out of that chaos.

report was vigorous one In which he
made singing charges against the ma :
jority of the committee for refusing to
hear certain evidence in regard to
frauds at the primaries. Stillwell in
this showed himself to be a fighter of
the first water.
The majority report was adopted by

were seated. Then the convention pro
ceeded with it's business and in another

against 1T and tried to prevent it from

had done its work and that Republi-

announced that he wanted to be in a
position to support the nominee of the
Chicago convention. He said he had
made his fight and had lost. and that
was all there was TO it as far he was
concerned. He did not propose to al
low the Taft Roosevelt fight to cas-
any reflection on his Republicanism.
This attitude made him many new
friends. Those who had opposed him

a worthy foe that fights square and

enough to acknowledge a licking wher
it came to him. He did not hold any

OF as the man likely to be nominated
by the Republicans for Governor of In

Theodore Roosevelt for President at
the Chicago convention. Just who will
be the nominee IL President Taft is re-
nominated is a question. as there are
several names prominently before the
party for consideration in that event.
Stillwell, however. seems to nave the
cafi on the nomination if Roosevelt Is
chosen. Up TO this time Stillwell has
paid no attention to the talk of his
nomination. He has said that he did
not regard the talk as of serious ma
ture and that therefore he was giving
it no heed But the Roosevelt leaders
are talking right along and apparently
laying plans to bring about StillwelI $
nomination.
