TAFT MIST STICk.

VATASHINGTON reports say that the support
w ers of President Taft for denomination arc
not dismaycd by the gossip about Colonel Roose-
welt They declare that the surface indications
Of national convention that will renomnate the
President on the first ballot and adopt platform
TO be dictated by him are correct. At any rate,
the President has no intention of Withdrawing
and he is now reported as saying that he is in the
race TO the finish.
The other day the rumor mongers said that Taft
would withdraw if Roosevelt should be a candi-
date.
The President certainly will not place himself
in so humiliating position-that of being man
ready TO jump one way or the other at the behest
Of Colonel Roosevelt
If the Colonel is really to become candidate it
would be better for him TO announce himself as
LaFoette has done. Colonel Roosevelt with all
his popularity might find that thousands of men
who are disposed Loyalty to support him, if he
should announce his candidacy, would bak at his
nomination if secured by fighting the President
from ambush.

CONSTRUCTED so that the farmers cannot use them

Sthc luxury of speedways, but few other states
could and the message of the Governor may re-
suit in different methods being employed in the
road building.
The New York Governor urges the more rapid
aboishing of the grade crossing. This matter is
cauSing much comment in most states, especially
those in which there cities through which rail-
ways run at grade. The danger of such crossings
need not be commented upon. II is self evident.

WILLIAMS TO MANAGE TEAM.
Ames Athletic Coach to Take Charge
of Humboldt Ball Players.

Fort Dodge. Feb. 2S.-Clyde Williams,
head of the athletic department Of Iowa
State College, Ames, will manage the
semi pro club at Humboldt this season,
say Humboldt men VINO visit here.
The Humboldt aggregation is to pay
Williams s175 a month for his services
during the summer.
Williams without a doubt will be
one of the best in the middle west.
Fort Dodge knows him well as a clean.
fast player himself and as a gentleman.
He PLAYED third base for MarshalltoWn
in the old Iowa league. He has man
aged the athletics at Anes for several
wears. His work in college circles has
won so much attention that he has
been placed on the national football
rules committee.
Humboldt men who have been here
recently say Humboldt is out to win
the semi-pro championship of the state
this season. They declare they al
ready have raised $1,000, mainly in s75
subscriptions, and that the club Hum
boldt supports this year will beat any
thing the town ever has had before.
They declare that Collins will have to
put out fine team in order to defeat
the aggregation from eighteen miles
north of us.
iii speaking aho-. the subscriptions
! raised in Humboldt one man was
asked how much Gotch subscribed out
of the $1,000. "Oh, Gotch,' said the
Hun,boldter with little sniff. He
played tightwad this year and came
across with only 500"
