of some OF the political leaders who are
watching the fall Of the cards in the

Indications are plentiful that the
Progressive Republicans are growing
more and more dsinclined TO fall into
line behind President TAFT, who is
practically certain to be renomnated

party. Their opposition Will first be
manifested in the national convention
where his denomination will be con
tested.
Af.erward, and dependent in meas
nro upon the character OF the man nom
mated by the Democrats TO head their
ticket, the Progressive Republicans
may set UP ticket OF their OVID. Such
course would be based upon the en-
pcctatlon Of drawing upon The progress
sive element in both tho Democratic
and Republican parties at the polls.

Payne Aldrich tariff law has the course

fills 63 large sized typewriter pages
carries full fluctuations Of all funds Of
the State, with statements of eypendi-
lures for each of the various objects
for which the State provides. together
with receipts from various sources oil
revenue which the State has. A con-
siderable amount of space is devoted
to recommendations by the auditor for
changes in the laws relating to dis

The net debt of the State Dec. 81,
1910. was $2.2o6. 460.6S.

Showing an increase of s1,15l 1873
in the two years ending Dec. 81, 1910.
Many accounts in the treasury have
been running so long and with. only
crude methods that it is a gigantic
task to establish their correctness.

this work. but recommends that it be
done without delay.
