Of the next few days.
Things in HurIy-BurIy Now.
Just now in the hurly- burly of pre-.
convention activities things are in
rather chaotic state, but the atmos.
phere will clear in a day or so as the
national committee nears the end of
its work on the delesate contests and
attention will be turned to the real
issue at stake, the issue which will
decide the nomination. This is whether
there is any truth in the
charges of the Taft managers that
Roosevelt emissaries have been work
ing on attempts to induce some of the
Taft delegates in the south to bolt
their Taft instructions and vote for
Roosevelt, and, if these charges are
true whether the deal can be pulled
off. This is one of the things that will
be known in the history-making con-
vention that will be held in the coli
scum next week.
The convention crowds are much
noisier than they were four years ago.
The main stage Of the preliminary
show is the lobby of the Congress
hotel and tonight {Thursday) 1t seems
to be peopled with the kind of crowd
Col. Roosevelt must have had in mind
when he coined the phrase "Out
Patients of Bedlam." The management
of the hotel has given up hopes Of
keeping order. There are a hundred
arguments on tap in every corner of
the room, and an occasional burst Of
song by various barber shop quartets
to add to the din.
With things at this stage five days
before the convention opens it Is diff
ficult to estimate just what the situa-
ton will be when the big bulk of state
delegations arrives.
Certainly Chicago next week will be
no place for a nervous man.

as Roosevelt providing there is no
choice on the first ballot.
! 1t was reported that the Taft lead
ers had abandoned the idea of asking
| the convention to pass resolution
compelling delegates to obey instruc-
tons until released by the candidates.
Many of the Taft people thought this
plan which is said to have been sug.
gested by General Powell Clayton of
Arkansas would effectually bring their
delegates from the southern states in
line. Today, however, Taft leaders in
several northern states objected to
the plan and insisted that Taft was
the second choice of number Of dele
gates instructed for Roosevelt who
would be willing to change their votes
after the first ballot.
In this class are said to be twenty
from Illinois, six from Ohio, eight from
PENNSYLVANIA and five from Maryland.

of the LaFollette strength in COM

To this end the Roosevelt forces have
