TAFT WILL USE TACT.
No Dictation From Candidate as 10
National Committeeman.


Washington, June S.-There is no
candid oserver who will not admit
that there was a good deal of bungl-
ing in the management OF Secretary
Taft's campaign for the republican
presidential nomination, especially in
Its earlier stages.
Mistakes were made which proved
costly and which made much more
difficult the fight for the secretary's
nomination. But, despite mistakes,
the fight appears to have been won;
and now II is becoming manifest that
along with the bunglers there are
some brilliant politicians in the Taft
camp
one evidence of this is the an
nouncement that Secretary Taft,
should he be the nominee, will not at
tempt to dictate the men or methods
of campaign management. 1t is de-
clared he will leave this matter with
the national committee with which
under party law, the responsibility is
lodged.
While II resolves upon the commit
tee to select its chairman and the ac-
tive campaign managers, custom has
allowed the nominee for president to
dictate who the chairman shall be.
Thus, in 1896 and again in 1900 Nc
Kinley selected Mark Hanna for ma
tional chairman, though Hanna was
not even a member Of the national
committee.
But 1t is said Taft will indicate no
preference for the national chairman
ship, and undoubtedly this is good pol
itics. 1t will give all members of the
committee an equal voice in making
the selection, no matter whether they
have been for or against Taft's nomi-
nation, and 1t cannot be doubted this
will have a tendency to placate and
harmonize the opposition.
There is the further consideration
no campaign publicity bill having
passed congress, that there are going
to be unpleasant charges of "fat-fry-
ing" during the course of the cam
paign. If the candidate does not Sc
lect the campaign management, he
will personally escape a good deal of
the embarrassment of these charges.

Washington, June at has just
become known here that Roosevelt
was thrown from a young horse and
narrowly escaped death yesterday
afternoon in Rock Creek park, where
he was trying a spirited animal in
going over the water jump.
The president saved his life by
turning quickly to one side, as the
horse fell but sustained severe bruis-
es- and was badly crushed.
The president when the story came
out, said: 1T really didn't amount
to much and is hardly worth print
ing. l am not injured at all serious
ly.".
The horse became frightened as he
appS ched to jump, staggered and
fell Violently. Roosevelt realized the
danger and the old time western ex-
perie ce stood him in good part.
Hcs ~ ess. quickly in the saddle and
plunged into the water.
The orderly caught the horse and
the president remounted. He said
he was not hurt much and rode for
half an hour when he had another
narrow escape.
Crossing a stream the horse was
nervous, shied, and the president re-
leased his feet from the stirrups and
dropped off into the creek just as
the horse fell a second time.
Mrs. Roosevelt was with the presi-
dent and saw both accidents. She is
an expert horsewoman, and would
have aided her husband il she could
have reached him in time. Sergeant
the orderly was closer.

TWO SALOONS GIVE UP THE GHOsE

Two saloons, the Rainier beer hall
and the Pullman, have already gone
out of business in this city as a result
of the prohibition vote. When the sa-
loonmen appeared at the recorders
office yesterday to have their licenses
extended for a month longer. the pro-
prietors of the two places named
above did not appear.
All OF the saloon licenses expired
on May 81 and in order to continue
business until July it was necessary
for the liquor dealers to take out Ii
censes for the month Of June. They
were granted licenses for that time
for SIS each, that sum being the pro-

COUNTY SEAT SETTLED.
Attempts TO Change Present Location
Are Completely Frustrated.

Enterprise, Ore, June S.-The ques-
ton of the location of the county seat
in Wallowa county was decisively set
tied in Mondays election in favor of
its present location at Enterprise. J.
B. Olmstead was elected county judge
and w G. Locke was elected county
commissioner. Sam Litch the hold
over commissioner is a resident of
Enterprise who with the other two
gentlemen make a unanimous county
court in favor of building a county
court house. This will settle for all
time the efforts of first one town and
then another to take the county seat
away from Enterprise.

"Unfurl the flag, let the winds ca

Plans for the greatest and most en-
joyable Fourth of July celebration
that this city has ever seen are now
being worked out and if those behind
the movement meet with success there
will be nothing slow about Pendleton
on the national holiday this year even
if the town is dry.
Owing to the uncertainty produced
by the prohibition campaign that has
been on this spring, nothing towards
Fourth Of July celebration was done
prior to election. But it has been
planned for some time past to take
up the subject Immediately after elec-
ton and the work has now been start

ing 5000 per year.
Apparently all the remaining saloons
will continue in business during the
month of June for the purpose Of clos
ing out their stocks. OF those now in
business here some have declared their
intentions OF leaving the city, while
others say they will remain and en-
gage in other lines of work.
Under the local option law the couu-
ty court is required to issue a proc
lamation setting forth the result Of
the election and this win be done by
June IL, the date set by law for the
announcement.

have a man that will have sufficient
reputation to draw a crowd to this
city from every part of the county
