mated for vice president by acclama-
tion. The plan is simple, and the re-
suit sought can easily be brought
about There will be no necessity for
roll call. When the time arrives for
nominating a vice president the roll of
states will be called. When Iowa is
reached Delegate Young Will arise and
withdraw Dolliver and place Roosevelt
in nomination. Massachusetts, will

man. This is the plan, and II It is
done there will be no need Of ballot
The stampede which begun on Sunday,
and which seemed to have received a
check on Monday. viii have ended in
the nomination Of Roosevelt.
IA A. part Of this scheme has already
been e8rried out. The convention. did
.ppttprpceed to nominations yesterday
only because all parties in interest
could non be reached. Secretary Longs
friends had not been able to,communi-
cate with him, and they did not feel
authorized to withdraw him until he
could be informed of the situation and
his consent obtained. Il is quite prob
able that had it been possible to gain
Secretary Longs consent both nomi-
nations would have been made yoster-
day. 1t was deemed desirable not to
nominate Mckinley until the conven-
tiOn was also ready to name his rum
ming mate. In fact, it was known that
the plan for nominating Roosevelt by
acclamation was tied up with thenomi-
nation of McKinley'in order to crafty
the wishes of some of the men who
have been pushing RoOsevelts claims
very hard, and those who are engineer
ing the latest arrangement had no OBJ
lection.
There are two men who might possi-
bly, prevent his nomination. but it is
doubtful if even they could stem the
tide. They are William Mckinley and
Theodore Roosevelt. The latter possi-
bly, could do so by making an absolute
declaration that he would not accept
the nomination if made, but now it is
doubtful if even that kind Of a decla-
ration would stop the stampede. II
there was a direct intimaton from the
president that he did not want Roose-
vent nominated it would cause a pause,
but IL would not necessarily prevent
the consummation of the plan for the
selection Of Roosevelt. But It is known
that the president did not want the
administration used to influence the
delegates for or against any candidate.
Mr.. Hanna declared that this had been
the position of the president all along,
and that his wishes had been respected
The free choice of the convention has
been Roosevelt from the first, and it
has been his own personally expressed
wish that he should not be nominated,
together with the earnest work of Mr.
Hanna in the same direction, that has
stayed the tide even for a short time
Roosevelt himself knows that he will
be nominated and will make no fur-
ther statement. nor is there the least
probability that he will decline the
nomination when made This is so
well understood that delegation after
delegation yesterday. either by direct
vote or by general understanding
among themselves, came over to him
and made his nomination assured.

and vice presidential candidates being

Hanna threw up the sponge yesterday.
He found he could not stem the tide
Of the poular favorite without using
the direct influence Of the administra-

not get. Possibly even with It he might
have failed. But without it the task
was hopeless. The president would
have no hand in an effort to control
the convention. He made known di-
rectly to Mr. Hanna his wish that the
will OF the convention should not be
thwarted, and when that unequivocal
word came Mr. Hanna reluctantly
abandoned the fight and last night is
