Anti-Tanner Men.
RACE FOR THE LEAGUE PRESIDENCY
Between DingIey of Maine and
Boyle of Maryland.
THE VARIOUS OFFICERS

OMAHA, Neb., July 14.-Today'e pro-
gram at the convention of the republican
league OF the United States included re-
ports from committees and an address by
ex-Fresident woodmansee OF Cincinnati.
The credentials committee had but one
| contest to dispose of. 1t was from Illinois,
This was decided in favor of the regulars
the anti-Tanner men being given no repre-
sentation. The report OF the committee was
adopted as read. Mr.. woodmansee then
addressed the convention. his remarks
being frequently applauded.
The committee on time and place OF To-
cation for the next convention held an
other session today. but did not agree on q
report. 1t is quite probable that the mat
ter viii be turned over to the executive
committee Of the league, to be settled DUR
ing recess.
The committee on resolutions Will present
a report indorsing the administration Of
President Mckinley and the course of Com
gress in providing for the war and the an
nexation Of Hawaii. and will also eulogize
the administration of President Crawford
of the league.
The committee on league work has some
changes to suggest in the organization for
the purpose of extending the scope of the
league 1t now appears that the race for
the Presidency of the league Is between
Dingley of Michigan, formerly OF Maine.
and Boyle of Maryland, with the chances
seemingly in favor OF Dingley. 1t is as
serted that the Pennsylvania forces have
given up the idea Of electing Sobel OF Erie,
and will give their support to Dingley.
