Republican Convention Likely to
Adjourn Sine Die Before
Midnight
ALL WANT TO GET HOME
May Be Brief Fight Over Report of
Committee on Rules-Candidate
for Position of Vice-President.

CnlcaSO, June ZZ.--I nat PRESIDENT
Taft would be renominated, his run
ming mate selected following the
adoption Of compromise platform,
in which concessions would be made
to the progressives, and the fifteenth
National Republican Convention ad-
journ sine die before midnight to
night was the opinion of nearly ev-
cry party leader today. Nerves had
been frazzled by the Titanic ordeal
and the delegates and visitors alike
wanted to get home. But to do so
the greatest one day program that
ever confronted National convention
was to be settled. The leaders said
they could get through. The dele
gates hoped this would be possible.
The denomination of the president
was generally conceded by nearly ev-
cry one.
AS soon as the Credentials Com
mittee report was completed and the
final roll of delegates made up the
report of the Committee on Temper
ary organization was to be in order.
This report was brief and recon-
mended that the temporary organiZa-
ton be made permanent.
There was expected to be a brief
fight over the report of the rules COM
mittee. This might cause the assault
of the southern states representation
but the leaders were working hard
to prevent this. With the rules out
of the way, the platform was eH-
pected to be taken up late in the af-
afternoon. There were to be minority
as we'll as majority reports on this
document, but the minority report
was coming from La Toilette men in
Wisconsin and the Taft leaders ex-
pected to limit the debate to 20 min
utes side. They had the votes to
put the platform over and were GER
tain that they would be able to do so.
After the platform the nominations
were in order. Taft's name was to
be presented by Warren G. Harding
of Ohio. The Roosevelt candidacy
was not to be brought before the con-
vention, according to the early plans
of the colonel's leaders.
With Hadley, the leaders were con-
sidering the denomination Of Vice
President James S. Sherman. The
Utican millionaire's boom was taken
out of the cotton last night and care
fully shined up, and got in shape for
use. Sherman personally appealed to
Barnes some time ago to aid him in
securing the nomination.
Barnes, was today believed to be-
friendly to his Utica neighbor.
The claims of John Wanamaker,
the Philadelphia-New York merchant,
and former postmastergeneral. were
also being considered. Wanamaker
rushed from Europe to be present to
vote for Taft and to second his nom-
nation. He was declared by his
boomers to be an ideal candidate and
it was claimed as a potent argument
that with him the ticket would be in
no lack of funds for the campaign.
Borah has asserted positively and
unequivocally that he vol not accept
the nomination and is trying to head
off a quiet boom set in circulation for
him.

ernor Simon E. Baldwin today sent
the following telegram to William j.
Bryan in Chicago in answer to Bryan's
message concerning the selection of Al
ton B. Parker as temporary chair
man of the National Democratic con-
vention at Baltimore.
"Replying to your telegram, it
does not seem to me that the course
you suggest would promote harmony
at Baltimore.
"rhe Republican party has been
visibly destroying itself at Chicago.
The storm center has been the action
of its national committee in planning
for the organization Of its convention.
should regard it as unwise to agi-
tate similar cause Of difference, re-
specting the action of the Democratic
National committee.
"The Democratic party of Connect
icut stands for three things:
"1-Opposition to grants of speci-
al privileges to special interests;
"2- Opposition to generalization of
power at Washington by encroach-
ments on the rightful spheres of the
states;
"3-Economy in public expendi-
lures.
"All those who believe that these
principles should be steadfastly main
tanned belong in the Democratic par
ty.
"No party can expect to deserve
success in the conduct of national af-
fairs which is not broad enough to
comprehend many who differ widely
in their views on minority points. 1t
will have right wing, a left wing and
center, all CO. ordinates of one and
the same political body.
"The Democratic party stands uni
ted on the cardinal points above stat
ed. 1t has chosen a national commit
tee with power to arrange for it's nat
ional convention. | appeal to you as
the great leader, for whom / have
cast my vote in former campaigns as
one agreeing with you on those points
though differing with you as to some
others, to use your commanding in
huence to secure harmony at Balti-
more, not by opposing the choice of
any particular Individual as chair
man of the convention, but rather in
line of emphasizing points of agree
ment instead of points Of difference.
am leaving the national committee
to act on the recommendation Of the
subcommittee as they may think
most wise. Let the Republicans en-
JOY the monopoly of pre-convention
personalities.
Baltimore, June 22.-Judge Alton
B. Parker, named as temporary chair
man of the Democratic national con-
vzention by a subcommittee Of the
national committee will refuse to step
aside in order to plicate Bryan.
A statement to this effect came
from Norman E. Mack, chairman of
the national committee through one
of his secretaries.
"Mr. Mack says that Judge Parker
is in the fight to stay and will not
withdraw" said the secretary.
National committeeman James
Guffy of Pennsylvania, long time op-
ponent of Bryan added written state
ment to the effect that inasmuch as
Parker had supported Bryan in all his
campaigns Bryan's opposition to Par
ker at this Tine is both unfortunate
and bad policy"

