Paul Eaton. Esta-jcada, will leave for their redounded to his advantage. It galvanized his steady supporters into unremitting toll. The atmosphere of "dictation by labor'' aroused the ire not only of many regular Democrats but of a good propoition of labor's own rank and file. The Taft campaign of 19a0 was a genuine crusade.

The results show it. Taft, supposedly the symbol of OOP conservatism, won all eight major industrial areas in his state. All told, he lost only four counties. In tin- face of his driving, brilliantly organized campaign, the opposition split with disgruntled Democrats leaving Labor in the saddle and then finally crumbled. It is extremely doubtful that this pattern ever could be precisely repeated.

Able, organization Taft will have. But that is not enough to elect these days. If Taft is to gain the White House as he believes he can, he plainly will have to offer a program broadly tailored to appeal not simply to Republicans already with him but to the multiplying battalions of independents who hold the real key. And to do this he will have to convince them that his foreign views as well as) his domestic policies are as enlightened and far-seeing as the nation's crisis demands. The Senate was considering in Alaska Housing Authority supplemental appropriation for million.

The House had approved million. Republican Senators Bridges of New Hampshire and Ferguson of Michigan, trying to save a lit-lle money, proposed cutting the Senate appropriation to $1 million. Oldest Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennesee, chairman of the Senate appropriations committee, was present. Bridges and Ferguson asked him if he would accept the cut. "Will the senator state what the amendment is?" asked McKellar.

Patiently, Senator Bridges explained it agam. "I am always willing to go half way," said McKellar. "So if th" senator will change his amendment and make it I will be willing to accept it. Senator Bridges was delighted, hut apparently thinking that Chairman McKi liar was confused, asked him if he didn't mean $1,250,000. "No." said McKellar, Smiiing in satisfaction, Bridges and Ferguson let it ride.

But later someone must have explained to McKellar what he had done, for he rose, ail apologies. "Mr. President," he began, "A mistake Wa.s made the figures earlier in the clay. It whs all my fault. It: was not the fault of the senator from New Hampshire nor the senator from Michigan.

However, a mistake was made I ask unanimous consent for a reconsidera-tior of the vote. Senators Bridges and Ferguson consented. And I In- figure was restored to With the suspense over Senator Taft's 10r2 intentions now ended, we can safely examine the probabilities evoked by his candidacy. Some political question the wisdom of a declaration for the presidency nine months before convention. They arctic that Taft may pass the peak of his strength too early and find himself spinning downward at voting time; also, that he may become too easy a target for those bent on knocking him down.

There is plenty of evidence in campaign history to support these doubts. Hut, being a man of candor, Taft could hardly have done otherwise than he did. Taft exuded confidence that he can be both nominated and elected. As for the former, lie unquestionably holds a commanding advantage at this moment. He is the favorite of the regular Republican organization in many key states.

All reports indicate he has eorraled somewhere between 3'i0 and 100 of the 600 delegate votes needed to nominate. That advantage is not necessarily decisive, however, since avowal of candidacy by General Eisenhower in the next few months would crystallize an opposition of probably equal, if not greater strength. But if Taft should go into the spring without a declared opponent, he will be hard to catch. His election is something else again. That he would conduct a forthright campaign goes without saying.

The question is how wide its appeal would be. Every politician should study carefully the figures depicting the relative strength of the two major parties and the growing body of independents between them. The facts cold and unrelenting lire that the Republican Party is today a minority parly in the United Stales. No matter how you juggle totals, you cannot escape that conclusion. That means that any Republican who wishes to be elected to the presidency must win more than just the votes assuming always that he manages to flush the bulk of those from their election day hideaways.

He must capture a sizable share of the floating independent vote, and some dissident Democratic votes as well. Taft thinks he can do it, too. As proof, he cites his smashing '11. nun-vote victory in Ohio last year. This, say he and his close adviseis, gives the lie to the old complaint that Taft cannot get votes.

But observers who know Die Ohio story urge Against too glib an interpretation of lhat victory. Ohio whs a very special case. It was not necessarily the United States in microcosm. For one thing, Taft had incredibly weaK opposition.

They drove down to Ann Arbor, Mic and left the car there with their son, Lawrence, and then continued their trip to Buffalo, N. where they visited relatives. This afternoon the big safe of the Homestake company was moved from the old offices to the new. Six horses were required to haul the truc on which it was loaded.

The job of unloading and loading the safe was a difficult one. FIFTY YEARS AGO October 2,1, 1901 The brick walls fur the new county jail kitchen in Deadwood have been built to the tops of the windows, ami will probably be completed today.

The talk toward that end has been well and faithfully done for the past four years. Every one knows that street should be opened and few oppose it. The city council has at last clinched it. the street will be opened as soon as possible, providing some new anil unforeseen interruption does not occur.
