toward an asset currency, as ne has
done in the past. He talked with
members of Congress about the Aidrich

his currency views for publication when
requested TO do so, but about the cor
ridors it was said Mr.. Shaw pronounced

La Toilette Boom

News from Minnesota doesn't tend 10
increase the confidence of the Taft

State, and that ius perfected organiza-

surrounded before anybody else really
gets busy.
Minnesota being next door 10 Wis
consin. the struggles of la Toilette
with the corporations and the interests
of Wisconsin have been watched with
keen interest for decade in Minnesota.
The ticket OF La Toilette candidates
for delegates at large has been boldly
put out. and it is declared that a county
organization is doing regular work in
almost every county in the State,
Minnesota appears in all the Taft lists
as a sure state But il is conceded by
TIE Taft people in the Northwest that
they haven't done much work; likewise.
the activity and effectiveness of the Id

ON BLUE BOOK
Second Volume Out Giving
List of Employees of
PoStofflce.

The second volume OF the Official
Register. or Blue Book, embracing the
employees in the postal service. has just
come from the presses Of the Govern
ment Printing Office. The first volums
containing the employees in the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial arms OF the
Government, was completed some four
or hye weeks ago.
The Bureau Of tpe Census, which had
charge OF the compiling and editing Of
the Blue Book this year for the first
time. made a notable record in the com
piIation, which not only saved many
months in time over previous issues but
greatly condensed the contents at a
great saving Of money
The two volumes or the 1896 issue Of
the Blue Book contained 4,Z19 pages,
whereas the TWO volumes Of the 1907
Blue Book, containing the same infor-
uiaticn, make an aggregate Of 1904
pages.
The Blue Book at the last issue, two
years ago, cost for the printing alone
81, 900. This year the printing charge
will not be more than 81, 900, a saving OF
approximately $4,000, or more, as the
average rate Of increase under the old
system would have made the publication
cost this year in the neighborhocd OF
SIS, 900.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made TO keep
the directory part Of the two volumes
standing in type at the Government
Printing Office, 50 that two years hence
II will only be necessary 70 make suen
changes as occur in the service IN the
space OF two years, instead Of resettlng

pected to make an additional saving II

Votes.
His Friends Say Enemies
Credit Him With the
Greatest Strength.

Callers at the White House have been
quoted as giving out the Presidents
view Of the Presidential situation In a
statement that Secretary Taft is now
assured of co delegates on first ballot
IN the Republican convention. As only
$50 are necessary to nominate, this
would indicate. If conceded, that
the fight is over. The mnthenla-
tielans of the field have been working
on some statistics OF their own, and
the combined strength OF the other can
didates is fixed at $50 to 706 votes, which
Is designed to counter the Taft claim.
Giving Secretary Taft all the rest
he would have from 100 TO 20 on first
ballot. lie would lead, but not rs de-.
cided prepcnderance.
Anti Taft Authority.
This calculation represented an anti
Taft authority, and Is discounted by the
majority OF impartial statisiicians. But
the fact remains that not very many
people have thus FAR assumed that Taft
is in sight OF a frst-balloJ nomination.
and that one OF the best authorities
on Taft strength recently expressed the
opinion that the Secretary would be
nominated on the third ballot The dis
position OF the opposition 70 make com
mon cause against the Secretary has
lately been much more marked, and Is
regarded as highly significant.
