THE TALLY SHEET.
TAFT BELIEVED TO BE FAR BEYOND
THE DANGER LINE.
Revival of Third Term Talk-What Does
II Mean?-The Vice.Presidential Nom-
ination-WiH it Be Fairbanks Again3
Senator Knox.

The delegate columns of Republican
candidates for the Presidency are now
nearly complete, for the Conventions
of the past week have brought the en-
tire totals up to S46. This leaves but
134 delegates to be elected. The re-
naming Conventions will all be held
next week.
Unorficial figures at National Commit
tee Headquarters in this city now show
that Secretary Taft has 339 instructed
delegates. All the other candidates now
have 223 delegates. Senator Foraker,
of Ohio, now enters the list of candi-
dates for whom delegates have been
pledged, as the First Georgia Congress
sional District has just directed that its
two votes be for the Ohioan. The un-
instructed delegates, according to the
same authority, now number PA and
the contested seats number 20.
The features of the week were the
decisive verdicts of the Connecticut and
the Kentucky Conventions in instruct
ing delegates for the Secretary of War.
The action in the latter State was a
great blow to the candidacy of Vice
President Fairbanks. All told, Secretary
Taft won Sc instructed votes, including
six in Alabama, four in Arkansas, 1O
in Connecticut, IS in Kentucky, two in
Louisiana, two in Michigan, two in
Maine, two in Missouri, four in North
Carolina and six in Wyoming.
There is speculation as to how many
delegates will really make contests be-
fore the National Committee at Chi
cago. While 20 delegates from IL
States have indicated an intention to
contest, but a small portion of those
have actually complied with the con-
ditions for a contest, and have entered
formal notice with the National Com
mittee. The 20 possible contests are as
follows: Alabama, s; Arkansas, 2; Flor
ida, 10; Georgia, 4; Kentucky, 4; Lou
isiana, 4 Mississippi, 10; Missouri, 6;
Ohio, 4; Oklahoma, 2; Tennessee, IA,
and Arizona, 2. 1t will probably turn
out that but few of these contests will
be carried to Chicago, except where the
factions have much at stake in the mat
ter of party organization.

RECENT LITERATURE.

Peoples Magazine for June contains.
besides its 1872 pages of complete fic-
ton, go pages of clearly printed pic
lures, representing scenes from the cur
rent plays An especially interesting
feature of this number is the new series
of military stories by Wolcott LeClear
Beard, who, having been himself on the
firing line in three countries, has deep
knowledge and insight into this life,
which bristles on every page. An Illus
trated military poem, entitled Sailing
ORDERS" by Alfred Damon Runyon, will
prove of timely interest to readers.
Among other stories eminently worth
while are Prizes of War;" by Harold
Bindloss, and DO Unto Others" by
Edward S. Ellsworth, in which Bill

In general appearances as well as in
its literary and artistic contents, the
June number of Smiths iMagazine is
one of the best numbersi ever issued.
and certainly one of the most attractive
magazines on the stands. The i16 photo
graphs of actresses with which the mag
azine opens are printed with unusual
success on heavier and more. expensive
paper than is used in any of the popu-
lar monthlies. The complete novelet,
by w. B. NJ. Ferguson, is bound to at
tract attention. 1t is love story with
splendidly developed plot and cast

to be talked about a great deal. Polly

The efforts of the Taft managers are
now quite as much directed toward win
ming over these uninstructed delegates
as toward gaining control of the few
Conventions that are yet to be held.
Quite a portion of the forthcoming cleo
tions are in States like Texas and Cali
fornia, which will have large votes in
the National Convention. The primaries
in those States have been held during
the past week.
The big Roosevelt vote in Texas and
California primaries has started talk
here about something of list of in
structed delegates in the Convention.
The politicians are specializing whether
the delegates from those States and a
few others like those from Utah, may
not form nucleus for starting a big
Roosevelt boom at Chicago.
The Third-Term Boom.
Some queer features of latter-day
Presidential nomination rumors are
continually coming 10 light. One of
these rumors, recently revived, is the
fhird-term boom for President Roose-
welt Every time that boom has been
brought forward anew in the last six or
eight months discerning Washington has
been more or less at a loss TO determine
whether the movement proceeded from
the Presidents friends. presumed to be
also Secretary Taft's friends or from
Secretary Taft's enemies.
The latest revival of the third-term
boom, which began some 10 days ago,
according to local chronicles, came
about the time the allied Presidential
oooms seemed on the verge of collapse
or at best of inanition. Some reasoned
that that kind of talk in force, even al
. the eleventh hour, would weaken the

cn ihe cheaper processes Oh printing
lof the manufacture of its postage
stamps The stamps supplied 81
, Uncle Sam are printed hy the plate
J printing process. which is che most
costly as well as the most perfect OF
t alI processes Of taking a printed lm-
preston. Like an of our paper money
and the bonds and stocks certificates
admitted TO trading on the New York
stock exchange the postage stamps
are printed from steel engrawngs. An
/ engraved plate differs radically from
the printing surfaces used in tae or.
dinary typographical processes, in that
the lines which carry the ink are sunk
below the surface Of the plate and
the pigment which remains on the pa
per after It has been run through the
@inting press is taken, not from the
surface Of the plate. as is the case in
geographic printing, but from the
sunken lines. BY this process It is
possible to make much finer design
than 1t would be possible to print from
q topographic cur" as may be seen
by comparing under a reading glass
any postage stamp or piece Of paper
currency with the finest wood cut or
other example of topographic art.
The cost Of manufacturing postage
stamps is further increased by the
necessity of cumming the backs; but
the perfection Of the machinery which
carries out this process, together with
the small size Of the stamps, makes
the total cost inconsiderable when
compared with the selling price
The printed sheets OF stamps pass
into the cumming machines as soon
as they are dried and passed by the
examiners.
These machines are marvels Of in
genuity An even flow is spread on
the back Of the stamps with wonderful
accuracy by revolving drum whose
slightly rough surface carries the nee
essary amount Of adhesive fluid. AS
sheet after sheet passes face down I'M
der this roller it throws a parting
glimmer of its newly-gummed surface
in a mirror directly In front Of the
young woman operator. BY this means
she can tell whether or not the gum is
being applied.
After its farewell gleam the sheet Is
carried automatically through a dry
ing chest, where an even temperature
OF 1876 degrees is maintained. 1t Is
now dry and ready to be trimmed,
numbered and perforated
Finally, hydraulic presses remove
the burning left by the perforating ma
chimes, and the finished stamps, exam
