Taft Men Say Compromise Candidate
Is Out of Question.

Chicago. June 20.-The general
headquarters of President Taft prac-
tically suspended all effort, tonight, so
far as working among the delegates
to the convention was concerned. AL
though the constantly recurring gossip
of compromise candidate disturbed
the Taft managers at times, they pro-
fessed to be absolutely confident that
the delegates who voted with Taft on
the first two ballots would be firm TO
the end. After emphatically declaring
that President Taft would be renomi-
mated Director Mckinley in a state
ment, tonight, said:
There is not the slightest possibili-

of a compromise candidate"

Favors Absolute Control by the Ma
jority of Any Convention.

Chicago, June DIFFERENTIATION of
the Steam roller so far as the Ma
tional committee of the Republican
party is concerned and recognition of
the direct primary plan of electing
members of the committee were the
two radical and apparently contradic-
tory changes made. today, in the rules
governing the National committee by
the rules committee of the convention.
The Roosevelt members of the COM
mittee did not oppose either. They
WILL however introduce a minority re-
port to the convention insisting on
reduction of Southern representation
in the convention and upon the right
of the various states to dictate the
method and manner under which their
reports on the National committee
shall be elected In other respects the
rules that governed the Republican
convention of four years ago were
adopted 20 to 6.
The steamer roller" amendment
provides that when any member of the
committee bolts or refuses to support
the nominee of the Republican party
he shall be summarily deposed The
his successor. In the past the sue
censorship was dictated by the state

state electing its national committee
