Special to the Herald.
Chicago, June 13.-The greatest in
teTest today among the republican
politicians here is in the Taft plat
form as outlined. The three PROPOSE
lions in the draft which are expected
to cause hard fight are the anti
Injunction plank, the plank requiring
railroads to get the consent of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to is
sue bonds, and the amendment to the
antitrust law. The fight will now be
iRuan effort TO control the
60 ommittee. The Taft men
wiz insist on II ! nc
ported to the convention without
change, and the opposition will make
a fight to. the finish to have the
three above expressions turned down.
The vice presidency is still open.
Taft leaders are looking to the east
for a candidate.
Hitchcock is now regarded as GER
tain to be the next national chairman.
E. e. Clarke, member of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and for
mer chief of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Conductors, is said to be the real
choice of the Taft leaders for the
vice presidency Clarke's boom was
launched today and received much
favor. The Taft men are said to fear
that John Mitchell will be the run
ming mate of Bryan on the democratic
ticket and they want to offset his
prestige with a popular labor candi-
date on the republican ticket. The
New York delegation to the conven-
ton arrived today Chairman Wood
ruff announced that New York will
claim the vice presidency, but refused
to discuss the name of any probable
candidate.

ALLISON Major.

His life was like a sunny ray
That warmed the precincts Of the day
And made the heart feel light and gay
With sweet celestial, mystic sway.
In street and field in vale and wood.
He lived for human brotherhood:
And ever worked the best he could,
For love and truth he understood.
The poor and weak he helped along
As genial as a summer song,
And never stopped TO fear or wrong.
But ever brave and kind and strong.
Grand Masonry he loved with zest,
And from the East INTO the West
He ever did his Level best
To entertain each Brother guest

him, have been sent to that place Tor

Some time before the arrival Of the

lists OF different nationalities intended

addresses of the conspirators were In
: dicated by information which the police
here had received previously from
France and Germany. The police OF

/ Tho chief OF police, after having
made this official statement. said stha,
he did not feel he should go into any
