PANAMA MOKES
MUST PLAY FAIR
This Government Proposes to
Supervise the Election
on the ISthmuS.

Panama, June Adjudication Of the
letter which the American secretary OF
war William II. Taft, delivered to
President Amador at the time of his
visit to the isthmus, and in which the
intention of the United States gov
eminent to intervene in case of fraud
or violence is plainly set forth, has
caused a sensation here, particularly
among the supporters of Senior Arias,
secretary of state, one of the candl-
dates for the presidency, concerning
whom Secretary Tafts letter makes
special reference.
eThe American secTetary'S commune
cation had been carefully guarded by
President AmadOr since the date of its
receipt by him, it being stated that
not even all the members of his cabi-
net We're cognizant of its contents, and
the plain statements made in the let
ter. now published, have made a deep
impression.
The active participation of the Unit
ed States in the coming elections is the
chief subject of discussion among the
Panamans. as ii is announced that
American commissioners. backed by
sufficient force, will be present at the
polls to supervise the counting of the
votes. so that the legal voters may
have an opportunity 10 elect presi-
dent without danger from fraudulent
methods.
REPRESENTATIVES, of the United States
also will keep watch in the principal
cities during the municipal elections
which take place on Sunday, June %
Intense nervous excitement prevails in
official circles at the present time.

WHITE HOUSE SUGGESTION.
6orah Merely Carrying Out the
Roosevelt Taft Program.

Washington, June 16.-The news of
the launching of the Cummins vice
presidential boom was taken to the
White House by a representative of the
Associated Press while the president
was closeted with members of his
cabinet. Just what reception the news
met could not be learned, but it is
certain that it was not unwelcome.
Secretary Taft himself had nothing to
say on this subject, which was, of
course. consistent with the policy
adopted this morning of refraining
from intervention openly i'm the vice
presidential contest, in order to avoid
1eopardizing the successful working
out of the program for the presidential
nomination But as yesterday, before
the last line of policy was agreed upon,
il was openly stated at the White
House that the administration looked
favorably upon the nomination OF
either Senator Dolliver or Mr.. Cum
Minis. and nothing has happened over
night to bring about a change of mind
There was every reason to believe that
Senator Borah's declaration in favor OF
Cummins was not only very acceptable
to President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft, but had indeed been actually in
stigated at the While House.

Work of Committee Approved.

At the conclusion of the reading of the
call of the convention, there was some
applause. Chairman New announced that
the national committee had recommend
ed Senator ]. c. Burrows of Michigan for
temporary chairman.
A cheer came from the Michigan dele
CATION, in the midst of which the chair
man recognized Nj. +. Olmsted of Penn
sylvania who moved that the recOmmen-
dalton of the committee be. adopted.
John w Blodgett, chairman of the
Michigan delegation, seconded the motion
and il was unanimously adopted
Senator Burrows was warmly received
as he stepped 10 the front of the plat
form extension arranged for the use of
speakers He bowed his Acknowledgements
and began his keynote address at just
1874 p. IN.
Senator Burrows opening words were
spoken in a modulated, but distinct tone.
He constantly referred to the printed copy
of his speech. He had been speaking about
six minutes when he came TO the first
mention of President ROoseYelts name.
Senator Burrows evidently felt just a
little bit excited over the mention of the
president. for he had some difficulty IN
pronOuncing the well-known name. He
was referring TO the convention of four
years ago when, he said, invoking con-

at loss for a new selection simply

The names OF Taft and of Root also

demonstration which have fairly car

There was but one hitch, and that mo-

Louisiana would be represented on any

strains of a stirring national anthem
broke forth as the convention adjourned
and the multitudes dispersed.
Tonight the work of the committees
is proceeding. while hotel corridors con-
tinue TO be the scene of heated discus
sion over the vice presidential situa-
ton and the platform. The permanent
organization of the convention has been
fully outlined by the committee in
charge of the work, with Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts as the permanent
chairman. The work of the commit
tees on credentials and on resolutions
has been marked by greater difficulty
and the reports which come from their
deliberations indicate sharp contention
before the final details Of credentials
