Chairman of Democratic Nat
iOnal Committee Believes
That Republicans Will Have
Harmonious Convention.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Nomination OF
Secretary of War Taft for president
on the first ballot in the Republican
national convention was predicted by
the men who think they will have to
manage campaign against him.
Thomas Taggart, chairman. and Urey
Woodson, secretary of the Democratic
national committee, were the men
who forecast the action of the Chi
cago convention. They went to the
Auditorium Annex. where they were
met by Roger Sullivan, Democratic
national committeeman from Illinois,
chairman OF the subcommittee-on arr
engagements for the convention.
The prediction OF Chairman Tag
CART and Secretary Woodson as to the
choice of the Republicans was called
forth indirectly by question regard
ing the SPECIAL message sent by Roose-
welt to congress.
do you think that the presidents
message will have any effect upoh
the general political situatlon?" was
asked OF Mr.. Taggart.
81 cannot see that II Will" said he.
"Tho. president said nothing in his
special message which he has not re-
iterated. The same opinions are p
peated. IN my mind the special mes
sage will help Secretary of War Taft's
candidacy.
at looks TO me-" continued Chair
man Taegart, "as II the Republicans
are going 10 have convention as har-
monious as our meeting at Denver
To my mind there Is nothing to 1t ex-
ccpt Taft for the Republicans. His
choice seems TO be as much a Ger
tainty as the choice Of Mr. Bryan. |
believe that the nrst ballot will settle
the Taft matter"
Yes, and II there was a chance
that some trick might ne played
which would hurt Taft, you would
see Roosevelt arise In the convention
and make the effort of his life," add
ed Mr. Woodson. Roosevelt will do
all he can for Taft"
Both the leaders said they thought
that the Republicans would make
"Rooseveltism" the issue of their
campaign and that the candidates of
the party--state and local-would try
to keep the president and his policies
TO the front in the, campaign.

FIRE CHIEF WOOD TO
TALK ABOUT PHONES

Fire Chief Wood may make a short
statement to the aldermen this even
ing on the question of removing the
old telephones from the fire stations.
The chief is not partial to the old
telephone company. but the risk OF
fire is too great to be passed lightly.
From the list of fires last year 80 pc,
cent of the alarms were given over
the telephone, and to remove the
phones would cause delay in send
ing in an alarm. which may result in
IA large fire. The advantage of the
departments in receiving an alarm
early, results in saving thousands o.
dollars, and the chief does not like to
see the city placed in jeopardy of a
'onflagration.
