whether there viii be an explicit
declaration for cut in tariff rates,
but the indications are that there will
be such declaration regarding arti
cles found by the tariff board to be
subject to unnecessarily high duties.
Proba bly, there will be no pronounce
ment on reciprocity.
There also will be dual declarations
favoring legislation to curb monopoly.
The Taft people favor the retention
of the Sherman anti-trust law; but
would build ON ii so as to define it's
operations and at the same time give
the general public the benefit of its
protecting effect. The Rooseveltians will
treat the subject along somewhat diff
ferent lines especially empowering the
necessity of regulating the operations
of the large corporations. The
Roosevelt people will press well to
the front the subject of popular gov
eminent. declaring in favor of all the
Instruments tending in that direction,
primary elections, the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people the initiative, the ref
erendum and the recall. The fact will
be recognized, however, that many of
these agencies can be employed only
in the government of the states and
in such cases the platform will specif-
cally refer them to the various com
mittees for local determination. A fe-
male suffrage plank is one of the new
features of the Roosevelt declaration.
The initiative and referendum will
not be touched upon by the Taft doc
ument. but the recall will be fatty
denounced as calculated to undermine
the stability of the government. Es-
peeial declaration will be made for
the protection of the judiciary and the
maintenance of order and the enforce
ment of law.
The principle of central banking
reserve viii be supported by the Taft
resolutions. but the Aldrieh bill will
not be referred to by name. The
Roosevelt delegation will mention the
Aldrich plan, hut to condemn it. Both
documents viii declare for the con-
servation of the natural resources of
the country. but the Roosevelt pro-
nouncement. which is understood to
have been prepared by Mr.. Pinchot,
Will be much the more sweeping in
its demands. Both pronounce for a
strong navy. The improvement of the
Mississippi river on a comprehensive
scale will be advocated in the Roose-
welt paper
The platform prepared by President
Tafts friends commends his admins
tration in high terms; the Roosevelt
paper is silent on that subject.
The Taft document will be brief if
the advice of the men at today's
meeting is needed. They take the po-
sition that only the essentials should
be presented. The Roosevelt document
will be longer and more specific.

A WARM PROPOSITION
With Roosevelt Men Positive of Nomi-
nation of His Candidate.

Chicago, June 16.-Out of a chaos
of claims and counter claims, reports
of a Break to Roosevelt from the
Taft ranks and declaration by the
Taft managers that Col. Roosevelt's
attempt to ''Stealn their delegates had
met with failure, there came, tonight,
the frank statement by Roosevelt
leaders that regardless of what the
final roundup of delegates may show,
Col. Roosevelt will leave Chicago a
nominee for President.
There will be no bolt, they say, but
if there is an attempt to make per-
manent the temporary roll reported
by the National committee. the Roose-
welt delegates believing they have a
right 10 act as Representatives of
the people" may take matters in their
own hands nominate Mr.. Roosevelt
in the Coliseum an6, claim for him
the regularity of the Republican
party.
"If any attempt is made to adopt
the temporary report made by the Ma
tional committee, which denied prac-
tically all of our contests. the conven-
ton will never get beyond that" de-
clared one of the Roosevelt leaders,
tonight.
Senator Borah, who has been talk
ed of as the Roosevelt candidate for
temporary chairman, discounted all
talk of a bolt
Personally ! do not believe there
is any chance of third party or a
bolt" he said. History shows con-
clusively that no successful party ever
was borne under such auspices. II
would be created half formed and
would go into the fight with the like
lihood of its parent weighing 1T down.
There were others among the Roose-
vcit supporters who declared there
would be no desertion for rump
convention or Convention WITHIN
convention in the Coliseum. They
based their claims upon reported as
sertions among the Taft delegates ana
the belief that the Colonel would con-
troll the situation in the convention
proper. The Taft leaders, however
were equally confident that the Pres
ident would be the regular nominee oil
his party and that their delegates
would stick"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1912-06-17

The situation continues to hinge upon
the action of some Southern delegates.
Both sides plainly were anxious over the
situation, tonight.
1t was said, tonight, that the Roosevelt
forces would make their stand in the
convention as soon as it meets and is
called to order by Chairman Victor Rose
water of the national committee. The
Roosevelt adherents frankly admitted
that they feared Senator Roots prestige
in the convention.
AS soon as Mr.. Rosewater presents the
name of Mr.. Root for temporary chair
man the Roosevelt delegates will place
another name in nomination. When the
California delegation is reached Gov. Hi
ram Johnson, according to the report
will attempt to cast the entire 26 votes
of the delegation against the New York
Senator. His right to do this will be
contested by the Taft delegates from the
4th California district, seated by the ma
tionaI committee. The vote on the tenn
porary craftsmanship usually is cast ac-
cording to the temporary roll The
Roosevelt adherents do not propose to
submit to any such arrangement, this
year, claiming the national committee is
attempting 10 denver stolen Soouss
The lines will be drawn at once and
the fight will be on.
The prediction was made, tonight, in
some quarters that the convention never
will be organized. Sergeant-at-Arms
Stone. in the meantime, is making every
preparation to quell a disturbance. In
addition to the bluecoated force inside
the Coliseum, it is said Gordon of po-
lice will be thrown about the entire
building.
