Taft Has Bell Wetllers of Indiana Delegate
Flock All Lined Up, but Voters Like I. r.
BY v. v. M'NITT.

Indianapolis. Feb. 26.-Indiana is an
other state where Roosevelt can count
upon most Of the republican voters and
Taft can depend upon a majority OF
the delegates.
The four delegates at large will be
Harry New, Fred Sims. former Vice
President Fairbanks, and one other,
all Taft men. The state convention
which will pick these delegates is yet
to be held, but nobody expects party
leaders to wait for a convention TO
perform such tasks.
The district delegates will be elected
at primaries, and of course, there will
be some for Taft and some for Roose-
welt. To have the four bell wethers of
the flock certainly means a lot to Taft
The big four will manage most OF the
conversation and will personally con
duct the voting at the Chicago CON
vention.
Harry New is national committee
man, and also has the craftsmanship
Job of managing the big convention.
Fred Sims is chairman of the state
central committee. Both are popular
and past master at the art Of campaign
managing. The tive constitute a host
for Taft and they're hustling right
now up TO the limit of their respective
abilities.
The Roosevelt campaign is in the
hands of Edwin s. Lee, state chair
man until few weeks ago. He raised
an awful fuss among the members of
the state committee not long since
when he issued a statement in Wash
ington TO the effect that Taft, in his
opinion, couldn't carry Indiana. He
might have been invited to resign as
state chairman because of this, but
his term was near an end anyway and
the Taftites decided to let him finish
! II.
Lee Is a Beveridge man. When the
Hon. Albert ]. was endeavoring to re-
turn himself to the senate two years
ago he was allowed to name his own
state committee and chairman. 1t is,
OF course, we'll known how Lee did not
succeed in putting Beverage over,
but he is not held entirely to blame
for that
While the president has the regular
state organization, he lacks the sup
port of federal offceholders in the
state. Most Of the latter owe their
jobs to Beverage and they are sitting
tight and keeping mum. Beveridge
is counted a Roosevelt man, although
he hasn't had anything to say yet II
may readily be seen how discreet it is
for the Beveridge cohorts to wait and
watch If Mr.. Beverage is 10 become
a real senator again. he must need!
be in position TO stay with his party
this year, whichever way it turns.

posted. that the men in the old pool

the word of the participants in the
Gary dinners is ample security for the
professions of cooperation in the policy
almost unanimously subscribed to at
the dinners.

/ Stress is laid in the financial section
of the report upon the demonstration
by figures that the steel corporation re-
strains competition by making the
greater portion of its profits in raw ma
terials and in plants producing semi
I finished materials, while the finished
product plants make very low profits

During the nine years from Jan. J.
1902. to Dec. 81. 1870" the report says
"the productions of the corporation in
rolled and other finished steel amount
ed to 79.267 1868 tons. and the adjusted
net earnings for the same period
mounted to 81, O2s, 6S5, 3S9. or an equiv

of the steel corporation to make the
bulk of its profits in the raw and semi

PEHCENTAGES DECEINING.
Relating to restraint of trade, there
are IA conclusions in the report, one of
which deals with percentages of bust
ness done by the corporation, and in
which the ore and other holdings are
discussed.
Percentages Of the business done by
the United States Steel corporation, -
the report says, ''are deceiving and
misleading unless segregated with ref.
erence to particular products. For ex.
ample, Mr.. Roosevelt refers to an es.
innate that the United States Steel
corporation did rot have above 60 per
cent of steel properties or steel hold
ings, and when he was asked if Gary
and Prick tat the time of the purchase
of the Tennessee Coal & Iron com
pany) said anything about the ore
K properties that they were buying al
I that time, he answered, They did moi
go into details at ALL and he also stat
ed that he understood they were coins
TO buy the Tennessee company's plant.
IF this estimate Of 60 per cent re
fers to property and investment in the
steel business, it may be noted, in tina
year (1907) that the total property o
the Bethlehem, Cambria, Colorado
Lackawanna, Pennsylvania, and Ten
nessee companies added to the capita
stock of Jones & Laughlin (becaus,
statement OF property is not available)
amounted to 1865, 76S $50, these com
panies being the only important con
Germs in the steel business In tn
United States, outside of the Unitet
States Steel corporation. This amour
added to that of the United State
Steel corporation equals a grand tota
of $1,s11 SOC. 339. OF which the propert,
account Of the United States Steel COZ
poration amounts to $1,445, S37, 45O, O

JOHN CRAIG DIES IN BEM1DJ1
Grand Rapids Lumberman Yields to
Disease Of Years Standing.

John Craig, 81 years old, for nine
years prominent resident of Grand
Rapids, Mimi, and during that time
the general manager of the Itasca
Lumber company's camps of that
city, died at st. Anthony's hospital
here at 5 p. m. yesterday. Mr.. Craig
has been suffering from diseased
bones of the ear most Of his life, but
he had not suffered seriously from
this trouble until the last five
months. His condition became SO
serious several weeks ago that he was
brought to Bemidji and two opera
lions were found necessary. From the
first operation, little hope has been
entertained for his recovery. although
he was thought to be improving at
times. During the past few days he
sank slowly. The body was taken to
Grand Rapids today for burial, and
the funeral will be held there from
the Catholic church there Monday at
2 p. m. Mr.. Craig is survived by a
widow, and five children, the oldest
son being II years old, and the
youngest a girl of five. Several per-
sons from Bemidji and other towns
will attend the funeral.
