FIELD AGAINST TAFT
Progressives Striving to De-
feat Presidents denomination
lAFOllETTE LAYING Pl ANS
Scheme Said to Include Capture of
Convention Votes in All
Taft States.
LAFOLLETTE LAYING PLANS

Anti-Taft republicans claim that they
now have ten members Of the republican
national committee with them In their
| crusade against the Presidents renomi-
nation, and they say that with this as a
nucleus, they will try to capture the ma
tional committee. with view to organ
| izing the national convention in favor of
| the insurgents.
The only trouble with the claim. how
| ever, is that the national committeeman
even from the inSurgent states. with the
| possible exception Of three, are all Taft
| men.
Ever since the La Toilette people were
put under the steam roller by the Roose-
Welt managers at the national convention
F, OF 1904. and their delegates thrown out of
/ the meeting and replaced by Others they
have had lively sense of the Importance
Of organizing the convention.
La Toilette Willing to Forgive.
| Senator La Toilette. however. appears
to have forgiven that ruthless treatment,
| the politicians say. Judging from the fer
| vid compliments he paid Mr.. Roosevelt
| In his recent speech in the Senate attack
ing President Taft
Anybody to beat Taft
This appears to be the slogan OF some
Of the insurgent republicans these days.
with respect to the campaign for the
presidential nomination, and the result
Is the outcropping of possible new can
didates from time to time.
The mention of these new names in
addition to Senator La Toilette. who is
regarded as the standard bearer of the
| radical progressives is construed by
policy Of raising UP "favorte sons" in
several sections Of the country, with the
| hope of dividing the Taft vote in i'm
| portant states.
Such plan usually has in, view the
| "favorite sons and concentration upon
the most likely candidate of the lot. The
| Taft people expect to see number of
such candidates appear as the campaign
progresses.
Garfield In the Running.
The latest Is James r. Garfield of
Ohio, who is reported to be the ultimate
choice Of the progressives, allowing that
Senator La Toilette cannot swing the
convention. 1t was thought that Presi-
dent Taft was Ohios "favOrite son. and
1T is assumed that mention Of Mr.. Gar
fields name at this time means that he
would contest that claim with President
Taft.
The progressives have been claiming
all along that they will go to the next
republican national convention with split
delegations from many Of the states
where the President thinks he will have
the whole delegation. They would feel
especially proud II they could by the use
of Garfelds name whittle off some dele
gates from the Ohio block, but the Taft
people have been counting on the Gar
field support for the Taft nomination.
Mr.. Garfield was in the city yesterday
but declined to have anything to say
about presidential politics.

At the evening session of the conven-
