gates. but most OF them are here in ad
vtsory capacity.
1t Is interesting to note how the sift-
ing process eliminates the relatively in
ferior and brings before the footlights
the men who are intellectually prepared
for the contest. Governor Hadley of
Missouri led the fight against the tenn
porary roll of delegates. and he made a
splendid impression. his argument was
clear and we'll presented. His manner
was pleasing, and he held the attention
OF the audience.
Watson's Speech.
Watson. of Indiana justified the con-
fidence reposed in him by the Taft
leaders. His speech was we'll put to-
gether and his argumentative style was
suited to the work he had in hand.
Hedges, of New York, acquitted himself
most creditably. His special task was
to inform the audience of Mr.. Roose-
velt's high opinion of Mr.. Root. and he
performed II with dramatic art. Then
there were speakers who did not catch
the spirit Of the occasion; at least not
in time to save themselves from the
hasty judgment which convention
audience stands ready to pronounce.

rate. but IT Is not usually subject to
reversal. When a convention crowd
turns against a speaker the sooner he
brings his remarks to close the better
the right foot. An explanation or an
apology is sometimes ratal. The tone of
voice or an awkward gesture may call
down the derision Of the audience. And
then II is all over. One of the most
| humorous incidents In convention his
| tory occurred at Chicago sixteen years
| ago.
The Water Wagon.
A Louisiana delegate paused in the
course of his speech to take swallow

the glass a second and third time

Forbids Use
Of Name AS Candidate

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, June l9.-That
his decision not to permit the use of his
name before the Republican national
convention at Chicago is final was
made plain last night by Associate JUS
tice Charles E. Hughes, OF the United
States Supreme Court who is spending
the summer here.
When seen by a reporter Justice
Hughes confirmed a report from New
York that he had telephoned friends in
New York and telegraphed others at
Chicago that he will not under any cir
cumstances permit his name to be used
and asked that all mention of him be
stopped.
Justice Hughes stated that this deci-
sion Is Anal All use of his name is alb
solutely without authority, and he has
positively forbidden It. He will not
permit the Supreme Court of the
United States TO be brought into poll
tics, he says, and he declares that he
win not accept the nomination II 1t is
offered him

Supporter of Taft
Comedies Defeat

CHICAGO. June 19.-The following
statement made today by one of the
foremost OF the Taft men. a member of
the House of Representatives, who has
devoted no end of energy and effort to
the Taft campaign, may be taken as
good index OF the situation:

Taft. In my judgment he cannot be

that Mr.. Roosevelt will be nominated.

nation than to bring about his own.

CONFERENCES HELD
BY BOTH FACTIONS
Rumored That Taft Leaders Are
Seeking Compromise Can
didate.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The first sortie
of the day in Republican convention
circles was a report that the Taft lead
ers were seeking a compromise candi-
date. Roosevelt supporters were made
jubilant by strong rumors that at a
protracted conference of William
Barnes, jr.. Senator Penrose. Senator
Burton. and others, 1t was decided that
the cause of President Taft was hope
less and that only a compromise can
didate could be elected.
Barnes was said to have gotten Presi-
dent Taft on the long distance tele-
phone at dawn and told the President
of the situation. The report further
added that Barnes had asked the re-
lease Of the Taft delegates after tho
first ballot. but that the President had
refused.
Confer With Roosevelt.
A long conference was held by Col
onel Roosevelt with his chief leaders at
the Congress Hotel this morning. The
chiefs received their final orders and
then went to the Coliseum.
The colonel was full OF fight when he
met his leaders and showed no trace
of disappointment over his defeat yes
terday on the anniversary of the battle
of Waterloo.

worn; George w. Perkins, Governor
Hadley of Missouri, Governor Stubbs

The twenty uniformed policemen de-
tailed to aid the colonel's personal
body guard, and made up of husky men

men from various sections of the South,
took their places about the Roosevelt
headquarters before 9 o'clock.

1t Is easier to prevent Mr.. Tafts noni-

Senator La Follette's thirty six votes
and Senator Cummins' ten votes will
contribute to the defeat of Mr.. Taft.

been counted in the Roosevelt column.

side with the followers OF the cx-Presi-
dent rather than with the followers of
the President. when they are compelled
to choose.
The pot has been boiling furiously
since the first session adjourned. And
one hears all sorts of rumore while II Is
not safe to venture a prediction, still
1t Is only rejecting what one hears in
the corridors to say that theIe is more
talk of a dark horse tonight than here
tofore. The two principal contestants
have measured strength, and neither
feels as sure as h. did before the roll
call. The office seeker is not idle, and
the paramount question with him Is
not who would make an idea! candidate
or an ideal President, but Who can win.
Cummins and Borah.
Mr.. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt will find
some consolation in killing each other
of. and both may prefer to support a
third party rather than risk the support
of one by the other. Cummins and
Rorah are the persons talked Of most as
compromise candidates. 1t ought to be
easy for the Roosevelt men to support
Rorah, and the Taft men would prob
| ably find It easier to support Cummins
| than any other progressive. The reader
| NAV think the above review of the situ-
| alton somewhat indefinite; If so he is in
the attitude of mind that best befts
ole who has surveyed the field as IL
appears today is any mans race.
The convention yesterday was full OF
interesting incidents, and no one has
complained that the performance was
not up to the promises made in ad.
vance. Even a Democrat must admit
| that the delegates are a fine looking
body OF men. They are the pick of the
Republican party Of the nation. There
