ILLINOIS REPUBLICiNS.
: ghe Coiiom Men In Control After Sharp
~ s..' Contest With the Tanner Faction.

PromA, III. May r. senator Cuom and his
friends won their fight to-day for the control Of
tho Republican State Convention. They
elected Charles q. Dawes Of Chicago temporary
chairman Of tho convention by vote Of 70S to
s20, defeating John. j. Brown Of Nandalia, who
had been selected for the place by the State
Central Committee. This was the first engage
naent in the campaign between the Cullom and
r Tanner forces, which has been going on here
since Sunday morning. This victory was won by
: by a combination composed OF all the elements
In the convention opposed TO Gov. Tanner and
the State organization II included the friends
and supporters of senator Cullom. Of the Guber-
natoral candidates. Reeves, Carter and Yates
In its last analysis it was a fight by the Fed
eral Administration against the party organza-
ton in this Stgtc. Tonight the Cullom men
say they will control all the proceedings and
will dictate the nomination Of every candidate
for State Office from Governor down.
As to the effect of this victor, on the nom
-ination for Governor there Is much vet 10 de-
n yelope in the situation Friends oi Reeves
Carter and Yates joined with the Cullou men
IN obtaining control Of the Temporary organ
izQtion of the convention. All three are still
In the field The name OF each will be pre-
santed TO the convention and until tho roll call
Is had no ono can tell who will be nominated
for Governor. Indications are that the COM
bination of forces that controlled the organ
iIation OF the convention are pledged in some
way to Walter Reeves of Streator The Car
ter people and the Yates people deny this but
Mr. ReeveS'S friends are letting II be under
stood that II 81 all arranged that he will be- the
candidate. The lianrcy mon say that the
roll call on the election of the temporary chair
man shows that at the least 720 delegates IN the
convention will stand by llancCv undcr all con-
dtions They insist also that many delegates
who felt Obliged to vote for Dawes for various
reasons are lree TO vote Us they please on the
Governorshp and that these will come TO
Hanrcy.
There Is great deal Of gossip tonight 10
the effect that Comptroller Dawes will become
a candidate for the uovernoTship. This IL
denied by Mr., Dawes. When ths convention