PLATFORM OF
THE CONVENTION
Offer Plank Endorsing Administra-
tions of Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Taft
TARIFF PLANKS MAIN ISSUE
Woman Suffrage to Be Eliminated
Declares for Ship Subsidies-Op-
poses Recall of Judges.

Chicago, June 22.-Condensing the
platform with endorsement of Pres
ident Taft and the tariff planks the
principal dispute was begun this
morning by the Resolutions Commit
tee.
Presentation of the platform to
the convention at noon today was the
program.
Roosevelt delegates centered their
platform fire on the proposal to en-
dorse the Taft administration; they
are strenuously fighting even the
mention of Taft's name. AS q COM
promise the Taft platform builders
offered plank endorsing Mckinley,
Taft ALL! Roosevelt in the same
breath.
Waterways Improvement receIv-
ed opposition from Senator Burton OF
Ohio. He caused such squabble in
the committee last night that an ad-
iournment was taken until today, for
completing the tentative draft.
Elimination of the woman suffrage
plank originally drawn, giving wo-
men suffrage in state elections only,
was practically agreed to today, be-
fore the committee met. 1t has slim
chances of reinsertion.
A new provision agreed to is
declaration for a ship subsidy reduc-
ton on goods brought to this coun-
try in American ships.
Another plank declares opposition
to the recall of judges and judicial de-
cisions, practically as written by Will
liam Barnes, jr., Of New York IN the
Rochester platform.
The tariff plank is another disputed
question, which will probably reach
the convention floor. The progress
sives have agreed to plank declar-
ing for revision of the tariff down
ward "to equalize the difference in
production at home and abroad
but the Taft draft proposes to add
TO it the words, land reasonable
profit to American manufacturers
The "high cost Of living will be
touched upon as part of the tarlh
plank, as illustrating the necessity
for safe and sane gradual reduction
of the Payne -Aldrich schedules" but
in accordance with the findings OF q
ncn-partisan tariff commission. Con-
tiuation of President Taft's tariff
commission may not be recommended.
Cognizant Of the power of the con-
vention "steam roller" the Roosevelt
forces today abandoned a plan to
bring in a minority report, incorpor-
ating the Roosevelt ideas.
But the La Toilette faction pro-
poses to report a straight out and
out La Toilette platform attacking
the money trust" and declaring for
the initiative, referendum and recall,
and advocating direct primaries, IN

Chicago. June 22.-Declsion was
reached shortly after noon today by
the Roosevelt supporters that they
would not have any minority report
presented to the convention on the
platfo,m. Gov. Hadley announced
that the committee had made num-
ber of concessions to the progreSslveS
and that they would make no fight on
the floor to have minority report ad-
opted. Hadley said the only disap-
pointment to the Roosevelt side was
the defeat in the committee Of the
presidential preference primary plank
which was voted down by a majority
of one.
1t was defnately stated that the La
Toilette followers will make the fight
for a progressive platform in the
form of minority report.
The majority platform when COM
pleted did not mention the recall OF
Judges or judicial decision the init
alton of referendum.
The administration OF President
Taft was endorsed and the president
himself given the highest praise.
