Chicago. June S.--A few handouts
of sand were thrown into the cyiind-
crs of the Taft political machine late
today. So far everything that has
come un has been handled quickly
and decisivcly by the Taft men but
today from their own membership
came proposition to divide the
Louisiana delegation with the opposi-
ton, seating botn the Taft and anti
Taft delegations with halr "a vote each.
| The proposition in itsc'I did not come
as a surprise, but III" number OF
members Of the nauona' committee
who favored the movcmen; created
some CONSERVATION i'm the Tait camp.

involves four delegates at large and
fourteen district delegates, is brought
to vote tomorrow noses viii be

merits of every contest. and i'm TINS
view he is supported by practically
every committeeman from the west
