to Taft and to Roosevelt though there is general belief that if these men were forced to take one side or the other they would go to Roosevelt a long time be- fore they would go to Taft.
 Neither Has Majority
 Impartial observers. however, agreed that despite all the paper estimates on either side neither Taft nor Roosevelt had a certain majority and that both the Roosevelt and Taft leaders knew in their hearts that to win they must acquire on the one hand or hold on the other, a lot of the delegates from the south.
 The Taft men affected entire confidence on this subject.
 These negro delegates from the south.' said one of these men. "are not of the kind that used to make scandal by yield ing to arguments other than those of a political nature. Many of them are men of property and standing in their com munities. They will stand fast and no blandishments or temptations of a cor rupt character will sway them
 The Banks letter of last night, how ever, gave the Taft people considerable anxiety and they devoted eager atten- tion to the southern delegates. Further more they took occasion to issue threat that breaking of instructions by Taft delegates from the south would provoke retaliation in other quarters.
 'Instruction breaking is two-edged sword,' MT. Mckinley said in state ment issued early in the evening, which will cost Mir. Roosevelt and his over zealous campaign managers more than they can hope to gain.

 There appears to be several good req sons for the absence of compromise talk. In the first place neither side dares to make the overtures even if they were believed necessary. On both sides it is felt that such proposal would be ''trea- son to the cause' In the second place, 1t is fully realized that the slightest sug- sestion of a compromise would be seized upon as a sign of breaking confidence and wavering delegates would make swift occasion to break and run | Nor was there much serious talk today of a Roosevelt bolt, though tho sub ject was by no means forgotten.

Further Confession

"As further confession of weakness Colonel Roosevelt is expected to decide that he must enter the convention hall itself and address the convention in plea for votes as the climax of an ex- ploded candidacy"
 About Taft headquarters none of the questions raised as to the fidelity of south ern delegates to their Taft instructions seemed to arouse any anxiety. The Taft leaders pointed out that any bolting of in- structions in the south would pave the way for the desertion from the Roosevelt standard of delegates friendly to the President. instructed for primary con- tests The Illinois delegation was par ticularly referred to-

the making of the permanet roll of the convention
 "If the Taft people Try to put this thing over through the committee you will see the fun begin" one of the Roose- welt leaders said
 Some went so far as to say that the explosion which this effort would cause would prevent the permanent organiza- tion of the convention. This point prob ably will be reached on Wednesday and to that time all hands look forward with concern.
 Taft Men Not Disturbed
 The calm routine of the conduct of the Taft campaign was not disturbed by the advent of Colonel Roosevelt. Secretary Hilles, Director Mckinley and William Barnes. Jr of New York, who has rooms just below the Taft headquarters, con- tinued the reception of Taft delegates even when the cheering of the street crowds listening to Roosevelt sounded through the windows A few moments after Roose- welt had been safely placed in the head quarters hotel Director Mckinley Issued a statement characterizing the arrival Of Roosevelt as "the last big bluff of the Roosevelt forces in this fight"
 Among the various reports put out py the Roosevelt political managers today we're those of alleged accessions to their ranks from among the Taft forces in the south and west" the statement said The fact is that the Taft lines are so strongly entrenched that not single gain was made by Colonel Roosevelt. On the con trary word reached the Taft headquarters, as result of tactics of Colonel Roose- velt's managers that for every southern delegate lost to President Taft two will be gained from the Roosevelt ranks in the north and west It can be stated with emphasis that instructions breaking is two-edged sword which will cost MT Roosevelt and his over zealous campaign managers more than they can hope to gain The first indication on the roll call of the violation of instructions by dele gates instructed for President Taft will cut a Gordian knot for many Roosevelt delegates who wear their present honors uneasily.
