Taft and Roosevelt Heavy
Artillery at Chicago.
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT
Claims Of Supporters of Former Presi
dent That He Has Majority of Dele,
gates to the Convention Ridiculeo
by the Taft Managers.

Chicago, June 6.-Political lines fol
the coming conflict for domination OF
the Republican national convention
were sharply outlined when the heavy
artillery of the Taft and Roosevelt
forces arrived on the scene.
First came Congressman Mckinley,
who in assuming charge of his head.
quarters stated that Secretary Hilles
as the personal representative of the
president, would be ON hand shortly
and that he would aid Senator Charles
Dick of Ohio in getting the Taft eyi,
derce ready for presentation to the
committee.
Senator Dixon also arrived and took
charge of the Roosevelt headquarters,
where the feeling is even more bitter
than at any time since the former
president announced his candidacy,
because of the outcome in Ohio
The result in Ohio was peculiarly a
disappointment to the Roosevelt
forces, who had expected victory fol
lowing the success of Walter Brown
In securing his reelection as state
chairman. II was calmly stated at
Roosevelt headquarters that the selec-
tion of Taft delegates at large from
Ohio, following the Roosevelt victory
at the popular primaries, emphasizes
the difference between the Roosevelt
leaders" and the Taft bosses" and
the talk of bolt, should the Taft peo-
pie finally control the national con-
vention, was even louder than before.
Both Sides Claim Control.
That the Roosevelt forces are Ger.
tain they will have a majority of un-
instructed delegates to the convention
was made plain when the leaders
analyzed the roll of delegates in the
light of the expected action of the ma
tional committee in seating the Taft
claimants.
They pointed out that when the roll
call is submitted for confirmation
there will be with il minority report
brought in by William l.. Ward, Colo
mel Cecil Lyon and the Roosevelt com
mitteemen and that they then will
have the opportunity to demonstrate
for the first time just how far their
strength goes.
I'VE will demonstrate immediately
that the Taft claims are absurd" de-
clared Ormsby McHarg, "and we will
show that we have the votes to control
the convention"
At Congressman McKinleys head
quarters the claim of the Roosevelt
forces was characterized as absurd.
''As matter of fact" said Senator
Dick, 'if this were true why would
the Roosevelt leaders be so anxious
to impress the national committee
with the strength of their absurd con.
tests IL they have the votes to over
throw this result. Whether Mr..
Roosevelt comes here or stays at Oys.
ter Bay the Republican party of the
United States will demonstrate during
the next three weeks that it is still
the party of the people and not the
organ of any individuals ambitions. .

in small boat to fish near Lakes bay.
They anchored their boat In q canal cut
from the ocean to the bay.
Young Duncan was the first to get q
bite. After q hard fight he pulled in
his bass. Such was his Joy that he
stood up in the boat and yelled. Dancing
about, he capsized the craft.
Price was the only one OF the three
who could swim. Wilson grasped the
boat as he arose, and commanded Price
to save the boy.
Diving. Price became entangled in an
anchor rope and was close to drowning
before he freed himself. The boy came
to the surface and. screaming frantically,
was swept away.
A launch found the men an hour after
ward. Wilson, still clinging to the boat.
was fast losing consciousness.
