NOW IT'S TAFT WITH BIC STICK
FOLLOWS PREDECESSORS EXAMPLE

Washington, juno 4.-Following in
the footsteps of his predecessor, The
odore Roosevelt. President Taft has
determined to act the part of dictator
a. the next republican convention. In
the case of Roosevelt, the big stick
welded it's force in behalf of William
Howard Taft for the presidency and
the issue was successful, notwithstand-
ing a great deal of opposition. In the
case of Taft, diplomacy will take the
place of force, the issue being the Sc
lection of a vice president or running
mate for Mr.. Taft in 1912.
At the last convention, Roosevelt
ard Taft opposed the selection OF
James Schoolcraft Sherman for the
vice presidential nomination, but were
unable TO stem the tide in his favor.
The same forces which controlled the
destinies then hold the balance of
power now, and are just as strong for
Sherman for a second term, should
the republican ticket, headed by Pre- 81
dent Taft, be the choice of the party,
as it was in the stormy days of 1908.
From present indications, it is gather
ed that should President Taft attempt
to dictate to the leaders of the party
successor to Sherman, the issue
frrI,t
against him in his attempt to obtain
the denomination.
Hammond Wants It.
The gossip originates from the close
friendship of President Taft for John
Hays Hammond, and Hammond's op-
position to Sherman as running
mate in the next campaign. Ham
mond it is know, is very desirous Of
becoming president of the United
States senate, having made a bid for
it during the campaign of 1908, when
his candidacy was announced at Chi
cago
Since those days, Hammond has
made himself solid at the white
house, being one of the closest of the
presidents friends. The president has
reciprocated Mr. Hammond's friend
ship in numerous ways, the latest of
which was the appointment of Ham
mond as special ambassador of the
United States to the coronation of
King George of Great Britain. Still
greater honors, it is believed, the pres
| ident intends to show his friend by
making him his running mate in 1912,
| if 1t is within his power to do so.
According to political gossip, that
will not be an easy matter for Presi-
dent Taft to do, for the possibility
| still exists that Mr. Sherman may run
again for the vice presidential nomi-
nation Notwithstanding his quoted re
marks of some months ago that he did
not even intend to become a candi-
date again. Then, too, the progressive
wing of the republican party have a
candidate of their own whom they
would like to see either as president
or as vice president, Senator Albert
B. Cummins of Iowa. Cummins, how
ever, has little relish for the vice presi
dency, his ambition being to become
president. Other places on the repub-
lican ticket are not to his liking, he
preferring to remain as senator from
Iowa rather than to accept any other
berth short of the presidential nomi-
nation.

Should the much talked OF arrange.
ment go through without hitch, Pres
ident Taft OF course being reelected
as president, it is pointed out that the
president, with Hammond as vice pres
ident. would have active support as
we'll as an enthusiastic friend in the
councils of the senate At the pres
ent time he is without that particular
brand of friendship in either the house
of representatives or the senate, and
| it is said that this situation is partly
responsible for the opposition to his
Canadian reciprocity agreement.
For long time it has been known
that Vice President Sherman has not
been an enthusiastic supporter of Pres.
ident Taft either as presiding officer
of the senate or as a party leader OF
wide influence. In fact, it has been
stated that, through Sherman course
III the senate, the progressives have
been able to maintain their position
of opposition to the presidents
schemes, with the support of the dem
ocrats.
Therefore, it is pointed out. Presi-
dent Taft is particularly anxious TO
secure Hammond as an aide and sup
porter, Notwithstanding the fact that
It might cost him many votes which
would otherwise be cast for him as
president.

Muskosee Property Assessments.

Oklahoma City. Okla, June 4.-Thc
city of MuSkogee has assessed its own
property at a fair cash value and pro
poses to use every effort TO require
other cities of the state to do the
same. This was indicated in a letter
received today by Gov Cruce from
D. II. Middleton. mayor of Muskogee,
who states that business lots in Mus
kogee have been assessed at from $500
to 81 200 a front foot and residence
property from 81 to $50 front foot,
which is. he says. the fair cash value
of the property.
Mayor Middleton states, however,
that he has investigated the assess
ments made by several other cities Of
the state, and he believes that they
have not assessed property at its fair
value as required by the constitution.
lu oklahoma City. he says, business
property has been assessed $500 to
O0O front foot and residence prop
erty $50 10 $50 a front foot. Business
lots at Ardmore have been assessed n
about $3.50 Chickasha $3.50 and Tulsa
$3.50 a front foot. according TO the
letter. Mayor Middleton urges the
governor and board of equalization to
use every effort 10 bring every city
of the state up to the standard set by
Muskogee as that city does not desire
10 have a high standard when other
towns have a low basis of valuation.

A Fight Is Certain.


Even President Taft's friends admit
that they will have a most determined
fight on their hands at the next nation
al convention. The standpatters are
not Over-enthusiastic in Offering a sec
ond term to President Taft. being OPP
posou TO him for many reasons, and
in this respect are quite as vigorous
in their opposition as the insurgents.
Consequently even at this early date,
Tafts friends and enemies are getting
together and some talk OF compromise
is drifting around. Hence, it is wis
pered that Senator Cummins is the
most likely man to be selected as a
compromise candidate for vice presi-
dent. although the place is not one
that he would desire.
Therefore the road will be opened
for the selection of John Hays Ham
mond as the candidate.
Since his candidacy for vice presi-
dent in 1908 was announced, Mr. Ham.
mond has been booming his qualifCa
tons for tne office increasingly. and
now, having the backing of President
Taft and a following in his own state.
Massachusetts,. it is likely that he will
be a prominent figure in the next pres
idential compaign.
Mr.. Hammond's friends are conf
dent that he will make a respectable
showing in the republican convention.
He is at present president of the
league of republican state clubs, the
membership of which has affiliations
throughout the country. and he has
done much to keep that organization
alive, especially in financial way.
Mr.. Hammond will call
upon his friends in that organization
when the proper time comes to pro-
duce delegates for him at the next
President Taft's friends make no Sc
cret of the fact that. If Hammond is
selected as Taft's running mate, il
will be distinctly pleasing to the pres
