NOT AN ACTIVE CANDIDATE
Kellogg Prefers That His Name Ee
Withheld,

Chicago, June 16-The Minnesota
delegation at its caucus named Frank
B. Kellogg to succeed himself as men,
Der of the national committee and also
chose him as the states representa-
tive on the resolutions or platform
committee of the convention. The
delegation was enthusiastic in prOpos-
ing the name of Mr. Kellogg for the
vice presidency and asked his permits
sion to present his name to the con-
vention. Mr.. Kellogg discussed the
matter frankly and informally with his
fellow delegates and told them that
as the situation now stands he would
prefer that his name be withheld. In
fact, he practically pledged the dele.
cation to make 40 move in his behalf
unless some unforeseen emergency in
the vice presidential tangle should
arise.
Mr.. Kellogg, following the adjourn
ment of the delegation, was in earnest
consultation with it's members with
regard to his attitude on the proposed
anti-injunction plank, and was told
by some of the delegates that they
regarded weak plank as no plank at
all and they would prefer not to have
any mention of courts or injunctions
that would have the slightest resem.

had recommended Senator J. c. Bur-
Pows of Michigan for temporary chair
man and the recommendation was
unanimously approved.
Senator Burrows was warmly re.
ce1ved as he stepped to the front of
the platform extension arranged for
the use of the speakers.
RooseveIt's Name Appauded.
Senator Burrows opening words
were spoken in modulated but dis
t1nct tone. He constantly referred to
the printed copy of his speech. He
had been speaking about six minutes
when he came to the first mention of
President Roosevelt. He evidently
felt just little excited over the men
ton of the president, for he had some
little difficulty in pronouncing the we'll
known name. After several efforts he
succeeded and at once a demonstra-
ton began, lasting two minutes.
Applause greeted the utterances ap-
proving President Roosevelt's policy
in relation to public lands and an addi-
tional handclapping followed the SEN
'ators expressed regret that the ship
subsidy had failed. The mention of
Elihu Root as that matchless secre-
tary of state" brought the New York
ers to their feet with cheers and wav-
ing flags and handkerchiefs.
The struggle that is going on over
the adoption of an anti-injunction
plank found a place in the days pro-
ceedings when an outburst of tumultu-
Gus cheering greeted Senator Burrows
declaration that: 1.-The Republican
party has no sympathy with the spirit
which would divest the courts of their
= constitutional powers or impeach their
Integrity"
The demonstration was probably the
most enthus iastic of the session and
was repeated when a little further on
in his speech Senator Burrows spoke
Of the refuge which always could be
found in the supreme judiciary.
Senator Burrows was unable to send
his voice to the confines of the Coli
scum and only those in the front of
the hall were able to hear his ad-
dress. Toward the close his voice be-
came weaker and very few of the
thousands in attendance could catch
his words. When he concluded the
roll call of states for the announce
ment of committee members was
called for, but many in the audience
bad no time for this routine procedure
and started to leave the hall. Before
half the states had been called a mo-
ton carried to hand the printed slips
containing the names to the secretary
and the convention adjourned for the

TAFT MEN IN CONTROL.
Resolutions Committee Considerinu
the Platform.

Chicago. June 1.-THE Taft forces
claim to have the advantage in the
struggle over the injunction plank of
the platform. They assert that the
appointment of a subcommittee of
thirteen to consider the various con-
troverted planks was a distinct sue
cess for them and pointed with much
satisfaction to the fact that Chair
man Hopkins had appointed on this
committee nine men who favored the
injunction plank and four who are op-
posed to it.
The Taft managers predict a favor
able result in the full committee and
in the convention, but admit their
fight will be desperate.
The opposition, still under the lead
ership of Speaker Cannon, who d.
reefs his forces from his quarters at
the Union League club, is claiming
thirty votes to twenty-five on the full
committee and expressing confidence
that when the platform goes to the
convention the Objectionable plank
will be missing.

NO UNUSUAL INCIDENT.
First Session Of Republican Corr

CHEER ROOSEVELT'S NAME
0peech Of Temporary Chairman Bur-

of the Opening Meeting.
CHEER ROOSEVELT'S NAME

Chicago, June 16.-The first session
of the Republican national convention
was devoid of any unusual incident
and was devoted largely to the ad-
dress of Temporary Chairman Bur-
rows, who occupied over an hour of
the two-hour session in making the
keynote speech of the campaign.
In calling the convention to order
Harry S. New, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, spoke
briefly and his mention of the name of
President Roosevelt was greeted with
an outburst of cheers.
Mr.. New introduced Bishop Muldoon
of Chicago, who recited with a clear,
resonant voice the Lords Prayer"
At the conclusion of the reading of
the call of the convention there was
some applause. Chairman New an

Right of Way and Terminals of North-
ern Pacific Road.

