washington, Dec. 13.--Senator Bo-
rah's attempt failed to have the Re-
publican national committee adopt an
optional presidential preference pri-
mary plan to elect delegates to the
national convention to nominate can

dent.
The committee chose Chicago as the
city for the convention, and decreed
that the convention should begin on
June is.
The only serious .clash of the fac
lions was over the question of primar-
les Mr. Borah began his fight IN a
subcommittee appointed to draft the
form OF the call and carried 1t into
the session of the full committee in
the shape OF a minority report. He
was defeated by vote of AZ TO Z,
and the call was adopted in practically
the same language which was used
four years ago.
Mr.. Borah was practically the only
champion OF the plan, while the oppo-
sition was voiced in studied speech
by Arthur l. Vorys, OF Ohio, who was
supposed to present the, views of
President Taft.
Senator Borah was supported in his
minority proposition by the commit
teemen from Colorado, Delaware, Ne
braska, Oregon. South Dakota and
Wisconsin. There were four absen-
tees--from Arizona, Nevada. North
Dakota and Vermont. All the other
states supported the call as framed by
the majority of the subcommittee.
The national committee adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman.

convention city was overwhelming.

gratined to see the Taft program go

suggestion was laughingly made that
he had been "steam-rollered."
