LEAGUE ISSUE.
National Chairman Jones Indicates
Sentiment Of Men Directing
Party Affairs.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 13.-Contrary to
expectations. 1t is said today by prominent
delegates to the prohibition national con-
vention there will not be bitter fight
over Endorsement of the Anti-saloon
League by the convention here this week
The sentiment Of the men directing affairs
in the party is epitomized by National
Chairman Charles r. Jones of Chicago
who said today:
mo delegate will have the temerity to
introduce resolution indorsing the Anti
saloon League. The sentiment of the
convention is against it. There will be
no fight on this proposition"
On the other hand, some of the anti
saloon men insist that they will bring the
question to the attention of the conven-
uon. The fight was expected by some to
open at the state convention Of the pro-
hlbition party this afternoon. but the
general opinion seemed to be that there

The prohibition national convention will
convene In Memorial Hall Wednesday,

to select the temporary officers.
Delegates in Special Trains.
The delegates from the northwest are
coming in two special trains from Chi.
cago. New England delegates will start
from Boston on a special train. A special
train is also coming from New York.
The fight for the nomination for Presi.
dent started today in earnest. when many
OF the delegates began coming in. Ac-
cording to high officials of the party
Seaborn Wright of Georgia must soon
state his position or he will have no show
for the nomination. Mr.. Wright has an
enthusiastic following, but he has not yet
said whether he will or will not accept
the nomination. Rev. s. H. Taft of Cali
fornia arrived here today as delegate
He said:
Il am a relative of Judge William H.
Taft, the republican nominee for Presi-
dent, but I would not vote for him if he
were my father Any man who would
advise the people Of Oklahoma to vote

WANTS ASSURANCES GIVEN
BOURNE's SUGGESTION AS TO
TAFT's ACCEPTANCE LETTER.
Says. Pledge Should Be Given Not to
influence Choice Of His
Successor.

Judge Taft's letter Of acceptance is
engaging the attention Of a good many
republican politicians these days. The
latest suggestion Is that the republican
candidate for the presidency put into
this letter a reputation of the methods
by which President Roosevelt brought
about his nomination by the convention
at Chicago. Senator Bourne Of Oregon,
the original and ever-present-up to
the time of the nomination-second
elective-term boomer, is responsible for
this idea.
Believes He Was Justified.
Mr. Bourne wanted the President re-
nominated up until the last minute, and
to the last minute predicted that he
would be. Now he is disposed to criti-
else Mr.. Roosevelt for picking out a
successor and influencing his nominal
ton. The statement attributed to the
Oregon senator is in part as follows:
ut is not only the right. but the duty,
of every member of a great political
party to express his preference in the
selection of his party's candidates for
public servants. 1 had my preference
for the office OF President and expressed
it, giving reasons therefor, and had no
second choice. l believed the country's
and the party's choice was Theodore
Roosevelt. the remarkable demonstra-
ton at the mention of his name during
the second day of the national conven-
ton verifying this opinion.
LAS a result Of the methods employed
to nominate Secretary Taft, residuary
legateeship in the White House is more
imminent. having this precedent. than
perpetuity of dynasty in a monarchy,
where natural causes operate to ex-
tinguish families.
Suggestion to Taft.
secretary Taft's letter Of acceptance
should anticipate democratic opposition
in respect to this matter and in terms
quiet apprehension for the future. He
should state specifically that If the peo-
pie elect him as their chief public serv-
ant he will to the best of his ability
serve the people as long as they com
mand him SO to do. but when his party
or the electorate relieve him of service
he will in no manner attempt to select
his successor other than to give loyal
support to his party's selection. He
should make plain and should elucidate
the terms Of the platform touching la
Dor and capital. for together with their
respective Authorizations they consti-
tute the whole industrial force of So
ciety and are the chief concerns OF
government.
AFTER all, I anchor my political faith
in the intelligent patriotism of the
American electorate as 1t finds express
sion through the great republican party
which may some time list, but never
founder. and in this confidence l accept
the DEGREES and the candidates of the
Chicago convention and pledge them
my loyal adherence and support IN No
yember."

KAISER SLOW IN

Proposed Congress of Euro

Be Accepted in the End.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-No announce

at Berlin between NJ. iswolsky, the Rus
sian foreign minister and Prince Won Bue-
low. the German chancellor The confer
ence. so far as can be learned. has scored
no definite results, and will be continued
on Monday.
Advices from Berlin. however, have in
no wise lessened the confidence here that
the proposed International congress will
ultimately be accepted by Germany. al
though the negotiations are apt to be con-
tinued for some time after the return of
NJ Iswolsky. The invitation to take part
in the congress. therefore, will be CORE
spondingly delayed. NJ. Iswolsky. inter
viewed by the Noyoe Nremya Berlin cor
respondent today. declared that Austria's
action was a blow at vital Slav interests
and thae the indignation OF the Russian
press and public could easily be under
stood, but he asked the public to suspend
Judgment with regard to his activity in
this connection until his return to Rus
STA. when he hoped with the emperor S
permission TO make a statement before
the duma.
1t is reported that the Octoberists in the
duma have decided 10 support the foreign
minister, but President Khomykoff in an
interview said that Russia should refuse
to recognize the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, which was a mere prelude
to further aggressions on the part of Aus
tria-Hungary- He also was opposed to
the opening of the Dardanelles urging
that Russia's interests could be better
served with the straits in the hands of
friendly Turkey.
The news of the proposed NRit of the
Servian crown prince was the most inter-
esting development today. The coming to
St Petersburg of the young Servian who
has been uttering warlike sentiments is
regarded in certain diplomatic circles as
direct menace TO peace, since it is believed
the favors shown to him here will encour-
age the war party in Servia But 1t is be-
lieved in other quarters that the prince
has been given permission to accept the
envoy TO St. Petersburg in order to give
the Servian government better chance
