NAME ROOSEVELT IN
SAME HALL, is PLAN
Continued from PAGE One)

Nothing will be conceded TO the
Taft forces. No matter what action
the national committee may take, the
Roosevelt forces will insist that their
conesting delegations be given seats
in the convention hall. II the tempo
rary roll OF the national committee Is
accepted as the temporary roll OF the
convention, IL will not be until after
fight that they be worth watching.
But even that defeat, and the Roose-
Welt leaders insist that they will not
sustain II but will win right or the
reel, will not end the matter. Every
contest that was brought before the
national committee will be brought
right back before the national conven-
tion's committee on credentials and
fought out there. The Roosevelt forces
believe they can capture the COM
mittee on credentials and will bend
every effort to do so. But IL they can
not do this they will present minor
ity report in favor of all OF their con-
testing delegates and will TRIP to STAN
pede the convention to their claim.
Only II they fail to do this will they
withdraw from the convention as then
constituted, and they will not with
draw from the hall but will go right
ahead, as though they had won the
fight They will name their perma-
nent cairman, adopt their platform
and nominate their national ticket
which, unless some change should be
necessary for strategic reasons, VIII
be Roosevelt and Gov. Hiram Jonn-
son, OF California, as his running mate
They will claim that they are the
Republican national convention and
will characterize the Taft forces as
boilers. They will also, Finn de-
clares, have the election machinery
In every state where there Is a d.
rect primary. In most OF them the
governor of the state Is Roosevelt
man, and they claim that the Roose-
Welt ticket will get on the ballot In
the place that is assigned to the Re
publican party In that state. In sew
eral of the direct primary states the
presidential electors were elected at
the recent primaries and they are
Roosevelt men and can be depnded on
to vote for him should the Repub-
licans carry their state at the fall
election,
That this program has alarmed the
Taft leaders was certain today and
they undertook fighting methods to
checkmate 1t. They announced that
the sergeant-at-rams of the conven-
ton will preserve order" in the con-
vention, IF 1t takes every assistant
he has and every uniformed police
man in the city of Chicago" This
was generally construed as meaning
that IL the Taft people can continue
their control OF the situation and hold
the convention that the Roosevelt
forces will be elected from the hall
IL thy start a demonstration.
But that, the Roosevelt leaders
pointed out, would not affect their
claims to regularity in any way. And
that Is what they will battle on at all
times. II is because of this fact that
Col Roosevelt has charged the ma
tional committee with doing acts
morally, II not legally, criminal" 1t
is that fact that has inspired his
every utterance assailing the acts or
the national committee and the Taft
leaders in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
and other states where he insists the
bosses robbed the people" His al
vice to the people that a convention
domineered by these men, was not a
representative Republican one, has
been at all times intended to head
of any third party talk. This has
been made absolutely certain by the
conferences of the Roosevelt steer
ing committee. They insist they will
control the present convention II pos
sible, but II not, their convention
which they will hold and not the Taft
convention will represent the real
Republican party In the nation.
That the Taft men realize just what
this means was shown by the hurry
ing to this city Of Taft leaders who
had not planned to put In an appear
ance until later In the week. After
an urgent message William Barnes,
Jr., of New York, who Is to be chief
floor lieutenant In the battle for su-
premacy, announced he would get
on the Job" IN the morning. Mean
while the "stiffening OF weakened
delegates will be In the hands of Jo-
seph Healing, of Indiana; Boise Pen
rose, OF Pennsylvania; w. Murray
Crane, OF Massachusetts; Otto, Stifel,
Missouri; Walter F. Adams, Iowa;
Harry 8. Daugherty, Of Ohio; Gov.
j. l. Mead, Vermont, candidate for
vice-president; Ralph Cameron, Ari-
zona; Col Ullman, Connecticut; T. A.
NARROW, Montana.
George W. Perkins has reserved al
most an entire floor at the Blackstone
hotel for his headquarters. There Is
also In this hotel Clifford Pinchot, for
mer chief forester, while Thomas w.
Lawson, OF Boston, has quarters there
and ex-boss Finn sleeps there, al
though he spends most OF his time In
the Dixon headquarters In the Con-
gress.
Col. Roosevelt, when he arrives
here, will have two rooms on the
fifth floor of the Blackstone that have
been reserved for him for several
weeks.
Nearly every delegate will be on
hand by Wednesday or Thursday
The convention really entered on the
enthusiasm stage when 100 Roosevelt
boomers from the Pacific coast rolled
in and Immediately started cheering
the colonel and his hat Though the
corridors OF the hotels. They are the
vanguard. the Roosevelt leaders ad-
mitted, OF more than $4,000 shouters
who will be brought here TO impress"
the delegates that the Roosevelt en-
thusiasm is real. Senator Dixon,
Senator Film and all OF the other
Roosevelt men are depending a great
