A SPECIAL WORD TO MR. DAHL AND TO SOME OTHERSTimes plays no favorites.

Dahl must have known that the Times had no grievance against him, but he was ill enough advisedto hire attorneys and try to make the Times pay him damages.

Dahl lost. It was a foregone conclusion that he would lose. He should never have gone into courtat all. It was an expensive trial. It cost Dahl nearly $2,000.

This newspaper does not carry a chip on its shoulder. But when attacked, it is ready to fight atall times. It makes no difference whether it is the least powerful or most powerful man in Tacoma.The Times fights fair, but fights haixl.

Whether there are to be twoconventions at Aberdeen Wednes-day to select Washington^ 14delegates to the national conven-tion, depends upon the state cen-tral committee which meets to-morrow.

Taft leaders are openly boast-Ing that this pro-Taft committee•will arbitrarily disregard theRoosevelt-UaFollette majority,

and will seat every contested Taftdelegate in the convention ontemporary rollcall, which was thecause of course of the absurd bolthere.

The program for the proposedconvention steal includes an ar-rangement to admit no one intothe convention hall unless lie hasa certificate \u25a0 signed by B. W.Coiner.

The secretary of the commit-tee, Edgar C. Snyder, Seattle, is aprogressive.

Hay Has Cold Feet.Gov. Hay, although a Taft man,

has been attempting to dissuadethe Taft. leaders from carryingout this program, so as to averthis own defeat for re-election.

Insurgents, however, have littlehope for a "square deal" and theyare preparing to use physicalforce if necessary to gain admis-sion to the hall.
