It Is feet and cover It with a hard-surface pavement, with wide cement side- why President Taft thinks Colonel Roosevelt should not be nominated." said William Jennings Bryan In his ad dress to an audience that packed Dreamland Pavilion today. Mr. Bryan was discussing the bitter fight that Is being waged In the Re publican party and had Just finished saying, that the Democrats already have Roosevelt's Indictment of Taft to use against the President should he be re nominated. Mr. Bryan spoke for more than two hours and reiterated the statements made In other cities that Iji Follette Is the true progressive leader in the Republican party and called on progres sive Republlcana to turn to the Dem ocrat party In tho coming campaign. Bryaa Gaest ff Preaa Clnb. Mr. Bryan spoke at the First Meth odist Church tonight under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion, and later was a guest at the Seat tle Press Club. Mr. Bryan made no reference during the day to the municipal campaign, which will close Monday night and in which Georgo F. Cotterlll, single-laxer and a prominent Democrat, is running for Mayor on a non-partisan ticket against Hiram C. Gill. Mr. Bryan arrived by steamer from Tacoma shortly before noon. Soon aft. erward he attended a cafetaria lunch eon given by the King County Demo cratic Club. George F. Cotterlll. mu nicipal ownership candidate for Mayor, sat at Mr. Bryan's right and was greeted almost as noisily as was Mr. Bryan. The latter made a brief address, urg ing the Democrats to organize thor oughly, for the events of the past few days had made it evident that a warm National campaign was at hand. A re port had been widely circulated that Mr. Bryan's visit to Seattle was for the purpose of taking part In the cam paign for Cotterlll, but this was not so. Sugar Bill Is Approved. Mr. Bryan expressed vigorously his entire approval of the Income tax and free sugar bills Indorsed by the House Democratic caucus. He said: "I am in favor of the Income-tax bill and am very glad the Democrats have Introduced it. Mr. Taft said In 190S, In opposing an Income-tax amend ment, that an Income tax could be se cured by statute whenever the people wanted It. I am satisfied they want It and am glad Congress has decided to give It to them. It will prove one of the most popular acts of this Demo crats Congress. "I am also In favor of the free-sugar bill. Taking the tax off of sugar and putting It on an. income reduces the burden on consumption. .-A tax on sugar taxes people, not In proportion to wealth or Income, but In proportion to the amount of sugar they consume. All taxes on consumption overburden the poor man and underburden the rich, and a tax on sugar Is especially open to this objection. A por man with a large family probably consumes more sugsr than a rich man with a small family. So large a proportion of our Federal revenues Is derived from taxes on consumption that we ought to wel come any step toward equalisation of this burden." STUDENTS WILL EXHIBIT O. A. C.

Hawley's I plans go through the Governors of the Northwest, accompanied by their com missions, will go to San Francisco In a special train the latter part of March. and select sites for the respective state buildings, thereby securing the ad vantage of having them grouped so that the greatest benefit can be gained by the Northwest as a whole.

I had hoped that this could be attended to before, as it makes it somewhat dif ficult for me to bo in San Francisco at that time. Governor West of Oregon Intends. I understand, pfomptly to make the selection of a site for that state. I have been in correspondence with a number of Governors who have a similar duty to perform and hope that four or five of them with the commis sions from their states would be there at the same time. I had a telegram from Governor Harmon yesterday In which he states that he cannot be in San Francisco before the latter part of March. I had made particular engage ments with Governor Harmon to be one of a number of Governors who would be on band as soon as the grounds were open for the selection of sites. I expect to hear from him and from other Governors with whom I have been In correspondence In the course of the next week and ascertain positively with reference to their views on the matter. I am anxious that a proper site be selected for the Idaho building. We should be liberal in our expenditure In this matter, as it unquestionably will be the greatest exposition the world has ever seen, and will do a vast amount of good for the Western States. Idaho should be well tn the front, and we can make st showing there by the proper expenditure of money." Governor Hawley has appointed the members of the Idaho commission to select the site for the Idaho building. They are: C. L. Hettman. of Rath drum, chairman of the Republican state cen tral committee; John Nugent, of Boise, chairman of the Democratic state cen tral committee: Judge Edgar Bryan, of Caldwell: Lieutenant-Governor Lew is IL Sweetser. of Burley. and A. T. At water. of Meridian. The plan to run a special train to San Francisco contain ing the Governors of the Northwestern and some of the Western states, to gether with the commissions selected from those states, is meeting with ap proval, and if ail of the Governors can go at the same ttme, the special will make the trip.
