SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.-Colonel Harris Weinstock. governor Johnsons commissioner to investigate the l. w W.s of san Diego read a letter at luncheon at the Commonwealth club, the writer of which warned him he might get taste of the Ben Reitman episode.

There was a better way to Ieal with those agitators If statements are true that they preached seditiOn on the streets they should have been prosecuted and sent to pris- on.

HACKENSACK. x. J. May 25.- In the four most thickly populated New Jersey counties, Taft today as sured his audiences that his renom- ination for the presidency is certain His tour through the "commuting" district was in an automobile over dust roads At Passaic, Taft said there are many who have not made up their minds how they will vote in this contest, who will be influenced by what the victory will be. l don't think that is wise but if you really want to know how it is going, l will tell you. I have more than 510 delegates to the republican conven- ton. pledged or instructed for me. Only $40 are necessary fI, the nom nation" In many speeches the pres ident discussed the charges made by Roosevelt that the political bosses" are supporting the presidents candi- dacy. He denied this.

ELIZABETH, N. J., May 25.-With all the emphasis at his command Roosevelt declared today he would not permit "discredited politicians and bosses to take control of the republican national convention. He asserted that professional politicians in the past have been accustomed to trying strong arm tactics" ROose welt made these statements in what he called q fighting speech" at Plainfield. Our opponents have no thought of winning unless they can win by deliberate cheating in the national convention" said ROOse- welt al Plainfield. The national com mittee is supposed to pass upon del egates to sit in the convention. If it chooses it can Oust delegates fully elected by the people and put in others It is therefore. vital to have d national committee that really rep resents the people"
 President Tafts expression of belief that he will win the nomination was referred to by Roosevelt here to- night. T see MT. Taft says he is going to win" the colonel said. Well. during the Ohio campaign he announced that the decision in Ohio would settle it. Ohio has decided and has given me 40 out of it's AS delegates"

Arizona republican., 1912-05-26

At a late hour last night reports from several sections of the state were of the most reassuring character from the Taft standpoint The earliest wire came from Stafford, from the chairman of the state county committee, and was directed to Charles Arnold, of this city. It stated that, as anticipated, the sup porters of President Taft were heavily in the majority and that the county would send four delegates to the con ventiOn at Tucson.
 Then, later other reports began to drift in. Particularly from the north everything seemed to be for the presi- dent Yavapai, Mohave, Coconino, Apache. and Navajo are all in line. Cochise will send d divided delegation; but the situation there, so far as can be learned. is much on the same order as that prevailing in Maricopa county; and it is believed that the credentials committee, when it comes to pass upon the claims of the contestants, cannot do otherwise than seat the Taft dele gation.
 From all the reports it seems certain the Taft forces have won practically all along the line. It is impossible, with the material at hand, to make an absolutely correct list of the delegates that will stand for the two candidates; but that Taft has a large majority there can be no doubt. The supporters of the president. judging from the re- turns, will have at least so votes in the convention; and the probabilities are they will have many more than that. But if they have only 50, that will give majority of A, which insures that a delegation favorable to the president will be sent to the convention at Chi cago.

 Held Yesterday
TAFT DELEGATION
 NOW SEEMS ASSURED
Twenty Delegates and Al ternates Chosen to Rep resent Maricopa
 Go. at Tucson

The republican county central com mittee met yesterday afternoon in Lamson hall
 A quorum responded to the roll call, and in the absence of Chairman P. H. Hayes. Paul Reneau Ingles was placed in the chair.
 A committee on credentials was appointed. and soon presented a re- port, the claims of the opposition that there would be a majority in attend ance being clearly disproved.
 A list of delegates and alternates to the Tucson convention on June third was then presented and unan- imously elected, and by another unan- imous expression were instructed to vote for Taft instructed delegates at the state convention.
 The meeting throughout was har- moniOus and enthusiastic, and is be- leved to be a material straw show ing which way the wind will blow at Tucson. It seems assured a solid Taft Arizona delegation will be sent to Chicago to vote and work for the romination of the president
 The delegates and alternates chosen yesterday are George Kirkland. Clint LauVer, George Hahn, w. P. Medley, Ned Creighton. Paul 1ngles, Celora NJ. StOddard. Jesus Melendez. Hugh Daggs, Frank Woods. J. c. Adams, Earl Curtis. Shirley Christy, George Mauk B Wingar. Ed Jones, Charles

 Roosevelt supporters held so- called primary election throughout the county yesterday Those who favor the nomination of President Taft took no part whatever in this pri- mary, and it is alleged that in sev- eral instances democrats and social ists were drafted to make up the election board. In the city only AIS votes were cast-l51 in the first ward; 155 in the second ward: 101 in the third ward and 6S in the fourth ward. The delegates chosen as a re- suit of the vote yesterday will meet in county convention June l and name delegates who will be sent to Tucson in the fOrlorn hope that they may be seated against the regularly selected delegation named by the county cen tral committee.
