Il am unable to find any justification
for these statements in the actual con-

Theodore H. Price said: Il cannot see
the slightest relation between the tariff
and the big cotton speculation that has

PORTLAND, Me-, July 2I.-Presideht
Taft Yesterday put himself on record as
subscribing absolutely to the principle
that a President of the United states
should not talk politics. He landed at
Rockland in the morning to make the
last speech of his ten days cruise. Maine
is seething with politics just now. The
elections are to be held September l..
Rockland is the home of former Gov.
William T. Cobb, who is candidate FOR
the United States Senate to succeed Sena-
tor Hale, and is particularly interested
in the campaign Mr.. Taft spoke to a
large crowd from an automobile, In which
he had taken ride about the city and

Appreciation of Welcome.
He told of his. appreciation of the wei
come which had been accorded to ms

nolitical utterance than at any other time
during the trip. The harbor at Rockland,
the big granite breakwater and the ships
behind it had brought ship subsidy to
the Presidents mind.

importance of our coastwise shipping.

In view of the speaking trip which the

PACKING CONVENTION
Only Delegates and Reporters
to Be Admitted to Gathering
of Independents.

PHILADELPHIA, July p. = Political
affairs in Pennsylvania began to liven up
today when delegates began to assemble
here for the Independent state convention
which will be held in Withersooon Hall
tomorrow The movement to place a
third ticket in the field was started by
republicans and democrats of reform
tendencies who are dissatisfied with the
nomina tons made by the republican and
democratic state conventions in June.
The republican ticket is headed by Rep
resentative John Il Tener of Charleroi,
candidate for governor, and the demo-
cratic gubernatorial nominee is State Sem
ator Webster Grim OF Doylestown. Be
sides these the two old parties named
candidates for lieutenant governor. state
treasurer and secretary of internal al
fairs
Rise of the Independents.
The opposition of the candidates of the
two old political organizations began
after the democratic state convention.
Cyrus Larue Munson Of Williamsport,
giving personal reasons as the cause, SUD
denly withdrew the night before the con-
vention met, when he had the guberna-
toral nomination in his grasp. and the
convention selected senator 0.iI
Some of the democrats who we're faVor-
able to the nomination Of former State
Treasurer William Berry Of Chester, who
exposed the state capito! frauds, were
displeased with the Grim nomination and
after the republican convention joined
dissatisfied republicans and started an
independent party movement. Many or
those identified with the movement were
leaders in reform campaigns in Phliadei-
phia and the state in the last few years.
Convention to Be Select.
The executive committee OF the lnde-
pendents will meet late this afternoon to
arrange a program for tomorrow's con-
vention, and, it is expected, a list of the
delegates will be given out. Each county
in the state is entitled to the same num-
Der of delegates in the convention as it
has members in the state house of rep
resentatives. Outside the delegates only
newspaper men will be admitted to the
convention in order to avoid packing of
the hall with shouters in the interest of
any one of the candidates.
Among those prominently mentioned for
the nomination for governor are former
State Treasurer Berry, democrat; former
Mayor George w. Guthrie of Pittsburg,
democrat; D. Clarence Gihoney, Philadel-
phia, Independent republican, Rudolph
Blankenburg, Philadelphia, independent
republican.

|NDORSE TAFT AND

Nebraska Republicans Adopt
Pacific PIatf0rm-L0caI
Option Endorsed.

LINCOLN, Neb.. July 27.-The conven-
| ton of the republican party of Nebras
ka yesterday adopted platform strong
ly indorsing the. administration of
President Taft, expressing unalterable
opposition to the system known as
Cannonism," and hearty sympathy with
the "insurgent' movement in and out
of Congress.
The platform includes a declaration
for county option as the method of reg
ulating the liquor traffic and for an
amendment to the state constitution
providing for direct legislation.
These resolutions were not adopted
without meeting strong opposition, both
in the resolutions committee and upon
the floor of the convention. But while
there were no votes to spare in the
committee for county option, the vote
in its favor in the convention was over
whelming.
Standpatter Elected Chairman.
AS a general proposition, it had been
understood the Endorsement of the
county option and of insurgency" were
supported by the same people. In con-
sequence, when, at the opening of the
convention at noon, United States Sena
tor Norris Brown, "standpatter, was
chosen permanent chairman over Rep
resentative George w. Norris, a leader
vote. the rank and file of the county
optioniSts" began to fear for the fate
of their pet resolution.
1t developed. however. that while no
compromise is admitted by either side
there was a conference the night before,
at which Senator Brown assured the OPP
tionistS" of the character of the reSOlu-
tons committee he would appoint if he
was made permanent chairman.
The committee of seven appointed by
him included three in favor of county
option, three in favor of the present law,
and one in favor of the submission of a
statewide prohibition amendment. The
last-named member finally voted for the
county option plank.
y minority report opposing such a reso-
luton was defeated in the convention,
80 ayes to sos noes. There no di- |
vision on the ma jOrity report.
Senator Browns Address.
In assuming the temporary chairman
ship Senator Brown spoke only along
general political lines. making no ref
erence to the questions uppermost in the
minds of the delegates-the Endorsement
of the insurgency of some of Nebras-
ka s congressman and the county option
plan of regulating the liquor traffic.
OF the new tariff law he said: NO
one has even pretended that that act was
perfect. Its warmest friends have al
ways admitted its imperfections. But
notwithstanding its imperfections, with
the information Congress had at the time.
it was a better law than the law it
superseded and is entitled to the COM
mendation and support of the American
people as step toward the relief of the
public from the duties of the Dingley
law. which the country had outgrown.
Il am glad to say, he continued, 1.-The
entire Nebraska delegation in Congress,
those splendid fighting. courage and
progressive republicans in the House
kinkaid, Norris and Hinshaw, and your
two senators, voted for the law. They
did it because it is a better law than the
one it repealed.
