thirds of the contested seats in convention.
In on of two statements Issued to
night by Representative McKlnley. head
of the Taft forces, the following ap
pears:
"Of the 3 states and territories and
districts represented in the Republican
national convention this year. Presi
dent Taft has the entire delegations or
a majority of the delegations from 20
states in the North and West; ten from
the Houth and five from the District
of Columbia and territories, or a total
of 55. Mr. Roosevelt haa the delega
tions or trie majority of them from 14
states in the North and West, and from
two in the South, or a total of It. Sen
ator Robert M. La Follette has two,
Wisconsin and North Dakota. Further
more, President Taft has representation
on th delegations from seven of the
tales which Mr. Roosevelt haa carried
In this contest. Increasing the number
of political units represented in his to
tal of delegates to 41 out of ii In th
convention.
t'lal ma Declared A be art.
"In the face of this analysis of the
delegations by states aa tbey have been
elected to the Chicago convention the
utter absurdity of the claims of Mr.
Roosevelt and his managers that they
control the convention is apparent.
They will have, in fact, all the diffi
culty possible in managing the so
called "sere' delegates who already re
alise that they are being led Into a
ditch. If not Into an actual bolt, bya
lost cause."
United States Senator Dixon, when
told of the committee action In voting
for sessions open to the press, said that
the declaion was a victory for Roose
velt. In this connection he said:
This Is th first time we ever had
any publicity of these matters at all.
and It Is the result of the demand mad
by th friends of Colonel Roosevelt.
Beyond question, we hav th legiti
mate vote to nominate Roosevelt by
a safe majority. We want th public
to know upon what we base that claim.
We will continue to Insist that the pub
lic know all the facts."
Unwell Issue Statement,
R. R. Howell, of Nebraska, chosen
for new committeeman in the state
primaries, also issued a statement aftex
conferring with Mr. Dixon. He said:
Mr. Rosewater will retain his seat
In the National committee fur the pres
ent without contest, aa I have been re
quested by Senator Dixon to defer th
persrntation of mycredentlals.
"While I now am legally entitled.
without q-uesilon to perform the func
tions of National committeeman from
Nebraska. I shall attempt to assume
the duties of that office only when th
duties of Colonel Roosevelt's campaign
so demand.
I have been thoroughly In accord
with th leoosevelt management In
this matter frem the beginning, and
In assuming this attitude I believe that
I have been and now am fully per
forming the duty Imposed 'upon me by
the progressiva - Republicans of Ne
braska when they so decisively recalled
my opponent, Mr. Rosewater."
The Rosewater and Howell contest.
It was expected before the committee
met. would develop the first test of
strength between Taft and Roosevelt
members, and Its postponement was
variously construed. Certain Taft ad
herents said the Roosevelt managers
were unwilling to take the initiative
In asking for a roll call on any such
clearly defined Issues at this time. .

XEW TO DE.VL- WITH SCALPERS
First Sign of Speculation to Be Sig
nal for Arrests.
CHICAGO. June -Colonel Harry a
New, chairman of .the sub-committee
on arrangements, made It plain today
that he la prepared to deal harshly
with ticket scalpers, should any at
tempt be made by them to procure
tickets for speculation purposes to the
Republican National convention.
"If professional ticket scalpers at
tempt to sell tickets to the conven
tion, I will have them In custody at
auon ss I hear of It." he said.
Colonel New branded aa "rubbish" a
rumor that (00 seats had been ar
ranged for outside of the number offi
cially announced. He said the report
was so absurd that it was not worth
answering. '
Two boxes of tickets which arrived
from the printers were locked up In a
vault last night to remain there until
it hours before the convention.

The La Crosse, Wisconsin, Case
The vWisconsin Railroad Commission, which has jurisdic
tion oveV all public utilities in that state, made an exhaustive
examination of the electric light situation in La Crosse, Wiscon
sin. Its comment found in Volume 2, Page 5, of the Wisconsin
Railroad Commission Reports, is very interesting reading to
the average citizen of Portland, in light of the present situation.
In part it is as follows:
"The conditions which surround public service corporations are
of such character that the services which they render can usually be
furnished at a much lower cost by one plant than by two or more in
the same locality.
"The investment in these corporations cannot bo withdrawn or
often converted into other purposes. The interest and the mainte
nance charges go on at about the same rate, whether the plant is in
operation or not. "
"Duplicating of such plants is a waste of capital, whenever the
services can be adequately furnished by one plant.
"It necessarily means that interest and maintenance must be
earned on a much greater, if not twice as great an investment, and
that the actual cost of operation is likely to be relatively higher.
"Competition in this service therefore usually means a bitter
struggle and low rates, until one of the contestants is forced out of the
field, when the rates are raised to the old level, if not above it, or to a
combination or understanding of some sort between them which also
ultimately results in higher rates.
"In this way it often happens that the means which were thought
to be the preventive of onerous conditions become the very agent3
through which such conditions are imposed.
"In fact,-active and continuous competition between public ultility
corporations, furnishing the same service to the same locality, seems
to be out of the question.
"Two distinct and separate corporations are not likely to remain
separate very long, after it becomes clear that the services rendered
by both can be more cheaply and effectively furnished by only one of
them."
If such is the opinion of -the eminent experts of
Wisconsin, is it not worth consideration on the
part of the citizens of Portland?
