The resolutions committee of the
Republican national convention, whic

people with grievances and sugges-
tions. They received a number of
delegations-civil service reformers,
suffragettes, people with schemes for
navigation improvement, all sorts of
people with ideas for special numbers
on the federal program for the next
four years.
All these suggestions were turned
over to a subcommittee of nine who
will assemble the suggestions for final
action by the whole committee.
When the name of former Vice Pres.
ident Fairbanks was presented for
chairman of the committee the Roose.
welt leaders promptly nominated Gov.

they withdrew their candidate.
Then the election of Fairbanks as
chairman was made unanimous.
The subcommittee to assemble sug,
gestions includes six Taft men against
three Roosevelt men.
Following are the members of the
committee:
Chester H. Rowell. Roosevelt.

With the split between Taft and
Roosevelt forces in the Republican ma
tional convention having at last

threat to bolt had been made, many

the task of stirring up sentiment for a
compromise candidate. Justice Hughes
of the Supreme Court, Governor Had
ley of Missouri and Senator Cum
minis were the names under considera-
tion.
Practically all of the talk of com
promise candidate comes from the
Roosevelt followers. There was evil

that he would make the independent
fight for the presidency if he was con-
vinced there was popular demand for
him.

popular demand for me to rum" he
said.
He added that the situation was
such Kaleidoscope one that it would
be impossible for him to outline what
he would do. 1t might take some time,
he said, to ascertain the sentiment of
the people, and learn if there was a
reasonable basis for the formation of

One of Col Roosevelt's associates
who talked with him Thursday said
that he had declared his willingness to
run for President il any considerable
number of the delegates wished him
to, even il he did not carry a single
electoral district in the country.
The colonel himself said he believed
he would be able to count on the sup
port of the bulk of the Republicans in
the Western states, and1hat he would
expect to derive considerable strength
from the Democrats. He would not
express any opinion how soon after
the adjournment of the present con-
vention the new party would be
formed, should such decision be
reached.

Eleventh hour efforts to prevent a
split in the Republican party were
made Thursday as soon as the leaders

showed their willingness to save the
party by uniting upon a compromise
candidate. The chief of the Taft peace
delegation" was Murray Crane, senator
from Massachusetts, and the man ne
picked for the compromise candidate
was Albert B. Cummins, senator from
Iowa.
A four-hour conference was held by
Senator Crane and Senator Kenyon nf
Iowa, the Cummins commander-in-
chief. This ended early in the day
and at the time Senator Crane stated
that the two discussed replacing Taft
with Cummins before the convention
and that there was good reason to be-
lieve the factional fight would be set
tied.
