THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
IS LIKELY To Be MEMORABLE
"0oings" Will Start With the
Selection of Temporary
Chairman.

ly 240 contests all told, and every one
contains its own particular variety of
trouble. There are contests from near
ly every southern state and from sew
eral northern ones The average north
ern man has an idea that there are
not enough Republicans in the south
to start q contest, but this is a mis-
take. 1t seems that the fewer Repub-
leans there are in a given section the
more contests are started. In Lou
isiana, where the party recently lost
It's place on the official ballot, 30 small
was its vote, there are three sets of
delegates, each seeking admission to
the national convention.
The national committee makes up
only the temporary roll. The conven-
ton then takes its turn at the con-
tests, which it does through Its ere.
dentials committee, consisting of one
member from each state. Ordinarily
this second review is largely a matter
Of form, the credentials committee
simply approving the action already
taken by the national committee. In
the present instance, however, all
precedents may be sent to the scrap
heap, as the credentials committee will
certainly be asked to reverse the find
ings Of the national committee, which
are generally in favor of the Taft del
fought out on the floor of the conven-
ton. There is TO be nothing cut and
dried this year. Every little moment
Is to have an excitement of its own.
The contests out of the way, the
wounded will be removed from the
battlefield, after which the committee
on permanent organization will have
the floor. The Taft nen have decided,
or so it is said, that the proper thing
TO do is TO make the temporary organ
lZation permanent. II they succeed
in this plan Senator Root will sound
two keynotes instead of one and will
WELD the gavel throughout the conven-
tiOn. Again tie Roosevelt men will
not agree. This time they are liable
to declare that the New York senator
is the Root OF all evil and to attempt
to eradicate him root and branch But
that will be about enough of that
Pointing With Pride.
Then will come the struggle over the
platform, and this again viii depend
on the complexion of the convention.
If the Taft men control they will point
with pride to the present administra-
ton, and If the Roosevelt cohorts are
in the saddle they will point with pride
to the last one The constitution and
the rule Of the people will also have
their innings, the trusts will get theirs,
and the tariff-well, the tariff is always
good for plank or two In any kind OF
political platform. The tariff has
been the most planked subject that

PRICE OF COTTON

Little Rock, Ark, June lO.-
George D. Wadley of Boiling
Brake, Ca, president of the South
ern States Cotton Corporation, cap.
italized at $1,000, 900, arrived in

to be paid by draft and interest
bearing certificates issued for the
remaining 4 cents. The cents
withheld will create a sinking fund
for the purchase of surplus cotton.

HOUSE CLEANING IN PORTLAND

It commences to look like the police department in Portland and the very head Of the city government are in need of a good cleanign out. for there are strong indications of something rotten in Denmark In their vicinity The grand jury is going to see what can be done by getting at the root of the evil and we are inclined to believe they will succeed.
 Seattle a year or two ago had to get in and do some tall house clean ing in connection with it's police de- partment. and this resulted in the chief of police being sent to walla warla. as a steady boarder of the state. 10 repent and think over the error Of his way of carrying on the affairs of a city while holding such an important office.
