AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
Georgia Republicans Resent Delay
in Taft's Interest.

ATLANTA. February 17.-Alleging that
the republican state central committee is
delaying the call for the convention to
select delegates to the national conven-
ton in the hope Of aiding Secretary Taft.
the leaders Of the Republican State
League. an organization hostile to Roose-
welt and Taft. have called a meeting Of
the league for this week at which the de-
lay Of the state committee will be con-
sidered.
The league leaders say II the state COM
mittee does not give assurance that a
state convention will be called at once
the league will go over the committee S
head and issue the call itself This would
certainly result in two republican conven-
lions In Georgia and two sets Of dele-
gates.
The state committee is made up princi-
pally Of Roosevelt oh1ceholders who pro-
TESS to be for Taft. while the state league
Is composed Of the rank and file of re-
publicans in Georgia. The league is or
ganized in every congressional district and
claims a membership Of 10000.
The league leaders say the state COM
mittee fears to call the convention now
because an anti-Roosevelt delegation
would be chosen. and is delaying the call
in the hope that conditions may be
changed by Frank Hitchcock. who Is COM
Ing south in the interest OF Taft.
