C. Speight, while Senator-elect Brad
ley spoke for the Dcboe or antl-Taft
interests.
Sonator-elect Bradley merely fol-
lowed the brief that had been given
him. He said he was repeating evil
donce which had been given him and
of which he had no personal knowl-
edge. The 9Th Kentucky district was
next called.
In view of the Importance of the
9Th Kentucky district. which is the
city of Louisville, the time allotted
each side was extended The fight
here was between the Fairbanks men.
Mr.. Bradley declared in his statement
to the committee that if that body
supported the claims of the Taft peO-
pie and upheld the methods used by
them, he could not guarantee that
Kentucky would be found in the Re-
publican column in November.
Clayton Blakey of Louisville in re-
plying to Senator Bradley, declared
that the latter had Stumped the state
of Kentucky in the interests of Fair
banks, and had made similar state
ment in all of his speeches. He also
declared that Bradley had said in let
ters that if Taft was nominated, Ken
lucky could not go Republican.
That statement is untrue" broke
Senator Bradley.
1T is not untrue" replied Mr.. Blakey.
The statement appeared in all reports
of your speeches and received one of
your letters containing it, as did my
friends | am only sorry that | did

easily be procured as evidence" Sen
atOr Bradley made no reply.
Norris Belknap of Louisville also
spoke for the Taft forces. The com
mittee decided the contest in favor OF
the Tai: delegation.
The contests in the 9Th and 11th
Kentucky districts, which We're imme-
diately called, We're settled in short
order, Senator Bradley declined 10 con-
tinue his arguments and announced
that he would appeal to the credentials

The contests in these two districts were
then dismissed.
Immediately after the national com
mittee ISSUED the following official
bulletin:
'Senat Or Bradley announced that the
convention tests in the 9Th and 18th
kentucky districts would not be argued
before the national committee. but
would be reserved for presentation to

pute this ruling of the committee and
claim that an appeal to the credential
committee will be in order.
From Kentucky the committee nass-

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge OF Mas
sachusetts as temporary chairman OF
the Republican antional committee
will be. it is said, based largely on the
proposition that the welfare of the
party demands that the policies pur
sued by President Roosevelt be up
held.
II is expected that the address will
require about 20 minutes for it's de-
livery. and the speaker will emphasize
the point that the people of the coun-
try at large are strongly in favor OF
the policies of the present administra-
ton and that future Republican sue
cess depends upon following them out
without hesitation and will all pos
siblc energy.
The third term proposition will be
touched upon lightly, but the speaker
will point out that all the talk has
been made about it is evidence that
the country desires for President a
man who will follow in the lines laid
down by President Roosevelt.
Rooms reserved early in the year at
the Auditorium hotel by Leslie NJ.
Shaw, former secretary of the treas
ury as political headquarters, were
today given up by Mr. Shaw. who tel
egraphed the management that he de-
sired to keep but one of the rooms for
himself
It was announced today by Trey
Woodson, secretary of the Democratic
national committee, that a meeting of
the subcommittee on arrangements
will be held here on June 16 to select
temporary offices for the national con-
vention at Denver and to dispose of
such other business as may be sub
mitted to it,
The anti-Taft people today evolved
plan to prevent Southern delegations
from hereafter controlling Republican
conventions. They declare that they
will submit it to the convention next
| week. The idea is identical with the
plan proposed in the Republican ma
tional convention of 1900 by Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania but which fail
ed of passage at that time. This plan,
if adopted, will give to each state four
delegates at-large and one for every
1000 Republican votes cast at the last
preceding Presidential election. This
would cut off approximately 100 del
egates from the Southern states and
add approximately $50 to the Northern
states. All of the Northern states
would gain except Massachusetts, and
Nevada. These would lose one dele
gate each. Ohio would increase by II
and Indiana by II.
