SHERMAN TALKS
ON TAFT'S CHANCES
Believes the President viii Win.
Other Visitors at the
White House.

. Absolute confidence in President Tafts
denomination was expressed by Vice
President Sherman yesterday. following
a conference with the President.
Although denying that his visit had
any political significance, the Vice Presi-
dent admitted that he had talked over
the situation with the President.
Il have no hesitancy In saying that I
sincerely believe the President will be
nominated at the Chicago convention.
Although / have no exact figures at
present, 1 have every reason to expect
that Mr.. Taft will lead Col. Roosevelt
by at least 100 votes This is my sin
cere belief. and not the usual line Of
political gun
Representative Dan Anthony OF Kan
sas called at the. White House, and
came from his conference with the Pres
ident with a smile on his face.
President Tafts nomination practi-
caIIy Is assured said the Kansan. Il
don't see how anybody can beat him."
Senator Smith OF South Carolina. who
called at the White House with Senator
Overman Of North Carolina, said
The Taft steam roller is beginning to
get in its good work, and It looks like
the President will control the Chicago
convention. The Taft victory in Ohio
undoubtedly will have its moral effect
on the delegates. and I look for a sweep

The Taft headquarters announced win

do nothing OF the kind.
At almost the same hour Information
was obtained from the Roosevelt head
quarters that within a day or two an
nouncement will be made that two more
Alabama delegates have signed state
ment to the effect that they win dis
regard their instructions and vote for the
colonel.
This has brought the Southern delegate
question. to the point where II Is OF the
1ravest concern to the Taft forces. ana
where decisive action must be taken.
Both Are Postmasters.
Such action will be taken-at least It
Is frankly threatened by the Taft lead
ers.
Both TrammelI and Daughtry happen
to be postmasters. the one at Dotham
and the other at Hartford. Ala. Tram
melrs term expires in December OF this
year. and according to the Roosevelt
supporters. Daughtry's term also expires
soon enough to make him convenient
prey OF the administration.
'Trammeli and Daughtry will not go
over to Roosevelt. They will stick with
Taft" was the positive statement from
Taft headquarters
They won't dare remove Trammsll
and Daughtry from ONCE" said Judge
Oscar r. Hundley, OF Birmingham Ala
one Of the contesting Alabama delegates.
The Taft people have made similar
threats before, but they are afraid to
carry anything OF the sort through"

punch.
They fought this way until fifteen sec

was considerably relieved when he learn
ed that Col. Lucas was leading $50 ma
rlnes through the Guantanamo district at
the very moment he was making his
protest.
Mr.. Lewis said that when he left Cuba
several days ago II was in the belief that
the Gomez government was going to af-
ford proper protection to all American
interests in the disturbed regions. Since
then. daily reports received from three
OF his managers in Cuba have convinced
him that the menace to American inter-
ests has greatly increased, instead OF
lessened. The railroad company has al
ready suffered about 10000 damage from
the depredations Of the blacks, two sta
tions being burned. and other property
destroyed. Mr.. Lewis advanced the
opinion that. in view OF the inability OF
the Cuban government to AFFORD protec-
ton to the property OF Americans, the
United States should adopt q more vigor-
Gus policy in Cuba. He declared himself
in favor Of action by the Washington
government, which. instead OF waiting
until the rebels bad destroyed American
property, should serve to prevent such
losses.
Managers Of the large American. Brit
ish, French, and Spanish sugar estates In
the Guantanamo district have asked the
Cuban government TO detail guards Of 100
regular soldiers to each OF their mills and
20 soldiers for each Of their cane helds.

impossible, as Il would require the tying
