Nobody Knows Just What
Is Going to Take Place

possibility that some man not yet
mentioned, at the psychological
moment, when the upwards of a
thousand delegates and their
leaders are at grips, may say or
do thing which will make him
the nominee as Bryan did at Chi
cago 16 years ago.
Neither Has Enough Strength.
This is certain: neither Taft
nor Roosevelt has enough in
structed delegates to nominate
him, assuming that all or nearly
all of the contests before the ma
tional committee are decided in
Taft's favor, which seems likely.
Will Taft or Roosevelt be able
to win enough of the non-in-
structed delegates to give him
the votes necessary to nominate?
The Taft managers say yes. The
Roosevelt managers say yes. In
both cases the wish is father to
the thought. 1t is doubtful
whether any man in either camp
has the confidence which the
statements given out from time
to time are intended to convey.
OF course efforts are being
made to win over delegates
pledged to either side and large
claims of success along this line
are being made by both Taft and
Roosevelt managers. But 1t is
not probable that much Roadway
will be made in this direction.
"Play" Called.
"Play" has been called for the
biggest game of politics since the
foundation of the republican
party. Political history is going
to be made fast during the next
few days. 1t is not too much
to say that the future of the
party which, excepting eight
years, has been in control of the
national government for so years,
Is to be determined.

Roosevelt and Lindsey, whether
this ticket is regular republican

CITY TO GET BACK
S|4,032, MAYBE

OF the s7S,416 over the con-
tract price allowed Contractor P.
e. McHugh on his Green river
pipe line job the city will prob
ably get back $14,032.
This represents the difference
in cost of the thin slaves used in
the pipe by order of the council
from the cost of the thick ones
specified in the original contract.
The council has expected to get
the rebate on this and the engi-
neering board fixes the amount
that should come back at $14,-
032. A similar rebate will come
back on the George Wright con-
tract.
All other excuses allowed Nc
Hugh, making up the $78,416,
were by order of the council in
changing plans and entailing ad-
ditional cost.
