Editor Davey. of the Harney Count,
News, says OF the progressive record
OF Ben Selling. progressive Republican
nominee for United States Senator
ben Selling was an earnest and
persistent advocate OF popular rights
and privileges when the men who are
now leading the noisy band of Roose-
welt shouters wore among the most
hide-bound stand-patters. some OF
them going 80 far as openly TO refuse
as members OF the Legislature TO vote
for the successful candidate OF their
own party for United States Senator,
just TO emphasize their opposition to
the popular system Of election"

FATE OF FELINES
f, UP TO JOHNSTON
Cat Club to Make Plea This
Morning to Save
Their Lives.

Upon the request Of Mrs. Henry L
West, president Of the Washington Cat
Club, hearing before the Commission.
ers will be held in the board room Of the
District Building at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, on the question OF repeating the
recent cat ordinance.
It was decided to grant the hearing to-
day, IN view OF the return to the city
Of Commissioner Johnston who has su-
pervisIon over the District pound. 1t Is
not likely that the order will be repealed.
It IL rather expected that a greater sen
timent will be developed at the hearing
In favor Of the ordinance than against 1t.
The order was approved by the three
Commissioners at a board meeting on
June II. Notice Of the order was pub
lished in the local papers on June IL
As all such orders do not become ef-
fective until thirty days after the pub
LEGATION OF their enactment, the cats
will be safe up to July -.
II Is believed that the poundmaster
will not be able 10 enforce the law after
II becomes effective, because Of the fact
that the appropriation for the fiscal year
has been cut down considerably. With
the present equipment Of the pound the
catching Of cats seems an impossibllity.
Only one wagon Is now operated by
Poundmaster Kuhn. and II this were
assigned to the catching OF both dogs
and cats, Il would be necessary to place
the cats and the dogs together. Some
have pointed out that this would be an
excellent solution Of the entire matter.
saving the poundmaster the trouble OF
asphyxiating the felines.

HOW MANY NAVAL
OFFICERS CAN SWIM
AROUND A BATTLEsHP

How many naval officers can swim
around a battIeship without exhaustion
That. in effect, is the question which
is TO be incorporated in blanks for re-
ports on inspections Of ships in the
United States Navy, II was announced
at the department yesterday. Also. in
speeding officers are to be asked what
percentage OF the officers and crew on a
given ship can swim fve minutes with
out exhaustion.
The suspicion has been growing in the
navy recently that many officers and
men are not quite as proficient in swim
ming as they ought TO be. This belief
Is founded on fact. as numerous drown
ing accidents have demonstrated.
Swimming has already been made a
part Of the regular course OF instruction
for enlisted men. and last month several
midshipmen at the Naval Academy were
denied their diplomas because they could
not meet the usual swimming tests. II
is proposed to make the swimming
standard even higher. in order to guar
antee a naval personnel that can take
care OF itself in the water as well as on

TAFT Is SATISFIED
WITH OPPONENT
President and Cabinet Take Keen
Interest in Returns from
Baltimore. ...

President Taft and his Cabinet mani
tested keen interest in the developments
in the Baltimore convention yesterday.
to hear the returns.
When the meeting adjourned Wilson
had safely cleared the 800 mark. on the
forty-thIrd ballot. Most Of the members,
upon leaving, agreed that Wilson's NOM
nation appeared certain, and that would
be perfectly satisfactory to Taft. Wi
son-that's ALL" said one member. He
will give US a goodly number OF Demo-
Gratis who are not radically progressive"
Belief was expressed by some OF the
members that Roosevelt would not run
against Wilson. Some, however. feared
that Roosevelts failure to run might en-
danger Tafts chances-the Democrats
might gain some progressive votes from
the Republicans, whereas the nomination
OF Clark or Underwood might have
thrown a sufficient progressive vote 10
Roosevelt to Insure Taft's election.
The President received the bulletin an
nouncing wilson's nomination Just as he
finished luncheon. He would make no
comment for publication. He spent the
afternoon on the golf links.
Senator Borah. one Of the strong Roose-
Welt leaders until the ex-President read
himself out of the Republican party,
was among the Presidents visitors. Upon
leaving. he said he could add nothing
to what he had said at the Chicago
convention concerning his posltion-that
he is a Republican. first and last, and
will support the nominee Of the conven-
ton. II is understood that the Idaho
Senator will take the stump for the
President next fall.
Senator Murray Crane called at the
Executive Mansion early in the day TO
formulate the plans for the big political
conference to be held July S, after the
Presidents return from Beverly. The
Presidential party will leave for the
summer White House" tonight, Mr..
Taft returning Monday.
