Roosevelt Men Believe Colonel Will
win in Every cthe. e.s.e M'Ae-- eri-
maries Are to Be Hold and That
Contested Delegations Will Not Be
Needed to Secure Nomination.

Washington, April 15.-Friends Of
President Taft admit that the over
whelming majortes given by Illinois
and Pennsylvania TO Theodore Roose-
Welt were a paralyzing blow to the Taft
candidacy.
It is admitted the president has only
a little chance of carrying any Of the
states in which presidential preference
primaries will occur. and there is grave
apprehension that the politicians see
ing the strength of the Roosevelt
movement, will go over to his stand
ard. The president is greatly cast down
over the situation, and has been con-
ferring with his managers. Senator
Crane Of Massachusetts. Congressman
Mckinley Of Illinois, director or MS
campaign. and others.
This much is said positively: Ihe
president will not withdraw and IN
tends to be beatci; IN the convention
rather than do so He is backed In this
determination by members or the olo
guard. who are anxious, above every
thing else. to retain control or the
party machinery They have support
ed the president. not because they ne
lieved he could win. but because II ne
were defeated they would stu nave
command of the machine.
No compro misc Possible.
Some of the old guard are talking
about a compromise candidate. nut
th.re is small chance OF this. conse-
ouently the politicians behind Mr.. Ial
are hoping that Colonel Roosevelt. II
nominated, will be defeated! in which
case they still will have their hands
on the throttle Of the republican party
ma achine.
Two men have been talked OF as
COMPROMISE candidates. Supreme Court
Justice Hughes and Senator Cummins
Justice Hughes will not permit him
self to be put forward as n compromise
candidate, he has told his friends.
But the Roosevelt men ridicule tn
idea of defeat. They point out tha
their candidate has engaged In battle
with the two most powerful machine:
in the country-the Mckinley Cannon
Lorimer machine of Illinois aud the
Penrose machine Of Pennsylvania. Ht
has annihilated both.
To say that he can not carry those
states in the election they claim to be
absurd, especially in view of the ma
jority he received over Champ Clark II
Illinois. Moreover, Pennsylvania is
surely republican and will give Roose-
welt a majority of tremendous size.
Primary Hlows to Taft.
What is of concern to the president:
managers Is the way in which hi:
candidacy has been slaughtered in tho
states where presidential primarte:
have been held. In Oklahoma. Nortf
Dakota. Wisconsin, Illinois. and Penn
sylvania, in which primaries have oc'

RAILWAY CRAFTS UNITED
Shop Employees Of Lines West Of Mis-
s,ssippi River to Form Federation
Representatives Of Five orsaniza-
tions Meet to Reflect Consolidation
To Act in Unison On Wage Demands.

Kansas City, April 15.-To perfect
federation Of the shop employees of all
the railroads west Of the Mississippi
river Representatives of five railway
craft organizations began meeting at
the labor temple here today.
The object Of the federation. en-
bracing unions with an aggregate
membership of 100000 men employed
on forty seven railroads. is to do away
with the necessity of separate organi-
cations taking up negotiations with
separate railroads, to unite all the me
chanical trades so that concerted ac-
tion may be taken when wage
demands are made. Demands will
be made OH all railroads in the same
territory at the same time so that all
the roads will be involved simultane-
ously if a strike is called.

Many believe the Pennsylvania out
come makes it impossible to prevent
the nomination. Of Roosevelt. But 9TH
ers expect the movement for Cum
Minis or Hughes or some dark horse
to become more formidable than ever
Mr.. Cummins' friends here are highly
encouraged over the outlook. 1t Is ad-
mitted even by Mr., Taft's friends that
at no time in the campaign has his
stock sunk SO low or his defeat for
nomination seemed so certain.

end az the movement to force the re-

improbable there will be any settle
