Taft Takes Iowa.
It is cow practically settled that
rreaident Taft will take a majority
of the Iowa delegation to the Chi
cago convention, leaving Senator
Cummin with only a few votes in
support of bis candidacy from bis
home state. This it a striking testi
monial to the strength of President
Taft with his party, for it la certain
that Senator Cummins would never
have announced himself unless fully
persuaded that he would have the
backing of an almost solid delega
tion from hi own state of Iowa.
It should be remembered that
Iowa In particular has been heralded
one of the prairie atates, afire
with Insurgency, which would go to
any republican rather than to Taft,
and that it waa originally counted
on by Senator La Follette a part of
the Insurgent column behind him.
When It became doubtful whether
La Follette would win in Iowa a
againit Taft, Senator Cummin waa
projected with the expectation of
making certain of withholding all
the Iowa delegate from the Taft
forces. Tet It transpires that Iowa
republicans prefer the president, not
only aa agaioat La Follette, but a
against Cummins, their own popular
senator, who could not convince
them that be wat really In the run
ning with any prospect of landing
the nomination, and tbey were not
ready to be party to any plan to
nullify the influence of Iowa In the
convention. .
Now that the republicans of Iowa
have spoken through their prlmarlea
and conventions, it would be tbe
handsome thing tor Senator Cum
mins to accept ths verdict, end throw
his Influence to Taft
Toe High Water.
It la so easy to speak of breaking
records that one hesitate. In re
ferring to the present high watera,
to go too far with auperlatlves. But
this we know, that our Nebraska
rlverg art on what might prudently
be called a rampage, and have
wrought trait damage. At Water
loo, report tay, for (nttance, "the
water fell fifteen Inches, or eiactly
to the high water mark of 181.
Now, from that, of course, we decide
that tbe water was very high back
In lltl, but Just bow high one
cannot tell without consulting the
record. But It is thirty-one years
back to lltl, and ons may afford to
go pretty far with hla description of
ths terrible floods of that year.
But, for fact, conditions of the
paat winter made floods Inevitable
when ths Ice should break, and the
melting anowi In tha mountains will
swell the waten again later. So
that In addition to extreme cold
long drawn out, ths,, "oldest Inhab

to 1111 with awe-fraught voice, and
thi spring alto promises to give us
of this section and generation fur
ther claim to distinction in our new
high water marks.

Walt Whitman aaw a miracle in

That waa because Walt Whitman

Another good man. In our opinion,

a bias in his favor, but It also haa

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Plain DMler (democratic),
draws thia picture of the third term cam
paign as It appeared at tha national
capital on Saturday:
Gloom, thick and heavy, has settled
over the national Rooeevelt headquarters
here.
From admissions made today It msy
be stated that In ail probability th
Rooeevelt headquarters will be cloecd
by May 1, If not before.
Leaders of the Roosevelt movement
within the last three day seem to hare
become convinced thera no longer re
main chance of nominating the former
president. Hope has been abandoned. It
was aaid tonight, following confidential
report covering the campaign trip now
being made by Rxateveit.
It wa the dream of the Roosevelt
manager that the ex-prealdent. In his
appeal from the atump, would arouse
the sentiment which the Mven governor
In their appeal to Rooeevelt to announo
hla candidacy aaid existed In the country.
The real reports sent to the Rooeevelt
managers, rather than the ones given
to the public, are to the effect that th
Rooeevelt tour haa failed.
The trip was planned to start an antl
Taft stamped. Ita failure tonight ia
sorrowfully admitted by many of the
strongest antl-Taft members of the re
publican Insurgent group.
Word reached here tonight to tbe ef
fect that th former prealdent himself
has learned that the glowing reports
carried to him before he announced hi
candidacy were baaed upon hopea rather
than facta Because of the embarrass
ing position In which he find himself,
the reports say Colonel Roosevelt la
letting Ioom with pointed and aharp re
buke for many ot th very men who
lees than six week ago wsr telling
him how he would sweep th country.
For example. Colonel Roosevelt was
upremly confident ot hie ability to
overwhelm President Taft In Ohio. The
former prealdent now la not only dle
guated. but angry with th amall group
who Informed him how Ohio would rtee
la solid phalanx to upport hi can
didacy. Th colonel believe a wa m la-
informed.
Much th same feeling that exists with
reference to Ohl applies to other state.
The case of Missouri sMmlngly I typical
of condition over the country. Governor
Hadley wa a leader among th governor
urging tha Roosevelt candidacy. Colonel
Roosevelt In hla Invasion of Missouri
failed to stir th aentlmant which waa
relied upon to give him the Mild or prac
tically solid delegation from that atate
Report received her tonight (Satur
day) ar to the effect that President Taft
111 reeeiv majority of the Missouri
delegatloa and that Governor Hadley. If
be goea aa a delegate-at-uuge, probably
will be inetructed to vote for Taft. It la
believed, however, that Governor Hauiev
would refus to Mrve as convention
delegate under those circumstance.
There Is persistent talk here that Col
onel Roovlt ia certain to meet tin

lett whan hi campaign want Into
aclioM becau of hi physical break

tions from the Wlaconaln aanator. Th
tag apparently Is sat for th earn
procedure In the case of the former pres
ident. Among the most Intra a of the
Insurgent there I open talk that any
mer man, no matter who he may be,
but n Incident In th present fight; that
It la a contMt far beyond that embraced
la tba personality of any individual.
That wss precisely th argument em
ployed by Govern or Johnson of Califor
nia, 01 f ford Plnchot and sever! of th
Inaursent republican senators wh aban
doned Senator La Follette snd (ied
upon Cetonal RooMvelt as th "on bst
bet" to defeat Prealdent Taft. All chance
ha son, apparently, for the laeurgeat
group to pick another leader, or to groom
a dark horse. Probably a majority of
them hav mad up their mind to ac
cept th inevitable, which they now be
lieve to be the renom! nation of the presi
dent.
Th New Tork primaries, which Insure
President Taft at least eventy-lght out
of th ninety delegate, will stand. The
RooMvelt manager have decided that aa
appeal to th eourts will b tutll. Then
I no idea that the New Tork assembly
will act en the suggestion that a new
primary bill should be enacted, and even
If on ahould be enacted It could net
poaalbly be put into operation so a to
affect the delegate elected to th Chi

The Taft manager SMmlngly hare dis
missed from their mind th possibility
of th nomination of Colonel Roosevelt.

written and aent at the urgent request
of Coroner Armstrong himself." He also
says, "The coroner appeared in bis tall;
with the executive office to be very de
sirous of having such a communication
sent to be read at the inquect, aid It was
merely to conform with his idea of the
situation that Governor Aldiich wrote
th letter."
I do not understand why Secretary Ful
ler ahould make such a atkxement, a the
entire statement la absolutely untrue. I
never have had one word of conversation
with the governor, nor anyone connectci
with his office, upon this or any other
subject I never have had the honor of
making tbe governor'a acquaintance. I
never have seen him but once in m
and that waa in the Rome hotel in Oman
eome time last December. The letter in
question was not aent to me, but to Mr.
Figenbaum of Springfield, and by him de
ltvered to me at the Inquest I do not
know what "prominent citizens of the
county" may have done, but as for me.
I at no time had the least apprehension
of any trouble or violence at the Inquest,
as I knew the people of Springfield to be
perfectly fair and law-abiding.
