DIEKEMA NOW
Is ALL SMILES
TAFT STATE CHAIRMAN Elk
PRESSES SATISFACTION AT
THE SITUATION IN
MICHIGAN.

Grand Rapids March 3O.-"wayne
county will be absolutely solid for Taft,
declared q. j. Diekema last night or
his return from Detroit where he had
spent the last two days.
$50 satisfactory is the situation thot
will not go to Detroit again until
after the state convention. The Roose-
velts had it all their own way for a
couple of weeks but when ex-senator
John ID. NJ, Maackay took hold of al
fairs for us and began organizing the
Taft forces, it was all over
I'm just as sure rs can be of any
thing that Wayne county will send
q solid delegation of 1872 to the state
convention and that the First district
will elect two Taft delegates"
Mr.. Diekcma was greeted on his ar
rival here with the news that the
Taft forces had been victorious in
Oceana. Antrim. Macllinac and Mon
roe.
Good" he laughed. 1T looks as
though II is all over. doesn't it?"
II was pointed out to Mr.. Dickema
that i'm Roosevelt's Chicago speech
Michigan was the only state In which
the colonel did not charge fraud. The
ex-congressman of the Fifth became
serious.
I'm indeed sorry that Mr.. Roosc-
Welt has assumed his present stand"
he said ut is sorry spectacle to see
a man who has accomplished so much
for the nation; who has been so sign
ally honored by the people and who
had won deserved niche in history,
TO so far forget himself as to make the
rash statements which have character
lied his latest utterances.
IF we are to believe the Roosevelt
people the whole nation has become
corrupt almost over night. When the
Roosevelt forces are defeated IN "a
convention they cry fraud. When they
are beaten in a primary there was
either fraud or mistake occurred. TO
any person with half an eye, it would
appear clearly that the real facts are
that the people love a square deal and
believe that President Taft is entitled
TO a second term and therein Hes the
secret of the whole situation"

Oxford Wins the Toss.
The toss of position was won by OK
ford which chose the Surrey side. Ex-
actly at n:4S a pistol shot was fired
for the start. Both crews were soon in
difficulties, owing to rough water
created by strong headwinds. Their
progress was slow and both shells soon

The shutting down of the mines,
the union officials say will cause n
loss in the coal production of the
country of 7.OS3,000 tons of anthracite
a month and will entail n loss in pay
to the miners of not less than $Sj0,OOO
for every day they remain out
Statement Of Miners.
As sustaining their demands for in
creased pay the anthracite union gave
out this statement:
Our desire for a twenty per cent
increase in pay will not seem unrea-
sonabe when il Is learned that most
of the 10, 600 anthracite miners work
only about two-t thirds of the time. The
average working time for each man
last year was 240 days and the aver
age salary earned by each man for
the year was about $500. or less than
$40 week. our men take greater
risks than they do i'm other countries.
The total number of men killed in
mines for the last ten years was 24,O3'.
The yearly record of deaths i'm mines
is now about 1900. In the United
States the death rate for 1000 men Is
2.91. as compared with i.4S in Great
Britain and Is more than double that
