President Has No Preference
as to Place for Convention

st. Louis people rejoiced today because
they got from President Aaft an authori-
tative expression that he is taking no
part in the fight over the city in which
the republican national convention shall
be held.
Reports having been current that the
administration favored Chicago as the
convention city, Representative Bartholdt
and James f. Smith. Of the Business
Mems League of st. Louis. called on Mr..
Taft and Secretary I5illes today. They
told the President that st. Louis had al
ready raised the money for the conven-
ton and that the city has the biggest
convention hall in the world. with a seat
Ing capacity of between 1900 and $1,000

convention to st. Louis would Offset this
to some extent.
The President assured his visitors that
he did not care in the least what city
had the convention. He could not see
that teh party would be benefited one
way or the other. He had told ma
tiOnal committeeman who had asked him
that he was not taking sides. The visitors
then talked with Secretary Hilles, who

Rested for Sixteen Years.

Here the question rested for sixteen
years. when in the convention of 1900.
Senator Quay, delegate from Pennsyl-
vania, moved to strike out rule L report
ed by the committee on rules, and to in
sert in its place the following:
That hereafter each state shall be en-
titled to four delegates at-large, and one
additional delegate for each ten thousand
votes. or major fraction thereof, cast at
the last preceding presidential election,
etc.
This motion, like that of Mr.. Bishop
after discussion was withdrawn by its
mover Eight years later, In the conven-
ton of 1908, Mr.. Burke. a delegate from
PENNSYLVANIA, on behalf of the minority
of the committee on rules, by a motion to
substitute. revived the Quay plan.
Il regret that the limited scope Of an
interview prevents a description of the
very interesting debate which followed
MI Burke's motion, and finally ended
by "A yea and nay vote. The result was:
Yeas, Al; nays. .iO6
An analysis of this vote shows that OF
the Al affirmative votes 2J6 were cast
solidly by the state delegations Of New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana. Illinois and
Wisconsin.
Had the Burke proposition prevailed
the voting power of each of these states
would have been increased by the follow
ing number of additional votes: New
York. II: Pennsylvania 20; Indiana, II;
Illinois, Il, and Wisconsin, Ga total of

Gossip of Candidates.

Of course a great deal of gossip and
discussion about presidential candi-
dates is to be heard around the hotel
Hobbies the republicans assemble,
but it takes no definite form other
than an apparent studied effort on the
part OF the enemies Of President Taft
TO create the impression that there Is
opposition to his nomination among
prominent republicans.
Traced to it's source. this gossip can
never be located beyond the general
they say" except in the INSTANCE OF
State Chairman Brown of Ohio the
friends Of La Toilette and a. few wise
acres who pretend to see the shadow
of Roosevelt looming up.
There is more or less loose talk of
uninstructed delegates from the south
ern states, but it only comes in the way
OF secondhand gossip. The national
not always the sole arbiters of politics
in their respective states, and PreSi-
dent Taft has friends who will go to
the state conventions.
The Roosevelt DOGGY is being assiu-
ously stalked forth by few men, not
withstanding the efforts of Col. Roose-
welt himself and of his accredited rep
resentatfveS to down it. Followed to
its lair. the Roosevelt ghost is usually
to be found in close proximity to
democratic influences.

A Shift of Power.

This leads me to very important
statement, for the accuracy of which 1
Vouch. In the convention of 1908 the
least number of the largest delegation
which by uniting could have controlled
the convention were those of thirteen
scattered states: whereas had the Burke
motion succeeded that number would
nave been reduced to those of nine repre-
Sentlng the following states namely,
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa
and Missouri These contiguous states
constitute region of the greatest Ameri-
can commercial activity. L use the word
commercial in its broadest sense. Thus
we should have furnished the enemy with
charge that republicarism and CONNER
cialism have become practically synony-
nous terms.
I'm my opinion. the action of the dele
gates from Ohio. Iowa and other states
who rejected the proffered bait of in
creased political power and by ma
jority of their votes saved us from such
situation are entitled to the thanks of
republicans everywhere.
Certainly, 1t cannot be said that the
action Of the convention in adhering to
the time honored plan of apportionment
lost us q single vote at the polls; where
as. had the Burke motion prevailed, who
can estimate the thousands and perhaps
hundreds of thousands of votes that might
have been lost or turned against us by
reason of such concentration Of political
power. and the further reason of the
rank injustice of experimenting demo-
cratic disfranchisement of American citi-
ZenS in the south by corresponding dis
REIMBURSEMENT in our conventions.

st. Louis in Fight.

ST Louis is making a determined fight
for the national convention, although the
indications this afternoon still were that
the national committee will favor Chi
cago- The st. Louis people are making
all the use possible of an argument that
if the convention shall be taken to Chi
cago the candidacy of President Taft for
vironment. IT is claimed by the men who
convention that the President can hardly
hope for whole hearted newspaper sup
port in the city of Chicago, while in ST
Louis, SO 1t is asserted, the newspapers
may be counted on to extend a friendly
hand to the Taft candidacy in case the
convention is sent there.
Representative Bartholdt of St Louis
and James Z. Smith, representing the ST
Louis citizens committee discussed the
situation with the President today. and
following their conference with the chief
executive, they called the members of the
national committee from the southern
states together and asked them to come
to the support of ST. Louis BY inference
at least, the ST Louis men are trying to
leave the impression on the members OF
the national committee that the President
prefers St Louis. AS a matter of fact
the President has not expressed any wish
In the matter. His frienus say that he
realizes that the local atmosphere OF
Chicago might not be quite as friendly as
that of st. Louis. but he Is perfectly
willing to leave the national committee
free to do what 1t thinks best in the
matter

tBy Special Leased Wire TO New Mexican
Washington, D. c.. Sept, 6.-The
enormity and horror of the famine sit
uation confronting China, caused by
the overflow of the Yang Use Kiang
river, was officially reported to the
State Department by American con.
sui General Wilder at Shanghai and
the question of rendering Red Cross
assistance is under consideration. AS
the amount at the disposal af the
American Red Cross Society for this
purpose is small, when compared with
the proportions of the necessity, it is
probable that an appeal for additional
funds may be issued.
The entire territory between Ham
gov and Shanghai, distance of about
GOO miles, has been overflowed, Mr..
Wilder declares. Cities an dtowns are
under water, many dwellings being en-
scarcity of rice aud the destruction
tirely submerged. Because of the
great flood. the cost of living has
risen to the highest point ever at
