ROOSEVELT PLANS BOLT
Congressman Henry George

Congressman Henry George Jr ,
writing to the New York Herald,
says: "Mr. Taft has an overwhelm-
ing majority in the national com
mittee, and unless this committee is
different from all other national com.
mittees it will throw Mr.. Roosevelt +
contesting delegates out. Mr. koose-
welt must know this. In fact there are
wise ones who say that he has de.
liberately built his campaign upon it,
These wise ones 60 so far as to say
that he expects his contesting dele
gations to be refused seats and that
he will then issue a proclamation to
the world that he has been cheated
out of seats; that he will not allow
his name to be presented to the con.
vention and that he will immediate.
ly set about organizing a boiling con-
ventiop, which will be all his; that
in that convention he will be
nominated with demonstration OF
unanimity and enthusiasm.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SCRAP.

The republican state conventions
and presidential primaries have now
all been held, and the remainder of
the contest all centers in Chicago,
where the national convention will
be held The republican national
committee will begin it's sessions
there tomorrow, to decide which of
the many contested delegates are en-
in spite of the claims of the rival
managers, the result in these contests
will decide whether Taft or Roose-
welt shall receive the nomination.
The sort of contest which the country
has been witnessing during the past
few weeks has been of a character
different from what we have ever
passed through before, and it is hoped
that it is decidedly different from
what we shall ever witness again
The bombast, the chicanery, the
hypocricy, the vituperation to which
we have been treated is such as brings
a blush of shame and disgust to
honest and right thinking men.
Upon the face of the returns Mr.
Taft seems to have a slight lead in
the mum Der Of delegates and as the
national committee now stands his
supporters are in the majority in that
body. 1t has been the unbroken
precedent in the history of the party
for the newly elected members of
the national committee to assume
the duties of their office following
the close of the convention. This
year many new members were chosen
IN the various state primaries. It
Us the present Roosevelt contention
that these men should take their
positions at once, and thus replace
the present members in settling the
cases of contesting delegates. It is
unlikely that this move will succeed,
but should it do so it would be great
ly to Roosevelt's advantage.
While the respective managers of
Taft and Roosevelt each claim that
his candidate has more than enough
votes to secure his nomination on the
first ballot, it is not impossible that
the vote may be so close that neither
will have majority and that the
balance of power may be represented
by the little handful of votes con
trolled by LaFollette, who hopes that
in such case he may become the
compromise candidate.

AGES OF THE CANDIDATES.

In an article in the June American
Magazine entitled "Our Next Presi-
dent and Some Others the author.
Ray Stannard Baker. presents the fol-
lowing facts:
1t is interesting to know that
every one of the seven candidates,
even including Roosevelt, has been
ADM tilted to the bar, and five of them
have had successful careers in the
law. Two have been judges No
one of them is a business man, and
no one. save Mr. Harmon, mas had
any considerable experience with
business affairs, either large or small
No one of them is a rich man and
though several of them, by virture of
their high talents, have been able at
times to earn large incomes, they
have all been hard workers Two or
three of them have been relatively
poor men all their lives, living fru-
gally and devoting themselves unre-
servedly to public work
All of the candidates. save Will
son, have had long experience in pub
lie Office. and in dealing with public
men and public questions. While
most of them can be called able poll
Gicans, no one of them belongs to that
extreme type known as a machine
politician: boss. Thare is to the
credit of every one of them not little
sound public service.
All of the seven, save possibly
Harmon, are at the very prime of life
for national leadership. These are
their ages:
Underwood years old.
Roosevelt-54 years old.
Taft-55 years old
Wilson-56 years old.
LaFollette-57 years old.
'Clark-62 years old.
Harmon-66 years old
1t is also Of curious rather than
of important interest that most of the
seven were born in states which have
long been fertile in the production
of presidents and presidential candi
dates Wilson was born in Virginia,
CLARK and Underwood in Kentucky,
Taft and Harmon in Ohio. and Roose
welt in New York Only one candi-
date, LaFollette, comes from what
znay be called a new presidential
state. =

THE CROP MARKETS
Lofty TumbIing in Wheat-Corn
and Oats Rally Late.

Price changes In the wheat market yes
terday zigzagged at a rate which kept spec
ulators guessing, and their guesses were as
often wrong as right. Reports of heavy
rainfall sent prices up at the start, but
Kansas and Northwestern advlces OF an
optimistic nature came In. and prices
dropped to &c below Saturdays close. Late
in the afternoon covering caused a sharp
rally, and the market closed steady, at
about the top, and showing a net gain of
2sQ24c. Corn lacked strength at any time
during the day, and prices sagged until the
late trading when covering left the mar
ket little steadier, at net unchanged to
lac decline. Oats followed the example of
corn, being easy most Of the day, under the
influence of good rains, with partial re-
covery near the close, which found prices
net unchanged to &c lower.
Somewhat disappointing cables had little
or no influence on prices here in the coffee
market, and the firmness in spots and an
advance Of l2c in prices by a prominent
rooster made the market for futures firm
and rather bullish. Prices at one time
showed gains OF Z to 9 points over Satur
days close, but there was slight reac-
ton near the end Of trading, based on ru-
mors affecting q Santos house. and on sales
OF $500 bags the market closed l TO 4
points net higher than on Saturday.

Speaking reluctantly OF the report that
his directors had requested him to give up
nying and direct tho future development

Wright said;
some OF the directors did ask me not TO
ny for the present but Il was entirely
personal matter and no formal action WAS
taken on tho subject. That IS all ! care 10
say about tt
Mr. Wright !ntimated however. that the
request OF tho directors would not have
great deal OF weight with him. for when
asked II he had any experiments under
way at the present time ne said that such
things would require too much time TO dis
cuss. The meeting OF the directors consld-
cred proposed memorial to Wilbur
Wright and the establishment Of a train
ing school for aviators in the East. but no
