ministration Should Clinch
Good Work Started.
(Bv Associated Press.)
CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 28.
Standing on the flag draped plat
form In front of his brother's home,
W. H. Taft at noon today accepted
the nomination of the Republican
party to bo its candidate for the
presidency. The occasion was a
demonstration unequalled in the his
tory of Cincinnati. The day was
clear and very warm with but a
slight breeze. Standing guests and
crowds in the streets seemed not to
mind the scorching rays of the sun.
The notification was made the occti
sion for a general holiday. I
Senator Warner of Missouri, past
commander of the Grand Army of the
Republic, headed the notification
committee. Warner's speech notifica
tion was brief and when he conclud
ed there was un enthusiastic outburst
of chcoring as Taft stepped forward
to accept. I
Taft's speech was a lengthy one,
the written document containing over
12,000 words or two or three solid
newspaper pages of small typo. In
it, he paid great tribute to the Rooso
velt administration, declaring that ho
believed the great function of the
following administration was to
clinch the reforms already underway.
This he pledged himself to do. Ho
also discussed the Democratic plat
form at length, declaring much of It
to be sham.
In concluding the speech of noti
fication, Senator Warner said:
"It is gratifying to your country
men to reflect that of the great Roo-.
sevelt administration you have been
a conspicuous part, as you were of
the administration of Mr. McKlnley,
whose accomplishments mark a na-'
tlonal progress unsurpassed in all of
our previous national life."

Independence League Busy On
Platform and Trying to
Select Candidate.
'By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, 111., July 28. The In
dependence League party was busi
ly engaged early today In the con
struction of its initial platform and
the selection of its first presidential
candidate. The resolution commit
tee worked far into the night
and were hard at it at an early hour
today. Planks by the dozen on fi
I nance, labor and trusts rained in
upon the committee. More radical
utterance on injunctions than was
made by either the Democrats or Re
publicans is favored. Californlans
are strongly pressing for a forceful
j declaration against Asiatic immigra
tion. It is also probable that the
financial plank will favor the issu
ance of all money direct by the gov
ernment instead of through national
banks. Over capitalization of Indus
trial enterprises will be denounced
trial enterprises will be denounced and
an amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law providing that It shall not
affect combinations of business mon
Is looked -for. Despite the fact that
W. R. Hearst has repeatedly declar
ed that he will not be a candidate for
the presidency, there is a strong sen
timent among the delegates for him.
HIsgen and Howard are still con
fident of their selection.
John Temple Graves announced to
day that he would be an active candi
date for the presidential nomination
and declared that in his opinion the
only thing that would prevent his
nomination would be a stampede for
Hearst.

Master Fish Warden McAllister
Decides to Put In Permanent
One There.
H. C. McAllister, who recently suc
ceeded Mr. Van Dusen as the master
fish warden of the state of Oregon,
Is on Coos Bay getting in touch with
local conditions. He came up yester
day from the Coquille and announces
that he has decided to replace the
temporary hatchery on the Coquille
with a permanent hatchery, making
It one of the best in this section.
The decision of Mr. McAllister to
make the improvement on the Co
quille will be gratifying to fishermen
in this section as It will mean the
providing of more young game fish
for the streams in this section. With
the ever increasing number of fisher
men in this section, the streams are
getting pretty well depleted. The
Coos river hatchery, It is said, has
furnished many young fish for the
Coquille.
Visits Coos Hatchery.
Mr. McAllister visited the Cooe
River Hatchery and is pleased with
the work that Superintendent Frank
Smith is accomplishing there. The
damage which the Coos River hat
chery sustained In floods during the
past year Is being repaired and every
thing points to another successful
season at the hatchery.
Mr. McAllister also visited with
Deputy Game Warden Cal Wright
and is pleased with the manner In
which Mr. Wright is enforcing the
law. Mr. McAllister aside from his
official position is an enthusiastic
sportsman and keenly resents the ac
tions of would-be sportsman in violat
ing the laws and regulations made
for the benefit of all.
Mr. McAllister Is on a general tour
of the state to familiarize himself
with conditions. He had not been on
Coos Bay for four or five years and
was greatly surprised with develop
ments here since his last visit. The
manner in which is taking hold of
his new duties Is gratifying to all who
are interested in it either from a
mercenary or a sportsman's stand
point. Sing those praises louder
Of Crescent Baking Powder,
So that all In Coos Bay
Will Know it's here to stay.

Rumors of Sensational Effort
to Be Made to Secure North
' Bend Man's Release
A campaign, has been quietly inau
gurated to secure the release of J.
C. Wilcox, the North Bend dance
'iall proprietor, from the Coos Coun
ty jail atCoqulllef where he is serv
ing a year's sentence for the multi
farious offenses of which he was
convicted at the last term of court
before Judge Hamilton. While It is
mposslble to secure any official sta
tement of the matter, It is understood
hat Wilcox's friends promise to en
leavor to spring a sensation in their
effort.
R. Cltson, a Portland attorney, Is
aid to have been engaged to take
sharge of the matter and is under
stood to have reached Coos Bay a few
lays age. Fred Hollister of Guerrj
ind Hollister of North Bend, who
lave been Mr. Wilcox's attorneys, re
'used to make any statement con
:erning the matter when asked about
It.
It is said that Mr. Cltson has had
conferences with Guerry and Hollis
er7 Sheriff Gage and Wilcox and is
;olng to take the matter up with
District Attorney Geo. M. Brown and
fudge Hamilton.
Hired to Get Evidence.
According to gossip of the affair,
in endeavor is being made to secure
avidence that the witnesses upon
whose testimony Wilcox was con
victed, were hired for the work In
other words that certain parties who
were desirous of having Wilcox pu
nished engaged boys to go to Wil
:ox's place and represent that, they
were twenty-one years old and ob
aln liquor.
This and similar matters are, it is
understood, to be laid before Prose
3Utlng Attorney Brown and Judge
Hamilton in an effort to show that
Wilcox was persecuted instead of be
ing prosecuted. Whether an attempt
will be made to punish the parties al
leged to be responsible has not been
divulged.
The present method of securing
Wilcox's release was inaugurated
after Gov. E. Chamberlain had re
fused to grant a parole.
The matter Is likely to stir up
North Bend and may even be more
far reaching before It is ended.
