strated to Roosevelt His
Title to Leadership
CONGRATULATORY MESSAGES
RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT
Forces Jubilant Over
Victory Which They Believe Taft
Won from Roosevelt at Conference
Yesterday-One Senator Says 1t Is
Times-President Is Smiling Again.

Aboard Taft's Train, Columbus.
Ohio, Sept 19.-That President Taft
is the real leader of the republican
party and that he is planning to hold
the leadership despite Roosevelt and
that in fact open opposition to
Roosevelt may develop on the part
of the administration later is the be-
lief of politicians of the country as
shown by the message received from
every state by Taft today. However,
the president merely smiles. The
messages all congratulate Taft on his
stand yesterday at the Roosevelt con-
ference and imply that he refused to
acquiesce to Roosevelt's requests.
Taft will not talk regarding yester-
days interview One United States
senator wired, "The most important
political victory of recent times is
yours"
The fact that Roosevelt sought the
interview is pointed out as an indica-
ton that the former president real

Last of Venezuela Cases,

The Hague. Sept. 20.-Before a tri-
bunal composed of three members of
The Hague permanent court of arbi-
tration, hearing was commenced to-
day on the last OF the cases in dis
pute between the United States and
Venezuela. The case relates to the
claims Of the Orinoco Steamship
cocmpany and is the last Of the five
claims filed by the United States
against the South American republic,
which several years ago caused a rup-
ture of the diplomatic relations of the
two nations.
The four other cases have been set.
tied by direct arbitration. In the
present case, the argument filed BY
the United States government in an
swer to the allegations of Venezuela
alleges that the Venezuela case seeks
to raise technical objections rather
than to deal with the matter on its
merits, as required by the protocol.

ANTI-LA TOILETTE FORCE
TO FIGHT LAST BATTLE

Madison, Wis, Sept 20.-Fighting
in the last ditch, the anti-La Toilette
forces will make final attempt to
overthrow the supremacy Of the pro-
gressives in today's republican state
convention. Although Senator La
Toilette received the unqualified in
dorsement of the voters in the recent
primary, his opponents are not yet
reconciled to the situation and will
doubtless strive to start something
in the convention today. 1t is alleged
that the conservatives will seek to in
sert planks in the platform which La
Toilette will repudiate, thus giving
conservative republicans in the legis-
iature a reason for refusing to vote
for La Toilette.

being ratified under the initiative and
referendum, and made a law of our
state by a majority OF over 10000 two

Seeing that there is considerable

settle all doubts as to my position on
this question, IT further state to the
people Of Oregon as we'll as to the
people Of my legislative district. that

more would be done toward an en-
forcement of the law until the cases
now pending before the supreme court
are disposed of, though the district
attorney issued a warning several
weeks ago.

been Indicted on more than one
