DENVER, Colo, July 2S.-The

by the Guggenheims is to be car

"officiar' member of that influen-
tial family.
Four years ago, when Guggen-
helm was yearning toward the sen

sent from his office to the repub-
lican candidates for the legislature,
with nice note expressing the
hope that the donation would prove
helpful in saving the party
From the small town of PaOnia
one of these checks was returned.
1t came from Merle d. Vincent,

would never vote for one of the

the final roll call he alone de-

REBELS SAY
GARFIELD
QUIT
BY United Press Leased Wlre.)

COLUMBUS, o., July 2S.-This Is
the day of the political crouch in
Ohio. Following the republican
state convention yesterday insurg.
ents today are accusing James R.

gressive leader of the state. OF
quitting"
The nomination of Warren Hard.
ing for governor is regarded as an
indication of the temperance of
former Senator Joseph B. Foraker
into politics. and this means, &C
cording to the wise ones, the down
fall of Senator Burton and the
northern Ohio republican leaders.
Incidentally, the disgruntled re-
publicans, Of whom there seem to
be an abundance in all parts of the
state, are predicting the slaughter
of the party at the polls this fall
and clean sweep for the demo
Gratis.
President Taft is reported greatly
pleased with the work of the con-
vention.
Popular rumor here says that
Theodore Roosevelt, who openly ex.
pressed the wish that progressive
platform be adopted, does not like
either the candidates or the plat.
form.
The insurgents are perhaps the
most disappointed of the factions
developed by the convention. They
are openly saying today that if Gar
field had not quit he had an excel
lent chance of winning the nomina-
ton and that if he had carried the
platform fight to the floor of the
convention the regulars would have
been routed and the insurgents
would have swept the convention.