Right of Way and Terminals of North-ll
ern Pacific Road.
Some interesting figures in regard
to land values as represented by right
of way and terminals, exclusive Of i'm
provements, were given by Thomas
Cooper, land commissioner of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
when he was examined before Judge
Otis, special master, who is taking
testimony at st. Paul preparatory to
a final hearing on the merits in the
state rate cases.
Mr. Cooper places the total land
valuation at $10S,00o,000, nearly one
quarter Of which is in Minnesota.
Some idea of the value of the yearly
increase in the company's holdings
may be gained from Mr. Cooper's
statement that since he was appointed
commissioner in 1904 he has pur-
chased $685. 4235 worth of land for
the company between St. Paul and the
coast.
Mr. Cooper places the value of st.
Paul terminals at $9,907,SS9.34, while
Minneapolis terminals are valued at
$5,292,819.22. These figures are based
on the land values exclusive of i'm
provements. The area of the St. Paul
property is 751.68 acres, while the Min
neapolis area is 30987 acres.

Harris burg, Pa, June 13.-After be-
ing OUT twenty-five hours the jury in
the case of the five men charged
with conspiracy to defraud the state
by rendering a false bill for metallic

guilt or innocence of Congress sman H.
Burd Cassel and Joseph M. Huston,
the other two accused men. Cassel
is the head of the Pennsylvania Con-
struction company, which supplied the

BOOM GOVERNOR CUMMlNs
Iowa Man May Be Nominated for Vice
President.

Chicago, June 17.-The boom of
Governor Cummins of Iowa for the
vice presidential nomination is the
distinctive feature in the contest for
second place on the ticket and it has
received much favorable consideration.
Senator Borah of Idaho, who started
the agitation on behalf of the Iowa
governor, spent much time sounding
Western delegations in his behalf
and announced that he had found
much encouragement. The mention
of Governor Cummins' name was re-
ceived with varying emotions by the
members of the Iowa delegation, and
event the governors candidacy should
be more theoretically pressed, his
Iowa support would not be confined to
the so-called Cummins faction. Sew
eral Allison-Dolliver adherents prompt
ly announced that as matter of state
pride if for no other reason they
would support the governors candi-
dacy.
A number of Iowans associated po-
litically with Governor Cummins after
conference stated that while they
had not communicated with the gov
ernor on the subject, it had been de-
termined to assume the responsibility
of presenting the claim of Iowa for
second place in the event there de-
veloped continued purpose on the
part of the Taft managers in Wash
ington to insist upon an Iowa man.

WOMEN DRINKERS INCREASE
Archbishop Ireland Says Men Have
Improved.

Drinking among women is on the
increase, Archbishop Ireland declared
in his address before the annual con-
wention of the Total Abstinence union,
archdiocese of st. Paul, at the old cap
itol in st. Paul. During the early
times men were so bad that women
were kept busy trying to reform them.
Men have improved and women have
become worse and the women should
now devote their efforts to obtain total
abstinence among themselves.
Archbishop Ireland was introduced
as the father of total abstinence in
the Northwest In his address he gave
"reminiscences of the abstinence move
ment from 1859 to the present In
speaking of the efforts of the brewers
to make the retail saloon decent he
said: UNLESS the decent saloon
comes, and comes quickly, prohibition
will come" AS for the decent saloon,
he doubted if there were such, and
said that a st. Paul man who had
tried to run a decent saloon was COM
PEELED to close in two weeks.

MR.. EWERT'S PLATFORM
Position Upon Public Questions
Affecting the Interests Of
the People.
To the Republicans of the Second Con.
gressionaI District of Minnesota:

