irreparable damage was certain to result
from failure to enjoin.
The defenders of the plank insist there
is nothing in it's terms to be feared. 1t

consistent with the position taken by
Speaker Cannon two years ago. and which
he still maintains. that, the courts must
not have one rule for one class and a diff
ferent rule for another. 1t is admitted
that the provision is broadly worded but
contains definite promise for relief
against hasty judicial action.
Many conferences OH the subject were
in progress throughout the day. but the
actual situation as to the ability OF the
Taft forces to embody the plank in the
platform of the opposition to elimi-

finally determined upon.
The postal savings bank plank. which
as yet has not been included in the Taft

CANNON'S FIGHT AGAINST
ANTI-INJUNCTION PLANK
Speaker Doubtful of His Ability to
Eliminate From the Platform.

chicago. June IL. Can Speaker
Cannon eliminate the injunction plank
from the Taft platform? This question
and the inability of any one to answer
1t presented the platform problem of
the day
The Speaker himself is in doubt as to
his ability to erase or even modify the
plank. but this fact only serves a
stimulus to the efforts lie is making.
His active lieutenants in the fight are
the congressional coterie."
Arguments against the plank are be-
ing made by many members of Congress

SCOTT FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
West Virginians Hold Caucus and
Reach Results.

CHICAGO, June 15.-After caucuses
had been held today by several dele
cations which have been charged with
harboring sentiment for the denomination
of Roosevelt regardless of their instruc-
tions for Taft. the possibility of a stam-
pede in the convention does not seem SO
strong as it did last night.
The West Virginia delegation met at
the Lexington Hotel and no suggestion of
violation of Taft instructions was made
Gen. George W. Curtin of Sutton. w.
Va, who has declared Roosevelt to be
his choice for the presidency, stated after
the caucus that every man in the dele
CATION would be loyal to his instructions,
unless a general movement was begun in
the convention. He reiterated that he
would like to see the President renomi-
mated. The delegation decided to have
badges printed bearing the words:

The delegation will meet at o'clock
tonight to elect its members Of the con-
vention committees.

TROPHY TROUSERS FROM
TEXAS TO TAFT EN- ROUTE
Native Product From Admirers in
Far Southwest

CHICAGO, June }A--A remarkable pair
of trousers. to be presented to Secretary
Taft In the name of the state of Texas
when he shall have become the republic
can candidate for President. are on their
way to Chicago and attracting the at
tention of the politicians. Incidentally it
is said. the trousers are intended to focus
eyes on Texas and the Angora goat in
dustry Of the state. for the pants are
made of mohair the product of clippings
from a famous Texas Angora goat. and
they are intended to be worn by the re-
publican nominee for President, if it be
Taft.
If the nominee should be Cannon, Or
Hughes. or Knox, or Fairbanks the adver-
Using will be lost to Texas. for the mo-
hair already has been made up in a pair
of trousers according TO Secretary Taft S
measurement
The idea is that of John b. Darlington.
secretary of the Business Mems Club Of
San Antonio. He has written to Cecil A.
Lyon, member of the national committee
of Texas, that ten pounds of wool had
been sent to him by Frank o. Landrum,
a goat breeder. the wool being six months
clipping from Admiral Togo whose sire
was imported from South Africa.
MADE by washington TAILOR.
The business men of San Antonio sent
the wool to Philadelphia and had it made
into mohair. which in turn was sent to
Mr. Tafts tailor in Washington and made
into a pair of trousers for the Secretary
of War The Texas business men ex-
pected that Mr.. Taft would be in Chi
cago during the convention. and ordered
the trousers sent to Col. Lyon for pres
eita ton to the Secretary. They are now
en- route here.
"A telegram announcing the fact that
the trousers lad been expressed from
Washington was received by Col. Lyon
today. and he Immediately began the
preparation of a proper reception. The
program is yet imperfect, but it will in
clude the exhibition of the trousers at
the Coliscu n if Taft is nominated.
The Texas delegation will seek to lead
the column through the asles in the
usual procession of enthusiastic delegates
OF wii:cn II nomination invariably is the
signal Col Lyon expects to have the
trousers hOisted upon the Texas standard.

out of the fact that President Roosevelt
wrote a letter some little time ago to
United States Judge Dayton of West Viz

gates c. F. Teeter and George W. Curtin
of that state intended possible disre-
gard of their instructions for Secretary
Taft and a bolt to Roosevelt.

TAFT ON FIRST BALLOT
IS PROPHECY OF OHIOANS
Planning for Big Demonstration to
Follow Nomination.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The Ohio con-
tingent accept the Taft nomination as
such an accomplished fact that they are.
making preparations for an impressive
demonstration when the notification of his
nomination is formally conveyed to him.
The question came up today when the
delegation considered names for the
various committees, and agreed to ask Mr..
Charles P. Taft, brother of the Secretary.
to serve on the committee of notification
Secretary Taft will go to his Cincinnati
home at the time of the notification, and
it was felt to be appropriate that his
brother Charles should have the honor of
representing Ohio when the notification of
nomination is formally conveyed. Mr..
Taft did not share in this view, however,
and felt that. his relationship to the Sec
rotary should eliminate him from the
notification committee. Mr.. Taft was
proof against all persuasion, and so the
delegation turned to ex-Gov. Herrick, who
will doubtless be named on this notifica-
ton committee.
To Head Ohio Delegation.
The first formal meeting of the Ohio
delegation is fixed for this afternoon,
when the following organization, already
tentatively agreed upon, will be consum-
mated.
