CHICAGO, June 20.-Iowa's ten
delegates, who are pledged to Sena-
tor A. b. Cummins, will not bolt
the convention, according to Senator
W. s. Kenyon of Iowa, campaign man
ager for Cummins.
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-06-24

With the split between the Taft and
Roosevelt forces in the Republican ma
tional convention having at last reach
ed a point where a definite threat to
bolt has been made many panic
stricken delegates in the city turned
desperately today to the task of stir
ring up sentiment for compromise
candidate.
Justice Hughes of the supreme
court, Gov. Hadley of Missouri and
Senator Cummins were the names un-
der consideration.
Practically all the talk of compro-
mise candidate came from the Roose-
welt followers.
There was evidence early today of
nearly a complete disintegration of
the Roosevelt forces. They appeared
to be fighting desperately. The colo
ners quarters were besieged by mass
of his followers and delegates seeking
advice.
The conferences of last night had
convinced Roosevelt leaders that COM
paratively few of their delegates
would desert the Republican party.
at looks as though the bottom had
dropped out" declared a member of
the Roosevelt council today.

The Cummins delegation never will
bolt said Senator Kenyon. This talk
about boiling ought to be set down
on. Let the two factions fight it nut
in the convention.
Have | been talking to other 70
gressives on the advisability Of Or
ganizing a new party?"
mo sir, / think the Republican par
ty is capable of managing the present
situation. Right is bound to prevail
in the end. There is no doubt some
contests were not settled on their mer-
its, but think the number has been
exaggerated"
"As for our candidate, we have not
a fighting chance, but we have good
compromise chance. Everything de-
pends on deadlock, which we believe
will come"

The one big outstanding fact in this
national Republican gathering is the
bursting of the Roosers l bubble.
Backed by a tremeiid IS financial
influence of leading Wall street buc-
cancers, by big and little dlsarr'i 'ei
bosses in a dozen Republican states,
who have sought and gained political
rehabilitation under his wing, aided
by an honest people who have been
misled by his pleas for a rule by the
people, rather than by the bosses he
came here on Saturday exultant and
triumphant and expected a rush Of
popular approval that would sw sep
him into the nomination. 1t required
not more than four hours after his
arrival to establish the fact that not
more than one-fourth of the Roose-
welt shouters were sincere in their
loyalty to the man.
The big interests care nothing for
Roosevelt, except as an instrument
to carry out their future plans and
to defeat Taft.
The politicians are entirely selfish
and the plain people were not pre-
sented in sufficient numbers to make
themselves felt
Roosevelt's mission has failed.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The delegates
to the fifteenth Republican national
convention frankly admitted that they
were tired and eager to return to their
homes today, but are prepared for the
decisive action at the Coliseum after
three days of skirmish firing between
the Taft and Roosevelt forces that
has resulted in nothing but delay. 1t
is evident that the temper of the
delegates and not the schemes of the
leaders would hold first place in the
next twelve hours of the convention S
deliberations. With this fact in view
the members of the credentials COM
mittee worked all night in an effort
to have something approNimatlng a
complete report for submission 20 tine
convention when it was called 10 order
at IL a. m.
The fourth day of the convention
opened with President Taft :, strong
favorite for the denomination, the
possibility of third candidate as sec
ond choice in the betting, and Roose-
welt apparently beaten.
Ordinarily in the Republican ma
tional convention procedure the can
didate for president would have been
nominated yesterday, Thursday. The
business remaining for the convention
today would be the selection of a
presidential candidate and adjourn
ment.
Now, as the program runs, the re
port of the credentials committee may
require vote of the individual dele
gates. The report of the committee
on rules may provoke an extended de-
bate and the subject of a platform
nay take half day for discussion on
the floor.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 20.-The New
York delegation planned last nigh
to come out today in strong de non
stration for Vice President Sherman
for denomination. The booin has been
kept in allegiance since the convention
opened but with the developments Of
the night it is looking more favorable
for the nomination of President Taft
from their point of view.
They decided that today was the
logical time to bring forth their can
didate for the Running Mate" Job.
So far Governor Mead of Vermont
has been the only active candidate for
second position on the Taft ticket.

