GAN TAFT WIN

From now until June next, two questions will be presented to the Republicans of the country, with increasing insistence. They are inseparable and upon the an swers to them both depends the solution of the tariff, railroad, trust and conversation problems the political control of the country for four years.

patters lost some eighty seats in Congress in the landslide, the Progressiveness doubled their representation in the L W e r House. Nothing presents the situation so clearly as table showing, in detail. the situation developed by the last election, with the electoral votes based on the new apportionment:
The Nevada County picayune., 1911-09-22
325 206

Names of States Wnlcn were Republican in 1908, but became Democratic in 1910, in capitals.
 To secure his reelection, Presi- dent Taft must recover not less than sixty electoral votes from States carried by the Democrats in 1910, without losing any votes in the Progressive s a t S which stayed in the Republican column. Can he do it? Can he get back his native State of Ohio? Can he develop any strength in the States on the At lantic Coast which left him last year. without making correspon- ding losses in the West?
 Not counting his own State, there are only five States on the Atlantic seaboard where he can expect considerable recovery Maine, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, New Jersey and New York. But there are nine States in the Middle West and Far West where the revolt against the Payne AL drich tariff. the Wickersham railroad policy, Ballingerism and Lorimerism menace the success of any Standpat candidate for any office. These States are Washington, Oregon, California, Illinois, + Tn s. Nebraska. North Dakota and Wisconsin. Now, the number of electoral votes in the two groups is nearly equal and it is to the Western Group the President is turning his energies. He has paid scant attention to New England; he barely stops in New York and Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana he does not consider at all. Breathing defiance, he is going into the "enemy's country" on another tour of apology :" Two years ago he apologized for the Payne-Aldrich law and now he will apologize to the farmers for removing the protective duties on their products, through the Canadian reciprocity law, while he maintained the cost of cloth ing, blankets and carpets by his veto of the La Toilette wool bill. TOT SIX weeks he will lay aside his executive duties. to oinvite the West to repudiate the course of it's Progressive representatives in Congress. The last tour was followed by increased Progress i've strength, in Congress and the State capitols. Is it like y that the voters have so changed that the result this time can be other than it was before?

Relinquishments MAY Be Sold.

The following bill. which passed
the senate just before the holida v
adjournment, is of considerable in
terest to farmers who are holding
down homesteads in this section of
the Milk River Valley, and whose
lands We're withdrawn from all entry
last summer by the reclamation SER
vice in order that the secretary of the
interior may fully establish irriga-
ton units and determine the cost of
water. The bill reads as folloWs:
''That no entry Shall be hereafter
made, and no entryman shall be per
mitted to go upon lands reserved for
irrigation purposes until the secre-
tary Of the interior Shall have estab-
lished the unit of acreage and fixed
the water charges and the date when
the water can be applied. and make
public announcement of the same.
Where entries We're made prior to
June 25, 1910, the passage Of the GER
titicate issue bill, having been made
may be relinquished in whole or in
part, the lands so relinquished shall
be subject to settlement and entry
under the homestead law as amended
by the irrigation act.

The people i'm Montana who are in
teres1ed and agitated over the sub
ject of county division and who are
impat lent to have the question set
tied will not read the following,
from correspondent i'm Helena,
with great deal of pleasure;
As To county division, it seem S
probable that there will be very lit
tie at this session. The only plan
apparently regarded with favor is
one that would create Musselshell
county out of portions of Yellow
stone and Fergus counties. The
people of Fergus county are not OPP
posing The new county. but thev do
object to all the territory which the
new county proposes to take from
Fergus. The Flat Willow valley is
desired by the new county and Fer
gus people are very anxious to re-
tain that fertile section. If this
difference can I've adjusted it seems
probable that Musselshell will be
created. The chances for the other
proposed new counties are very
slim. The democrats realize that
every lime they create a new county
they are Increasing the republican
majority in the state senate by one
and making it more and more inn
possible for them to control that
body. Members declare that they
will not even consider a proposition
for new county which can not
show an assessed valuation of S.
600, OO).''

futurity, valued at $1,000 of which
$4,000 went to the first horse. at the
grand circuit meeting at Readville
yesterday 1t marked the opening of
the meet, rain having causing post
ponement since Tuesday. The track
was heavy.
Justice Brooke, a prominent candi-
date in the race was withdrawn and
shipped to Kentucky for the S21, 900
futurity there next month. In his abb
sence, the chief rival of Miss Stokes
was Peter Thompson, but he broke at
the quarter in the first heat.
UP to the five eighths pole, in the
second heat, Peter Thompson and Box
were head and head with Miss Stokes,
but Thompson again broke and Box
dropped back.
In the 2-year division Of The breed
ers' futurity the laurels went 10 Prin-
cess Todd, while Miss Deforrest jog
ged home winner in the pacing di-
vision of the futurity. The 2:16 trot
was the best race of the day. Eva
Tanguay gained the first heat by a
neck from Baron Aberdeen. The sec
ond heat looked like dead heat be-
tween Peter Red and Eva Tanguay,
but the judges saw Peter first and he
had speed to spare in the two remain
ing heats.

Frs THAT HAVE BEEN RE-

TEAMS DEFEAT CINCINNATI

It goes without saving that in max
ing play for the pannant, st. Louis
has more than one Cincinnati cast
on The reds discarded Sam Craw-
ford, and Crawford Immediately helped
Detroit win three pennants.
The reds discarded DonIin and SEW
mour, who helped the giants win in
1905.
The reds discarded Overall and
steinfeldt to the cub machine, and
that club won almost without break.
The reds sent Lobert and Paskert
to the phillies, and they took the lead
in the race.
Not overlooking the fact that the
reds sent Higgins, Mowrey and cakes
to st. Louis, and you know what the
cardinals have been doing Of late.
They thought over in redland that
Miller Huggins, the midget second
sacker. was all through.
Today Bresnahan might trade him
for the entire Cincinnati club, but it's
matter of doubt.
Mr.. Higgins isnt overly large but
what there Is Of him is all there as
a ballplayer. He ISN'T setting the
circuit on fire, either as a batsman
or an infelder. but in the meantime
Mr.. Higgins is playing baseball In
all Its departments just the same.
he Is one Of the main cogs in the
Bresnahan MACHINES the hardest
man in the eague to pitch to and Is
one Of thine most peppery athletes
In either league.
Higgins lacks a whole lot Of having
gone back. He is more valuable to-
day than he ever was. He is still
fast and his heady stun lis closely
upon a par with Mr.. Evers at his best
Higgins gets on big lot more than
other athletes who outhit him by
nifty points and he scores barrel full
Of runs.
He is probably the most valuable
man In the league to lead off-works
pitcher to an everlasting finish and
Is always in the thick Of the fray.
