MISSOURI Not ALL FOR TAFT
Opposition Working Hopefully Against
Instructions for Delegates.

81. LOUIS, Jan. 22.-AIissouri's thirty-six
votes in the Chicago convention will not be
oast solidly for William II. Taft for Presi-
dent. This much il certain, although the
anti-Taft men are saying little for publica-
ton.
Under the State committees call the
various Congress districts will elect two
delegates each, responsible only to thecon-
vention electing them. Some will be in
struoted, but those against Taft will be
uninstructed. No matter il two-thirds Of
them are for Taft, they cannot bind the
other one-Chird except by the adoption of
the unit rule at Chicago.
The State convention in st. Louis FebrlI-
ary 27 will elect four delegates at large and
four RlteTnates. A fight will be made
against instructions for any candidate

venitons at Lancaster, January rs, will be

The feeling that Mr.. Bryan ought to re-

way and he will be told some plain truths
