WILL BE TAFT
OR ROOSEVELT
Republican Standard Bearers
Are in Doubt as the Out

Washington, Dec. 13.-The notice
that the Republican national commit
tee issued for a convention at Chicago
ON June IS naxt contained a covert in
vitation to President Taft and Theo.
dore Roosevelt to submit bids for the
nomination to be then conferred by
the party.
The ''~reactfonaries'' and stand pat
ters," onc SO vigorously denounced by
Colonel Roosevelt, were In absolute
down by odds OF 7 to a proposition to
favor a presidential primary they con
tinued to express their skeptieism of
the availability of President Taft as
the standard bearer of his party and to
exploit what they described as "the
growing demand for the nomination of
Colonel Roosevelt"
The Taft men, led by Vorys, the chief
spokesman for the president, were In
clined to regard the defeat of the presf
Dental primary as q victory.
The Republican national committee
at Its meeting here had hardly decided
these questions and concluded its other
business with a fair show OF harmony
when u. Il. Lee, chairman of the Re.
publican state committee of Indiana,
ex-senator Beveridge's lieutenant, In.
sued a formal statement.
MI Taft cannot carry Indiana he
said. eff he Is the Republican nomi
nee cur fight IL lost before a gun Is
fired. As one of his original friends
who labored for him night and day j
have been driven to this knowledge
with extreme reluctance.
"A few days ago | sent a letter to
u precinct committeemen-there are
over 5000 OF them-asking for a state
ment of political conditions. / have
received hundreds of replies. -Four out
Of five OF these letters Of precinct com
mitteemen state that there is dissatis
faction with Mr.. Taft among the voters
and this, too, although In my letters /
did ask for opinions"
So far as Mr.. Lee personally Is con
.cerned this statement is not received
in Washington with any large degree
of seriousness. Lee Is Bevefidge's first
lieutenant In Indiana. He was unsuc.
cessfuily recommended by Beveridge
for United States marshal in Indiana
and later for an internal revenue In.
spectorship.
Harry New, Republican national
committeeman from Indiana, said
when he heard of the Lee statement:
Il disagree absolutely with his prog.
nostfcations in regard to the effect Of
President Taft's denomination. be-
heve Mr.. Taft Is the strongest man the
party can nominate, and I do not be-
ieve that the Republicans OF Indiana
will be affected by Mr.. Lees pessi-
mistfc views"
The presidential primary question Is
the only one that aroused any contest
TO speak OF In the national committee
meeting.
The presidents friends had absolute
control Of the meeting al every stage.
and the action taken on the primary
preference proposition is supposed toI
have been in keeping with MI. Taft's
own views.
The supporters Of Harry New had
no difficulty In eleeting him as chair
man of the committee on arrange
ments, which Is to name the temporary
al.cs1s OF Tie national convention.

tions OF the sewer on Thanksgiving
Day but without success. Mr.. STAN
ton raised the question az to who

nor moved that the city engineer
