TAFT NOW WRITING
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS

WASHINGTON, July 24-(By AS
sociated Press)-Former President
Taft, who has written to several re-
publican senators and suggested res
ervations to the peace treaty, which
might be acceptable to both sides,
has opened correspondence on the
subject with prominent Democratic
senators.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
one of the leading spokesman for the
administration received a letter today
from Mr.. Taft.
President Wilson had no engage
ments today with senators fer dis
cussion of the treaty.
Secretary Lansing wno returned
to Washington today from France,
had long conference with President
Wilson during the forenoon.
Following is copy of the letter
Mr.. Taft is sending to numerous re-
publican leaders, urging ratification
of the treaty but suggesting reser-
vations which may be acceptable:
Taft's Letter
my Dear Mr.. Hays;
In what | said yesterday l did not
go over the various int orefatiohs
and reservations, because I thought
that in our previous correspondence
they were sufficiently explained. ]
think it is wise, now that | have for
INFLATED them, after good deal of
thought, to take up ny reasons i'll
detail for suggesting them.
Speaking generally, | wish to en-
phasize my conviction that the United
States senate might well ratify the
present treaty without any reserva-
tions or interpretations I am conf
dent that the actual operation of the
treaty after ratification would bring
about exactly the same results as that
which would be attained by the ac-
ceptance of these interpretations and
reservations, but it seems to me to
be the part of statesmen to recog-
nize the eXigencies, personal, parti-
san and political, of a situation in
seeking to achieve real progress and
reform.
The situation which :onfronts us
now in reference to the ratification
of the treaty is one created by very
serious mistakes of policy committed
by Mr. Wilson. The partisan charac-
ter of his administrator during the
war, together with his appeal to his
countrymen to elect a Democratic
congress in November, 1913 created
a condition of personal and political
antagonism toward him among repub-
lican leaders which was shared BY a
majority of the American people
This was shown in the result of the
election. Notwithstanding this Mr.
Wilson persisted in continuing the
same partisan exclusion of republi-
cans in dealing with highly important
matter Of settling the results Of the
war. He selected a commission in

NEGOTIATIONS FOR GOATS
FROM FAMOUS N. M. RANCH

The committee in charge Of the
program to be given here the Fourth
Of July, is going to have something
worth while for people TO come 90
Lubbock on the Fourth. This can be
seen from the fact that just any goat
will not be satisfactory for roping.
They are wanting more excitement
than roping just the common goats.
DR. Barr. who is chairman of this
committee tells us that they are now
negotiating for goats to come from
the famous Ortiz Grant" in New
Mexico. These goats are big and
strong and can run faster than the
average.
Already there are t5 contestants
registered with the committee to par.
tieipate in the roping and there ls ex-
pected to be at least that many more,
which will warrant a good purse for
the winners.
