President TAFT and the Catholics

Coon Rapids Enterprise: Speaker
Clarke is believed to want Judge Wade
OF Iowa to manage his campaign in
the event he is nominated for Presi-
dent. Judge Wade is Catholic and
Speaker Clarke feels that with Wade
as chairman he could do much to win
Catholic votes away from Taft. Taft
is Unitarian and the Catholic and
Unitarian churches have never had
any clashes running over period OF
centuries. While the Unitarians are
protestants, being very liberal in their
views they have always cheerfully ac-
corded the Catholic church the right
to think as it thought right and best
and have never in any way opposed
the progress of their church. When
Charming, the great Unitarian minis
ter In this country died, the Catholic
people paid him at his death, in SER
mons and otherwise the highest COM
pliments as Humanitarian and scholar
and patriotic citizen. For these reasons
the Unitarians have no prejudice
against the Catholic church and the
Catholic no ill-will toward Unitarians.
Taft would therefore receive a good
Catholic church vote. But the Catholic
people do not seem to have religious

SAVING AT NIAGARA FAI 5.

According to figures given out BY

Falls. n. Y, s19.o00,00O- cost OF
almost 100000 tons OF coal--has been
saved during the last year by convert,
ing part of the excess flow OF Niagara
Falls into electricity for power and
lighting purposes. In exact figures. the
coal conserved annually amounts 10
|e.IlO.4oo tons, valued at s1S,959,0s0.
AS is generally known. Canada and
the United States, after exhaustive
scientific experiments to determine
how much of the Niagara Falls flow
might be utilized for power purposes
without endangering the scenic gran
deur of the spectacle entered into a
treaty limiting this country to the use
of only 10000 and Canada to the use
of $4,000 of the 100000 cubic feet that
run over the Falls every second.
Up to now the United States has
used only 1860 of the 10000 cubic
feet which the treaty permits, That is,
both together use As per cens OF the
total quantity made available by the
treaty.
Once the United States chooses to
utilize its full share under the treaty,
and to permit the Importation OF pow
er generated in Canada, the coal an
nually conserved will amount to H.

MORE TAFT RESULTS.

Last Saturday was another good
day for President Taft in the presi-
Dental primaries held In Iowa and
elsewhere. In the city caucuses at
Newton solid delegation of twenty
six delegates was elected to the Jas
per county convention to be held
March 18th. The result is especially
significant because of the fact that
Newton has always been considered
strong progressive town. Taft
also carried the city of Winterset and
secured 125 of the 1876 delegates
chosen at the Republican caucuses In
Mahaska county. This sweeping VIC
tory means that Mahaska county will
send solid delegation of eighteen
members to the state and congression-
az conventions instructed for Taft
Caucuses in several precincts in Pot
tawattamie county, outside OF Council
Bluffs. resulted in the selection of
twelve Taft delegates. seven Cummins
delegates and three for Roosevelt At

Taft delegates to the Wapello county

DELEGATES, EXPENSES

Some of the papers are discussing
what it costs to be delegate to a
national convention. The Iowa City
Republican has the following on the
subject:
Two years ago the cost to each
delegate from Iowa to the Chicago
convention, aside from personal ex-
penses, was about SIS. An assessment
tof 500 was made upon the delegates
and SO upon the alternates. After
everything was settled up refund of
about $22 was made to each delegate
and proportional amount to the al
ternates. The principal work of a
delegate is to explain that he has no
tickets, but his duty is to get acquditt-
ed with the doorkeepers and police SO
that he can get his friends into the
hall. There are always enough fell
lows with lack OF tact or an oversup-
ply of dignity to work the doors, to
stay in the hall and do the voting
1t may be that the Republicans fig
ures are correct. but The Gate City
has been under the impression all
along that the expense to each dele
gate at the Chicago convention was
much greater. The Iowa delegation,
it will be recalled, occupied the Palm
Room at the Auditorium Hotel as
headquarters, for which it paid hand
somely. In the matter of display the
Iowa delegates far outshone even the
New Workers, who were supposed to
have almost unlimited means at their
command. AS to the principal work
and duty of delegate, this paper has
no disposition to challenge the Re-
publican's statement of the case.
