Penrose Says No Other Candidate Will
Be Considered at Present.

Chicago, June 20.-"We will stay
with President Taft said Senator
Penrose, when told of rumors that the
president would get out of the way to
permit the nomination of another cam
didate. $50 far" the senator con-
tinued, che is the strongest man sug-
gested and certainly there can be no
reason for dropping him until after a
roll call shall have demonstrated the
contrary. His friends do not believe
that any such necessity will arise
Some hold the view that in case of
the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt
by a boiling convention some other
candidate than Mr.. Taft might more
effectually hold the radical wing of the
party in hand.
The names of Hadley, Hughes, Cum
minis and LaFolIette were canvassed
as possible nominees.
There, however, was no early gem
eral movement in behalf of any of
them.

LAFOLLETTE WRITES
NORTH DAKOTANS
States His Platform and Incident.
ally Slaps at Col. Roosevelt for
Helping Trusts.

THE encroachment Of the powerful few
upon the rights Of the many is said by
Senator La Toilette, in q letter addressed
to the progressives of North Dakota, TO
be the great issue of the present political
struggle. In the course of the letter he
states his platform. asserting himself to
be in favor OF the initiative, referendum.
and recall, the equalization of the bur-
dens of taxation by means OF graduated
income and inheritance taxes, parcel post,
and other reforms.
He is opposed to ship subsidies, extrav-
agance in government. the Aldrich cur
rency scheme, and to reciprocity with
Canada In regard to the latter, he
makes a hit at Roosevelt by showing
that his opposition has been manifest
from the beginning.
He also has this to say about Col.
Roosevelt in his letter:
when Roosevelt became President the
total amount OF the stock and bond issue
of all combinations and trusts including
the railways then in combination, was
country over TO Taft. whom he had Sc
lected as his successor. the total capital
ization of the trusts and combinations
amounted to the enormous sum Of Sl,-
672, ,O0o. .00o more than 20 per cent of which
was water. Prices were put up on trans
portation and on the products Of the
mines and factories TO pay interest and
dividends on this fraudulent capitaliza-
tion."
Senator La Toilette also raps President
Taft for failing to carry into effect the
lower revision OF the tariff promised In
the Republican national platform OF 1905.
1t is believed in Washington that SEN
ator La Toilette will take every oppor-
tunity to combat the Roosevelt forces in
the Northwest.

Discussing the conference of the negro
bishops and ministers held in Washing
ton, and the statement issued yesterday
over their own signatures that the COL
cred voters in the Northern States in the
event Taft is nominated We will not
support him." Senator Dixon, chairman
of the national Roosevelt committee,
said:
This positive statement of the real
leaders of the negroes in the North Is of
tremendous political significance.
IF these negro bishops and ministers
are correct in their signed statement
that the colored voters will not support
Mr.. Taft II he is nominated IL means
the certain loss of the fifteen electoral
votes in Indiana, twenty-nlne in Illinois,
eighteen in Missouri, three in Delaware.
eight in West Virginia, twenty-four in
Ohio. ten in Kansas, and eight in Mary

with the elimination of these lis cleo

mean political suicide" concluded Senator

SAY Big INTERESTS
ARE FOR Mr.. TAFT
Roosevelt Committee Issues State
ment Regarding Pittsburg
Manufacturers.

The Roosevelt headquarters in this city
last night gave out the following state
ment:
THAT the big interests are seeking to
force the nomination of Mr.. Taft Is
shown by the proposed meeting at Pitts
burg. engineered by the big steel firm of
Jones & Laughlin. This meeting was
arranged with the approval of Senators
Penrose and Oliver, with whom the rep
resentatives of Jones & Laughlin were in
conference in Washington yesterday.
After discussing the situation with Mr..
Penrose and Mr.. Oliver, these men vent
to the White House. where they lunched
with Mr.. Taft. The guests included B.
F. Jones. of the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Corporation: r. B. Mellon. a powerful
banker connected with the large inter-
ests, and J. d. Gallery, the Pittsburg
traction combine magnate.
1T is the programme of representatives
of special interests to obtain a concerted
movement on the part Of allied interests
In behalf OF the nomination of Mr. Taft.
1t is intended to form Taft committee.
the organization of which is to be an
nounced with a flourish Of trumpets, in
order thus to serve notice on the en-
ployes that they must line up as their
employers dictate. This lineup is TO be
brought about by a called meeting of
the employees of the different corpora
tions, to whom the iron hand will be
applied. It is understood some of the
employees will be polled under the super
vision of a Taft worker, backed up by
a foreman or superintendent, and they
will be given to understand they must not
only declare for Taft in advance, but
must vote for Taft delegates at the pri-
maries in April.
There is an overwhelming sentiment
in Pennsylvania for Roosevelt especially
among the employees of these corpora
tons. VINO recognize in him a leader who
places the man above the dollar. This
offer to destroy the Independence OF
wage-earners will be resented not only
by the men affected, but by labor
throughout the country"
