TAFT SECURE MORE DELEGATES Continued from Page 17, Column 4 as well as in several other southern states prior to the conventions held to name delegates to the national conven tion. The alleged spurious ttek^ts'were not tfiflerent from the genuine, and th« door keepers at the convention had no recourse but to admit any person pos- B«^sir.g one. The members of the anti- Taft faction had the foresight to reach tho h,aU first, and th*y were in control \u25a0Bii"n the Chubb delegates arrived. The, latter wer« compelled to go elsewhere to hold their convontlon. They said th«*y wfr» outwitted by "Yankee trick *ry." What they meant by the term was shown by the disclosure today. . VICE PRKSIDEXTIAI, SITUATION Tlie vice presidential situation al ready has become a subject of much talk among the national commlttee lner.. anil the impression prevails that It will be the sentiment of the commit tee that an eastern man. preferably one from New York state, should be named. Secretary Cortelyou Is favored, but eoiue members doubt the political wis dom of taking the entire ticket from tlie Roosevelt cabinet. Representative Bberm&n, chairman of the congres sional committee, and Representative J. Slo.it Fassett are also mentioned. There are other members of the com mittee who are inclined to the belief that Senator Dolllver of lowa is in the , running, and still others continue to talk of the renornination of Vice Pres ident Fairbanks in spite of his state m^nt that he will not accept second r'a^e again. There will be an effort made here soon. It is said upon good authority, to launch a boom for Senator Knox as Secretary Taffs running mate in the event of the latter's nor- \ inatlon. but the move will not come from Pennsylvania. TAFT IS CONGRATULATED President Is Pleased With Out look for War Secretary SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALf, WASHINGTON. June 6. — Secretary Taft conferred today with President Rooserelt about political affairs in the republic of Panama and work In the canal zone. But there was also a little bit of agreeable, interchange of con fciatulatio:i.s over the way things are working at Chicago. Secretary Taft received congratulations throughout Ihe day on the results of the con tests that have been decided by the rational committee up to this time. White House callers who met him shook hands with him and assured him That the machinery was running at riiicago as had been expected and that lie was as good as nominated. So far as the president Is concerned, Ms prediction of Taft on the first bal lot was made months ago. and he has prown stronger In that conviction ev ery day since. Many weeks ago he concluded that the fight was as good p-s settled. Secretary Taft was less Far.guine than the president for a long time, and even in the last few weeks !tas, in conservative fashion, preferred to catch the rabbit before cooking It.

INSIST STATE MUST CLAIM SCHOOL LAND Thirty/Plaintiffs Seek to File on Unsurveyed Sections and Then Exchange SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIX SACRAMENTO, June 6.— The filing of more than 30 suits in the' superior court of Sacramento,, against . the~ surveyor general has . developed : . a novel question in the annals of state land'aff airs.KThe plaintiffs in the actions claim the right to compel the surveyor general '- to - file applications for land -to , be ;- secured from the. United' States irrespective of whether or not the state has the" pres ent right to ask for; such lands. In the year 1850 the'-United States gave the state, of California ; all six teenth and thirty-sixth; sections for school purposes. When j these sections were afterward surveyed by the United States they passed rover, absolutely ito the state. Pending"; surveys ; the state had the right when any unsurveyed section should be Included within any reservation created -by the. United States, to select' other lands of the United States in; placa of the land so included. y < . . ' •". It always has been the practice of the surveyor general's 'office; to refuse to file 'any applications , for government land based on unsurveyed sections until the reservation has been' actually; cre ated. In the present 'cases the appli cants claim the right to file their appli cations, wait for the land \to be placed within a reservation and then j claim an exchange. The polnt*has never been raised before -and Is "deemed very im portant. If. the contestants win it will open the way for a large number of en : tries on _ unsurveyed lands which may afterward be exchanged for.- better lands in surveyed sections.
