TALK OF SECOND PLACE
MAN TO RUN NTH TAFT.
Washington Picks Fairbanks or
CortcIyou, Ne7C Workers Say.

Representatives Parsons and Rennet returned
from Washington yesterday. bringing the news
that Vice President Fairbanks and Secretary
CorteIyou the leading candidates. far
Washington is concerned, for the Vice Presi-
Dental nonina ton They also brought the news
that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is TO be the
permanent chairman Of the Chicago convension-
Messrs. Parsons and Bennett close per-
sonal friends OF the President and the admin
istration leaders. and the news they brought
greatly interested local Republicans last night.
Assuming that the choice for second place lies
between the Vice-President and the Secretary :
of the Treasury the booms Of Representative
James S. Sherman and Timothy L. Woodruff
shelved for the time being. Mr. Sherman said
the other day that so long as Governor Hughes ,
a candidate for the first place the ticket
he was for him. and that talk Of himself for the
second place was. therefore, out of the question
When Representative Bennett was asked about
the Vice. Presidential situation, last night hs
said:
The leading candidates seem to be Fairbanks
and CorteIyou. This seems to be the opinion
of the politicians in Washington There is
thing about it, however. that should be dis
tinctly kept in mind, and that is that President
Roosevelt is not taking hand in the shaping Of
tendencies leading TO the naming OF the candi-
date for Vice-President. He is leaving IL abso-
lutely alone. The choice is open one, and the
most available man doubtless will be named
''It is obvious that either Fairbanks or Cor
telyou would be strong candidate. New York
and Indiana generally classed doubtful
states While the Republicans in recent years
have had no trouble in carrying them by large
pluralties there is reason for assuming that each
state will be a battle-ground this fall.
II think it is no secret by this time that tbs
platform is being thoroughly discussed by the
friends of the President and Secretary Taft. and
it doubtless is true that the platform will cor
rectIy represent their views governmental
policies"
What about Representative Sherman for ths
second place on the ticket?' he was asked
There is no question at all about the great
popularity of the Congressman from Utica" said
Mr.. Bennett 'but it also is true that the leading
candidates for the second place on the ticket are
the men already referred to-"
What is there in the suggestion that Senator
Crane. who seems to be slated for the chairman
siastic Taft man,
Senator Crane is a very good friend Of the
Secretary" said Mr.. Bennett For certain rea-
sons he has not been what you might style
enthusiastic boomer of the Secretary for Prssi-
dent. but he is very friendly toward him. I
the next national chairman He is COOL far
sighted man, and will be efficient if chosen for
that exalted station
