The initial steps looking to a contest Of
the seat Of Lewis Emery. jr., who was
elected a delegate TO the Republican na-
tional convention from the Twenty-frst
Pennsylvania district. have already been
taken. and the supporters of Senator
Knox viii use every effort to prevent him
from securing a seat in the convention.
Emery has announced his intention of
voting for Secretary Taft, notwithstand-
ing that the sentiment of his district is
strongly for Knox, and that the Repub-
lican State convention of Pennsylvania
hqs twice unanimously indorsed Knox as
the States only candidate for President.
In view of The fact that Emery has run
for Congress on the Democratic ticket,
that he ran for governor ON the Demo-
cratic ticket only two years ago. and
stood upon the Democratic platform
which declared that Bryan was the GER
tain successor Of Roosevelt and that
Roosevelt's administration was a feeble
imitation Of Bryans policies. the Repub-

not entitled to sit in the Chicago con-

doned and unless there should be a
radical change in the situation before
the delegates assemble at Chicago, the
name of Fairbanks will not be presented
to the convention.
Some OF the more conservative friends
of the Vice President have felt from the
start that he could stand little chance
with an administration candidate I'm the
field, and as the selection of delegates
has progressed, with the odds increasing
against him, they would advise him to
quit the field but for the fact that such
advice might be construed as disloyalt.

AT one time Gov. Hughes could have
gotten a majority OF the delegates as
second choice, but. with the growing
certainty Of Taft's nomination, members
of the delegation have been gradually
turning to the Secretary of War, and if
Fairbanks withdraws, the thirty Indi-
ana votes will go TO the Taft column.
Several days ago a movement in
favor Of inaugurating a boom for the
old ticket was begun, and some of the
delegates have said that they would ad-
vocate the nomination Of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks again. and would try to STAN
pede the convention. Others on the dele
cation oppose such action. saying that
IL would not be good policy for Indiana
to suggest the old ticket after Fairbanks
had tried for first place, and had failed
