SPECIAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALL


CHICAGO, June 16.-With
the opening of the fourteenth re-
publican national convention
there came the sharp crack OF
signal gun, giving ample notice
of the commencement of one of
the greatest fights in the history
of the party. 1t is not a ques-
ton of principles and policies.
Men have been lost sight of. 1t
begins to look as if the struggle
over the money plank at the ST.
Louis convention in 1896 was
mere skirnish as compared with
the labor battle over the anti
injunction plank which is now
going on.
The convention, which adj
journed at 2::30 o'clock today to
await the committee reports, will
.reassemble at noon tomorrow.
There is good prospect that the
credentials committee will be
able to report at that hour, in
which case permanent organiza-
ton will be effected at once,
with Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts in the
chair.
The resolutions committee, in
which the heavy fighting is in progress,
may require much more time before 1t
can report the platform
Taft's nomination is still assured.
but the vice presidency is in the air
pending the decision of the contest

sion plan agreed upon by the president
and congress-.
The California delegation signalized
the opening OF the fourteenth national
republican convention today with tho
only sectional parade that been made
by any one, quite unlike any that will
be made during the convention. Head
ed by military band the Californians
led the coast state and Hawaiian dele
cations. augmented by large contin-
gents from the respective states and
territories in parade from the Audito-
rum to the Coliseum.
The California delegation and alter

which, in open marching order, nearly
reached the length of the block be-
tween Michigan avenue and Wabash
avenue. The Hawaiian delegation which
as the guest of the Californians at their
handsome headquarters followed Cal
ifornia, and the islanders were fol-
lowed in turn by Nevada, Idaho, Col
orado and Utah.
Each delegation unfurled large ban
ners and the California delegates car
ried canes adorned with neat Califor-
MIA remnants done IN orange on blue
fields.

Taft Stands Pat Upon
Platform PlankS
Secretary Insists on His Anti
Injunction, Tariff, Railroad
and Other Proposals
SPECIAL DISPATCH no THE CALI

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Secretary
Taft has wired Frank H. Hitchcock at
Chicago, insisting in most vigorous
fashion that the anti-injunction plank
as drawn must be put in the platform
and calling on his friends to stand by
him. He tells Hitchcock that he has
been for such legislation as the plan
proposes for years, and says in sub
stance that he believes it right because
it will protect labor from abuses by
the courts. He says. further. that the
president is for it and that it embodies
one of the presidents policies and one
OF his own.
Not only was it made known here
that this telegram had gone to Hitch
cock, but it was declared in administra-
tion quarters that both Taft and the
president would fight for the anti-in-
junction plank until the sun goes
down." 1t was asserted that they
would refuse any compromise on this
important matter
Not only is Secretary Taft insisting
upon the anti-injunction plank. but
there are other platform features he
considers Indispensable. They are a
strong tariff revision plank, declara-
tion for government control of railroad
capitalization and planks for postal
savings banks and for parcels post on
rural delivery routes. Instructions have
been sent to Chicago to fight for these
planks to the utmost.

mond, is in bad" but it is only fair to
George Knight to say that he is in no
way responsible for the situation and
that quite to the contrary he and De
Young have had two vigorous vocal
encounters on account of what all the
Californians are pleased to consider
as DE Young's foolishness"
Borah did approach Knight on the
subject of the vice presidency, saying,
IF you will get into this we will come
to the Missouri river for you and then
farther"
Knight promptly declined to permit
the use of his name. According to
Knights own statement there was no
suggestion on the part of Borah that
the Idaho senator was authorized to
speak for President Roosevelt.
KNIGHT FOR FAIRBANKS
Knight, with majority of the Cali
fornia delegation, is for Fairbanks for
second place, possibly not so much from
personal choice as from belief that
Fairbanks nomination is on the slate.
De Young is still for Hammond, and
while neither he nor Knight will admit
that there has been anything like
row, I know that knight has taken
General Michel Henri to task and has
told him, rather more pointedly than
politely, to keep quiet
Knight is unquestionably trying to
play the Taft cards the way they ap-
pear to be set up and that he has the

tariff be taken up and completed before
the present campaign to avoid the pos
sibility of disastrous tinkering of those
schedules of first Importance to Califor-
MIA by the democratic congress which
General George Stone seems to fear Will
be elected In November.
The congressional program is for the
formulation of plan of revision by the
special committee and an extra session
for tariff legislation, to be called i'm
mediately after the Inauguration Of the
vice president.
Stone has discovered that this is a
dangerous scheme. He argued today
that If the next congress should be
democratic the extra session. to which
the republican party will be pledged,
might result, and probably would result
in deep cuts in the dried fruit schedules
MAS fruit industry.
Henry Il. Oxnard heard Stones plant
and it at once occurred to him that
the sugar schedules might also be tink-
cred. He promptly proclaimed his un-
alterable opposition to that sort of van
dalism and he and Stone started on a
hurried quest for Judge Fl. A. Mel
vim. California's n amber Of the plat
form committee.
OPPOSITION TO PRESIDENT
Stone was unwilling to leave the fight
entirely with Melvin and meeting was
called for tomorrow morning, when an
attempt will be made to instruct the
Oakland jurist to upset the extra ses-

confidence of some of Taft's managers
is beyond question. Undoubtedly IL he
had cared to permit the use of his
name as 'favorite SON. candidate he
could have forced De Young to drop
Hammond, could have been formally
indorsed by the California delegation,
and could have made the same kind of
showing that is being made by other
favorite sons who are helping to keep
the vice presidential situation in the
air until after Taft's nomination is
formally accomplished.
HEPBURN CHANGES VOICES
That Borah could have made good on
his promise to come to the Missouri
river for Knight is quite another mat
ter. In Borah's own delegation he
would find trouble Senator Hepburn
is pulling for Fairbanks and the value
of his pull was made apparent an hour
after the Idaho delegation arrived in
Chicago Before the Idaho squad
reached Chicago 1t had q complimentary
vote for Hammond framed up. With
Hammond out of the way, Hughes was
the choice of a majority of the delega-
ton.
An hour after they arrived in Chicago
and met Hepburn the Idaho men had no
vice presidential candidate, but were
inclined to think that Fairbanks might
be forced to take the nomination after
the presidential fight was over.
Utahs delegation is instructed for
Hammond. Senator Nixon. who is cred
tied with some influence in the Nevada
delegation, is for Fairbanks and ex-
poets that the Indiana man will be
nominated.
With Hughes. who was the choice of
a majority of the Californians, out of
the race, the delegation has no choice
for vice president. 1t Is expected to
take the program. 1t is prepared to
take the program and 1t expects to
vote for Fairbanks.
The California delegation will meet
tomorrow morning to formulate a de-
mand that the proposed revision OF the

The second extension on the Smith
