JOHN HAYS HAMMOND
ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
ON REPUBLICAN TICKET

Washington, June 3.-After cOnsid.
Grafton of the suggestion of his West
ern friends, John Hays Hammond has
decided to enter the contest for the
nomination of vice president on the
Republican ticket. He is being urged
by his friends on the ground that he
is a Californian by birth, has a very
intimate knowledge of all problems,
political and economic, affecting the
West and is now resident of Glouces-
ter, Mass. Mr.. Hammond was former
ly connected with the Guggenheim
Mining company, but has no connec-
ton with the smelter trust. Besides
this Mr.. Hammond has the advantage,
1t is urged, of strong following
among business men and this, it is
considered, may be an important fea-
ture of his candidacy. For the past
year Mr.. Hammond has been engaged
independently in his professional work
as mining engineer without any con-
nection with mining companies.
Mr.. Hammond visited Washington
and it was after several conferences
with his political friends that the de.
cision was reached to make the an
nouncement of his candidacy.

REVISE THE TARIFF.

The national election next Novem.
Der will determine who will revise
the riff-republicans or democrats
an diff the republicans win there will
be special session of congress for the
purpose. This was the opinion express
ysed last night by United States Sen
lator William b. Allison of Iowa who
was in Chicago yesterday on his way
home from Washington. The Senator
was not inclined to waste time talk
ing academic politics. He was in a
hurry to get home SO as to be on the
ground today for the Iowa primaries,
i'm which his seat in the senate is one
of the principal bones of contention.
''Of course, congress has left undone
DONE" said the venerable senator, but,
on the other hand, it has done a good
many things that the country will find
contributing to real progress. 1 don't
think the country is going to the bad
just yet. The new money law is
first-class piece of legislation, although
the bankers probably will not take
kindly to it. The interest rate is too
high to suit them, according to the,
information | have received. l be-
lieve however, the act will bring about
the desired element of elasticity which
has been lacking.
Concerning the approaching cam
paign," he said, refectively, my i'm
preston is that Secretary Taft is 60
ing to be nominated by the republic
can convention here fortnight hence.
That is.not only my impression, but
that of a good many well-informed
persons in Washington.
AS to the campaign, it is almost
a foregone conclusion, in my opinion,
that it will settle down to con-
test between the republicans and
democrats on the question of which
is going to revise the tariff

IMPROVE The STREETS
COMMITTEE FAvORS PERMA-
NENTLY FIXING HANOVER.
Would Benefit the Farmers Who Are
Afraid to Drive Along Street Car
Track on Warren.

1t is likely that Hanover street
will be improved this year. The state
made an appropriation to pay its share
OF the expenses and many of the
property owners WANT it improved
Warren creek will have to be bridged
but this will give another road into
the city, and one that will be much
used. A large numbers of farmer.
do not like to drive their teams along
the street car track on Warren street.
and would enter the city via Hanover
street if they had the chance. The
street committee will on Friday night
recommend the improvement of Han
over street.
1t is said that three petitions are
out among the farmers living east of
the city, asking that the driveway on
Warren street be widened where tn,
street car track is, but inasmuch as
the curb and gutter are in on this
street, it would prove very expensive to
the city to widen the driveway, and
at the same time it would prove Il
serious injury to the beauty of the
street, giving it, narrow boulevard
and destroying every shade tree on
both sides OF the street. The prop
erty owners are greatly opposed to this.
The improvement of Hanover street
would in a measure solve the entire
matter, as the farmers could reach
the city without paralleling the street
cG track. Even if the driveway on
Warren street was made wider, ho1scs
would not become less frightened at
the street cars, nor would the danger
of runaways be lessened. There is ples-
widen the street, would give no ma
terial advantage, while it would SER
iously injure the property.
Another solution that has been pro-
posed is for the street railway company
to move its track SO as to 90 north on
Cherry street instead of Warren. This
would be distinct advantage to the
company, for two reasons, First, it
would avoid much trouble OH the
two curves on Warren street, where
the mud and gravel wash over the
track after heavy rains, rendering
traffic difficult, and cleaning off the
mud expensive. Second, it would rem
der the danger of damage suits result
ing from accidents much less, for there
is practically no driving on Cherry
street as compared with Warren. An
other disadvantage of having the track
on Warren street is the fact that
there is much delay caused when fun
eral professions pass along that street.
All in all, it is considered strange
that the street car company selected
Warren street for it's line. when Cher
nv street offers so many less 'disad-
vantages.

Denver Preparing
To Decorate For
Big Convention

"Floral decorations of the most elab-
crate sort will mark the meeting of the
democratic national convention in Den
ver," said resident of this city who
has recently returned from Colorado.
'The people of Denver have gone the
limit in flags and bunting and electrical
displays and have now prepared to car
ry out a campaign of making the city
beautiful with flowers. Prizes will be
given for the best flower gardens in
the yards of residences and immense
interest seems to be taken in the COM
petition.
''In any other section of the country
4 flower appears to be of little cOnse-
luence, but in the mountains they
show up with exaggerated grandeur.
Denver has decided that the limit of
decoration must be reached in the
public parks and along the boulevards,
where there are city flower beds and
the city has expended infinite pains to
make brave showing. Added to this
will be the prise displays of the pri-
vate residences, which will give the
principal residence streets a bower like
aspect, altogether unexpected and
charming in western metropolis.
where irrigation is the principal means
of encouraging vegetation.
Zone of the latest additions to the
entertainment plans of Denver is 81
electric fountain in the principal park.
This fountain cost $4,000 and will be
used nightly during the summer to
entertain the crowds that assemble in
the great park to listen to the music
provided by the city's expense.

rainbow and sends its myriad jets Of
water in all conceivable directions and

at is said that hotel reservations
have already been made in that city for

and visitors and there are still great
many to be heard from. The hotels of
Denver are able to take care of lOO.-

modations."
