three great issues It has been necessary
for President Taft to consider and
frame a definite policy. und 1t Is his

that has convinced the business men.

the country that another term in the
White House for William III. Taft Is
all that Is necessary to restore the
country on that basis Of unparalleled
prosperity which characterized the ad-
ministration of William Mckinley. 1t
is this sentiment which not only as
sures the denomination Of Mr.. Taft at
Chicago, but also his reelection in No
vember.
So many bewilderlng side Issues
have become involved In the present
campaign for delegates to the Chicago
convention that the facts above stated
have been overlooked In certain COM

His Vote al Chicago.

Sentiment Growing In Zig Republican

Party Who Can Be Elected This

istraticn's Policies.
President William II. Taft is on a
fair road to denomination as the Re
publican standard bearer In the cam
paign of 1912. With approximately
100 delegates to the Chicago conven'
ton already instructed for him. the
president Is more than likely to break
his record Of 1908. when he was n0Ti
mated with 702 votes on the first bal.
lot in the Chicago convention of that
year. There is 20 longer any question
that he will be renomlnated, and the
only question now puzzling the mana
gers of the Taft campaign is the com
pleteness Of his victory.
Coupled with the assurance Of his
denomination is the growing sentiment
in the big Republican states both east
and west that President Taft Is the
only Republican candidate who can
possibly be elected this fall. 1t viii
Oe recalled readily enough that whei
Mr.. Taft took Office three years ago

with the alternative of change In
administration. a change In policies
and continuation of business depres-
sion and general unrest.
In estimating the probabilities of
President Taft's denomination and re-
election II is necessary to recur only
to recent history. The president car
ried every northern state In 1908. Be
tween the election of that year and
1910 occurred the tariff legislation
known as the Payne tariff law. 1t is
well known maxim Of politics that
that party which revises the tariff Is
defeated at the next election. and the
only exception to the rule I'm recent
years was the passage Of the Dingley
law. which was followed so closely by
the outbreak OF the Spanish -American
war as To bury the tariff issue in
wave of patriotic enthusiasm. The
more recent by-elections in the big Re-
publican states east Of the Mississippi
river, notably in New York. New Jer-
sey and PENNSYLVANIA. have shown O
return of Republicans to the fold and
a restoration of the old time Republic.

diction that they will be safely in the
Taft column in November. That they
will so unanimously support any other
Republican candidate. particularly II
the third term issue is injected into
the fight. is denied by the best in
formed leaders in those states.
AS to the nomination there is no
longer any doubt but that President
Taft will have majority of the dele
gates both from the north and the
south New England will be practical
ly If not entirely solid for him. He
will have sweeping victories in New
York. Pennsylvania and the other mid
die Atlantic states. Ohio has never
yet failed to support favorite son

vote for Republican candidate for
president. Indiana. Illinois. Iowa. Mis-
souri,. Minnesota. Kansas. Nebraska.

WILL OPERATE
BROWNSVILLE CANAL
RECEIVER AND WATER USERS
EFFECT AGREEMENT
Mr., Brooks finds Property in Much
Better Shape than Anticipated and
Believes Property Can be Made
Paying Proposition Ultimately,

A meeting of the water users was
held with the receiver Of the Browns,
vile Irrigation Co. on Saturday morn,
ing the 25tA inst, to consider tAs
situation OF the canal under the re
eeiveFShip,
The receiver, G, i, Brook, tr.,
stated that he was down here for
the purpose of looking over the prop
crty and advising the court what had
best Be done in the premises. lie
said that nc had determined that the
proper thing to do was to go on
pumping water and continue the
plant in operation, but that, to do
this, money was necessary, and the
only cash Immediately available was
that which the water users had de-
posted with trustee, and he asked
that this money be turned over to
him as receiver.
The water users committee desir-
ed to know the position of the re-
ceiver and his power under the court
orders taken. Mr.. Brooks stated that
the order of the court was for him
10 take over all the assets of the COM
pany and that he had not as yet OBJ
tanned an order to operate, but, as
the operation was vital to both the
company and its creditors, he would
take upon himself the responsibility
Of continuing operation, if the water
users would turn over their funds to
allow of its being done. adding that,
as soon as he returned to Houston,
he would get an order from the court
authorizing him TO operate the plant.
The water users committee then
suggested that an agreement be
drawn under which they were to
turn over the balance of their funds
to the receiver for immediate use,
with the proviso that in the event of
the court not making an order to
operate the canal, the unused rorton
of the money SO turned over was to
be refunded to the trustee. This
being agreeable to the receiver and
his attorneys. the arrangement was
ering it executed.
The receiver thinks the property is
Iiicipated, and believes that the cor
poration can be ultimately reor2an-
lied and placed upon it's feet as a
paying proposition.
