Mr.. sherman's We've are such that
it Is believed possible he may work in

It is reported that the recall OF
Judges and OF judicial decisions. which
made by Colonel Roosevelt during the

the platform prepared by him. Colonel

and consequently it is held that the
subject should not be Included in a
national platform.
The Taft platform in all probability

otherwise condemn principles enun

the two candidates on the trust prob

One Of the new arrivals who made
dire predictions was Francis j. Heney.
of California, Roosevelt leader and Of
with former Governor George G. Par
dee. Mr.. Heney will appear before the
national committee as attorney for the
California Roosevelt delegates VINO
have been contested.
'T expect to see the committee steam
roller thru the contests and give Taft
even Washington and Texas" he said.
Even then Taft would only have 54S
overwhelmingly enough to nominate
and I feel satisfied he wouldn't be
able to hold them I'm positive Roose-
Welt will win
Explains California Case.
Regarding the threats of the Taft
managers to contest the entire delega-
ton from California on the ground that
the election Of delegates by primary
was illegal, Mr.. Heney said:
81 can't see where the Taft people
would have a chance Of disfranchising
the whole state. We elected twenty
six delegates at large in the state un-
~, In "a
from each congressional district, as mas
been the regular practice.
THE crux of the situation is this
The Taft, Roosevelt and LaFollette
people all accepted the law. They
signed affidavits applying for a place
on the ballot. The state was carried
by big majusity for Roosevelt and
we have the entire delegation"
hadlsx 40 Floor Leader.
Governor Herbert 8. Hadley. Of Mis-
souri,. was undcy consideration satur-
day Tor the pogftton OF fioor leader OF
the Roosevelt forcessin the national
convention. The advisability Of select
ing him for the place was discussed at
"a meeting Of the new Roosevelt dele
gates steering committee, which Is
headed by William Finn, of Pittsburgh
Mr.. Finn will be the tactician In
charge of the maneuvers in the con-
vention. His voice, however. Is not
sufficiently strong to enable him to
assume the duties of floor leader. and
for that reason Governor Hadley seems
likely to be selected.
Those who want Governor Hadley
for floor leader believe that he can be
of greater service in that position than
as temporary chairman.
Steering Committee Meets.
The Roosevelt steering committee
was in session at the Congress Hotel
the greater part of the day. Francis
J. Heney and former Governor George
Pardee. of California. were among the
new arrivals who participated in the
conference.
The steering committee is devoting
its attention to organization work. Its
members realize that the big fight will
take place on the floor Of the conven-
tion. and accordingly are making ev-
cry effort to get the delegates who are
instructed for Roosevelt lined up for
him on every proposition.
In connection with repofV8 that the
Roosevelt managers are advising Colo
mol Roosevelt not to come to Chicago,
it is said that Walter F. Brown. chair
man Of the republican state central
committee of Ohio who left for the
east late Saturday night. will see the
former president in New York and urge
him to remain at home.
To Fight Out Contests.
Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon. Roose-
welt manager. denied reports that the
Roosevelt managers would withdraw
the remaining contests pending before
the national committee because Of the
futility of presenting the cases and go
instead before the convention.
''Of course we do not propose to do
any such thing" said Senator Dixon.
Every contest will be presented by us.
If a majority of the national committee
is prepared to unseat deliberat tely
Roosevelt delegates. as the Taft man
ayers insist it will do. we are going to
see that the robbery Is committed in
the open daylight and in full view OF
30 900 900 American citizens.
1T is perfectly apparent that the
Taft managers have under perfect con-
troll enough members OF the national
committee to do exactly as they please
regarding the remainder of the con-
tests. nearly all of which are from re-
