ROOSEVELT WILL BE THERE
President Will Attend the Convention
in Person.


in Person.
Under certain conditions Roosevelt
may break all precedent and attend the
republican national convention at Chi
cago.
He will do this for two reasons. One
is to prevent any enthusiastic friend
from attempting to engineer a STAN
pede in his favor, and the other is to
see that the. national committee plays
fair in it's decisions in relation to con-
testing delegations from states where
there are contests.
1t is believed that well defined plans
are being made to put enough contest
ing delegations into the field to throw
the control of the convention into the
hands of the national committee,
which will pass on the claims of rival
sets of delegates.
The president realizes that certain
interests would go far and spend a
great amount of money to swing the
convention away from Taft. To see
that no such gigantic scheme of politi-
cal fraud is contaminated would be
the presidents aim in being on the
spot.
The leading question now is, would
Roosevelt throw himself into the
breach and capture the nomination if
the scheme to block Taft succeeds?
