NOT ALL SMOOTH
FOR ROOSEVELT
Illinois Republican Delegation
Refused to Have Hands
Tied.
COL. DEWEYS COUP FAILS
Result Is Fight Over National Com
mitteeman With Field Against
Deneen.

Chicago, May 24-Instead of being
harmonious unit for Colonel Roose-
welt the Illinois delegation to the re-
publican convention is on the verge
Of rebellion.
This became apparent as a result
Of the conference held by 80 of the
SIS delegates. II developed that two
resolutions passed at the meeting ia
vCring Colonel Roosevelt's candidacy
and asking other states TO join
for united action in support of him,
were of minor import alongside of a
resolution which did not pass.
DEWEY WANTED PLUM.
This resolution, introduced by
Colonel Chauncey Dewey, militant
pioneer of the cause of Roosevelt in
| Illinois, asked that the delegates
bow TO Colonel Roosevelts wishes
/ in the convention" This would have
meant that they would obey his COM
mands as regards temporary organ
ization and platform. In addition
there was a Joker" Whiehzmnald
have cinched Colonel Deweys fight
! for the national committeemanship.
Instead of being received with ac-
claim, there was protest from the
delegates. They declared the resolu-
ton was for the purpose of tying
their hands and they refused to go
into the convention that way. They
declared, almost in a body, that they
didn't care to have their loyalty to
Colonel Roosevelt questioned.
ALLEN AGAINST 1T.
Ira c. Copley of Aurora, f. G. AL
len of Moline and Abel Davis, county
recorder, were the principal speakers
who attacked the resolution.
They declared their willingness to
abide by the popular instruction and
vote for Roosevelt. but refused TO be
bound by further instructions as tc
their course in other affairs. Colo.
mel Dewey demanded a roll call. but
this was laughed down and the ses.
sion ended with the resolution being
dumped into a waste paper basket.
BLAME DENEEN FOR LAW.
The resolution has also accentuar
ed the fight for the national commit
teemanship. Colonel Dewey's oppo
|, nents, who favor the candidacy o,
Roy o. West, are charging an "un
holy alliance" with the Roosevelt
Taft-Lorimer forces lined up agains
Governor Deneen. This peculiar
alignment is a result of the Taft
Roosevelt fight and the Taft people
it is said, are going over to the CAM
of their opponent in order to bea

primary election act to pass. The,

TARIFF ABUSES
ARE DISCUSSED
Governor Wilson Declares Poll
tics and Business Must Be
Divorced.
ORIGINAL IDEA WAS GOOD
Worked Out, However, It Has Re-
suited in Advantage Only to
Special Interests.

New York, May 24.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson was the guest of the
Economic club at a dinner last night
and discussed Politics and Business
in furtherance of his candidacy for
the democratic presidential nomina-
ton.
There are special circumstances in
the United States which put the ques-
| tion of the relation between politics
and business before every other ques-
| tion," said the governor. These
circumstances arise out of the way in
which we have handled the tariff
question.
IDEAL OF TARIFF o. X.
''The ideal of the tariff was a pret-
/ ty one. 1t was that the government
would foster industry of every kind
and meet the interest of everybody
by customs duties which would pro-
tect the American producer against
foreign competition and enable him
to develop the virgin resources of
America and all it's unorganized en-
crgies upon a free domestic field.
But the practice has been differ
ent from the ideal. At first it was
sort of scramble fer favors. There
were no particular favolites. The
committee Of congress heard every
body and tried to please everybody.
The result was haphazar. There was
neither plan nor consistency in the
tariff schedules.
HAVE EXPERT LOBBI.
in our day we see an expert lob
by, some figures dominating all the
rest; particular interests that have
grown strong under the :ariff playing
dominating part in the whole busi-
ness of seeking fayors and privileges
by means of taxation.
More than that, we see what was
orce a general struggle for advantage
transformed into systematic busi-
Less indeed. close partnership has,
in recent decades, been established
between those who got the greatest
tariff favors and those who control
the councils of the dominating
PARTY"
