tanning Peace.

Toxic, Jan. 21.-Reports attributing
sinister designs to the Japanese naval
administration in connection with the
Pacific squadron are absolutely un-
founded. Vice Admiral Saito. minis
ter of the navy, in an interview with
the correspondent of the Associated
Press today, said:
I'VE have no secrets from America
concerning the distribution of our
fleet. Daily reports are handed the
naval attaches, showing the where
abouts of every vessel, which can
easily be ascertained.
In view of the sensational reports
emanating from various quarters, we
desire emphatically to say that no
vessel of the aJpanese fleet is any
nearer the Pacific coast of America
than Yokosuka. Every one of the bat.
tleships is now on the home station,
either at Yokosuka, Kure or Sasebo,
and the entire flotilla of torpedo boats
and submarines is at the same sta.
tions."

"Happyland."

The story of "Happyland," in which
De Wolf Hopper comes to the Spokane
theater Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
January 1928, is an amusing recital of
the love affairs of two young royal
personage3-the crown prince of For
tuna and the Princess of Elysia. Two,
monarchs make matrimonial promises
they never can fulfill One agrees to-
give his daughter in marriage and the
other his son. Mr. Hopper, as Ecstat-
icus, is one of these unfortunate royal
gentlemen, and it is he who promises
to provide prince for the hand of a
rival monarch's daugnter-this much
to avert war between the two coun-
tries. Ecstaticus hasn't any princely
son, but he has lovely princess
daughter, and she promptly falls in
love and elopes with the crown prince
OF still another country. The Incl
dents to this tangle are numerous and
each has it's bits of mirth and melody.

ON FIRST
BALLOT
MANAGERS OF TAFT'S
CAMPAIGN HAPPY.
SECRETARY EXPECTS NOMINA
TON ON FIRST BALLOT ON
PRESENT OUTLOOK.

Secretary Taft expects to be noml-
mated for president on the first ballot
in the republican national convention.
He expects to get at least SOP votes
out of $50. The number necessary to
nominate is 491.
For the first time since the Taft
campaign opened it's managers tonight
reduced their general predictions to
concrete form.
This is the way they line up the va
rious states and sections of the coun-
try:
States which have declared for Taft
through central committees: Califor-
mia, Kansas, Nebraska Missouri, Mich
igan, West Virginia and Ohio; total,
1870 votes.
States which are sure for Taft: The
entire south, with the possible excep-
ton of Kentucky and Oklahoma; total,
24O votes.
States which are reasonably sure for
Taft: Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana and Iowa; total, 70.
Territories sure for Taft, 12; grand
total, 500 votes.
In the Probable Glass.
To make up for possible deficiencies
among the states classed as reason
ably sure" the Taft folks expect to
draw from the following, classed as
"probable": New York, 80 votes out
of a possible IS; Massachusetts, 80;
Connecticut, IA; Idaho, 6; Oregon, 8,
and Washington, 10; total. 109.
| From this district would also come
enough votes to make up for possible
split delegations from Ohio and Iowa.
Classed as possible" are all the rest
of the states of the Union excepting
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois,
which the Taft folks graciously con-
cede to Knox, Fairbanks and Uncle
Joe" Cannon, respectively.
These figures are understood to
have been approved by Charles P.
Taft, the secretary's brother, who left
Saturday for Cincinnati, after a two
days visit in Washington.
Coincidental with his departure was
that of Senator Foraker, also for Ohio
but they did not take the same train
Taft Has Big Lead in Ohio.

republican committees in 70 counties
providing for the ELECTION, under the
full provisions of the call of the state
central committee, of TIC out of a
total of 815 delegates.
| In over nalf the counties, including
most of the large ones, and represent
ing over 600 delegates, Taft has been
formally Endorsed by county commit
tees. Taft tickets of delegates are in
the field everywhere. Lake county
where an Independent ticket is prom
