turn on the balloting ahead, first on
the presidency, and then on the vice
presidency and finally to the adoption
OF the platform pronOuncement to the
country. AS to the presidential nomi-
nation the figures presented by the
Taft men, and to some extent conced-
ed by the other elements, give the
secretary such a commanding lead
that the usual spirit OF a close con-
test Is wanting. "a
The platform came in for renewed
consideration during the day, as SEN
ator Hopkins Of Illinois, who Is to he
chairman of the resolutions commit
tee, held a lengthy conference with
Wade Ellis OF, Ohio who is the Gus
tQdian of the draft OF, the platform
embodying the Roosevelt-Taft ideas.
When questioned as to the platform,
MI. Hopkins remarked:
You can depend upon it, there will
be no platform until the resolutions
appointed by the conven-
ton considers 1t fully and passes
upon 1t finally"
While this was accepted as techni-
cally exact, it was none the less be-
lieved that most Of the features Of
the coming document had been
sketched with exactness and waited
only formal approval of the platform
committee.

TO CUT DOWN
VOTE OF SOUTH
REPUBLICAN ALLIES D,ssATls.
FLED WITH REPRESENTATION.
AGREE ON RESOLUTION
Want Basis Of Representation One
Delegate for Every 10000 Votes
Cast and Four Delegates at Large
From Each State.

Chicago, June 13.-Details OF the
plan Of the allies to make a fight on
the floor of the republican national
convention to reduce the representa-
ton Of southern states were made
public today by Representative James
Francis Burke Of Pennsylvania, man.
ager for Senator Knox.
The resolution agreed upon by the
allies, and which will be offered or
the floor by Mr.. Burke, follows:
Resolved, That the basis of repre-
hereafter shall be as follows:
Each state shall be entitled to four
delegates at large and one additional
delegate for each 10000 votes or ma,
jority fraction thereof, cast at the last
previous presidential election for re
publican electors and two electors
from each territory, the District OF
Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, Porte
Rico and the Philippine islands and
that methods necessary for the en-
forcement of this rule shall be provid.
ed by the republican convention"
Allies Are Dissatisfied.
The presentation Of this is the di
rect outcome of the dissatisfaction fell
by the representatives Of the allies
with the result Of the recent con
tests decided. The charge was made
freely by the allies that the rights Of
the northern states which are neces
sary to republican success were being
ignored in the interest of gaining the
delegations from southern states
which never give. the party any votes
in the electoral college, to the candi
date who exercises control over fed
eral patronage.
If the resolution should be. adopted
1t would result in reduction in about
100 delegates from southern states
which invariably go democratic. An
increase Of nearly 150 would be made
in the delegations from northern
states. Mr.. Burke said:
Change Is Necessary.
THE necessity for this change has
become apparent in the light of the
recent developments. In the present
|sconvention $50 delegates will be seat
ed from states which in 20 years have
not even pretended to engage in q
contest for the election of a republic
can candidate for the presidency
More than that, the republican vote IN
these states is rapidly disappearing
while their representation remains as
large as ever. South Carolina is now
entitled to a national delegate for ev
cry 1876 republican votes 1t casts while
Pennsylvania receives one delegate
only for every 1887 republican
votes, Illinois one for every 11,716;
Indiana n for every 1926; Ohio
one for every 1905, and Colorado
one for every 1896 republican votes
The plan proposed by Representa-
tive Burke is in all essentials thu
same as that introduced In the repub
lican convention at Philadelphia IL
1900 by the late Senator Quay o
Pennsylvania. No action. was taker
upon 1t at that time, the resolution
being withdrawn by Quay before !
reached a vote.

Thaw will remain in the Poughkeepsie

coAnsel to Justice Bowling, Of the gu

pital for the insane at Matteawan.
This decision was rendered by JUS
tice Morschauser of Poughkeepsie, at
ter hearing arguments Of counsel in
this city today or q motion to trans
fer the prisoner to any state asylum
other than at the asylum for insane
convicts.
Justice Morsecheuer expressed the
opinion that 1t might be better for
fThaw to be ~incarcerated in some 9th
er asylum than the one at Matteawan
as 1t was evident that strained rela-
tions existed between the head OF the
.Matteawan institution and Thaw.

