WASHINGTON. July 28.-A state ment approved by President Taft, defending his nomination by the Chi cago convention, was made public at the White House today. It re- views every contest before the re- publican national committee and the credentials committee of the cOnVen- tion, and asserts that each was lOgi- cally settled upon it's merits. The statement was submitted to the cabi- net at a recent meeting and received the approval of the presidents off ciaI family.
 The statement which is lengthy document of IA printed pages, is a detailed denial of the charge that the nomination of President Taft was accomplished by the seating of fraudulently elected delegates to the convention It takes up individually the 23S contests instituted by the Roosevelt forces against Taft dele gates who were seated and presents evidence in each of these cases to show that the Taft delegates were regularly elected.
 CASE BY CASE.
 A resume of the statement pre- pared by Charles D. Hilles, formerly MT Taft's secretary now chairman of the republican national committee, takes up each case briefly. This resume opens with the declaration that the Roosevelt contests. as orig inally filed before the national com mittee, were not instituted in good faith
 The total number of delegates summoned to the convention,' says the resume, was 107S, with $40 nee essary to a choice MT. Taft had 561 votes on the first and only bal lot. and was declared the nominee. There were instituted against 238 delegates. regularly elected for MT. Taft. contests in behalf of Roosevelt These contests were avoWedly insti- tuted not for the purpose of really securing seats in the convention not for the purpose of adducing evidence which would lead any respectable court to entertain the contests, but for the purpose of deceiving the public into the belief that Roosevelt had more votes than he really had, as conventions and primaries were then in progress for the selection of delegates.
 ABANDONED CONTESTS.
 The 238 contests were reduced by abandonment. formal or in substance to seventy four. The very fact of these 1884 frivolous contests itself re- fleets upon the genuineness and val idity of the remainder"
 The resume then enumerates the contests and reviews the arguments

NAMES OF BEER.
Brews May be Named After Places
 Where They Are Made.

LEIPSIG, Germany, July 2S.-The imperial supreme court here has de- cided that it is lawful to use the names of places in the trade names of beers to designate the character or type as well as the place of man. ufacture.
 The decision grew out of a suit brought by the Pilsener Brarereien against the Deutsche Bierbrauerei- Sktein- Gesselschaft of Radeberg, Saxony, to restrain the latter from selling a certain brand of beer un- der the designation of "Radeberger PilSener"

in each case. The review of the evil dence in the contests embraced in the White House statement is certi- fled to by Victor Rosewater chair man of the national committee, and Thomas H. Devine, chairman of the credentials committee
 THE ARIZONA CASE.
 A resume of the contests for dele gates at large and district delegates by states includes the following In the Arizona convention there were ninety-three votes. All delegates (six in number) were to be selected at large The counties were en- titled to select their delegates through their county committees or by a primary. In one county. Mari copa. a majority of the committee decided to select it's delegates and a minority to have primary. In other counties there were some contests and the state committee, following the usage of the national committee. gave a hearing to all contestants in order to make up temporary roll.
 There was a clear majority of Taft delegates among the uncon- tested delegates. The committee made up the temporary roll. then there was bolt 64 delegates re- mainng in the hall and twenty five withdrawing therefrom In this case the Taft majority was so clear that it is difficult to understand why the contest was made.
 DETAILED INFORMATION.
 In an apprendix the statement car ried in detail the vote in the na- tiOnal committee on each contest, and a statement of the dates of the Taft and Roosevelt conventions in the contested states The object of the latter is to show that the Roose- welt delegates were chosen after the regular conventions had named Taft representatives.
 In another appendix if the report of the credentials committee to the convention, in which the statement men attacking the majority of the committee is answered
 In discussing the charge the re- port said:
 "The statement as a whole in it's insinuations of a combination of un- worthy motives and a recital of al legged facts. is grossly and malicious ly untrue. It is intended to convey the impression that the time fol hearing the cases was so limited as to prevent their being properly pre- sented to the committee. The un- truthfulness of this statement is clearly shown by the records an6 newspaper reports of the delibera- [ tions."

