Republican national convention from
a Northern State that has no candi-

Aside from his native Ohio, Taft
is strongest in Missouri, another Dor

supported by the SHOW Me" State

LONG PRAIRIE, MINI. March 10
Secretary Taft is the overwhelming
choice for President OF Minnesota
Republicans. This was startlingly
demonstrated in straw vote taken
by the Long Prairie Leader, the Re-
publican party of the banner Repub-
lIcan county of central Minnesota.
Expressions were secured from 1872
representative Republicans. Secre.
tary Taft was the first and second
choice OF every single one. He was
the first choice of 2O2. President
Roosevelt was the first choice of 10.
and Governor Hughes OF 20. On
second choice all the Roosevelt and
Hughes votes went to Taft. Not
considering Roosevelt, for he is not
a candidate, and giving his strength

With the exception of two dele
gates from Alabama and four from

instructions are all for Taft. The

The faction to meet in May is the
one officially recognized in the State
and which dominates the Republican
candidates placed on the ballot.
The table of actual delegate Sc.

cate that there will be more than
the usual number of contests from
the Southern States. The seats OF
all of the Alabama and Florida del

record stands to-day twelve southern
seats are disputed and ten are not

"There is some where a common

There Is Money For the. Work.

The Wllkes-Barre "Record, "
one of the leading newspapers in
the interior OF the State, is of the
opinion that the proposal to ex-
pend 100000 on road across
the State Will meet opposition be.
cause it "would mean a decided
decrease in the work of road I'm :
provement for the rest of the
State"
We do not view it In that way;
nor is that the general opinion.
There appears to be no good rea-
son why the amount proposed for
the across-the-State highway
could not be used for that pur-
pose without interfering IN the
least with the money likely IN any
event to be appropriated toward
continuing the work OF township
road improvement. The increas-
ed appropriations by the State in
many directions In the past few
years have not materially lessen
ed the surplus IN the State Treas
urY.
The 100000 for the proposed
highway could have been taken
out of that surplus any time with
in the last half dozen years with
out impalring the ability of the
Commonwealth to do anything it
has done within that tlme. 1t is
not expected that the whole
amount of $6,000,000 will be ex-
pended IN single year, and
spread over several years, as 1T
unquestlonably would be, it would
hardly be felt by the State at all.
If it should reduce the surplus
somewhat, no harm would be
done, as there is no necessity for
the State to carry such surplus
as it has had.
We believe our intelligent
Wilkes-Barre contemporary will
find these facts justify Governor
Stuart's proposition, and that the
construction of a great highway
across the State will promote a
better and more comprehensive
system of road improvement ev-
erywhere in the Commonwealth.

BLACK PAPER PROPOSED.
Wisconsin Manufacturers Say II Will
Save Forests and Cheaper Product.

liza proposition put rorth by
Wisconsin print paper manufac-
turers and by the publishers OF
the country as 1t is In Wisconsin,
Americans in the near future
will be reading black newspapers
painted with white INK.
The chief points advanced for
this revolutionary proposition
are the preservation of forests,
the saving of millions of dollars
annually IN pulp wood and the
reduction In prices of print paper
to perhaps one half the present
price.
Black paper can be made of
old and used newspapers and, In
fact, almost any tibrous stock,
while white paper requires
spruce or hemlock. The propos.
itlon will be brought to the atten-
ton of eastern print manufac-
turers and the publishers at the
close of the congressional investi.
cation in Washington.

Already six conductors, three

cause they were found to have
taken a drink while on duty.

which was issued a year ago, for
bids all employees of the road
from drinking either on or off
