CUMMINS HAS CALL
 FOR SECOND PLACE

Washington, June 1S.-Apprehension that any further indication of the pre- ference of Secretary Taft in the mat ter of his running mate on the repub
 lican ticket might jeopardize his chances for the presidential nomina- tion having been removed by the re- suit of the first ballot at Chicago to- day, significant hints were dropped to-
 night that the same reason for re- straint in that matter no longer ex- isted. It Is known that there has been a constant exchange of telegrams be- tween Washington and Chicago regard ing the procedure in the convention to
 morrow and attention is being called to the fact that the President, sec
 onded by Secretary Taft only 4S hours ago, allowed the statement to emanate from the White House that either Sen ator Deliver or Governor Cummins of Iowa would be acceptable as second on the ticket, with Secretary Taft. AS Senator Deliver has already signified his indisposition to accept the nomi- nation, it Is therefore deduced that the logical administration candidate '' the man who first opened in the west the great questions of tariff reform at the hands of the republican party.

HITCHCOCK MAY BE THE MAN.
Henry Taft Says Chairman of National
 Committee Is To Be Named.

Chicago, June 1S-(Special.) )-'The chair manship of the next republican national committee will not be decided until after the ticket has been named' This was the official announcement made by Henry Taft, speaker for the Taft organization. Tt will be determined then by the can didate and by a subcommittee from the national committee. The chairman must be acceptable to both the candidate and the committee continued MT. Taft. Until the nomination has been made and the new committee has taken the matter of the chairmanship under consid- eration, nothing will be decided upon.
 Until that time has been reached any statement which purports to commit the friends of MT. Taft to any particular man for this position is entirely without authority or foundation
 Those who claim to know the inside plans. however, declare that Frank H. Hitchcock will head the committee, that he is known to be the choice of the ma jority of the national committee as well as Secretary Taft.

ROOSEVELT GIVES
 VIEWS ON RESULT

Washington, June 18.-Immediately on receiving news of the nomination of Sec retary Taft for tn presidency, President Roosevelt said:
 T feel that the country is indeed to be congratulated upon the nomination of MT. Taft. I have known him intimately for many years, and I have a peculiar feel ing for him because through that time we worked for the same object with the same purposes and ideals. I do not believe there could be found in all the country man so well fitted to be president He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely dsinterested and upright, but he has the widest acqupaintance with the nations needs, without and within, and the broad est sympathies with all our citizens. He would bo as emphaticaly a president of the plain people as Lincoln; not yet Lin- coin himself would be freer from the least taint of demagogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of any kind. He has peculiar and intimate knowledge of and sympathy with the needs of all our people-of the farmer, of the wage worker, of the business man, oe the property owner. No matter what a mans occupation or social position, no matter what his creed, his color or the section of the country from which he comes, if he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that he will have in MT. Taft the most upright of representatives and the most fearless of champions. MT. Taft stands against privilege and he stands emphatically for the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the foundation of our well being.'

 Vice Presidency.

Chicago, June 1s.-The Iowa delega- ton in caucus tonight finally went on record for Governor Cummins as their candidate for Secretary Taft's running mate. The vote was unanimous. The firm stand taken by majority of the delegation against Mir. Deliver, because of the situation in Iowa and MT. Dolli- ver's own announcement that he did not desire the nomination, necessltated the meeting in order that a candidate might be decided upon. Having in mind the understood preference of the administra- tion for Governor Cummins, his name was fully discussed. At no time did the opponents of Senator Deliver waver. Twenty-four of the 26 delegates were present, the motion to place the name of Governor Cummins before the conven- tion being made by Lafayette Young of Des Moines. The two absentees, it was stated, will join with their colleagues in supporting Governor Cummins. Rob- ert Healey of Fort Dodge was designated to make the nominating speech.

 MT. Chairman: On the request of Gov. Hughes and of the United New York delegation, I move that the nomination of William H. Taft be made unanimous"
 Senator Penroe of Pennsylvania and Representative Boute1l, Illinois, both clamored for recognition. The former was given the first chance and he moved to make the nomination unanimous. MT. Boutell seconded the motion and Indiana, whose delegation with Wisconsin and the Foraker delegates followed suit. The mo- ton was put by the chairman and carried with shout.
 said the chairman, and the last cheer of the day was given in response

SOUTHERN STATES WILL
SOLVE THEIR OWN
PROBLEMS
General Evans Says Only
People of the South Treat
Negroes With Kindness.
ANY INTERFERENCE
WILL BE MISDIRECTED

Birmingham, Ala. June 1O.-The
feature of this mornings session of
the Confederate veterans was a
speech by General c. A. Evans, who
is slated to succeed General Lee as
commander of the veterans associa-
ton. General Evans said in part:
The southern states have their own
problems which they desire to solve
for the common good. 1t is true also
that there are other questions not ex-
clusively southern, in which the peo-
pie Of the south are concerned equal
ly with all citlzens--such for instance
as the general questions of the just
relations between the states, and be-
tween any state and the general gov
ernment But even this problem
was made local as to the southern
states and became aCutely sectional
in the years between 1850 and 1851
when the circumstances that African
slavery had become an institution
was used to create a dangerous south
ern problem. After many unsuccess-
full expedients, the states in the south
fled for refuge to secession and that
being denied they were forced to fight
and having failed in that, they sur
negotiations or war.
Hence the old disturbing presence
in our country OF a people OF African
descent became more serious than
ever because the problem was loaded
from 1865 with new and insupport-
able conditions. These negroes in the
southern states were merely turned
loose with nothing but the power to
I -..gH -
tions. They were not offered homes
anywhere except in the south, and
they fell as q load on the southern
people. But the south assumed the
burden; and the assertion is here
made that no body OF people in any
age OF the world has treated this ne
gro race with real kindness except the
people of the southern states.
All nations have enslaved them and
not one has trained them into that
physical, intelligent. moral manhood
which is the indisputable qualification
of a valuable population. For exam
pie consider the negroes in Africa un-
der European race. The southern
states have over six millions OF this
race to care for and the southern
people are qualified to execute the
trust justly. heney1lently and for the
general welfare
IL is therefore insisted that The

poses TO righteously solve this prob
lem shall cease, for whatever the
motive may be, such Interference isl
