CAMPAIGN MANAGERS
DRAWING THEIR LINES
Different Presidential Candidates
Fairly Launched In Contest
For The Nomination.
BOTH PARTIES ARE BUSY
ONES RESULT DOUBTFUL
Opinion Leans Toward Tafts
Nomination, But Democratic
Nominee Is Extremely
Doubtful.

Washington, D. g., March THE
managers of the different candidates
for the presidential nomination In
both parties, are drawing their lines
closely for the campaign that has now
been fairly launched. While the
friends OF President Taft had ex-
pected Colonel Roosevelt to become a
candidate they were shocked never
theless when the former president
"threw his hat into the ring" and
announced so vigorously that he
would accept the nomination. The
result has been the Tightening of the
Taft forces with view TO making a
determined fight for the nomination.
1t cannot be said that Colonel ROose-
velt's speech in Columbus and his
subsequent utterances 10 Boston have
strengthened him any with the re.
publican insurgents. Many OF the
men ia congress who were friendly
disposed to Colonel Roosevelt's candi-
dacy, do not hesitate now to say they
cannot support man whose views
are so extreme. Among the politi-
clans, both republican and demo-
cratic, here 10 Washington, the views
expressed are generally that Taft will
be renominated.
WILSON'S CLAIMS.
On the other side the chances OF the
nomination Of Speaker Clark are
looming brighter and brighter. Many
democratic members Of congress are
now assuring the speaker that he will
have their supportin the campaign
for the nomination. For several
months the managers OF Professor
Wilson's campaign have been making
extravagant claims as to the strength
OF their candidate in all sections OF
the country. They asserted that the
entire west would be for Wilson, and
that he would be particularly strong
in the northwest. Yet information
comes to the speakers managers that
the forty-six instructed delegates he
already has from Missouri and Okla
homa will be added to by the action
of the state conventions and primaries
10 Kansas, Wisconsin, California,
Iowa and Illinois.
CLARK'S STRENGTH.
1t is practically certain that Kan
sas will instruct solid delegation for
Speaker Clark. Even the friends Of
Professor Wilson concede this. Wis
cOnsn is almost sure TO go for the
speaker and the reports from Califor-
MIA are that the coast states twenty
six delegates will be in the Clark col
umn The claims OF the Wilson PEG.
pie, that the former Princeton presi- |
dent would have an easy thing in the
South, are now being disputed by the
views expressed by leading democrats
10 the Southern states. Representa-
tive Adamson OF Georgia. who is
chairman of one OF the most import
ant committees OF the house, has |
come out strongly for the nomination |
of Mr.. Clark. Georgia was one Of the |
states 10 which the Wilson people |
upon no opposition. From |
the New England states comes also |
reports that the speaker |
is rapidly gaining strength. Repre- |
sentative McGillcuddy, the acknowl-
edge democratic leader OF Maine. de-
clared that If Clark is nominated he
will carry that state.

THE CHIEF FORESTER.

Washington, d. c.. April 1.-THE
first session of the forestry conference
held in connection with the Nashville
meeting of the Southern Commercial
Congress was opened on the afternoon
Of April S. The presiding officer was
Henry S. Graves, Chief Forester of
the L. S. Department Of Agriculture.
In opening the conference Mr.. Graves
spoke as follows.
In any consideration of the indus
trial development OF the South the
problems which stand ont as most i'm
portant are those connected with ag-
riculture and forestry. The south is
favored with climate and soil espe-
cially advantageous both for agricul-
ture and for the pre- .>t.,r G. l6rasts.

TYPHOID FEVER A
PREVENTABLE DISEASE

1t is rather startling to be told that
in 1909 there were more cases of ty-
phoid in the United States, with a
population not half as that of India,
than there were cases of plague in
India; and that there were four times
as many cases of typhoid in the Uni
ted States as cases of cholera in Rus
epidemic of 1910. These figures are
taken from an article by Mclaughlin
Of the Marine-Hospital Service, who
says that we consider with apprehen
sion the countries in which cholera
and plague occur frequently and call
them pest-ridden countries, but do
not consider the problem of typhoid
fever in our own country with suffi-
cient seriousness. He gives tables to
show that within the registration area

above referred to, in which the death
rate was 25 per hundred thousand of
population Leaving out of account
such causes of typhoid as infected
food and milk, contact, carriers, etc,
Mclaughlin believes that this death
rate can be very materially reduced
by flltering the water-supplies of ur
cities, which are to largely contami-
mated by sewerage. Not only is this
high death-rate from typhoid fever to
be deplored on humanitarian grounds,
but the occurrence of such a large
number of cases represents an eco
nomic loss so great as to be almost in
calculable. Our legislators and city
authorities should feel the obligation
to adopt more vigorous methods of
preventing this enormous waste of
human energy, earning capacity and
human life.-American Medical Jour
