TIM WOODRUFF IS
 OPPOSED BY TAFT

New York. March s.-(speeial. .)--United States Senator Root, whose leadership or the state of New York was openly de- fed by the old time republican ring under Chairman Woodruff under the republican state committee. arrived here from Wash ington this evening bearing an ultimatnm to Mir Woodruff from President Taft.
 New York is now the battle-ground. Woodruff is fighting for his political life. opposed by President Taft. Vice Pres ident sherman. Governor Hughes and Senator Root. The party is so badly split that the situation has become critical.
 Senator Roots mission here, as will be indicated tomorrow in conferences with the leaders. is to eliminate Mir. Woodruff. or elevate George Cobb to the presidency of the senate over Harvey H. Hinman, after Senator Root had sent telegram from Washington urging the election of Hinman. Senator Root. when he meets Woodruff tomorrow. will ask him to re- sign his office. But he will intimate in the sauve manner, for which he is famous, that he will be taken care of President Taft is ready to shunt MT. Woodruff into diplomatic post and thus New York state politics will be rid of a frebrand who has stirred up almost as much trouble and agitation for the re- publcans as the democratic party.
 Senator Root has the confidence of President Taft and MT. Taft is willing to be guided to certain extent by the senator. Senator Root is the leader in the political sense of the term, while Governor Hughes is looked to when it comes to getting votes from the masses The administrators steam roller, once worked so effectively by Frank H. Hitch cock will be used in New York state. Republican leaders think that the grand old party has sufficient burdens with the Allds-Conger scandal and internecine strife without forcing a new burden in the Woodruff Root warfare.
 The fight is now in the state commit- tee with Boss William Barnes leading the Albany forces and Chairman Wood ruff active in the lower end of the state. Both Barnes and Woodruff were the last Of the Platt henchmen and it was Wood ruff who used to be delegated by Platt to fight outside interference" Now Mr. Woodruff has some outside interference of his own to contend with. W
 Events no less momentous than those in the old days when Senators Roscoe Conkling and Thomas c. Platt threw down the gage to federal interference are in store for the republicans.

New Hampshire is a state that has

state as being East Of Spokane"
But New Hampshire is awakening
from her sleep and is coming to the
front with bells" It is all on ac-

Marillia Kicker and she wants to run

The spring rush of colonist to the
northwest which is already underway
shows again that the people of the
country are land hungry" Those
who are now coming westward to set
tie in Oregon, Washington and Ida
no, are moved by world old de-
sire-the wish to obtain a foothold
and establish homes of their own. A
man of energy and ambition does not
want to be a nonenity. He does not
like to be a mere cog in the great
wheel of metropolitan activity. He
wants to come west, secure some land
and establish an identity of his own.
For those who are now rolling west
ward this section has a warm well
come. We know the class of men
that are coming and the spirit that
has prompted them to come. It is the
game spirit that made our fathers and
our grandfathers cross the plains in
the early days to seek new homes in
the land of the setting sun"
At this time most Of the newcomers
are seeking irrigated land. The open
ing up Of the great irrigation tracts
Of the west has provided homes for
thousands who have heretofore been
without them. Of course there are
hardships connected with the settle
ment and the cultivation of the water
ed desert. There were many hard
ships connected with the early settle
ment of the west. But those who
braved the dangers and did the work
that was before them were we'll re-
warded. The same will be true with
respects to those who are now coming
to people the land that has been re-
claimed.
