CHICAGO. June l0.-The national coup-

Taft delegates in dispute. including the
four delegates at large. for North Carolina
and the four Taft district delegates Tor

Senator Foraker's home district. Thus
Foraker will have two halves or one whole
vote in the convention from his State.
1t is not certain that the name of Foraker
or of Hughes will be presented to the oon-
vention. Senator Dick has been advised
to-day not to present Senator Foraker's
name for the reason that the Roosevelt

testants who favored the great Republican
Senator from Buokeyeland, and the four
Hughes contestants from Missouri. all that

day said.
Il know it has been charged that the Taft
people of the COMMITTEES have been riding
roughshod over everything. I want to
say, however. that. all the contests that
have been settled by the national COM
mittee have been decided strictly on their
merits and on the evidence presented.
There has been no rough riding over any
body"
But Fairbanks, Cannon and Knox are to
stick. although by 50 doing they but dis
close their weakness. Tho young leu-
tenants OF the three warriors Of the Re-
publican party are tonight oarrolling this
ditty:
II the day looks kinder gloomy
And your chances kinder slim.
II the situatlon's puzfing
And the prospect awful grim.
And perplexities keep prrssin
TIL all hope is nearly gone
just bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on
Fumin' never wins night
And frettin' never pays
There amt no good In broodin' In
Those pessimisuc ways:
Smile just kinder chcerfully
When hope is nearly gone.
And briste UP and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.
There ain't no use In growlln'
And grumblin' all the time
When musc's rngtn' everywhere
And everything's In rhyme: F
Just keep ON smilin' cheerfully
II hope Is nearly gone.
And bristle UP and grit your teeth
And keep on keepln on.
Either George B. Cortelyou Of New York,
Curtis Guild of Massachusetts,, Jonathan
P. Dolliver of Iowa or Charles W. Fair
banks of Indiana, it may be said, would
be satisfactory to Taft as q companion
on the ticket and comparatively satisfao-
tory in the order named. II may be said
further that it looks to-day as IL the Sec
retary of the Treasury was the more likely
to find himself the man whose name will
accompany that of the ohioan.
Senator Lodge, it is stated, does not
believe Gov. Guild has the remotest chance
for the nomination and scarcely believes
the situation to be worth his time or great
oratorical efforts on his part; yet Gov:
Guilds friends are urging Senator Lodge
not to take that Indifferent view OF the
matter, but, like the allied Presidential
candidates, to keep on keepin' on,
Lafayette Young OF Des Moines agrees
with National Committeeman Hart OF Lows
that Senator Dolliver should remain In
the Senate. Mr.. Young said:
i don't believe there is a man In Iowa;
Republican or Democrat, who doesnE COD
cede that, as far as the personality Of Dol.,
liver is concerned, he would make an 49,
mirable candidate for vice-Presideait Axle
an equally satisfactory vioe-President.
but Senator DolliYer is the present head
Of the Republican party In Iowa as the
natural result Of the victory OF Senator
Allison and himself over Gov. Cummins.
and his selection for the second place oh
the ticket with Taft would relight the Ares
Of faotionalism, which we hope have begun
TO die down since the primaries OF last week.
"We have had bitter fight In Iowa bs.
tween two sets Of Republicans for ten yeaxs.
The so-called progressives have been led
by Gov Cummins and fuel has been
added to the factional fires by the
attachment Of some $1,000 Democratic to
the side Of the progressives. That action
was taken by the Democrats for two reasons
first. there is no Democratic party In
