TAFT is SEEKING
INSTRUCTED MEN

Washington, April 9.-tSpecial.)-
Special Significance attaches to the po-
litlcal developments OF the last two
or three days in New York and Penn
sylyania. 1t has been made clear In
both of these states that the organiza-
tion leaders are against instructing
their delegates to the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago
From the beginning of the campaign
the Taft managers have exerted them
selves most strenuously to secure in
structions everywhere. 1t has been
fairly assumed that where they were
defeated in the effort to obtain in
structions, the delegates elected were
not for Taft; but in line with Mr. Me
Kinley's policy as n claimer, they have
not hesitated to claim delegates even
under such circumstances. Now the
organization leaders i'm both New York
and Pennsylvania have taken u defi-
nate stand against instructions. Will
liam Barnes, Jr., chairman OF the re-
publican state committee In New York
and boss Of the state machine, has
come out positively against the adop-
tion of resolution o. Instruction at
the state convention now In session In
Rochester The Taft people have
pleaded with Mr.. Barnes In vain and
have even gone so far as to make more
or less open threats. but without in
fluenclng Mr.. Barnes as they desired.
In Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania, the situation lis
somewhat different, owing to the fact
that the primaries to be held in that
state on April 13 admit of the express
sion OF the preference of the voters as
to presidential candidates. The Penn
sylyania law permits a candidate for
delegate to the national convention to
have printed In the space beside his
name on the ballot, the name of the
candidate for the presidency whom he
will support. In practically every con-
gressional district in that state Roose-
welt delegates have been nominated who
have taken advantage Of this provision
Of the law. The Taft people sought to
prevent this by mandamus proceed
ings, but in six or eight different cases
the courts have uniformly decided in
favor Of the Roosevelt forces and the
name OF Roosevelt will appear upon
the primary ballots beside the names

Challenge Ignored.
| The Roosevelt men I'm PENNSYLVANIA
have steadily challenged the Penrosc
organization to print the name OF Taft
beside the names OF their delegates,
but under the direction OF Senator
Penrose, the acknowledged leader OF
the Pennsylvania organization this
challenge has been steadfastly ig-
rored. The Penrose delegates are
running on u trust me" platform and
endeavoring to persuade the voters to
elect them and leave 1t to them to de-
termine at Chicago whom they will
support for the presidential nomina-
ton. Senator Penrose has been acting
with Taft all along and the Taft man.

TAFT REPUTATION
RUINS HIS CHANCES

Washington, April Ex-senator Dixon,
manager OF the Roosevelt campaign
committee, made the following state
nent tonight:
illinois republicans have declared
for Roosevelt as their nominee for
president by moro than 100000 ma
jority. The overwhelming reputation
OF Taft by the republicans OF Illinois
ends the Taft campaign for re-
nomination. Wherever legitimate pri.
mary expression has been had tho re-
publican voters have utterly re-
ipudiated Taft. Certainly no republican
leader can longer doubt that an attempt
to force Tafts nomination under these
circumstances would be suicide for the

At the Taft headquarters no com
ment was made upon the results in
Illinois. Representative Mckinley of
Illinois, director OF the Taft campaign,
did not visit tho headquarters In the
evening and his associates said that re-
turns were so incomplete Az To make
comment impossible.
The news Of the heavy Clark vote
poiled In Illinois WAS conveyed to
Speaker Clark by telephone.

speaker.
