BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE.

Chicago, June 19-Theodore Roosevelt
has been eliminated as the Republican
candidate for the presidency, but a sec
ond grim chapter Of this tragedy of Re-
publican hopes is being written tonight
II the plans Of the older statesmen
which have thus far been carried out
relentIessly and with success. do not
fall. the aspirations Of William H. Taft
for a second nomination will be snuffed
out like a candle within the next
twenty-four hours. -...
Having proved to their own satisfac-
tion that Roosevelt is past resurrection,
the men in command now intend to
purge the party of its other disturbing
factor. They hated Roosevelt with an
unsleeping hatred. and at him was di-
rected the first attack. Now that they
feel that they are rid Of him, they have
planned to brush Taft out Of their way
as worthy only of their contempt, and
to unite upon a third man, free from
the stigma OF the lamentable squabble
that has involved the party, and who
will have at least possible chance OF
election.
This astonishing action in q convention,
Of surprises has been takea not ~ the

candidacy whose purpose, as is now
shown, was above all to put the colonel
out Of the running.

taken to-day, II It had been necessary.
the delegates from Wisconsin and North
Dakota would have declared in favor OF
the Watson resolution which gave Roose-
welt his knockout blow. It will be under
stood that the controlling influence is all
powerful At the moment, because OF
the popular demonstration in favor Of
Gov. Hadley, OF Missouri, the dominant
faction Of the party is eagerly dissectinE
his public record. with a view Of the
possibility Of bestowing upon him the
prize that has been snatched from
Roosevelt and Taft
Cummins the Man.
At the same time these men in con-
troll who are Influenced by the atmos-
phere Of Washington are quietly advocat-
ing the nomination OF Senator Albert
B. Cummlns. Of Iowa. It is not intend
ed that President Taft shall be aban-
doned without an apparent struggle TO
bring about his nomination.

Taft Defeats Son
at Golf; ForgetS
Chicago Outlook
President Takes Robert Into Camp
at Chevy Chase-ReceiVes
Few Visitors.

President Taft evInced even less anxi-
ETY. yesterday over the political situa-
ton IN Chicago than he did Tuesday.
He took another half day OF yester-
day and went out to the Chevy Chase
Club with his eldest son, Robert, where
they played golf over an elghteen-hOle
course The President was in excellent
form and easily defeated his son, who
is just out Of college.
Upon returning to the White House,
shortly before o'clock, the President
spent half an hour or so going over
the press bulletins which had come in
during his absence. There were a num-
Der OF private kilograms from Chicago,
and after a short telephone conversa-
ton with Chicago he Joined his family
at dinner.
The President reached his once about
10 o'clock yesterday morning. Vice Pres
ident Sherman was one OF his first call
ers. Secretary OF State Knox called TO
present Senior Ferrara, Speaker Of the
Cuban House Of Representa- tives, who
called to take his leave on his depar-
ture for Havana. Secretary Of War
Stimson was in conference with the
President for half an hour on army
matters.
The only Congressional callers at the
White House were Representatives
Hughes Of New Jersey. Stevens Of Ne
braska, and HUI Of Connecticut.
The Washington herald., 1912-06-20

The programme is to force a ballot
late tomorrow II possible that will be
without result. The Taft vote on the
first ballot, II present predictions hold
good, will place him about ten or fif-
teen votes below the necessary $40.
1t thus will be demonstrated to the
friends OF the President that all the
earnest efforts Of his political generals
to win success have failed. And with
gladsome heart they Will turn to the
man who will by that time have been
selected as their new candidate.
All this they hope to accomplish to-
morrow, but the rules of procedure may
prevent the concluding ballot from being
taken until Friday.
Never for a minute have the so-called
Taft men really wanted Taft nominated.
II has been, however. vitality necessary
for them to keep him at the front on
their lines and to MAINTAIN their conten-
tions that he was their candidate and
that he had their loyal support.
When Il is remembered that the very
men who up TO now have been supposed
ly supporting the President are the very
men who four years ago were opposing
him. II may be seen that the President
has been leaning his candidacy upen
broken reeds.

