DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.
President Taft has Big Lead-Elec-
tions Next Week viii Have
Weight

According to the New York Tribune,
144 delegates to the Republican nation.
al convention had been selected at the
close Of last week, 11S of whom were
instructed for Pres. Taft, IA for Col
Roosevelt, Q for Senator Cummins, and
10 uninstructed. The list by states is
as follows:
Taft-Alabama, 1S; District of Col.
umbia, q; Florida, IL; Georgia, %; In.
diana, A; Iowa, 6; Michigan, 2; Mis-.
souri,, 2; Oklahoma, 12; PHILIPPINES, 2;

ginia, 90.
Observation-Disclosures, 2; Oklahoma 10.
Cummins-Iowa, 2.
Uninstructed-New Mexico, 6; South
Carolina. 4,
One of the significant results of the
canvass so far is the showing made by
President Taft in Iowa, six of the eight
delegates elected, being for him despite
the fact that Senator Cummins of that
state is an avowed candidate. Mr..
Taft's supporters also claim that 44O
delegates elected to the state conven.
tion are for him as against 179 for, Cum.
minis and 42 for Roosevelt. Iowa has
been loudly proclaimed as strongly anti
Taft.

ventions and the Few York primaries
to be held next week will be watched
with considerable interest as the out

Petitions From Wage Farmers.

Right in line with the showing made
by the Republicans of the Ways and
Means Committee regarding the effect
of the assault by the Free. Trade Sugar
Tariff bill upon that industry it is a
matter of great interest to know what
the Free-Trade leaders in the Senate
will say when they are confronted by
the great mass of petitions received by
the Finance Committee directly from
organized labor, protesting against the
reductions in duties by the Iron and
Steel Tariff bill which recently passed
the House under Free Trade whip and
spur. The protests of thousands of
workingmen have been received by the
Finance Committee, and so apparent is
it that these protests are expressions of
the workingmen themselves that all
one has to do is to examine the petitions
to see how perfectly true this is Most
of these petitions came direct from the
lodges of organized labor and are writ
ten upon the official paper of those or
ganizations. Thousands of workers in

dred industries are denouncing the

w. e. Washburn Doing Good Work

William E. Washburn, state factory
inspector, arrived in Saginaw again
yesterday and will remain here for
several days accompanying Health
Officer Lavan to many places about the
city where conditions exists which
need remedying. MI. Washburn yes
terday afternoon paid a visit to the
county poor farm TO inspect the build
ing and take up the matter of fire
escapes. The state has submitted a
plan, but the county authorities be-
lieyed their own arrangement would
mean more exits and Mr.. Washburn is
t. act as an adjustor, and recommend
what he believes to be the best plan.
Beginning today he together with
Officer Levan will visit stores, business
establishments and other places through
out the city. Where bad conditions
are found notices will be served and
about ten days on an average will be
given to correct the trouble. If action
has not been taken by that time to fol-
low out the orders court proceedings
will at once be commenced.
Officer Levsn said yesterday that
this inspection will be largely along the
sanitary line, although Mr.. Washburn
will also look into the question of fire
escapes and safety. Conditions must
be improved" said Officer Levan, "and
with the state authority back Of In
spector Washburn the owners will be
obliged to carry out all orders. In

He was entering the city, In which

II could not help admiring his noble

why the Catholics make such progress
in China in comparison with that
made by the missionaries of other
sects, who usually live in the foreign
settlement, associated with many of
the comforts of their more sinful
brethren.

Mahaffy, the most brilliant scholar in

stricken Unionists.
Liberal Ranks More United.
At the same time there is a daily
growing and increasing unity and de-
termination in the Liberal ranks, es-
pecially in the house of commons,
where the splendid attendance of the
Liberals is shown by the immense
majorities running usually over 100.
The Liberals have set their teeth
to carry this job through and the fiery
speeches of thel Orangemen are ad-
dressed either to empty benches or are
received with jeering laughter and
when the Tories begin their filibus-
tering the Liberals calmly, dogged1y,
and patiently sit up till in the morn
ing and wear them. down.
The labor members also are acting
splendidly, attending as regularly as
the Irish, supporting the government
through thick and thin and acting in
perfect accord with the Irish party.
This shows that for the moment the
disastrous conflict between Liberalism
and labor is at an end.
Last Peril Near Solution.
The laborites, for instance, refused
to withdraw any labor legislation from
ireland, though the Tories held out
many bats to them to do so.
Another question which threatened
to divide the home rule ranks, espe.
cially if the laborites coalesced with
the Tories is now on the course OF
friendly settlement. Philip Snowden,
leading labor member and an elo.
quent Socialist, proposed to force wo'
man suffrage on Ireland, but the la
borites refused to act together and
left each member to vote as he
pleased.
OF course, the Irish party, though
decidedly for woman's suffrage, some
ardently supporting it, will vote sol
idly against a suggestion to take such
purely domestic question out of the
control of the Irish parliament.
The one remaining difficulty to the
government is the proposal with re
gard to the partis' control of customs
by the Irish parliament. Some strong
free trade Liberals are alarmed lest
this should mean the right of the
Irish parliament to establish protec
tive duties against England, but there
is no such intention on the part oi
either the government or the Irish
party.
