily stand in the way of his cleo
ton, but rather that such absence
might relieve the situation of embar-
rassment to him in case his friends
should desire to press his name. A

FRENCH BLUFF WINS.
Germany Recedes From Her Position
on the Casa Blanca Affair.

Paris, Nov. 6.-The crisis between
France and Germany which arise over
the arrest of German deserters from
the foreign legion of the French
army by the French authorities at
Casa Blanca, has seemingly been dis
PEELED over night. 1t is now apparent
that Germany is ready to abandon her
recent demand for the release of these
men-and that she excuses the action
of the French soldiers who are alleged
to have attacked an official of the
German consulate at Casa Blanca
Both Her Won Schoen, the German
foreign secretary and Prince
Won Radolin. the German
ambassador in Paris have changed the
tone of their utterances and today
they are manifesting a conciliatory
spirit and a readiness to accept the
proposal made by. France whereby,
with mutual expression of regret, the
entire incident may be referred to
arbitration,
The German foreign office expects
to receive in the course of the day. a
final decision from Emperor William
who is at present in Austria. Now
that the question of excuses which
imply censure upon the French sol
diers is out of the way, the French
foreign office is confident that the re-
naming Emergencies can easily be ad-
justed. AS a further evidence of her
loyal attitude France has voluntarily
transmitted to Germany the report on
the occurrence made by the police of
Casa Blanca.
1t is understood here that both
Austria-Hungary and Italy advised
Berlin to follow a course of prudence.

KANSAS NEAR THE TOP.
Stands Next to Minnesota As a Flour
Milling State.

Kansas City, Nov. 6.-Kansas is
not only the most important wheat
producing state in the Union, but it
stands second as a -four milling state,
Minnesota alone SURPRISING it. This
is made evident by statistics compiled
by r. E. Sterling, Kansas City man
ager of the Northwestern Miller. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Sterling's reports, there
are 234 flour mills in Kansas, which
made 9,445,000 barrels OF flour in the
twelve months ending last June. They
used 42,315, 900 bushels of wheat.
The years output of the Kansas
mills was sufficient to supply about
million persons with flour.
The Kansas mills have a capacity
for making about so per cent more
flour than they made last year, so that
they could have ground about 6S
million bushels of wheat If they had
run full time.
The wheat crop of Kansas last year
was IA million bushels, and million
bushels were used by the farmers for
seed, so that the mills had sufficient
capacity to grind practically the en-
tire crop. If the milling industry
goes on growing Kansas will have
little or no surplus wheat to ship out
of the state. 1t will all go out in the
form of flour, and thus give the state
a manufacturing profit as well as a
producing profit from the crop.
OF the 234 flour mills in Kansas, ten
with daily capacity of 1000 barrels
or more make nearly fourth of the
flour; twenty-five mills with daily
capacity of 500 to 1000 barrels make
slightly more than fourth of the
output; sixty-two mills with capacity
of 200 to 800 barrels make a third OF
the total, and 140 mills with daily
capacity of 200 barrels or less. make
about a sixth of the total.
The leading milling centers of
Kansas and the daily capacity of their
mills are here shown: Topeka, $3.50;
Wichita. 3,460; Wellington, 1850;
Coffeyville. 1880; Salina. 1,925;
Leavenworth. 1,750; Arkansas City,
1850; Atchison, 1,450; Hutchinson
1,150; Newton, 1,070; Mcpherson,
1,o70; Enterprise, 1850.
The daily capacity OF the mills in
Kansas City is about 1900 barrels.
The Kansas City mills that are on the
Kansas City side are not included in
Mr.. Sterling's compilation of Kansas
milling statistics.
