that the road will cost 100000, and
an item for this amount was, at the
instance of Senator Warren, inserted
In the army appropriation bill. Sen
ator Bacon and others protested Wig
orously against the appropriation, but
on a roll call, the measure passeu
with a margin OF three voees Inc
Georgia senator called attention 10
the fact that this is the first time
the. United States has ever built a
railroad, taking title to the roadoeu
and equipment, and he protested
against the investment OF puollc
funds for the construction or per
manent Improvement OF this char
acter In the remote Philippine ISL
ands. He called attention TO the
fact that railroads are built IN the
Philippine Islands by private capltal
under an arrangement by which the
Philippine government guarantees
bonds and the United States stands
behind this guarantee. He saw no
reason. he said, why there should be
any departure from this practice In
this instance. If railroad was need
ed he thought the Philippine treasury
ought to bear the cost.
Senator Warren defended the ap-
propriation on the ground that IL
costs 100000 a year 10 haul supplies
from the coast TO the military camp
army for the pacihcation OF the Mo-
army for the pacifcation fthe Mo
ros. As the army engineers have es-
timated that a narrow guage road
can be built for 100000, he contends
that this would make a great saving
and that economy requires that the
roa dbe built. Eight years ago the
army engineers estimated the cost OF
constructing this same road at mil
lion dollars, and President Taft, then
secretary OF war, took a party. in
Guiding Senator Warren, on horse
back to the scene OF the proposed
road Since that date the estimated
cost of construction has, been reduced
Senator Warren admitted that the
road would be unique in that IL would
be the first road owned absolutely as
to right-of-way, equipment, etc, by
the United States government, the
land being taken under the same
arrangement that the government
takes land for military posts. FORTH
cations, etc. The road will be oper-
ated by members OF the army. In
every sense II will be a government
owned railroad.
Senator Reed argued against the
proposal on the ground that II there
Is actually 100000 worth OF freight
to be carried. the road would obvious
ly be good venture for private CAPT
tai. Warren replied that however
that might be, private capital was IN
willing to build the road. Lodge
urged its necessity as a military prop
osition. In the course OF the debate
Senator Bacon brought out the fact
that the total cost TO the United |
States Of the Philippines up to date
has been something over a billion |
dollars.

to the aid Of Col. Roosevelt. It is
well known fact that there are many
Wisconsin people who think that if
Senator LaFollette cannot be nominate
ed the nomination should 60 to the
man from Oyster Bay. Indeed it was
because he held these views and felt
he could not be a party to deIega-
ton which should be pledged first, last
and always to Senator LaFollette, that
caused Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot
to withdraw as a candidate for dele
gate-at-large.
1t is probable that there are lot
Of men on the Wisconsin delegation
who are hoping that contingency
will not arise which will make it neces-
sary for the Wisconsin delegation to
desert the LaFollette banner. Sena-
tor LaFollette has his program map
ped out and it is not on his black
board that any votes from Wisconsin
shall ever be given to Col. Roosevelt
Senator LaFollette has at all times a
great appreciation of the dramatic,
and he can see the strength from his
standpoint of having his home state
delegation say to the world that there
is no man whom the members con-
slider worthy the Republican nominal
tion for the presidency. Mr.. LaFol-
lette would like, at least, to gain from
the convention such an endorsement.
In fact, it would increase his pleasure
if other states having a LaF'ollette
delegation would take the same stand.
Thus any delegate in the Wisconsin
delegation who should break away and
support Col. Roosevelt would, should
such a contingency occur, likely
come under the personal displeasure
Of the senator, and there have been
many breaks between Senator LaFol-
lette and former followers in this
state because these former followers
have dared follow their own ideas on
some political question and in doing
so, have run counter to those of the
senator. There is no one familiar with
the political history Of the state Tor
the last ten years, but is well aware
of this fact.
In the talk at Madison it seems to
be the idea that if occasion arises
where it seems it is necessary that the
Wisconsin delegation shall leave Sen
ator LaFollette that caucus shall be
called of the Wisconsin delegates and
a resolution adopted which shall leave
the delegates free to follow their own
wills in the question Of a second
choice. 1t is said no action will, how
ever, be taken along this line unless
contingency occurs seemingly MAX
ing a second choice vote by the Wis
consin delegation imperative.
The chance of second choice action
being necessary is, however, admitted
by the LaFollette leaders to be likely.
It is bridge not yet being crossed,
however.

DIVIDED AS TO SECOND CHOICE
Members Of Delegation Declare They
WIN Stick to Candidacy Of the Wis
cousin Senator, but Politicians Elk
pect Changes After First Ballot.

Although in any talk which is for
publication no Wisconsin delegate to
the Republican national convention
will admit there has been any discus
sion whatever among the leaders as
to what the Wisconsin delegates will
likely do in case a second choice vote
becomes an absolute necessity in the
baIloting for president in the Chicago
convention, there can be little doubt
from talk that has filtered out from
the leaders and is to some extent COM
mon gossip around the capital that
there have been several quiet confer
ences on that subject. In talking for
publication the members Of the Wis
consin delegation all claim that the
votes of the Wisconsin delegation will
lie gwen to Robert nj. LaFollette in
all contingencies at the Republican
national convention and that under
no circumstances viii the members of
the delegation even think Of second
choice.
Instead, it is said the final ballot
viii find the delegation voting for
Robert M. LaFollette just as firmly as
ON the initial ballot and the delega-
tion will not even vote to make any
other nomination by the convention
unanimous Without doubt this is the
program which Senator LaFollette
would like to see pursued. It would
give him great pleasure in defeat, if
defeat should come to him, to be able
to say that his home state, Wisconsin,
had been true under all contingencies
and had shown very plainly that no
other candidate but himself would suit
their IDEAS as to progressive leader.
Still such stand by the delegation
may not be made, There is a great
possibility contingency may occur
under which the delegation would
think necessity required it should
make a second choice.
AS one of the Republican leaders
who discussed the situation recently
with party Of friends in Madison
said, suppose it lies within the power
by its vote to secure the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt over some such
man as Senator Cummins of Iowa,
would the Wisconsin delegates as true
supporters of the progressive cause, be
warranted under those circumstances
in refusing their votes to Col. Roose-
welt and thus allowing the nomination
Of Cummins? Such question is more
than likely to face the delegation as
this LaFollette man Indicated, and if
1t does there are many who believe
that in such contingency Theodore
Roosevelt would obtain the nominal
lion with the aid Of the vote of Wis
consip. Another contingency which
may arise in the convention is an at
tempt by the Taft people to block the
nomination of Col, Roosevelt by
throwing their votes to some near pro-
gressive who it is considered is more
in harmony with the conservatives
than Col Roosevelt.
In this case, also, it is generally
considered at Madison that the Wiscon-
sin delegation would promptly swing
