TAFT PROGRAMME.
Decision TO Raise No parliamentary
Points Against Hadiey Order.

Chicago. June 17.-Tsft and Roose-
velt leaders burned the midnight oil
tonight analyzing again and again the
first test vote of the republican nation
al convention with respect to its bear
ing on the presidential nomination.
1t was inevitable that conflicting
claims should be put out from the two
headquarters, claims far in excess Of
the bedrock figures which the leaders
are attempting to keep a close secret
WITHIN their inner councils.
Today came the first record lineup Of
the delegates. And yet ii was far from
convincing. So much so, in fact, that
predictions were freely made on all
sides tonight that neither Taft nor
Ruosevelt was likely to win on the first
ballot. This sort of talk necessarily
led to widening Of the gossip about a
ccInpromite and a dark horse.
1t appeared certain, however, that
this discussion would amount to moth
Ing hut talk until direct test Of the
strength of the opposing candidates
themselves had been made.
Tie Taft forces in the convention to-
day elected Senator Root as tempora-
ry chairman. b5S votes being cast for
him. This was is more than a major
ity Of the 1,07s delegates in the conven-
ttcn. It was realized from the first
that the vote on Senator Root, how
ever. would not reflect the actual
strength either Of Mr.. Taft or Mr..
Roosevelt.
At one conference Of the Taft lead
e-s tonight it WIS said they had scaled
down and cut out the doubtful votes
from the Root total, and their final
analysis showed 542 votes for the pres
ident. two more than enough to nom
mate. Kven these figures, 1t was said,
included few ''wobbly'' delegates and
Ioight be changed.
Tire Roosevelt leaders we're frankly
surprised at the Root vote, and claim
ed they expected him to poll between
J75 and $50 votes
They professed tonight to be jubil
ant over their view of the situation,
but at the same time it wes impossible
for them to figure out on paper ma
jjrity for the colonel
At q conference Of the Taft leaders
tonight it was decided that no peGlia
,nenaary points of order should be
made against the HadlsT motion and
that three hours should be allowed for
DEBATE, The motion will either be al
lowed to come to q vote on It's merits
or {. motion made to refer the entire

FIRST BLOOD FOR PRESIDENT TAFT At NATIONAL Convention

this convention itself shall say who
shall sit in it.
IF it is in the power of 27 men
to say who shall sit in this convention,
arbitrarily and without appeal then
we have reached the end of representa-
tive government in this country"
A round Of cheers greeted this at
tack on the national committee. Tho
delegates listened to Hadley with quiet
attention.
I'VE know but one government in
this country" he said. Government
by political party. If political con-
vention can be controlled by a group
Of men within the party, then have
we established political oligarchy.
Then have we given few men control
over party and convention"
Ex-Governor Fort Argues Point.
Governor Hadley closed in storm
Of applause, and Ex-Governor Fort of
New Jersey took up the argument.
Mr.. Fort did not get far in his argu-
ment before the crowd began to laugh
and interrupt him with cries of "Sit
down." Fort made the mistake of
answering the galleries, which clearly
held big pFeponderance of Taft SYM
pathizers. The Roosevelt people
claimed they were packed. Mr.. Fort
was constantly interrupted after that
That's right" he shouted; try to
make man sit down when he is here
fighting fraud"
Fort said it was the daty ef every
man to vote that the convention has
the power to determine whether or not
the roll prepared for the convention
was such as the convention would ac-
cept.
''Sit down." again shouted the gal
leries.

Fashion has a strong grip
on the poor as we'll as the
rich. An attempt has been
made in England to intro
duce among the children Of
the very poor the use Of
wooden shoes such as are
worn in Holland and France.
Despite the fact that these
shoes are cheap, waterproof
and almost indestructible,
they have not become popu-
lar. The children prefer to
wear wretched leather foot
gear rather than endure the
ridicule of their companions.
