President Taft Says
There Will Be No
Third Candidate

WASHINGTON, June 14--"There will
be no third candidate All the inforrna
ton l get is that will be nominated or
the first ballot with votes to spare"
That was President Taft's answer to-
day to a visitor who asked his position
in regard to a compromise candidate at
the republican national convention.
Friends Of the president in Washington
today said that If he were not renomi-
mated he would decidedly oppose either
Senator Cummins or Senator La Toilette
as compromise candidates. The pres'-
dents opposition to these two senators
his friends said, would be based largely
on their attitude toward the courts and
the recall of judges and decisions.
Some of Mr., raft's friends declared TO-
day that II he were confronted with the
necessity of naming his preference for a
compromise candidate they believed he
would turn to some man like Senator
Root of New York or former Vice Presl-
dent c. w Fairbanks of Indiana. 1.
became known today that Mr.. Fairbanks
is the presidents choice for chairman Of
the committee on resolutions.

CHICAGO, June 14-(Special Telegram }
The committee session grinding on con-
tests was comparatively short today, in
fact the shortest since We have been
sitting. The early adjournment is ex-
plained. as is also the adjournment of

date them and thus get through with

delay. The only contests passed on were
those from Oklahoma and Tennessee
arising from dual factional organizations.

cases of this kind, the evidence is con-

the hearings this morning A. R. Cruzen,

but now residing in Idaho. from which
he comes as delegate. sat as a proxy
for Senator Borah.
Il am glad l had this opportunity to
come in here" said Mr. Cruzen, who
by the way, is red hot Roosevelt man.
People outside have very mistaken
notion of how your proceedings are being
conducted, and do not understand that
there are two sides. where merits may
be nearly evenly balanced. I do not be-

NEW YORK, June 14.-Theodore
Roosevelt announced this afternoon that
he had decided to go to Chicago per-
sonally to lead his fight for the nomi-
nation. He will leave New York at $50
this afternoon over the New York Cen
trail.
Colonel Roosevelt said he was going
to Chicago in response to the unanimous
demand of the Roosevelt delegates. He

Post, former governor of Porto Rico
rs your decision the result of what
you have heard from Chicago today?"
the colonel was asked.
Il have heard a good deal" he re-
sponded. "All I've got to say" he con-
tinued, by way of explaining his action,
lis this:
Several delegates have been in to see
me here today and l have received
countless kilograms. The absolutely
unanimous demand Of the delegates who
have already reached Chicago is that I
go. They say that the action of the ma
Arizona, the Indiana? the Kentucky
cases is such as to make the issue abso-
lutely clear as to whether the people
have the right to make their own nomi-
nation or whether a small knot of profess
sional politicians is to be permitted to
steal that right from them.
Delegates Want Him.
THE Roosevelt delegates demand that
go to Chicago not as a candidate, but
because for the time being I stand as
representing the principles for which the
rank and file Of the republican party
have overwhelmingly decided in the
states where they have had the oppor-
tunity to express their wishes at pri-
maries'
These states where the rank and file
of the republicans have declared for me
and for the principles which I represent
include those casting about two-thirds OF
the electoral vote that was cast in the
last Two elections for the republican can
didate for president. In the primary elec
tions in these states Mr.. Taft mas OBJ
tained between one-seventh and one
eighth Of the delegates.
THE delegates who thus represent the
people themselves feel that the people
have declared themselves beyond the pos
sibility % Misrepresentation, and they are
not In the mood to see the victory stolen. II
Colonel Roosevelt will reach Chicago at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon and the ex
pectation is that he will be in the con-
