A Late Roosevelt Boom.

At this late date in the convention year, with the
nomination of Secretary Taft to the presidency as
good as conceded, an extraordinary final effort is
being made to turn the convention to President
Roosevelt and nominate him in spite of his opposition
to himself
The movement possesses more vigor in the south
than in the north Georgia leading with petition to
the convention that will bear, possibly, a hundred
thousand names West Virgnia's elected delegates
to the Chicago convention are willing to ignore their
instructions to vote for Taft and turn to Roosevelt
Washington influence tends strongly in the same di-
rection
The southern states of Virginia. Mississippi, Louis
ana South Carolina and Florida will send to Chi
cago ia contesting delegates who expect succeed in
securing seats in the convention and they will all be
opposed to Taft unless they be satisfied
Organized labor and the colored voters in northern
state are distrustfu of Taft and the element that
suffers from the stringency of the times is too
easy to be relied upon. Conditions render Mr.. Taft
an uncertain candidate while it is the confirmed be-
lief that the personality of Roosevelt would carry
him through.
Such the symptoms of breaking away from
the presidents man and rally around the president
himself something not likely to actually happen, be-
cause the forcefulness of the president will hold
the rebellious elements to the requirement he
has put upon them. Clearly enough, Mr. Roose-

Why 1t Passed.

About week before the adoption by the senate OF
the conference report by which the Aldrch and Vree-
land currency bills merged, Mr. Aldrich IN re-
porting from his committee the joint resolution au-
thorzing the creation of a monetary commission,
said the conferees had been unable to agree on a
currency measure.
This was his excuse for the creation of COM
mission of nine senator's and nine representatives to
ascertain what changes were necessary III the cur
rency and banking laws-hat there was to be no leg
is1ation and some sort of sop must be thrown to
the people to divert their attention until after election
Following this conclusion by the general manager

welt could have have the nomination if he
would take it. But he has been a year or
in the field the special champion of his
tary of war; rendering him almost certainty when
he would not be probability without administration
backing, The president will be compelled by every
consideration of honor to carry out program that is
peculiarly his own, although it does not appear
that Mr.. Taft will be strong enough after his
nation to win in the race for the white house.
An apprehension that he is fatally weak is probably
behind the new uprising in behalf of Mr. Roosevelt

especially friendly to him. but who would consider the

Congressman Burton, of Ohio, has been selected, so
political gossip says, to present the name of Secretary
Taft to the Chicago convention Mr. Burton has not
been conspicuous since the unpeasantness of last
year in his municipality.
Harper's Weekly is still doing what it can per-
suade the democratic party of the suicidal import of
Bryan victory at Denver, but it is merely demon
sratng how uninfuential an influential newspaper
can become when it goes wrong.

The republican party as a national organization
is making great progress in its presidential nomina-

Announcement was made on the 1st of June of the
death of James K. Jones, former United States

1t is said that Senator Burrows has been selected
for temporary chairman of the national republican
convention and that President Roosevelt is greatly
displeased thereat He rates Mr.. Burrows as an
administration man. position that certainly
occupied by him throughout the Smoot investiga-
ton. Possibly the president would be delighted to
have the Utah senator substituted for Mr., Burrows.

Utah's Mormon governor is quite stuffy with pride
since he reached home from the governors gather

Dakota farmer will be forced to again
start to grow cattle and sheep. to branch
out more extensively in raising hogs. In.
making another start at this necessary
part of farm work, the greatest care
should be taken to get good breeds of
animals. One we'll bred cow, developed
for milking and butter purposes, is a.
more profitable animal than two Of: three
Of the scrub breed, each of which
costs as much to keep as the we'll bred
animal. The prospects are now that a
light yield of grain will be had in many
localities, and farmers who have no live
stock to turn off will greatly regret that
they have not kept at least part Of, their
herds for a reliable source of income.
