Roosevelt left today with tho people,

mainder of his California trip.
"Colonel Roosevelt," hu said, "is

if Roosevelt is elected president ho

ney General Tanner today expressed
himself entirely satisfied with the de
cision of the supreme court of the
United States announced yesterday
in the case of the state public service
commission ainiinst the Oregon Kail
road nnd Navigation company. Ac
cording to Tanner, while the case is
leoided. in fnvor.ut the rnilroud,-fco
far as- tho secific evidence is con
cerned, the state gained an important
victory in huviiij the constitutionality
of the public service commission law
upheld. The; commission required the
O. It. and N. to make certain railroad
connections with other railroads in
eastern Washington adjacent to its
tracks. The supreme court, while sus
taining the right of the commission
to make such orders when traffic o
demanded, held that in the case at
bar the connections ordered were not
neee-sary.

SKATTLK. April 30 Not until tho
state conventions meet, will cither the
eloso contests between Roosevelt and
Taft in thu republican party and be
tween Clark nnd Wilson in the domo
oratiu parly bo determined. In most
of tho counties, tho delegates have
not yet been chosen. In King county,
tho largest in tho state, thoro will be
contesting delegations. While tho
progressives at the primaries on Sat
urday won out and will ehooso 121
progressive republican dolcgates .at
tho county convention no.xt Saturday,
tho executive committee of the county