Colonel Roosevelt plunged into his
plan of campaign as soon as he arose
today. He had only a few hours sleep
but was the first man up in his camp
Before 8 o'clock his personal body
guard, Frank Lyre, United $ ates
marshal from West Virginia, was
summoned to the colonel's quarters.
Colonel Roosevelt ordered a heavy
breakfast and ate heartily.
The colonel was unusually careful
in the selection of the men whom he
summoned to his first council today.
He knew there was a revolt in his
camp. He parted in anger with Gov
ernor Hadley of Missouri this morn
ing. Senator Dixon of Montana also
is said to have encountered colonel's
displeasure. He objects seriously to
becoming an irregular.
Detection from absolute loyalty by
Dixon is said to have been a blow TO
Colonel Roosevelt.
There were reports of an absolute
change of the colonel's field generals
before noon, at which time his final
plans of battle had been announced
to caucus of his leaders and dels-
gates.
William Finn of Pennsyl ania, Sew
ator Beveridge, Everett Colby, q ",

Colonel Roosevelt's followers ap-
pealed today to the credentials com
mittee from the decision of the Re
publican national committee. The
battle over the seating OF rs delegates
given Taft was fought over again.
Ormsby McHarg, former foe of Roose-
welt, but now one of his active lead
ers, appeared before the committee
to present the evidence of the alleged
fraud in these cases. His appear
ance there caused a surprise in view
of the early morning declaration OF
Colonel Roosevelt that the existing
convention mustn't be further recog-
niged.
Does this mean a back down Of
Colonel Roosevelt's declaration that
the present Republican convention
must not be recognized further" Nc
Harg was asked. He declined to an
swer.

CHICAGO, June 20.-William Finn

In 1910 Senator Taylor was induced
to again make the race for Governor Of
Tennessee, il the hope that he could
unite the Democratic party and lead II
to victory in the State. In this he was
doomed to disappointment, being de-
feated by Governor Hooper, the fusion
candidate, by over II, 900 votes.
During the present year Senator Tay-
Tor has again tried to aid in harmonic
ing the party, having made trip re-
Gently to Nashville with that end in
view.
During the interval between his terms
in the Governors Office Senator Taylor
practiced law at Johnson City and at
Chattanooga. He was also in the lec-
fure field much OF the time, his "Fid-
die and Bow" being one Of bis most
famous lectures, AS word painter he
had few equals, charming his hearers
with the beauty Of his imagery and with
the polish Of his sentences. He was in
great demand at Chautauquas, and has
been heard from ocean to ocean on the
lecture platform.
In 1905 he became editor-in-chief Of
Bob Taylor's Magazine, published in
Nashville. Later he was editor Of the
Taylor-Trotwood Magazine. In his writ
ings he delighted his readers 10 much
the same manner as speaker, consid-
ering the difference between the appeal
Of the spoken and the printed word in
rhetorical flights.
Senator Taylor was twice married, his
first wife being Sarah L. Baird, Of Ashe-
vile, NJ G., and his second, Miss Ma
mie L. st. John, Of Chilowie, Va, the
first marriage occurring in 1878, and
the second in 1904,

Bought School Lot.

The Board OF Education, through w.

Florida avenue last Monday for the city.
The lot is one Of the largest and most
valuable sites in the city Of any kind, but
the Board Of Education has purchased
the lot with the view OF using it for pri-
mary school purposes. The city will
soon have to build primary school on
the west side in order to accommodate
the overflow in the city school building,
and the sooner the better in order to re-
duce the risk Of crossing the railroad
tracks.
The Garrett lot was sold through the
County Court for partition. 1t is very
