Taft Will be Nominated on
the First Ballot
RUSH FOR BAND WAGON
Has Been Started, Say Taft Followers
at Chicago--The Landslide Has
Already Begun, If Calculations
Are Correct

Chicago, June l0.--The organized OPP
position to the nomination OF Secretary
Taft admitted itself to badly split to-day
that the Taft followers insist that a
scramble to the band wagon has begun.
According to the closest calculations,
based on figures conceded by the allies,
Taft will receive on the first ballot 55I
votes, or 60 more than enough for a
choice. provided the convention does not
override the decisions now being made
in the contested cases,
The committee yesterday decided six
teen contests, affecting thirty-six dele
gates. OF these, twenty-seven are Taft
men and the remaining nine, all OF whom
are from Louisiana, have tentatively
agreed that they viii cast their votes
for Taft. The contests comprised the
delegates at large In Louisiana and Mis-
souri,, seven districts iii Louisiana, six
districts in Mississippi and one in Mis-
souri,.
The Louisiana contest, which was the
most important of the day, resulted in a
split delegation. the committee decreeing
on division to seat the Lily White or
Taft delegates, and the Black and Tan,
with half a vote for each This agree
ment was not reached until repeated con.
ferenccs and anxious telegraphing and
telephoning between Chicago and Wash
ington. The decision finally reached by
the committee was carried out with the
full consent and approval Of both Secre-
tary Taft and President Roosevelt.
