DIxON'S SAD LOT.

Few people who follow political events
viii fail TO recall the howls of oeris'oh
which issued from the Roosevelt headquar-
tiers in this city when. after the l'iinols
primary. II was found that Theodore
Roosevelt had carried the district repre-
sented BY Representative Mckinley IN inc
House. Now, however, the taples are
turned, and President Taft has carrled
Lewis and Clark counties, Mont. includlhs
Helena. the chief city Of Senator lHSon
own state. Senator Dixon had taken pains
10 have the Roosevelt delegates listed III
Lewis and Clark counties, made detei-
mined fight for their election. and has oeen
boasting loudly of the victory Of which ne
was certain. The results show that his
candidate was rejected by vote of to l.
and incidentally throw a food OF hgnt on
the weight of Mr.. Dixons influence III MS
own state. In this connection attention Is
called by the Taft bureau 10 the mistake
made by Colonel Roosevelt when ne an
nounced recently that he had carried Seat
tie by a vote Of S 10 |. Apparently senator
Dixon has not confined his efforts to Oh
scure the facts 10 the general public, bnt
has included his own principal, for IN tnc
primary TO which Mr.. Roosevelt referred
no Taft candidates were named the Tart
people having elected their delegates
week earlier. Nor was there anything lot

primary to which the colonel referred Tor
in a popular primary he received less than
1900 votes ont Of total Republican vote

TALK OF THIRD CANDIDATE.

II is frequently announced with great
posltiveness that the Republican leaders
are beginning TO talk of a third candidate
and that the politicians are fast coming 10
the conclusion that neither President tart
nor Mr.. Roosevelt can be renominated
There is talk Of this kind-Quitc q little or
it-but il all emanates from the Roosevelt
ties IL is talked" only by the members
of the "anything-t hest-Taft' faction
who have the happy faculty Of p'aktng up
in righteousness what they lack In num-
hers And II is only natural that talk OF
that kind should come from the supporters
OF Colonel Roosevelt. Men who are VIII
ming will not naturally turn aside to con
slider the advisabilit Of candidate other
than the one with whom they arc win
ming: whereas, those who are losing, espe-
cially when they are few in number and
actuated moro by hostility 10 the winner
than by loyalty to the loser, must ma
some measure of comfort, AS they realize
their candidate cannot win, in Specializing
on the possibility Of preventing his oppo-
nent from winning also. This talk OF a
third candidate hobs up at frequent inter
walls and sometimes in such form az 10

lilly WHITES" WAITING
Roosevelt Men in South Carolina
Postponed Convention.
lBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.

Columbia. s. c.. May 5.--Thc state con
venfion of the so-called lilly white" wing
of the Republican party in South Carolina.
which was to have been held to-day, has
been postponed, according to the announce
,nent Of J.. W. c. BlalOck. state chairman
OF the faction, who, with other leaders, re-
fused to give any reasons for the postpone
,nent IL was stated that the meeting would
be held later i'm the month.
The change in plans has caused some
speculation, one rumor having il that the
postponement meant that the Roosevelt
forces had a considerable grip on some OF
the South Carolina delegates and saw 10
need OF holding a convention
The rumors about the detection of dele
gates instructed for Taft have been going
the rounds for some time, being largely
based on q statement given out at the
Roosevelt headquarters In Washington that
certain of the South Carolina delegates had
decided not 10 abide by instructions. but
go TO Colonel Roosevelt. This was subse-
duently denied from sources favorable TO
President Taft, notably by J. W. Tolbert,
state chairman Of the so-called black and
tans." which faction also claims 10 be
regular.
Il is very difficult to determine whether
there is any truth in the rumor OF defec-
tion. OF sixteen delegates already elected
fourteen are instructed for Taft and two
are unrestricted.

exists any such thing in Mexico as an anti

Americans who may have received injury
either to person or property AT the hands

will continue Ia make, every possible effort
toward protecting all interests, both do

In his statement. which is addressed to

Groundless. Says Toxic Man.

In formal statement expressing the
attitude Of his government toward the
whole AFFAIR T. Miyaoka, of TOXIC. former
" Of the japanese Foreign Office and the
diplomatic service makes this formal state
ment:
Quite a stir has been caused among the
press OF this country over the news that
the United States Senate has passed the
resolution introduced by senator Lodge
calling on the President Tor Information
regarding The Japanese negotiations Tor
Ma gdalena Bay"
Tho press dispatches received were TO the
effect that Japan had entered into nego-
uations with the government OF Mexico Tor
the lease of some property IN the region
OF Magdalena Bay for the establishment or
a naval coaling station; that 1t was con-
sdered by the United States Senate 10 DC
a menace to the Monroe Doctrine, etc.
| do not know what truth there is in the
reported story OF the proposed ACQUISITION
by some japanese interests or nshlng
rights on the western coast OF Mexico o,
into by the agents OF the Togo kisen-
Kaisha for the acquisition OF some prop
ertv on Magdalena Bay for the storage OF
coal needed by its steamers.
Probably ono or the other. or botn, taken
rctrospectively with some passage In the
speech that had been delivered ny me
senior Senator from Massachusetts, on the
occasion of the debate on the arbitration
treaties furnished the necessary basis for
the fabrication OF the wild rumor.
Mr.. Miyaoka quotes from THE Japan
Advertiser" a Toxic newspaper printed In
English as follows
We are not Inclined to credit the japanese
government with any designs IN Magdalena
Rav. 1t is obvious that il they were 10
negotiate with Mexico the lease of coal
ing station there they would evoke pro-
tost from Washington couched in no un-
certain terms. Japan has constantly and
repeatedly displayed her intention to dwell
AT peace with her powerful transpacfic
neighbor and she has done so In the face
of repeated provocation. She has never
sought to make trouble, and no surer way
could he found for making trouble than TO
meddle i'm Magdalena Bay on prima facie
grounds, therefore, we may dismiss the
wilder stories which have spread over the
American continent.
