entirely willing to turn the campaign over
to my management selected as to the ques-
ton OF general policy" said william II.
Taft, the presidential candidate Of the re-
publican party today when questioned con-
corning the conduct Of the coming cam
paign.
That the campaign is to be conducted
chiefly in the west is conceded by political
leaders who have been here since the demo-
cratic campaign has concluded its work.
Elmer Dover, secretary Of the republican
national committee. arrived today and had
a talk with Mr.. Taft lasting three hours.
The campaign will be Fought in the west"
said Mr.. Dover. The selection OF the vice
presidential candidate from the west ard
several of the pIanks Of the platform
plainly indicate to me that the democrats
do not intend to make any general effort
for electoral votes in the east, but will
concentrate their efforts In the west. OF
course they will contest some Of the east
ern states, but If they had intended to
make a serious fight in the east they
would have selected a New York man."
Sheldon Begins Work.
George r. Sheldon of New York, treas
urer of the national committee does not in
tend to permit any delay in beginning his
work of raising money for the campaign.
"Slnce l have been here" he said today,
IL have received a dozen checks from men
who wished to be the first to subscribe to
the campaign fund"
Mr.. Sheldon declared that he will begin
the work Of raising money in a systematic
anime in New York next Monday. He
left here this evening after having played

Headquarters in New York.
WASHINGTON, July l.-Chairman
Frank II. Hitchcock Of the republican ma
tional arrived here today from
Hot Springs, where he has been In confer
ence with Judge Taft. Thus far he has
made no definite plans for his sojourn in
Washington, which will be comparatively
brief.
He will close the Taft headquarters here
perhaps in a few days and probably open
permanent headquarters Of the national
committee in New York City. Arrange
ments are now being made for the head
quarters in New York.
Mr.. Hitchcock will leave Washington
early next week, probably on Monday, for
new YORK CITY TO make arrangements for
the location in that city of the republican
national headquarters. He has not decided
yet where the headquarters will be located
and probably will not until he has looked
over the situation personally.
After he has decided the matter Of head
quarters Mr.. Hitchcock will go to Utica, N.
Y, to visit the republican vice presidential
candidate, Representative James S. Sher-
man. 1t is scarcely likely that he will re-
turn to Washington until the last Of next
week or the first of the following week.
Chairman Hitchcock this far has reached
no decision regarding the personnel of the
republican national executive committee.

What Homer Wade Has to Say Governor Camlbl Of Texas
With Reference to Reduction Of Passenger Rates

80. Now by the way of recapitulation,
the problem yields the results that the
net earnings OF the fourteen Texas rail
roads in 1906 was 1856. 1876 30, while
the net deficit for the same companies
for 1907 was 81, ,624, $500. And con
slider that requirement in connection
with the recent tatement of Commits
sioner Storey that an outlay o. $1,000
per mile Is necessary to put that com
pany's physical property in condition
tO meet the demand of its growing
traffic. This road has 1000 miles of
track in Texas, Do you think, Cover
nor, that this road should be required
to reduce its rate in the face of expert
opinion That 5000, 900 must be eXpen-
ded before it can perform the service
right to demand of it? DO you think
the commission is pursuing Il policy
Just to the railroads or the people in
ordering reduction Of passenger rates
to 2i5 cents per mile in the ia 'e OF
these figure; in the face f legislatures
refusal to cut this rate, and in the face
of the wholesome demand of the en-
tire State for better aud more trans
portation facilities? Iudeed is it tn,
Selfish and graspng interests" or the
politicians who beat the air with their
familiar lamentations that the nasse
of the people have the most to fear?

shedding Wool.

There are many things which may
cause sheep to shed their wool in win
ter or spring without their being afflict-
ed by scab. If they have short pas
turage in the fall and come To the barn
thin in flesh, and are then fed well
they are apt to begin to shed wool in
winter, while if winter forage is poor
or scanty and spring plsturage good.
shedding is likely TO begin before shear
ing time. Keep them in a good, thrifty
condition ut all Sc: sons, even If it is
necessary to feed grain to do 81. An
other cause may be overcrowding In
the shed, keeping them too warm ~
night. Allow at least ten square feet
of Shed room TO each sheep of small
breeds, and from twelve TO fifteen for
the larger breeds. Even more frequent
ly the cause may be the manure under
them fermenting and heating AS 1t il;
liable TO do if it is allowed to get wet.
1t would be well TO clean out the she'd
late in the fall, again at midwinic-.
and early in the spring, and between
these times keep plenty OF clean. dry,
bedding under them. This viii increase
the value of the manure even more
than it does the bulk as the liquid ma
nure is rich and needs an absorbent

Sick Fowls.

Colds among chickens result from
many causes. usually exposure during
damp weather, and may be indicated In
different ways, such as by coughing
or sneezing, by swelled faces, watery
eyes and nostrils, and sometimes as
canker in the mouth, In which case
there may be roup. A simple cold can
be easily managed and cured in a few
days by keeping the fowls warm and
dry. Castor oil, in small doses Of one
teaspoonful, is particularly good when
poured down the throat. In cases Of
cankers. which is the worst form Of
cold or roup, more care is necessary.
The sick fowls must be Immediately re-
moved from the healthy ones, and pure
