Fairbanks today.
Both a subcommittee OF nine ap,
pointed to draft the platform, and the
main committee itself were to meet
at 10 o'clock today. The plan as an
nounced by Fairbanks, was then to
call another recess until tonight. The
possibility that there will be two re-
publican platforms means a difference
in the declarations to be prepared by
the Taft men, they say.
Three or four drafts of complete
platforms are in the pockets OF reso-

CANDIDATES FOR
SECOND FIDDLE
Available Timber for Nomination for
Vice President on RepublI-
can Ticket.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, June 20.-There are only
three bonafide vice presidential booms
in Chicago today based on the assump
ton that President Taft is to be re
nominated by the republican national
convention. They are those of James
IS. Sherman of Utica N. Y, the incum-
bent who has the backing Of the New
York delegation headed by William
Barnes, Jr; John Wannamaker, the
Pennsylvania merchant, who rushed
from Europe to get here to second the
nomination of Taft. and Governor
Mead of Vermont.
The latter candidate declares he is
willing to run on any ticket, no mat
ter who is selected as its head. He
insisted that he is progressive enough
for the progressives and also that he
is old enough in the political game to
command the support of the eastern
conservatives.
The Taft men would also like to
start booms for Senators Cummins OF
Iowa; Borah, of Idaho. or Hadley of
Missouri, but up to the present these
statemen insist there can and will be
nothing doing,
Cummins' men say 1t is the top OF
the ticket for him or nothing doing
Hadlev will not discuss the vice presi-
deflcy and Borah has said on several
occasions that under no circumstan-
ces would he accept a nomination for
the vice presidency. In the field OF
available vice presidential candidates
with Roosevelt, Governor Johnson
leads today, because of his pre-emin-
ent fight for the colonel, his western
location and strong progressive fol-
lowing.
Governor McGovern has strong
backing for place with Roose-
Welt. but 1t is said could not receive
solid support from Wisconsin.
Other vice presidential timber re-
ceiving mention with Roosevelt are
Governor Glasscock, of West Vir,
ginia; Former Senator BeYeridge. of
Indiana; Judge Ben Lindsey of Colo
RADIO; Governor Chase Osborne, OF
Michigan; Senator Miles Poindexter
Of Washington; Governor Deneen of
and Governor Afdrich of Ne
braska.

NEW YORK, June 90. Today's
stock market was largely repetition
of yesterdays, with the same strong
undertone, the same narrow trading
and the same lack of enthusiasm.
Everyone was too busy reading the
bulletins from Chicago to give much
heed to the perfunctory performance.
After opening slightly below yester-
day, prices recovered, and most shares
showed fractional gains for the day.
