TO CARRY ON PRIMARY FIGHT.
LaFoliette Forces Will Not ceass ef-
fort Despite Committees Action.

Washington. Dec. 14.-The fight for
the republican nomination for presi-
dent is on in earnest. The national
committee has drawn the lines of bat
tie in the call 1t issued and the cam
paign leaders are preparing for the
preliminary skirmish.
The manner Of electing the state
delegations Is the chief issue to which
the leaders are giving attention. The
LaFollette boomers are redoubling
their efforts to obtain direct presi-
Dental preference primaries wherever
possible in spite of the setback given
them by the refusal Of the national
committee to endorse the proposition.
The Taft followers are holding fast to
the convention system Of selecting
delegates
The organization in charge of the
Taft campaign is working for instruct
ed delegations, while the LaFollette
partisans want them instructed for the
Wisconsin senator or else uninstruct-
ed. Those who favor the nomination
of Roosevelt want uninstructed delega-
tions all along the line.
The success that will attend the ef-
forts of the Taft leaders TO obtain con-
vention elected delegates instructed for
the president will indicate several
months in advance of the convention
his prospects of renomination. 1t al
ready is apparent that instructed dele
gates are not to be had for the ask
ing, inasmuch as many eminent regu-
lars, supposedly loyal to the president.
are beginning to turn 81 weather eye
toward the Roosevelt boom and to seek
safety by delivering their delegates un-
instructed.
The California progressives expect
to have statewide presidential pref
erence primary.
1t is reported here that Governor
Stubbs, of Kansas. will call a special
session of the legislature to provide a
presidential preference primary In that
state. In five states such primaries
will be held by law, and the progress
ives are seeking to induce state COM
mittees in other states to arrange In
formally for obtaining the sentiment OF
the people.

first building in Detroit in 1907, and

URGES TOBACCO REVIEW.
Senator cunn,ins Asks Supreme Court
to Act and Relieve Business Worries.


Washington, Dec. 14.-Senator Cum
minis of Iowa in speech yesterday
urged speedy action on his bill provid-
ing for a review; BY the supreme court
of the United States of the decree Of
the United States circuit court for the
southern district OF New York, approx
ing the reorganization Of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company.
He said that "the welfare Of the
people, the stability Of business. and
the wants Of congress imperatively re-
uuire that this decree shall be re-
viewed by the supreme court in order
that We may know whether this decree
is all that the antitrust law will do for
the people"
Until this fact is determined, he said
the present business uncertainty must
continue.
Mr.. Cummins said that nothwith-
standing the supreme courts decision
dissolving the American Tobacco Com
pany had been based on the fact tina!
the tobacco business had been so large
.ly controlled by one company, the con-
troll OF the affairs of the company was
continued largely in three holding com
Lorillard company, and the Liggett 4
Myers company, owning S2l3.0oO.Oo0 OF
the s22s.OO0.OoO of the old American
company.
"The same men who owned the
American Tobacco Company own these
three companies and own them III the
same proportion that they owned the
old company" he said, 80 that they
will control the business under the new
arrangements as completely as they
controlled it under the old order If II
was unlawful for these men to concen-
trate the business so completely as they
did, it is giving the people stone In
stead Of bread, to permit the new oroel
to continue"
He said that the other eleven COM
panies were owned by the same people
who own the three, $50 that the only
result achieved will be to make the
administration more inconvenient.

Mr.. Mann added that If the United
States asserted that discrimination
against races was abrogation OF

tude toward the exclusion Of orien-
tails.
The debate in the house bristled with
charges that Russia's attitude was an
offense against the United States and
that her exclusion Of American Jews
who bore passports certified was an
affront to good government. Represen-
tative McCoN Of massachusetts,. said
the matter ought not to be acted upon
by the house until 1t had been sub
mitted to arbitration between the two
countries. Representative Longworth'
Of Ohio, insisted that "thel time for
arbitration had gone and the time for

This ought not to be considered IN
any way an affront to Russia said Mr..
Longworth. "The United States de-
sires the friendship Of Russia, but this

sert the continued right Of the United

clares that the government Of the
United States will not be party to
any treaty which discriminates or which
by one of the parties that it is so con-
strued to discriminate, between Amer

honor American passports duly issued
