political managers, from governor,
senators and congressmen down to
ward leaders.. Tomorrow's republi
can state convention, which will he
called to order her at 10 o'clock, will
doubtless go off without a hitch. All
the machinery la well oiled and ap
parently in the best working order.
Governor Deneen, Senator Hopkins
and Cullom and Mayor Buase of Chi
cago have been decided on as the on
to be honored as delegatea at large,
and there la not likely to be much op
position to this program. The con
vention will be composed of 1582 del
egates. Many of these arrived in
Springfield today.
Friends of Secretary Taft. while ad
mitting that Cannon men will con
trol tomorrow's convention, declare
that a great many of the delegates
from congressional districts will swing
to Taft if the Cannon boom la punc
tured In the national convention. The
peculiar situation which exists In th
gubernatorlal campaign hns aldel
Cannon.
The Cannon delegates must be se
lected before the middle of April,
while the delegates who will nominate
a governor will not be selected untl:
August. If the Cannon forces are de
feated In their object of getting th
state delegation In the national con
ventlon,' and decided to hold the De
een men responsible, they can punl. ',
Deneen In the August primaries. Ti..
Deneen men. therefore, are alnvjMi
compelled to "deliver the goods" to
Cannon in advance.
Although Taft ond other candidate-,
have many fi lends In Illinois, espe
cially In Chicago, the action of th
state committee In Indorsing Cannor

LAST SPECIAL MESSAGE
(Continued from page 1.)
certain matters on which I think there
should be action taken before thl?
congress closes Its present session.
"Child labor should be prohibited
throughout the nation. At least, a
model child labor bill should be passed
for the District of Columbia.
"I renew my recommendation for
legislation on the question of the em
ployers' liability and again call your
attention to the urgent need of
amending th Interstate commerce
law, especially the anti-trust law.
alogn lines Indicated In my last mes
sage. .
"The interstate commerce , law
should be amended to give railroads
the right to make tariff agreements
subject' to approval by the Interstate
commerce .commission. The commls
sion should be given power to make
public and pass upon the 'issuance of
all security hereafter Issued by rail
roads doing an Interstate commerce
business. . In the modern Industrial
world, combination are absolutely
necessary. It is mischievous and un
wholesome to keep upon the statute
books until modified, laws like the
any-trust law which, while in prac
-Ice, is only partially effective against
the vicious combinations, has. never
ineiess, in tne ordinary, been con
strued to prohibit every combination
In the transaction of modern bust
ness."
Following his recommendations in
relation to the child labor law, and
the amendment of the Interstate com
merce law, giving roads the right to
make tariff agreements subject to the
approval of the Interstate commerce
commission, the president took up the
subject of labor organizations and
present laws. He said It was uncer
tain Just how far the unions conflict
ed with the anti-trust law. He urged
that legislation be enacted In order
to conform with recent supreme court
decisions. .
"No temporary restraining order
should be granted by the court with
out due notice," he sald. "It Is Im
portant that agreements between em
ployer and employees should be Just
and fair. A strike is a clumsy weap
on In adjusting wrongs done to la
bor. Tut strikes should be recognized
as entirely legal. The right of em
ployers to combine and contract with
each other and the employee should
be recognized. Nothing should be
done to legalize the blacklist or boy
cott that would be illegal under the
common law. We have the right to
expect financial legislation , before
the coise of the session. Action should
be taken to establish postal savings
hanks. Our forests need every protec
tion. Wood pulp should be put oh
the free list. The waterways com
mission should be made permanent.
S
The sheriffs office is making prep
aratlon to make another large turn
over of tax money to County Treasur
er Frawley. By the iftit of the week
when the funds will be turned Into the
county coffers, the amount of fund"
on hand in the sheriff! r.fi'ice will be
tbout 160.000. This, with other turn-
ivers that have been ma.,- this spring
will bring the total flcurei to some
thing like $ 160.000, that liHve nov.
been collected.
Since the 16th of this month no re
bntes have been Issued, but for all
that the money keeps pllln? up In th"
collecting department. O.i the flru

Enterprise FlU-ber and Catcher Are

Judging from past records and from
the confidence noticeable among the
players of the visiting Enterprise
team, the batten- from the sheeprais
Ing country Is something out of the
ordinary, and the home players will
have to do some exceptional stick
work If they keep up with the pro
cession. The general Impression is
that the visitors place much of their
chances of winning on the work of
their pitcher and catcher.
