THE FASHION
WILL MASSACHUSETTS
INSTRUCT FOR CANDIDATE?
Especial to The Sentinel.

Boston, April 9.-Political bees
are buzzing in lively manner in the
Hub today, scores of the represen-
tatives of the various presidential
aspirants arriving in the city today
to look after the political fences of
their candidates in tomorrow Re
publican state convention. 1t is al
most certain that no preference will
be manifested by the convention for
any candidate, Senator Lodge and
other leaders having decided that
such an Endorsement would probably
lead to factional fights.
Postmaster General George Won l..
Meyer, who is close friend and adj
mirer of his cabinet colleague. Sec
retary Taft, will be chairman of the
convention. which will be held in
fremont Temple at 1890 O'Clock to-
morrow morning to select four dele
gates at large to the Republican ma
tional convention in Chicago. George
e. Smith. eX-president of the senate,
a believer in an unpledged delega-
tion, warm supporter of eX-Gov-
ernor w. Murray Crane, and now
harbor and land commissioner, ap-
pointed by Governor Crane, will be
chairman of the committee on reso-
lutions.
Tomorrow's convention will be the
largest in the history of Massa-
chusetts, with 1,550 delegates. The
apportionment has been made from
the vote of last fall on an allotment
of one delegate for each first rs
votes for Governor and one addi-
tional delegate for each succeeding
159 votes or a fractional part of that
number as large as rs votes. In
terest in the state convention centres
mainly in the effort of the Taft peo-
pie to force a resolution of prefer
ence for that candidate. They no
longer ask to secure definite
pledge binding the delegates to the
national convention to vote for the
secretary of war. The only other
matter of interest is the selection of
fourth delegate at large to accom-
pany Lodge. Crane and Bates.
