TAFT !, ;. /.
FIRST BALLOT

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Repub-
lican leaders in congress are now
working earnestly on a plant to pre-
vent any break at the Chicago con-
vention that might disrupt party
harmony and endanger success at
the polls in November. Conferences
have been held at both ends of the
capitol among such men as Senator'S
Aldrich, Hale, Allison and Crane
and Representatives Payne and
Sherman of New York, rawney OF
Minnesota, jenkins of Wisconsin
and Smith of Iowa; in fact. meet
ings of small groups from this list
have been of almost daily occur
renee for more than a week. Ihey
have been directed to one end--a
nomination on the fist ballot by
which they mean William H. TAFT.
Most of the men figuring promi-
.nently in this movement were num-
bered against Taft early in the cam
paign, but party policy and the ne
cessity for harmony which have
been manifest in the republican
marty since the disastrous result OF
the Blaine Conklin feud. has awak-
ened a demand that personal desires
be subordinated to the will OF the
majority. That the efforts of the
group of leaders back of the har-
nony movement have not been par
rem of results, is indicated by the
fact that to number of the con-
ferences have been called such mer
as Senators Hemenway, Penrose
Cullom. Hopkins and Depew ant
Representatives Parsons and Vree

interests of Secretary Taft is the re
