Hit as strongly as possible.
The continued silence of Senator
Fairbanks as to his pleasure regarding
the Vice. Presidential nomination was
the base of the vigorous movement
toward Representative Hit. The
opinion was strongly expressed at the
that at least until Senator Fairbanks
announced himself there was no rea-
son why an active campaign for Hit
should not progress. Each delegate
was commanded to 60 forth and hus-
tie for Hit. Graeme Stewart. the Illi-
nos member of the national commit
tee, Was nominally put In charge OF
these endeavoIs. While the work of
single report. each worker heard from
has encouraging news for the Hit
boom.
Delegates generally express the view
that Senator Fairbanks should indi-
cate his desire one way or the other.
In the absence of this indication and
with positive assurance that Illinois
Is Sc. ious in the Hit candidacy. many
State delegates seem willing to march
under the Hit banner.
The members of the Rhode Island
delegation arrived this afternoon and
opened headquarters in the Great
Northern Hotel.
I'VE expect to play a negative part
In,
ander. one of the delegates. I'VE have
no especial candidate for Vice-Presi-

while No formal meeting had been held
a majority of them were favorable
banks for second place.
The present position of the New
York delegation with respect to the
V.ce-Presideney was stated tonight BY
Senator Deoew. At first he said the
delegates thought 1t would be a pic

Fairbanks
With one exception the New Hamp-
shire delegation is for fairbanks. SEN

the ability of the remaining members
10 bring over the anti Fairbanks dele
gate.
The Massachusetts delegation ar
rived with an idea that Hit would
be the candidate. but after the dele
gates had been here a few hours they
decided 10 wait until tomorrow before
announcing preference. Several
delegates said that the Illinois people
seemed to have got to work rather
slowly and that 1t would be wiser for
Massachusetts to withhold action.
Another meeting of the Illinois dele
sat.on is scheduled for tomorrow,
when the craftsmanship question will
be settled. Both Senator Cullom and
Governor Yates are aspirants for this
honor.

ga, ding the selection of his running
mate. Both Senator Lodge and Secre-
tary Root said this to all the delegates
who approached them on the subject.
Speaking for themselves. the close
friends of the Pres dent say they do
not doubt that Fairbanks would be
accpetable to Mr.. Roosevelt. but they
are not willing that the Presidents
name should be dragged in to assist
The Indiana Senator's nomination.
Through an envoy of several North
western delegation who called on the
President several days ago and in
their behalf exoi essed a wish to sup
port the man he preferred. the Presi-
dent has sent word that while he ap-
preciates the compliment he will
leave this entirely to the convention.
Senator McCumber OF North Dakota
has come out for Fairbanks and

ator Fairbanks more enthusiastic
supporters to have an Alabama dele
