hesitates so to do, | shall Immediately
write him and urge him with all the
emphasis and insistence in my power
to take the course indicated and sup
port Mr.. Taft in the convention.
In this fight | am standing for GER
tain great principles which | regard
as vital to the present and future well
fare of this nation. My success is Of
value only as an incident to securing
the triumph of these principles. Fore
most amongst these principles is the
right OF the people to rule and the
duty of their representatives really
to represent them, in nominating con-
ventions no less than in executive or
legislative offices. II the majority of
the rank and file of the Republican
party do not wish me nominated, then
most certainly | do not wish to be
nominated.
My aim has been to get the genuine
expression of their genuine desire. pre-
cisely as If nominated, should desire to
get at the polls the genuine expression
of the majority of the whole people; be-
cause my purpose in being elected Pres
Ident would be to put into effect certain
principles and policies in which j ardent
ly believe and which l could not possibly
put into effect unless | had behind me
the hearty support of the majority of our
citizens"

as a Taft delegate large is con-
cerned.
Mr.. Sieberlich contended that he was
not used well by the Taft managers and
he therefore had his name entered on
the ballot as an independent pledged %
Taft. The name was placed above and
close to the slate of eight delegates
large also pledged to President Taft, Sc
that many voters following down the col
umn included his name of Sieberlieh with
the remainder pledged to Taft. thus
marking nine names and, it is claimed
inyalidating the ballot.
Hundreds of ballots were thrown out in
cities and town all over the state, the
number running as high as 800 and 400, IT
is claimed, in cities like New Bedford,
Gloucester and Lynn. In fact so great
was the loss to the Taft ballot that it
is claimed by the Taft managers that
the President would have won the entire
list of eight delegates-at-large had the
full vote been counted, besides securing
delegates in some of the more closely
contested districts.
lnasmueh as the delegates names were
marked separately and the intent of the
voter to select a Taft's delegate was
shown, it is claimed by the Taft fol-
lowers that the ballots so marked should
be counted with the omission of the
ninth name on the list receiving the
smallest vote, in accordance with the
law. which provides that the intent of
the voter" shall be considered in judging
the validity of ballots.

Col. Roosevelt received a large num-

RED to E. Milton Kaylor. Jr.. Young

Mrs. Kaylor is daughter of Mrs.

DAILY PAPERS
STATISTICS FOR PAST YEAR
SHOW THEY ARE DIMINISH
ING IN NUMBER.

PHIL ADELPHIA, Jan. 31.--News-
paper census figures for 1911, COM
piled by the American Newspaper
.nnual and directory, published here
Today, indicate that multiplication of
daily newspapers in the United
States has come to halt. A year
ago the number was 2,472; the 1912
annual lists thirteen less, sowing that
the trend is now in the downward d.
iection. According to this authority,
greater mortality than birthrate is
explained by suspension or consollda-
ton of newspapers in crowded O.. I'M
productive fields. New England has
lost four dailles, New York four, Mid
die West states nine, and the western
states have thirteen less than a year
ago. Gains have been heaviest in
the southern states, while the middle
Atlantic has an increase of three.
Weekly and semi-weekly papers
llso seem to have reached their linn
it in numbers. The 1912 annual
names and describes 1929 weeklies,
forty less than in 1911, and COS semi
Weeklies, as compared with GIT in
1911.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 31.-Show no

measure for the suspension of the

a few days ago. This policy yet pre-

tempered by an official decree offer

This offer applies to all but Zapata

NUMBER OF GAMES
OF BASKET RAlL ARE
NOW IN PROSPECT
OLD TIME RIVALS TO MEET
HERE NEXT
MONTH.
VANDERBILT RESERVES Are FIRST
sranham G. Hughes to Come on Feb
rua"y is, and Maury Motor Garage
viii Be Seated and Heated for Ac-
commodation of Spectators.

There is in prospect much pleasure
for the lovers of basket ball, already
the c. M. A, team has a game for
three successive weeks.
There was no game last week on
account of the Board of Trade ban
luet on Friday night, and the ban
quet to the members of the c. nj. A.
football team on Saturday night, both
OF which were given at the Bethel
House.
The first game scheduled is with
the Vanderbilt Reserves on Saturday
night, February 3. The game with
the reserves last year was a closely
fought one, the G. M. A. boys winning
out bv the narrow margin of 33 to 32,
and there is every reason to hope
mat the locals will come out on the
right side again.
The next will be with Battle
Ground Academy, which is to take
pace on the night of February 10.
The game with this team is certainly
hoped will be more satisfactory, as
the locals were ingloriously defeated
at the last contest. The crack ath-
letes with that team last year, are
not in schoo. this year, and the G.
NJ A boys will be more evenly
matched, and the result will be look
ed for with a great deal OF inter est
and expectancy.
The other game that is scheduled
will take place on the afternoon OF
February 16 and is to be with Pran-
ham & Hughes. 1t is expected that
this contest will bring out a much
larger crowd than either Of the 9TH
ers, and arrangements have teen
made to seat the garage of the Maui
ry Motor Company and it is to be
heated properly for comfort In order
that the increased number of specta-
tors may be accommodated. This is
the first game of basket ball with
these old rivals and there has been
no measuring of strength with out
side teams that would give a line of
dope On what may be expected. The
Crescent Athletic team defeated
them, but this is made up of semi
professionals, and handle school
teams just about as they see fit.
There is growing interest in has
ket ball in the city, and the admirers
Of the sport are increasing with each
game