Ioting proceeded, would be practicable.
It has been tried in other conventions,
but has always failed to work.
A proposal seriously put forward is
that whoever the nominee, the second
highest man in the balIotiRF shall be
named for Vice President Such a plan
might have to be modified on account
of geographical conditions, and there
might be some difficulty in getting the
candidates themselves to agree to IL.
Naturally, none Of them would at this
juncture admit that he would accept
any honor less than that OF the Presi-
Dental nomination. Managers who have
commented on the suggestion, say they
would be delighted 10 have any OF the
opposing candidates run in second place
IL their own candidate was successful
None Of them express any eagerness to
agree TO any pact beforehand that would
necessitate their favorite accepting
secondary honor.
Josephus Daniels. national committee
man from North Carolina, who is him
self a Wilson man. is advocating the
proposal actively. He believes firmly that
Wilson is to De the nominee.
1t is believed that the subcommittee on
arrangements. upon whose shoulders
rests the duty of selecting a candidate
for temporary chairman. will name AL
ton B. Parker tomorrow night II they
find that William Jennings Bryan is not
opposed TO him. The fact that Thomas
F Ryan. who has not been conspicuous
in Democratic national affairs since the
Parker campaign, is actively pushing
Parker for the place, has aroused some
unfavorable comment There was a gen.
eral agreement among members OF the
subcommittee that no final action should
be taken until Bryan had been heard
from. II might be unpleasant to name
Parker and then have the whole plan
spoiled II Bryan decided he was not the
right man and attempted to fight his
nomination from the floor.
Bell or O'GOrman.
Z In such an event, progressive and con-
servative lines would be drawn sharply,
and something similar to the fight
against Root in Chicago would occur.
And just at present the leaders are de-
termined that the Baltimore gathering
shall be as unlike that at Chicago as
they can make it. In this connection
it is suggested that Theodore Bell. who
was temporary chairman Of the Denver
would be a proper man to
make the keynote speech this year. SEN
ator O'Gorman remains q strong posi-
bility, however, and 1t. is known that
Bryan would offer no objection to his
selection.

dates are handing out arguments and
news for their respective favorites. There

IT'S UP no WAYMAN


The October grand jury meets
tomorrow. There are four things
States Attorney Waynan has
promised to bring before that
jury. they are
The vice situation.
The murder of Frank Witt by
Hearst gunner.
The murder of George HEIR by
Hearst gunner.
Under the pressure of Big Bush
ness, Wayman fell down on his
vice crusade.
Much can still be accomplished
if Wayman will permit the grand
jury to investigate vice condi-
tions.
1t will be interesting to see if
Wayrnan will permit the grand
jury to do so.
AS to the other two cases-the
Witt murder should have been
presented to the July grand jury,
the HEIR murder to the August
grand jury.
Wayman has solemnly prom
ised to present both the Witt and
HEIR cases to the grand jury
which meets tomorrow.
It will be interesting to see if
he carries out that promise.
Tomorrow is your last chance
to register. Do it if you want to
vote in November.

says:
With crop prospects increasingly

uation. both in fundamental condi-
tons and in volume of transactions. Is
better than it has been for years.
The problems now are not those OF
depression but becoming those Of
prosperity. 1t is no longer a shortage
OF orders, but of capacity to supply

offer premiums for prompt delivery.
A shortage of labor. not alone in this

buying literally of supplies and are
placing heavy advance orders but
there is a prospect Of shortage of cars
to carry the traffic of the country. It
IS noticeable that merchants are now
disposed to buy more freely for adj
vance needs. High or unsettled prices
still. however. complicate conditions
in some trades.
Although the dry goods trade is very
dctl|e. especially In the west. south
and northwest. yet there is consider
able disposition in cotton goods to
await more stability in the price Of
raw cotton. The shoe trade is retard-
ed by h continued high prices Of
leather and hides. From the iron and
steel industry nothing but the most
favorable reports are forthcoming;
plants are working to capacity, stocks
OF pig iron are. being reduced and the
demand by the railroads and other.
is large and urgent.
The best reflection of the prevailing
activity in the steal mills is the readi-
ness OF buyers to pay premiums for
prompt delivery. but many of the
larger corporations are opposed to the
acceptance of this premium business.
