Make More Vigorous ‘Fight for Nomination i SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL WASHINGTON, June 30.——Secretary Taft is preparing a political speech, the first he has written:since he became a candidate for the presidency. He has not yet decided where it will be deliv- ered, but the fact- that he has made up his mind to discuss the issues of the day is construed by politiclans to mean that Taft has at last concluded to do what his friends have all alons been urging him to do—make a vigor- ous campaign for the nomination. In his speeches thus far Secretary Taft has discussed the various prob- lems of the;wari department. He has talked about the Philippines, Cuba, the canal and other enterprises with which he has been laboring., He has carefully avoided the-more interesting topics of the rallroads and tariff 'and corporation regulations. - The promise is now made that the secretary will tackle these larger and more’ entertaining subjects and will make- known ‘his views ‘on them. It 1is. probable that the Taft platform will be announced when the secretary makes’ his ' address. to. the Oklahoma republican: state convention. Mutual friendsiare arranging a date for this gathering. Of course, Secrstary Taft will support the Rooseveltpolicy. - He is In such complete harmony with it that the president believes Taft is the most available candidate In the fleld. Con- sequently Taft will be expected to favor litigation for the further regulation of the raflroads and perhaps laws for checking the growth of personal for- tunes.

It is today that the semiannual dividends of savings banks and industrial companies of large capitalization are due, and with the payment of this money at a slightly increased percentage over the payment of last January, it is estimated $7,000,000 or more in cash will be put into immediate circulation and will be available at once for buildiug pur- poses. ‘While the amount is comparatively small in relation. to the vast sum needed for reconstruction, it is In a form that will permit of .ts use at once, and being parceled out in cash among individuals and concerns with large projects at hand, will result in a noticeable advance in building activ- ity. The fact that the dividend pay- ments are to be made today has al- ready made Itself felt, and there is a more pronounced optimistic view con- cerning industrial work among busi- nessmen and contractors than there has been for several weeks. Financlers well versed In regard to local conditions estimated yesterday that the cash flotatiofi resulting from the semiannual dividend payments would approximate $7,000,000. The savings bank deposits in the city amount to upward of $200,000,000, while the dividend bearing stocks and bonds of industrial corporations should a- mount to as much more, at a conserva- tive estimate. the average annual dividend of all these concerns will reach almost, if not entirely, four per cent, making the basis of the present dividend distribution virtually 2 - per cent. The rate of interest, too, has lu~ creased from a quarter to a half per cent over that of the January distribu- tion, though the sum on which divi- h | dends will be made is virtually the same. The need of money has caused _— SCANITZ ROUGH ADERS Recent Conviction Changes| Plan of Political Or- ganization The second annual picnie of Schmitz Rough Riders, a political or- ganization of administration followers, was held yesterday at Schuetzen park, and with it came the announcement that the former supporters of the dis- graced mayor had purged themselves | of his name. Hereafter they will be known as the Rough Riders of Cali- fornia. Although the “Rough Riders” have seen fit to renounce the man they helped to put in office they will not leave the political field. -Accerding to the leaders the organization will con- tinue in the fleld for the same purpose for which it was formed—that of se- curing political prestige. Its list of officers contains the names of Colonel A. B.: Treadwell, Charles H. Hincken and Joseph Massey.
