will positively form a pew party ami
lend II himself rather than submit -
auow the millions of voters bach of the
nrorrossive cause 40 be robbed through
the packed roll call OF the National
?. Committee" such was the message
brought to Kentucky headquarters by
two K,ntucky Roosevelt men. who were
closed with Col. Roosevelt at
ociocs.
: A weli-known Republican from an
adjoining state saw col. Roosevelt at
about the same time. and advis-h

LOOK FOR THIRD PARTY.
TIL atmosphere Is very tcnse nbout
kentucky headquarters today. and the
impression that the birth of third
party is a, hand is general. The mar
gin OF control. even in the packed
conv1n,ion. IL very close. nni there
will q, one ar two more decisive roll
calls before the rope strains 10 the
point # breaking.
What chance the cause Of honcs.y
has o. gaining votes IN the kent"ckF
delegation no one knows. There are
five votes which are held in line for
the steal with great difficulty.
The Chicago Tribune. whose chief
politicL writer. John e. OLouhhlin. is
repu;ai to be entirely in the confidence
OF Cos. Roosevelt, prints on its first
page an article headed: Honest roll

Following this O'Loushlin says:
Either the roll call of ahe Republican
convention will he purged of the dele-

Judge ORear arrived today and
went at once into consultation with
Mr.. Edwards and Mr.. Combs.
The Meeting Of the Kentucky delegates
for organization In the Great Northern
Hotel was practically without incident
the action of the delegation at tha
meeting at Louisville was reaffirmcd
. there being no chances in the selec'
tions. The rumored substitution OF
Richard G. Stoll. of Lexington, fo'
Maurice l.. Calvin. of Covinaton. on
the treuentEiis Ihh't'c'' was "''
made.
NOT STRONG FOR TAFT.
There are on the Kentucky delegation
several men who. though instructed fo'
Taft. are at heart for Roosevelt, and
this may have intensified the quite evi'
dent feeling of uncertainty. Congress
man John w. Langley figures 1t that
Taft will lose by the narrow margin
of two votes.
In this he claims no chanse of the
present staining of the Kentucky dele
extraordinarily four for Taft and twS
for Roosevelt. Il. J.. Bethurum, Of
Somerset. who was seated to tn
favor of o. IL. Waddeal, the Taft oandl

action Of the National Committee and
give him the seat.
He said: "I.have not the slightes
doubt that l will be seated, for thu
