EARLY THIS MORNING TAFT'S
NOMINATION REGARDED CERTAIN

His followers have decided not to
abandon the fight and there is every
prospect of series Of violent discus
sions today The report of the rules
committee is almos. certain to pre-.
cipitatc a hard struggle. The majority
has decided to recommend new rules,
which the Rooseveltors declare are
framed expressly with the intention
of perpetuating the present political
system of controlling conventions.
The supporters Of Senator La Fol
lette are also expected to attack the
report expected from the platform
committee, which adds to the trepida-
ton of those leaders who are hoping
to conserve every minute Of time to-
day in order that the convention may
not have to adjourn over until the be-
ginning of another week.
The fact that the convention will
open this morning for the fifth day,
still under the temporary organiza-
ton, is Unprecedented in the history
of the party. In order that time may

mating speeches will be short and to

The platform committee, it is re-
ported, has decided to disregard the
pressure of the advocates of woman's
suffrage and will not go on record on
the question.
The attitude of the President to-
ward the tariff will be embodied in
the platform, the members of the COM
mittee having compromised by the in

BALTIMORE, June %. William
Jennings Bryan has tclegraphed TO
five pf the presidential candidates
&c Join forces and prevent the seat
ing of Judge Parker, should he be
named by the national committee
for temporary chairman of the Demo
cratic convention The kilograms
were addressed from Chicago to
Woodrow Wilson, Speaker Champ
Clark, Congressman Foss, Governor
Baldwin and Mayor Gaynor
The fact that Bryan, in sending
out his messages, failed to address
one to Representative Underwood, is
causing much speculation among the
Democrats, who see in this move the
proof that Bryan's hostility to the
chairman of the house ways and means
committee is to be continued through
the convention.
The committeeman backing Park
er declare that they have a major
ity and that Bryan cannot hope to
control Even if he appears with a
proxy and takes part in the com
mittee meeting, they say, he would be
turned down.
Congressman Henry of Texas, re-
garded as the candidate of Governor
Wilson for temporary chairman, in
statement yesterday said that the
Progressives certainly could not agree
on the selection of Parker, known
reactionary. The Progressives, he
said, had won the last victory for the
party, giving them control of the low
er house of congress and of several
state legislatures, and must control
within the party if another victory is
to be recorded this fall.
Committeeman Thomas Taggart of
Indianapolis, who had cast his vote for
Parker as temporary chairman, an
nounced yesterday that he had done
so quite in ignorance that that vote
would be taken as an affront to
Bryan or to anyone else. SO far as
he is concerned, he explained, Bryan
could be temporary chairman and per-
manent chairman of the convention
or anything else he might wish to be-
Members of the national committee
known to be in favor of Governor
Wilson as the party's candidate say
that there is positive evidence that
Parker and Champ Clark are aligned
and that the move made to seat the
former as temporary chairman is be-
ing attempted in order to help out
the Clark candidacy.

Once the small fierce bacillus
Had a chance to thrive and fill US;
He could work unseen and kill us;
For his name was then unknown.
From the arctic to the tropic,
With an ardor misanthropic,
The bacilli microscopic
Ruled domain all their own.
But today we do not fear EN-,
For, with toxin, dope, ano serum,
Doctors quickly kill and clear 'em
From our systems with their stuff.
Now when, full, of diplococci,
We are feeling bum and rocky,
We soon brighten up, for Doc he

situation caused by the conflict Of
opinion which has long ragged between
the army and the navy on the qucs-
tion of where should be located the
great stronghold Of the United States
in the Philippines. without much
doubt, the House committee will set
tie the question. upholding the army's
view of the matter.
This will mean that money will be
forthcoming for the completion Of the
fertilization Of that Gibraltar of the
United States In the Orient, the island
Of Corregidor at the mouth Of Ma

ing It and guarding the entrance of the
bay. 1t also ewill mean that money
will be withheld from the navy project
OF building up stronghold at Subig
bay, at Olongapo, about forty miles to
the northward of Manila bay, on the
Station at Olongapo.
For some reason, against the protests
of the army men that Olongapo never
could be made into strong position,

going ahead with the building up of a
naval station there.

Rear Admiral Staunton took the navy

Favors Corregidor.
The discussion concerned the question
of where. in case OF attack BY a foreign
power, the United States should make
its final stand in the Philippines. As to
this. General Wood and the army visw
generally favors Corregidor, which. by
the work already completed AMI soon

The indications are thai the subcoin.
m.ttee and the main COMMITTEES and
probably the House itself will take the
view that .Corregidor is the place on
which to expend the money and the
work.
This means not only that Corregidor
will be made a fortification capable Of
resisting q. long siege, but that 1t Will
have all the supplies and equipment
requisite for prolonged struggle. The
indications are there will be no skimp-
