to the state convention to vote on
appointment of delegates to nation

delegate at the meeting should ex-
press his opinion concerning the
presidential possibilities.

stated that he had been for Hughes
up to short time since when 1t ap-
peared that the middle west would be
lost by instructing for him. He
thought it better to have vote on

as a guide for the delegates sent, but
to give no instructions. On the

surprise. Taft being the first choice
of and the second choice of del
egates; Hughes the first choice of
