President Taft VIII Be NOmi-
mated at Chicago.
PLEA FOR PARTY UNITY
Urges Republicans to Unite for
November Victory.
Gov. Stubbs Starts Ananias
Club of Own.

There never has been any question
about the denomination of President
Taft, but if there had existed any
doubt in the minds of Kansas Republi-
cans that doubt was swept away when
New York, Indiana and Colorado de-
clared for the pr resident. The strong
support given President Taft in Mis-
souri, Iowa and other middle west
states added TO the practically solid
support he Will have in the east and
south, ought to convince Kansas Re
publicans that his nomination is a set
tied fact"
This is the view National Commit
teeman d. w. Mulvane takes of the
situation.
president Taft win be renominat-
ed: that is settled" Mr.. MuIvane said
today. He will be our leader in the
great battle against the Democracy
next November. Under the banner OF
Republicanism with President Taft at
the head Of the ticket in Kansas. we
must make the fight. AS is always the
case, the head of the ticket leads.
Whatever we do now as Republicans
to oppose the nationwide Republican
sentiment that is apparent for the
presidents denomination, will only
tend to weaken the whole ticket in
the state and in every county thereof.
Il feel certain that Republicans who
VIII make up our state and county
tickets will realize that IL is not in the
to continue to fight against President
Taft whose denomination is conceded
even by the leaders of the movement
who are active for Colonel Roosevelt.
The Republicans of Kansas, in addi-
ton to the interest they feel in the
success of the national ticket. are
anxious about the election of the state
ticket in November. And in every
county the local Republican candidates
are concerned about their success and
are hoping that the rank and file OF
voters will consider Of more impor-
tance the success of the Republican
party in nation, state and county.

a few self-assumed leaders in the

END IS AT HAND
British Coal Strike Believed to
Be Near Collapse.
Miners Expected to Vote Ac-
ceptance of Wage Bill.

| London, March 2S.-The end of the
coal strike, which has so sorely affected
many millions of the population of the
! United Kingdom during e last four
weeks is believed to be at hand. No doubt
appears to exist in the minds of many
! people that the majority of the million
miners who left their work March 1 are
anxious to return to the pits and when
i the occasion offers will vote in favor of
! the proposal to resume. Most of them,
| it is believed would return to the pits
/ Immediately but in each district there
! is small section who oppose any ac-
| tion until the vote called for on the
| question of resumption of work or con-
tinuance of the strike has been cast and
| counted.
| It is these who are causing the
trouble which neceSSitated the dispatch
yesterday of troops to Chirk, in Wales
where work has been proceeding for
some days in the Bryn Kinalle collieries
and to Cannock, in the Midlands where
efforts were made last night to prevent
the men working. Other owners are
opening their mines today and men who
wish to start work will receive full
protection from the government. In the
great military camp at AIdershot, 10000
soldiers are held in readiness to move
at any moment to any point in the
country and at other military posts
similar arrangements have been made.
Destitution Is Great.
More urgent even than the neces-
sity of protecting the mines is the
duty facing the country of relieving
the destitution caused everywhere by
the strike. Millions are living in
state of semistarvation in various
parts of the country. The settlement
can come none too soon, for of the

The condition of things has brought
about a serious split in the ranks of
the labor party and has strained the re-
lations between the miners and other
trade unionists. 1t was only in 1909 that
the miners joined the labor party, they
having always maintained their own
representative in parliament and there
is now likelihood that they will again

events throughout the republic. accord
ing to state department reports from
the Mexican capital today.
The weakness of the federal forces IN
the south is recognized and the insur-

this fact. They are reported to be re-

federals following their recent engage
ment in Southern Chihuahua, retreated
to Torreon in a demoraliZed condition
and state department representatives
say the rebels are following them
closely.
The rebel successes have shaken the
confidence of some of the Washington
officials in the easy triumph of Madero

of the Madero government and the
grave question is beginning to assert
itself as to the correct attitude of the
United States in the turmoil and chaos
