Wyoming With the Administration
Senator Warren. who has just come
back from a trip to Wyoming, and who
called on President Taft today, said there
is comparatively little of the so-called
nsurgent sentiment in his state. The
people of Wyoming, he said. ARE pros
porous, and are fully satisfied with the
Payne tariff law, with President Taft
and with his administration. The Payne
law is stopping the annual deficit of the
Treasury, ana more goods are coming
into The country free than ever before
known.
Senator Warren said that .'insurgent-
ism. as applied to politics generally.
represented SO much restlessness and
energy, and would run its course.
Champ Clark, democratic leader of the
House, made visit TO the President
today. He said it was purely personal.

The recent fight against Col. William +.
Stone. collector of customs at Baltimore.
brought ont erroneous statement that
President Taft and Postmaster General
Hitchcock both stood by the Maryla nd
leader IN the face of his alleged opposition
10 President Taft al Chicago two years
ago The facts are well known iii
Maryland that Collector Stone was an
original Taft man. and that, in conjunc-
ton with Representative Pearre, he put
through the state convention. against a
powerful combination, instructions for the
Ohio candidate. 1t was the first time in
the history of Maryland state republican
conventions that resolutions of inStruc-

Senator Curtis told President Taft to-
CATION wishes TO recommend soma one for
associate Justice of the Supreme Court in
the late Justice Brewers place. Justice
Brewer was from Kansas and the eighth
circuit, over which he presided, will fur
nish the bulk of the candidates for the

selection for some time to come. Two
Kansas men are discussed. They are
Judge William {. Hook of the eighth cir

KANSAS district court.
There are four circuit judges of the
eighth circuit and each one will have
strong backing for promotion to the SUI
preme Court bench. They are Judges