Col. Franklin BARTLETT and James M.
Graham OF Newburg appeared for
Thaw. Col. Bartlett commended that
sThaw could legally be transferred to
any other state asylum for the in
sane, and in the argument for the
transfer counsel asserted that Thaw
would personally rather be in the
Tombs or Poughkeepsie prison than In
Matteawan. District Attorney jerome
said that he personally had no objec-
ton to the transfer of Thaw to some
other hospital If he was convinced
that 1t was for Thaw's good and that
there was no danger of his escape.
Justice Morschauser stated that he
could not go back Of Justice Dowl-
ing's order sending Thaw to Mattea-
wan, but in view Of the statements
that Thaw might not recover there be-
cause Of the feeling he has toward the
head Of the institution, he would stay
the execution OF the order recommit-.
ting him until such time as Thaw's
counsel could ask Justice Bowling for
a change Of the original order.

Georgetown, KY, June 13.-Ca.eo
Powers who was pardoned by Cover
nor Wilson today gave out a state
ment from his hotel here in which he
says:
1.-THE decision of Governor Wilson
to the effect that / am entitled to my
liberty after his long and painstaking
examination Of the records in all the
trials is, I think, as much a vindica-
ton Of my good name as though my
liberty had come through the decision
of the average jury and especially in
view Of the fact that ten OF the jury
ii the last trial voted for my acquit-
tai.
II am going home to my poor old
mother and will remain there a few
weeks in the hope Of regaining my
health. II my health Is sufficiently
recovered by September /, I shall re-
enter the practice of law in my home
town, Barbourville, KY, unless some
thing much better presents itself be-
tween now and then" :

OF the energy that horror or crime and
personal devotion could inspire and
all sorts of@men, good and bad. hon
lest and dishonest and harpies attract
ed blythe reward, joined in the man
hunt. The brothers of Goebel, deHot-
eddy attracted to his memory made
it the chief end of their lives to pun-
ish the criminal and in that they had
the sympathy ofsevery good man@and
woman.
After reviewing the situation in
which Kentucky found itself, with the
people divided into hostile factions
over the noted cases with all Of its
features Of political strife and hatred,
the governor says:
II have: ,consfdered the case regard
less OF my personal wishes, sympathy
or first Impressions and wholly in the
light OF truth and right. 1 never seek
to avoid criticism or win praise. But
I feryently thank God that should
be in trument Of justice and mercy
as God has given me to see my duty
and know the right, and my faith is
that peace and neighborly feeling will
put an end to these troubles.
Pardon Unconditional.
Il grant Caleb Powers a full and
unconditional pardon for the offense
with which he is charged and a res
~toration to all his rights Of citizenship
in order that he be forthwith re-
leased from Jail. MY reason for
granting a pardon is that / am firmly
convinced that he is beyond all IA
enable doubt, innocent Of the crime
charged against him and that any
further prosecution against him for
the crime charged would be a great
wrong and against the peace and well
being of the commonwealth.
In the trial of Youtsey, the state
commended earnestly for a verdict in
that he fired the fatal shot, and my
reading Of the testimony leaves no
doubt that this charge was conclu-
sively proved.
sAt the end of his trial, he accept
ed and decided not to appeal from the
sentence of Imprisonment for life.
Could Not Secure Jury.
There is very little hope Of ever
having a jury trial of this case in
Kentucky without political questions
uppermost in the minds Of the court
and counsel, and because of this the
struggle Of the defendant with no
except those given him against
the whole power of the common
wealth, I feel 1t to be my duty to end
this futile struggle, the anxiety and
waste Of time, money and care, and
take away from both parties the bone
of contention; to do all that I can to
restore peace to the state
For these reasons / pardon Caleb
Powers and order his immediate re-
lease from the Jail at Georgetown,
this June 10, 1908.
AUGUST WILSON,
Governor of Kentucky"
The governors reasons for the par
don Of James Howard ar set. forth, to
be that after careful examination of
the evidence and proceedings of the
trial satisfied him that Howard had
nothing to do with the murder Of
William Goebel, but that Henry
Youtsey formed the plan which was
carried out in the murder of Senator
Goebel.
