The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1908-06-13

The seating OF twenty-four con-
tested delegates to the Republican
national convention who are recog-
nized as favorable to Secretary
Taft's nomination by the Republican
National Committee, apparently set
fles the contest for the Republican
nomination at Chicago. Taft will
more than likely be nominated on
the first ballot. The roll call of dele
gates, at the present time, does not
assure this, but this, with the lead
she Secretary of War already had,
viii more than likely take the wind
out Of the sails OF the other aspi-
rants. It's effect will be to cause
other States, which would, in all
probability, instruct for favorite
son or send uninstructed delegations,
to get on the Taft band wagon.

that there is violent opposition to
him and his policies among the lead
ers Of his party, demonstrated that,
through his indomitable will power,
and the fear of these same leaders to
run counter to his wishes, forced his
choice upon the party; and that,
too. In spite Of an apparent determi.
nation early In the campaign 70
