TAFTS FRIENDS REJOICE
Think Columbus Victory assures
Solid Delegation from Ohio.
lFrorn The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, Jan. 2.-The friends Of Secretary
from Columbus where the Taft forces carried
the day in the meeting of the Ohio Republican
State Committee by vote Of Il to Z. This
means that the Republican voters of Ohio will
have an opportunity to express by ballot their
choice between a delegation for Taft, delega-
tion for Foraker and uninstructed delegation
Mr.. Taft's friends are confident that this makes
1t clear sailing for the Secretary in Ohio and
that he will have the solid delegation of the
state. In support of this contention they say
that Senator -Forakers friends, despite the Sem
ators announcement that he favored the seec
ton of delegates by primaries, have been work.
ing hard to prevent that method Of choosing
them, and up to the eleventh hour they pre-
dicte6 that, in the larger cities at least. the
delegates would be selected by local commit
tees or by wards, whereas the Taft programme.
adopted to-day provides that every Republican
voter shall have an opportunity to express his
choice in primary.
The selection of March for the convention
and February II for the primaries is satisfactory
insisted that the primaries should not be held
month.
Mr.. Taft's friends have maintained all along
that such strength as Senator Foraker might
have confined to his influence with certain
local organizations, and that if they could OBJ
tain free and fair expression Of opinion by the
voters there would be no question regarding a
solid delegation for the Secretary they are
confident that they have won the state.

It was only by the narrowest chance that
the wreck escaped being most disastrous one,
as an eastbound express grazed the cars Just
as they were lurching toward the east

Physicians attended the injured at tho

Irish Politicians Retain Their 0ld-Time Strenuous Characteristics

i told to get behind the wealthy vendors. and not to intrude their grievances. lest there may be days delay in pay ing out the millions to the mortgagors in a hurry. The Irish party insisted
 that the amendment of the Land Act
 shall be dealt with as whole. They have put forward their plan for the
 provision of the money. No other plan has seen the light that at once relieves the rate payers of Ireland of their in- tolerabIe liability. and at the same tiuae
 avoids imposing the whole loss upon
 the shoulders of the tenant purchasers.
 Lord Kenmare's proposal is simply one to enable the landlord 10 escape as
 soon as may be. and leave the purchas-
 CTS to settle the matter with the treas
 ury. No such method will be accepted
 by the Irish party. The report of the
 Irish party on the financial question
 faces the difficulty and offers a solu- ton. But the party. with the general ap- proval of the country, refuse to regard the question as one of money merely. They demand that the act should be amended on the lines of the hill which was introduced by the party last year accepted by the Governments on second reading, and passed by the House of Commons and they insist that the re-. port of the Dudley Commission. which has been denounced by the Landiords Convention, shall not be flung upon l the shelf to rot with so many other excellent reports of Irish Royal Com
 missioners, but shall be carried Into legislation.

In order to avert what was the ever present danger of strikes In the Italian public services. where the bulk of the officials are very poorly paid. this form of protest has been made criminal by legislation. and the standardization of the Italian railways has brought their employees under that law.

The Archbishop, of Dublin, in hts ad- dress to the members of the Dublin Diocesan synod this week said that the most notable public event in the past year as affecting this country had been the passing of the bill for the establishment of two new universities in Ireland. What the ultimate result of the adoption of this mcclure might be 1t Was impossible at present to say. They hoped that it might prove to be for the advantage and progress of their country; they hoped that their countrymen. now that they were, given larger opportunities of obtainingFa lib- eral education, might turn them to the best account, and with requirement of wider knowledge and a fuller intel lectual training which a university provides, might turn their talents and energy to matters which would make for a sound. healthy public pNlicys and thus promote the true welfare and ad- vancement of, their land. It was to be hoped that this measure would end the controversy so q, long foremost among the many, controversies that had occupied. the attention of their llow-countrymen, and he hoped fur ther that, now that this question was out of the way, and that the position of Trinity College remained undis- turbed, there would be no further de- lay m taxing lne stepS ISQuAISu 10 place the Trinity College Divinity School on satisfactory basis.
 The Irish Party, at meeting in this city. reaflrmed the policy of the party and the National Directory upon Land Purchase. Many attempts have been made to obscure that policy, but they have failed. It has been deserted that it is the plan of the party ito obstruct Land Purchase, ito maintain the hnan- eial block. and to assist the treasury In getting rid of their obligations. These Interpretations have been put forward by those whose aim anu desire Tn connection with the amend ment of the Land Purchase Act 1t is to get the money for the landlords without per ng any improvement in macnlner reform that would bring the eongested districts. PerhS .e most shocking revelation in the course of the controversy has been the readiness displayed to aban- don the congested districts to their fate. When the bonus was being sought the sores of these unfortunate people were put forward to excite the sympathy and prompt the generosity of the House of Commons. Now they are