is not too much to assume that he
will be placed at the head of that de-
partment to play at conservation as
he sees fit. How would the people of
Idaho like to have a man like Clifford
Pinchot at the head of the department
of government in which they are
most vitality interested? Pinchot has
less respect for the law than did Car
field, in that respect he is the equal
of Col. Roosevelt himself. Men like
Roosevelt and Pinchot would take the
reelection of the former as a COM
plete Endorsement of their administra-

ing in the future. Conserved-to-a-fn-

Bryan Coming to Idaho.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan will
be in Boise Wednesday. February %
for the purpose of meeting the Demo-
Gratis of Idaho. He will undoubtedly
discuss politics fore and aft while he
is with us. We read in the Capital
News that committee consisting of
Hon. Joseph T. Pence, Hon. Frank
B. Kinyon and Hon. John Reagan has
been appointed to entertain Mr.. Bry-
an while he is at Boise. There seems
to be a painful vacancy in that COM
mittee. Idaho now has a Democratic
governor, but he is not member. The
party has state chairman, but he is
not member. In fact, official Demo-
cracy seems to have no place or part
in the Bryan reception. OF late years
MI. Bryan has become something of a
harmonizer, but he has not had prac-
tice enough to handle the situation
in this state. The four leading Demo-
Gratis of Idaho. we should say, are ex-
Senator Fred T. Dubois, Governor
James H. Hawley. Judge X. I. Perky
and Chairman John F. Nugent. Elk
Senator Dubois is back at Washington
managing the presidential campaign of
Champ Clark. Governor Hawley says
that Harmon is the one man to lead
the forlorn hope. Nugent says that
Harmon is the minion of the Inter
ests" and would not be tolerated in
good Democratic society. Judge Per-
ky sees no hope except through Wood
row Wilson. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that the committee is in favor of
Bryan himself.
1t is the judgment of The Tribune
that the committee are the best guess
ers. When the Baltimore convention
finally gets down to brass tacks you
will find the Peerless One the only
one upon whom the contending fac
tons can unite. 1t should be remem-
bered that Bryan has never said that
he will not be a candidate. He has
not gone as far as Roosevelt by
long way. Some months ago he made
a statement to the effect that at that
time he could see no reason why he
should ever again be candidate for
the nomination. The look of things
to Mr.. Bryan may have undergone a
wonderful change during the past six
months. 1t may be now that he can
see several reasons why he should be
the nominee of his party.
If Col. Roosevelt should be NOM
mated by the Republicans most any
Democrat could be elected. Mr.. Bry-
an undoubtedly realizes that fact. He
still wants to be president and thinks
this is his last chance. The Republi-
cans may possibly nominate Roose-
welt. We shall patiently await Bryan's
further announcement of his position.
If he decids to seek the nomination
it will be convincing to our mind that
Mr.. Bryan thinks that Roosevelt will
be the nominee of his party

There can be no question but what the Panama canal is the source of active discussion in shipping circles abroad and while no official information is yet available there is excellent reason to believe that MT. Ismay will during his visit make a close study of the new conditions as they would naturally be affected when traffic on the Panama route becomes available.
 The fact that two of the American built Red Star boats have been trans ferred back to the American register suggests a plan of competition with the transcontinental railroads for Pacific coast business. As usual, President Is- may yesterday stated that this visit was merely regular semi-annhal inspection trip. This is virtually the only announce ment he ever makes when he comes to this country.

It is not thought that the Mercantile Marine company con- templates in any way abandoning New York in it's Pacific service. should it fi- nally decide to establish one, New York would naturally be a port of call. as 1t would not be very far off the direct line from British ports, and any Pacific ser vice could readily be made supplement- ary to the other New York ServlceS or the combination lines.

Montgomery Market

Montgomery, February 12.--lSpeciaI) )- No new vegetables were to be had on the market early today. Vegetables are to be had in good abundance with the exception of spinach. which was unusu- ally scarce this morning.
 Eggs are still high, selling at 35 cents per dozen retail. though dealers hold out the assurance that the market will soon have an ample supply, and that the prices will go back to normal.
 It is believed among market men tha { a few days of warm weather is all that is needed in order to secure a good sup ply of eggs. New potatoes, string beans. squash and other new vegetables are all promised in abundance by the middle of the week.
 The greatest need at present, however. is for spnich and no supply is yet in sight Market men declare they see no early relief in sight in reference to tils' much needed vegetable.
 Lettuce is still scarce, and of an in- ferior quality. on the whole, the gen eral run of vegetables is high, with lit tie relief in sight.
