POLITICIANS SUGGEST
HUGHES FOR PRESIDENCY

BY Leased Wire TO The Tribune.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Quiet talk OF
Charles E. Hughes. associate justice OF
the supreme court, for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1912 has been
hoard among prominent Republican mem
bcrs Of both branches of congress TINS
week, The suggestion has been made
that in the event President TAFT does
not care TO stand for denomination, or
that his nomination would seem In
advisable from a standpoint OF party eX-
pediency, Justice Hughes would be alto
gether available and perhaps the strong
man who could be placed at the head Of
the national ticket
The argument is advanced that Mr.
Hughes will not have been on the bench
long enough to have been forgotten as
n politician, and that his strength before
the people has been demonstrated by his
election and reelection as governor OF
New York; also his ability as cam
psigner of exceptional power was shown
In the contest of 1905.
There is the further argument that Mr.,
Hughes is progressive enough TO suit that
wing OF the Republican party and not
too much so TO frighten off the conserv-
atives. And this argument counts for
much with the practical politicians among
the party leaders,
They realize that candidate that can
not command the support OF conservation
and independent vote OF the country
stands little chance OF winning the next
presidential race.

Mrs. Julia Ann Demaray and her sis

they have the added honor of being

their distinction. 1t was only acci-

ago that their father was a revolu-
tionary soldier, and that they were
the only twin daughters of the revo-

Mrs Russell dropped a word that led
to their Identification. and in few
days their fame spread throughout the
country.

over the United States congratulating
the aged women, and they have been
swamped with communications and

new OFFICIALS
PREPARE BONDS

The newly elected officials of Esme:-
aida county and Goldfeld township are
busily engaged in the matter of secur-
ing bonds, which are necessary to en-
able them to qualify for their respect
i've offices. Altogether the new off
Gals, if the same bonds shall be exact
ed of them as have been from their
predecessors in office, will be obliged to
have s~ureties who can qualify in the
sum of half a million dollars.
The highest bond required is that of
the county clerk and treasurer, Joseph
Hamilton, who now furnishes a bond
of $4,000. His bondsmen will be
obliged to qualify in the sum of $780,,
600. Sheriff-elect Ingalls, bond, if the
present schedule is adhered to, will be
$50 900. County Recorder Bell will be
obliged to furnish security to the coun-
ty in the sun of $25, 1000. District At
torney Walsh will give a bond of $780,
900. The present district attorney,
Augustus Tilden, is under bond Of $751;
900, but that action was taken by the
former board of commissioners, who
had a personal grievance against him
and attempted to force him out of of
fee by the imposition of such a heavy
bond. Mr.. TiIden, however, had NO
difficulty in securing the necessary sure
ties.
The constable and justice of the
pesce of Goldield township are now
to furnish bonds in the sum
Of $4,000 and $4,000 respectively.
1t is rumored that the new board of
commissioners may reduce the
bonds of the county officials, as they
ire considerably higher than those fur
nished by county officials Throughout

SOUTHERN TACTIC
TO SHORTEN ROUTE

Information conrs from a creditable
source that the Southern Pacific com
pany is planning to shorten it's main
line across Nevada by at least fifty
miles, say the Reno Gazette. This will
be done by building a cutoff near Bat
tie Mountain to a point near Hazen.
The line at present between these
points, which cuts from the lower
Truckee to the Humboldt and follows
the windings of hat sinuous river, is
in the shape of a hump, running up
ward to within 90 miles of the Oregon
line.
If the proposed cutoff is built, it viii
leave the towns of Lovelock, Winnie
mueca, Golconda, Stone House, Mill
City, Inlay and others far from the
main line.
The new route will follow down Dixie
valley, across through the Silver or |
X l. range by tunnel and come out IN
the Carson Sink not far from Still
water.
1t is estimated that the new line will
be only about 100 miles in length,
while its length at present is $50 miles.
The estimated cost of the proposed
cutoff is $1,000 600, but this is three
and one-half million dollars less than
the company spent to build its cutoff
across the great Salt Lake.
