SOUTH DAKOTA FOR TAFT
Feeling Against Him Caused by
Reciprocity Overcome.
Iron The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Aug 15.-The South Dakota
delegation to the next Republican, National
Convention Will be solid for the renomina-
ton of President Taft. despite the strong
fight being made by Senator La Toilette
and his friends TO capture the delegation Of
that state This information was brought
10 the White House to-day by Representa-
tive Martin. who said that despite the tenn
porarv setback to the growing popularity
Of the chief Executive, owing TO his de-
terrnined stand in favor OF reciprocity, Mr..
Taft was growing steadily and surely in
the voters favor.
''It would not he correct or fair for me
10 say that opponents OF the President are
not active in my state" said Representa-
live Martin. Senator La Toilette has
many friends there. and they are going to
make a sharp contest for the delegation
from the state. In the northern part Of the
state. where we get our largest Republi-
can msiorities. the disafection is greater
than In other parts Of the state. This is
because of the opposition TO reciprocity
among the farmers The La Toilette peo-
pie are endeavorng to organize. which
means that the friends OF the President
Who are loyal. will have TO he busy right
along
MY opinion is that the delegation from
the state will be for Teft. who IS gaining
strength steadily but surely. The reel
procity bin anenated much support from the
President IN the agricultural sections OF
South Dakota These men, though, are
stout Republicans, accustomed 10 stand by
their party. and am sure that after Mr..
Taft has been nominated they will turn in
and help give the electoral vote 20 him

Senate Committee So Asserts Of
Arbitration PaCtS.
GERMANY SEEKS A TREATY
Lodge Presents Report Elimi-
mating Vital Clause in Pend
ing Conventions.

Washington. Aug 15-Almost in the same
hour that the Senate Committee on For
cign Relations reported to-day 10 the
Senate its conviction that the recently
negotiated arbitration treaties between TINS
country and Great Britain and France
were breeders of bitterness and war;
Germany, through its Ambassador mere
was announcing its desire to be party

United States.
Germany made known to Secretary OF

principles OF arbitration as laid down in
the Secretarys draft recently submitted.

BIG FUTURE FOR TOPEKA.
Santa Fe viii Contribute Much to
Prosperity of state, Says Paper.

The Ho1ton Signal: 1.-The location
of the new Santa Fe Office building
means much to Topeka. It demon
strates that this great system whose
foresight is ever keen, sees a great
deal in the future for Topeka. Their
judgment rarely errs and it is pos
sibie that theirs may be the initial
move that will bring to Topeka a great
number of enterprises which will con-
tribute much to the wealth and pros
perity of our capital city.
Clay Center Times: while Topeka
is known as the capital of Kansas, it
had much better be known as the
capital of the Santa F'e. Topeka with
out the state house would be nearly
as complete as it is. Topeka without
the Santa Fe would be unrecognizable.
A new thirteen story office building,
for its own exclusive use, is being
built by the road, the tallest building
in Kansas. It was in this new build
ing that the Santa Fe gave it's banquet
to the visitors.
"A prettier picture than that pre-
sented by the banquet room as the
guests filed into the hall, we never
expect to see. Nor do we ever expect
to be greeted more cordially and made
to feel so thoroughly at home in so
short time as was done by the Santa
Fe officials assembled there to meet
their guests. If that is the Topeka
spirit, Topeka can have our vote any

RAILROAD NEWS.
May Double Track Kansas Di-
vision of Union Pacific.
President LOvett Believed to Be
Considering This.
TOPEKA TO SALIVA.
Large Amount of Traffic on
Kansas Line.
Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

When the first announcement of the
mammoth plans of the Union Pacific to
double track their main lines to the
Pacific coast was made, the advisability
and the possibility of the double track
ing of the line from Topeka. to Salina
and the Kansas division was given in
the State Journal.
since that time many developments
have been brought to light which
would make it almost certain that the
work will be done in the improvement
men who know of the immense Traffic
over the Union Pacific between Topeka
and Kansas City and to the west,
know that a single track will not carry
this business very long.
Unconfrmed rumors which have
reached Topeka indicate that part
at least of the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific will be included in the
double tracking project of that COM
pany and the Southern Pacific, for
which an appropriation of $75,000000
recently was announced.
Judge r. S. Lovett, president of the
Hartman lines now, is on a tour of in
spection, at the close of which the
definite details will be forthcoming.
The trip is being made to work out the
details. He now is travelling over the
Southern Pacific. He will spend about
two weeks in recuperation in California
before starting east. 1t has been re-
ported that he will come east over the
Kansas division and that he probably
will recommend some double track
work for that section of the system.
The main line of the Union Pacific IN
Nebraska is double-tracked to Kear-
ney, and this, it is understood, will be
extended to Denver.
The Kansas division of the Union
Pacific handles heavy traffic, both
freight and passenger. 1t already is
double-tracked from Kansas City to
Topeka, 81 miles. The volume of bust
ness west of Topeka is sufficient to
Justify heavy track. It already is one
of the finest pieces Of track in the west.
From Limon, Col, to Denver 81 miles,
the track is used jointly by the Rock
Island, which it is believed will be suf-
ficient reason to justify a double track
on that section.
West of Cheyenne and Salt Lake
City it is understood that plans al
ready have been considered for the
work. This is one of the heaviest traV-
eled sections of the Hartman system
At Cheyenne traffic concentrates from
both the Kansas and Nebraska divis-
ions for the west and northwest traf-
fic to California points goes over the
Southern Pacific from Salt Lake City
and over the Oregon Short Line and
the oregon Railway & Navigation
company to the Northwest From
Omaha the Union Pacific receives a
good volume of business from Chicago
and the Minnesota points which in
creases the traffic on the Hartman
lines.
The doubletracking work is to be ex-
tended over a period of five years, and
it is confidently believed that should
work not be started on the Kansas
division this year it will be recon-
mended before the five year period has
passed.

rado business to Oklahoma and the

RADIO business to Oklahoma and the
south.
The reports here are given some
credence~ by the following from a
Guthrie, Okla, paper of this week:
plans are now under consideration
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee
Railroad company to make the Dem
yer, Enid and Gulf division, between
Guthrie and Kiowa, Kan, a distance
of 125 miles, the short cut from the
gulf to Pacific points"
There has been much talk in the
past of the Santa Fe Denver extension
from Scott City and there is also a
very strong and well grounded suspi-
cion that the Santa Fe is influencing
to a large extent, if not absolutely di-
recting affairs, in the Scott City &
Northern and also has a conditional
option on the Garden City, Gulf &
Northern railway.
