DARK HORSE
LOOKED FOR
I leaders Of the Local Taft
Forces Think That
lie May Not Get
Nomination
z EXPECT A BOLT

Arizoua are assured Of chairs at the
national convention in Chi
caeo. That is an English way OF put
ting the fact that the Taft Arizona del
esatiou was seated at Chicago yester-
day bv the national committee, the
Roosevelt contesting delegation be-
ing thrown out, or in palmer English,
the contest was disallowed
The news OF the action OF the ma
tional committee was received in |.
Bisbee yesterday by United states At /
torney j. r. Morrison, from his bro .
Their Robert Z. Morrison. Of prescott [
who is attending the meeting Of the
national committee and was quickly ]
spread among the Taft followers in
the district and. caricaturically speak
ing. the Roosevelt Joy was booted
over the Mule mountains by old Cap.
Gloom Of the Taft forces.
Il will be interesting news TO those
not following closely the political
game. that even the most ardent Taft
men in Risbee are prepared for the
nomination OF some other candidate
other than Taft or Roosevelt. The
name Of Taft figures prominently in
the newspaper headlines but it is con.
coded by politicians that his nomina-
ton is out OF the question. that the
immense Taft bulk is being used as
a weapon against Roosevelt.
Early in the campaign when Roose-
/ Welt released the Iowa delegation e.
Cummins. it, was charged by TAFT
j followers that Roosevelt was not al
/ ter the nomination but after the scalp
OF Taft The political situation has
/ so changed since that time that the
/ reverse is now believed to be true.
1t is my opinion said q prominent
I Taft worker yesterday, that when the
+ convention opens that the resolutions
committee will offer a resolution en-
| dorsing the administration of Presi-
dent Taft and that il will he carried
by the Taft majority in the conven-
ton. This vote will OF course elm
mate Roosevelt from consideration
and then a candidate, not Taft. will
be nominated. If Justice Hughes
wants the nomination ! believe he
can have it: otherwise, it looks like
Cummins too me Taft will have
sufficient number Of delegates To oh
tain the nomination, but lie realizes
] think that the fight on The ROose
Welt issue has crraCed so much bitter
ness that his nomination would en-
danger the success OF the party il
the election. ! believe that he vii
concur in the nomination OF eithel
b Cummlns or Hughes
This sentiment. locally, was borI
less than two weeks ago and serves
to illustrate how rapidly things have
tor hapPeuiu@ ia he nat ,onal poll
teal game.
The statement Of the Taft man
however, does not carry the situation
=, IRE end as be leaves the Roosevelt
4 faction out Of consideration and tn
4 IL ,svyelt polIt:ciIts DO not figure TIA
he can be left out.
1T is my guess that the Roosevelt
: men will not enter the national cor
yention at ALL" said close observe
Of the situation yesterday 1T Is
o wild guess some may think but tina
a is the way il seems 10 be. The thing
that are happening at Caicaso are a
one way, for Taft. and Roosevelt
: could hone for nothing in the nationa
convention. He wOJd have nOthin
! to gain and everything to loose IN
, fight in the convention. | believe tina
: they will ignore the TAFT faction an
!, hold a convention Of their own !
nominate Roosevelt
