to Fight For La Toilette
to the End.

Chicago, june t5.-Thc caucus of
the Michigan delegates late today wa
marked by a lively struggle over the
question as to who should repres mt
the state on the resolutions comm t
tee. With the exception of two dele
gates from enc district. the delega.
tion is strongly for Taft and it was
desired by Taft's friends that an out
and-out Taft man should be on tn s
committc and a Taft representative,
Or. Dallas Boudell, of Kalamazoo,
was nominated.

Opposed to him was Joseph w.
Fordney, OF Saginaw. the original
Cannon man in Michigan aud one Of
the first members Of the lower horse
of congress to Suggest the speakers
name for the presidency FOrdney is
instructed for Cannon. After a sharp
discussion a vote was taken Fordney
winning, t3 to II. one blank ballot
and enc marrcd being thrown out
The Taft delegates did not take the
defeat of their man too seriously
and after the caucus declared the
election of FordneF was in no sens
the result of any feeling, but due In
a large degree to Fordney's popularity
among the delegation
The fact however. that Fordney is
so close to Cannon and that the lat
ter is on the ground hghting against
the antl-injuncton prank makes his
selection a strengthening of Can
mons position in the platform
struggle that is looming up so large
on the convention horizon The Mas
sachrsetts delegation called at the
Michigan Headquarters In the inter
est Of Governor Guilds candidacy for
the vicc presidency, nut were in
formed that Michigan was not IN a

Other state caucuses were equally
Ifruitless in solving the vice president

prize may be thrown in the arena OF
struggle The Dolliycr movement ex.
perienced yaring fortunes today. Early
in the day il was reported that the
White House favored an IoWa1--

But this was offset by the action OF
the Ohio managers, who are SuppI d

Iclaring that the TAFT forces will

thus brought Doliyer stock down

The movement for Sherman or some
other New York man is similarly
checked by the decision Of that state
not to present a candidate for second
place until Hughes name is elimil,

Cannon is Active.
Speaker Cannon remainedd in Chi
caeo all day and took a most active
part in conferences on the platform.
His unexpected advent here last night
for the express purpose of having a
voice in the document has led ot re,
newed consideration Of some details
of the plankss, notably those on in.
junction aud trusts. The speaker was
' tb0' t'l " iNt A9'iih''l iibl'hAil'F i'i''
pective chairman o fthe committee, for
over an hour today and then Hopkins
was clOseted with Wade Ellis, custo-
dian of the platform, and Senator
Long, of Kansas, and Frank b. kel-
logg, Of Minnesota, the only ones to
whom copies have been entrusted.
Cannon's friends be ieve the in
junction and trust planks will be modi-
fed if not eliminated, but the custO-
dian Of the draft has given no eyi-
dence of making any notable changes.
The feature of the trust plank which
is said to have attracted the speakers
solicitude is one which infcrentially
would exempt certain organizations,
labor and farming organizl
tons, from the operation of the law
such exemptions in general
aW have said to have pronounced un
by the supreme court
)f Illinois fifteen years ago.
