EXPECT FAVORABLE END
TO TAFT NEGOTIATIONS
Pope's Request for Impossible Conces-
sions Was Not Unexpected by the
War Department.

The War Department is confident that
the negotiations in progress between
Governor Taft and the Pope will have a
successful termination. There is no
thought on the part of the Secretary of
War to send what might be enormously
termed an ultimatum to the Vatican; in
fact when this statement was published
the actual negotiations between Cow
ernor Taft and the Pope had not begun.
Several days ago the War Department
received a 700-word cablegram from
Governor Taft setting forth the informal
requests of the Vatican for concessions
in connection with the REIMBURSEMENT of
their lands in the Philippine Archipelago.
This, 1t is said at the War Depart
ment. was wholly informal and did not
in the slightest degree preclude the idea
OF successful ending to Governor
Tafts mission. Many of the requests of
the Pope will not, OF course. be grant
ed by this Government, but IL was no
more than was to be expected that lie
should ask for concessions that had no
probability of being acceded to by the
United States Government.

REPUBLICANS PLAN
FOR FALL ELECTIONS
Chicago Delegation Calls on
President Roosevelt.
Present Resolutions Commenting
Course of the Chief
Executive.

Resolutions adopted by the National
Republican League of the United States
at recent meeting in Chicago. indors-
ing the Administration of President
Roosevelt. we're presented to the Execu-
tive yesterday afternoon at the tenn
porary White House by a delegation
consisting of State Senator Isaac Miller
Hamilton. of Illinois; Mr.. William L..
Rohrer. secretary of the league. and
Mr.. James Jay Sheridan, OF the execu-
tive committee.
Plans were talked over for holding a
national convention OF Republican clubs
throughout the country early in the fall.
as a forerurner of the Congressional
elections. Some Western city is likely
to secure the convention, though Phila-
delphia is making n strong bid for 1t.
II the recommendation of the league
officials is followed, as seems probable.
the convention will be held in st. Louis.
The method OF extending the influence
of the League throughout the country
has been to secure the presence of as
many Republican governors as possible
and with them parties of the high State
officials. The carrying out of this plan
usually results In having hundreds OF
prominent party workers on hand. In
consequence, much enthusiasm is gen
Grated at the convention and this is sent
to all parts of the country to be dis
tributed when the delegates go back to
their homes a few weeks before cleo
ton Gay.
At the last convention of the League
in St Paul two years ago. just preced-
ing the Congressional elections. there
were twenty thousand persons in at
tendance at some of the meetings. This
fail The number of delegates alone is
expected to te more than five thousand,
en- which basis the record OF St. Paul
VIII probably be surpassed.
Though the date of the convention
cannot be delayed much beyond the Gus
tor;ary time prior to election day, 1t Is

venticn in the course OF his Western