To the Republicans of the Second Con.
gressionaI District of Minnesota:
In response to what appears to be
| the desire of large number of Re-
publicans of the Second congressional
district that some person not identi-
! fed with the sharp primary contest
OF two years ago should become the
standard bearer of the party in the
| coming campaign, I announce myself
| candidate for the Republican noni-
| nation for congress in the Second con-
gressional district of Minnesota.
Before the primary election 1 shall
more fully advise the Republicans of
this district Of my position upon pub
lie questions affecting the interests of
the citizens of the district and the peo-
pie of the nation at large. My posi-
ton upon some of these questions,
stated briefly, is as follows:
For Immediate Revision of the Tariff
Downward.
Protection to American industries
and American labor is a cardinal prin-
ciple of the Republican party, and to
that principle heartily subscribe, but
In justice to the consumer there
should be no hesitancy in modifying
tariff schedules where it appears that
they are higher than is necessary to
fully protect American indus tries and
American labor. Because of changed
conditions and improved methods of
production, revisions must be made
periodically. Those revisions should
be made timely by the friends of the
tariff or they will surely be made by
its enemies. Two years ago the Re-
publican party of Minnesota in con-
vention assembled declared that the
time was ripe for revision, and the
Republicans of the Second congress
! sional district few months later en-
phasized that declaration at the polls.
am in favor of an immediate revision
of the tariff downward and to that end
favor an extra session of the next con-
Eress. Immediately upon the expiration
Of the present congress next March,
I believe that preparations for just
and intelligent revision should now be
made by the appointment of experts
to gather facts and information as to
| the cost of production of protected ar
ticles at home and abroad and report
the same to the next congress.
Remove Tariff on Soft Coal, Lumber,
Wood Pulp and Print Paper.
Independent of this speedy general
revision ! favor the immediate re-
moval of the tariff on lumber. Govern
ment experts declare that the entire
timber supply of the nation will be
! exhausted in from twenty to thirty
years. Our remaining forests are rap
idly being acquired by few individ-
uals who now determine the price Of
. lumber The removal Of the present
tarif is not only an act OF simple JUS
5tice to present users Of lumber but
/ IL removal il absolutely necessary

nations for their supply.
For these and other reasons wood
pulp and print paper should be placed
upon the free list at once.
Bituminous coal should now be
placed upon the free list. A large per
cent of all the soft coal used in the
Northwest is of two or three kinds,
and the mines which produce them are
owned by a like number of companies
who control the output and fix the
prices thereof as absolutely as do the
owners of the anthracite mines.
Limit Loans by Banks on Stock Ex-
change Collateral and Deny Mails
to Stock Gamblers.
believe that gambling in stocks in
Wall street more than any other sin
gle cause was responsible for the re-
cent panic. Fifty per cent of all the
money on deposit in New York banks
when the panic came was loaned on
stock exchange collateral. Spectators
had forced stocks in many instances
to double their real values; the inevi-
table fall in prices came; loans were
called by the banks and more stock
collateral demanded because of the
depreciation in it's value. A half bill
lion of dollars had been so loaned,
and sufficient money could not be OBJ
tanned to meet these obligations; a
panic was inevitable. The same thing
is likely to recur and l believe that
the use of the United States mails
should be denied to those so called
stock speculations which are purely
gambling transactions Banks under
government supervision should be linn
tied by law as to the amount that may
be loaned by them upon stock ex-
change collateral.
Power of the Commerce Commission
Should Be Enlarged.
I favor enlarged powers for the in
terstate commerce commission to the
end that the commission upon it's own
Initiative may pass upon the reason
ableness of an established rate for
the transportation of property in in
terstate commerce.
Rates Should Be Based Upon Value Of
Railroads, Not on Watered Stocks.
The reasonableness of rates for the
transportation of property in inter.
state commerce must in a large meas
ure be determined upon the basis of
physical valuation of the property nee
essarily used in such service, rather
Of or M
bonds and other Indebtedness out
standing. The ascertaining of such
valuations should at once be under
taken and prosecuted to speedy con-
clusion. Meantime the public should
be protected against over capitaliza-
ton and the watering of the stock of
such interstate carriers and other pub
lie service corporations.
In Favor of Inheritance Tax.
favor an inheritance tax. Such a
tax is both expedient and just. It is
expedient as revenue measure and
is just because every man upon his
death should return to the governm ent
portion of the property that organ
lied society and established govern
ment has enabled him to accumulate.
Government Should Retain Fee to
Coal, Oil and Gas Fields.
The government ought not to place
itself at the mercy Of the private own
ership Of Its coal, OIL and gas fields.
The fee to these lands now owned 81

favor restrictions in the use Of in
functions, the passage of an employ

iections of the supreme court to the
present law, and the compulsory in

I am in favor of the progressive pol.

A Square Deal for Both Capital and
Labor.
This is an era of tremendous prog
ress, new questions of great moment
to all the people are constaneay arls'
ing and old questions are rsappear1ng
in new form. The solution of them
should be approached in a sane and
just way. Ratings against capital will
accomplish nothing, but on the other
hand will work positive harm. Laws
should not be enacted which tend to
brighten capital honestly invested or
deprive the investor of fair return.
| Care should be taken that only such
laws as are just to both capital and
labor be enacted. But all laws should
be enforced. There should be no COM
promise with lawlessness or crime.
