INSISTING ON ROOSEVELT.
Kansas and Colorado Declare Thati
He Must BE Nominated.
/ The strong Roosevelt sentiment was
emphasized last night by the action OF,
! the Kansas delegation In deciding unan-I
imously to support the New Yorker,
for vice president. The delegation de-
I termined to clinch the decision on the
spot, and, headed by Judge Burton,
chairman of the delegation, the menu
! bers called upon Governor Roosevelt
at his room. There, despite Roosevelt's
urgings, the Kansans declared their
4 intention to vote for him for the vice
presidential nomination.
Z The Pennsylvania delegation, after
s re-electing M. S. Quay chairman of the
delegation on Monday, took a vote on
s the vice presidency, which resulted:
! Roosevelt, So; Root, L; Long, 1; Bliss,
2 /; excused from voting, z; absent, 2.
Z 1t is understood that the 50 will in
sist on casting their votes for the New
: Yorker.
That other state delegations favor
4 the plan OF nominating Roosevelt des-
: pite his declination was shown IN the
y action of the Colorado delegates this
{ morning in adopting the Kansas reso-
; lutiops. Wisconsin, which voted to
5 support Roosevelt at the outset and
then reconsidered the vote, is still for
4 Roosevelt, but will support any man
satisfactory to the administration. This
is the position of several other delega-
lions, but the Kansans are working
hard to get them In line for New York s
popular governor.
q The Kentucky delegation held a con-
ference last night to consider the vice
! presidential situation. The delegates
came instructed for former Governor
Bradley, but in view of the popularity
Of Governor Roosevelt 1t was deemed
expedient to change their plans. Dur
ing the consultation Mr.. Bradley posi-
; lively refused to have his name pre-
sented to the convention. The dele
cation was polled and it Is said will
vote solidly for any candidate satisfac-
tory to the administration.
= The next serious proposition that
confronts Mr.. Hanna is what he shall
do as between Long and polliver
There Is popular sentiment for Dol
liver in the west that is hard to over
come. Long Is regarded as a passive
kind OF candidate, and while no OBJ
{ lection is urged against him he does
not attract the delegates. But he Is
Mr.. Hanna's personal choice, and f.
= preferred by the president.
