to Reform Agitation.

SAN QUENTIN. Cal. June 11.-Warden
Hoyle has decided that prison discipline

that under the phraseology of the BILL an

the primary purpose of using II in official
business. would have to pay for the In
stallation OF the instrument, although he
could be reimbursed for tolls requirea

MR.. ANTHONY THINKS
TAFT VICTORY IS SURE
Kansas Representative Says
President Will Be Renomi-
mated and Elected.

President Taft Is not only going to be
nominated at Chicago. but he is fong to
be elected In November declared Rep
! resentative Anthony of Kansas AT the
White House today. Mr.. Anthony had
conferred with the President. found HIM
tuned up for the fray at Chicago next
week, and firm in his confidence that il
Will result in victory for HIM.
1.-THE ndustriously circulated view that
Roosevelt is the on.y man than can be
elected by the republicans is or pur
pose" went on Mr. Anthony The solid
substantial men Of Il Is country are behind
the President. l do not mean the big in
terests OF Wall street. but l do mean the
business man and manufacturer of mod
crate rating and desi.o OF continual
ton of sane. responsible government.
1T is admitted that tn clash OF mon
did not take part in the hurrahs OF pri-
| maries and elections. All the primary
election figures indicate that less than y,
per cent of the registered republican vote
was polled. What about the other -,
per cent, the men who We're not In
fiuenced by the nose and shouts To go TO
the polls? How will they vote In Mo-
yember?
President Taft stands mighty well with
thinking democrats, and the Baltimore
national convention must put up first
class man to poll the full party vote II
the democratic nominee is too rad. cal and
regarded as unsafe by good men OF his
party he will los e more votes than he
will gain from radical republicans who
may be dissatisfied W tn the nomina ION OF
Taft In the event there is a bolt at
Chicago and a division of the radical vote
President Taft is practically sure OF cleo
ton in November"
Political Visitors Scarce.
Political visitors to the executive offices
were scarce. Many representatives are
either in Chicago or on their way west
Other republican politicians are going
in the same direction. The Presidents
advices of a political nature are direct
from Secretary Hilles and Representative
Mckinley. his managers at Chicago
These advices continue 10 he most en-
couraging and satisfactory.
A session of the cabinet was held today,
at which politics and business mingled
to some extent. Before the cabinet meet
ing the President had conference with
Henry Lane Wilson, the American am
bassador to Mexico, who las come to
this country on a short leave of absence.
His repCr.s to the President and Secre-
tary Knox are favorable to the putting
down of the revolution within reason
able time.
The President also talked with Assist
tant Secretary Curtis of the Treasury
about sending revenue cutters and relief
to the region around Kodiak, Alaska,
where volcanoes have been in eruption
and covered considerable territory with
ashes and rock to a depth OF more than
a foot One cutter has been dispatched
to tie scene and another had been or
dered to start. Mr.. Curtis has set on
foot Inquiries as to what money Will be
needed for the relief of those who have
suffered. The revenue cutters are carry

Saws Non-Residents Voted.

Judge O'Rear declared hundreds of Ohio
and West Virginia men had come into
Kentucky to take part in he Boyd county
convention. He said that In other coun-
ties non-residents had come In to partfci-
pate in the convention.
Judge O'Rear's argument covered not
only the state convention. but the prlma-
ries and conventions throughout the
state. He declared conditions throughout
Kentucky were such that few districts
selected their delegates in accordance
with popular opinion.
In the state convention. presided over
by Senator w. o. Bradley. he declared
the control by the Taft forces had been
procured by seating contested delega-
tons.

no opportunity given to elect us. We
lave brought tn question direct to the
highest party authority. If YOU have the
right to dec de. who can sit in the conVen-
ton you also have the richt TO expur-
gate that roll and TO refuse seats 10
those not properly elected.
The total vote we claim was taken
from Col Roosevelt in the first district
was about 800" said Judge O'Rear.
In the second district. he said the Taft
forces saw in advance they were out
numbered n the Daviess county conven-
ton and hurried TO the hall and elected
Taft delegates before any one else had
chance to come in.
judge O'Rear said he was opposed 10
''bolting but If they had bolted in the
kentucky districts il would have been OF
no avail because the conventions were
being conducted by the regular party or
sanitation.

Yes. | don't question their veracity
now" said Judge O'Rear. Il simply
question the frailty of human nature.

COOPERATION is URGED
Member State Board of Public A.
tairs Alleges Farmers Lose Nil
lions on Potatoes Alone.

Madison.-"If the farmers of Wis
consin would cooperate and market
their own potatoes, figuring three
cents bushel as a conservative saw
ing to them, they would save nearly
S1,000,000 a year." is the statement
of representative of the Wisconsin
state board of public affairs.
ut is safe estimate" he ex-
claimed, that five cents bushel
represents the increased profit real
lied by the farmers selling to the
wholesalers and consumers in the
cities through their warehouse oper-
ations. One farmer has not enough
potatoes to make it worth while for
a wholesaler to do business with him.
The individual farmer usually sells
his crop to the small local dealer,
who in turn disposes of it to a job
Der. And neither the producer nor
the consumer profits by such an ar
rangement. for the potatoes pass
through too many hands How diff
ferent is the situation when farmers
combine their cooperation and put
up warehouses and deal directly with
the wholesaler, the retailer or con-
sumer."
