OF defeat which the coming of Mr..
Roosevelt will only make more cer-

soon afterward the Taft manager
put out the following statement by
William Barnes, Jr, of New York:
Mr.. Roosevelt's departure for Chi
cago was inevitable. Impotent as It
is and impotent as 1t will prove to be,
Its chief interest lies in it's disclosure
or that mania for power over which
Mr.. Roosevelt has no control. Every
step in this contest is as certain as II
1t Were Ioreofdalneu.
'Mr. Roosevelt not only win come
to Chicago, but he will 30 TO the con-
venuon hall himself and there al
tempt to control that convention, de-
mand to be heard in his own behalf.
and. If he Is not so permitted so to
do, will nevertheless continue his
demonstrations under the influence Of
the delusion that people are calling
him to overturn all order. 1t Is a sad
and humiiating spectacle to the
American people,.
Plans for demonstrations of Niri'
GUS sorts to offset the arrival Of
Roosevelt tomorrow were discussed
by the Taft leaders, but no statement
was made. 1t was practically decid
ed to treat the appearance of the
colonel with silence and disdain,
although the Taft reception commit
tee which has begun the work of
up candidates was urged 10
additional activity tomorrow.
Senator Dixon said tonight that
there will be no demonstration on
Colonel Roosevelt's arrival. He said:
He is coming as IA private citizen,
seeking the nomination and Is only
coming because it is difficult 10
transact important business over the
long distance telephone.
"Will the colonel make any
speeches before the convention? ?" the
was asked.
"There is no speaking program
that l know of except that Mr.. Roose-
welt will address the mass meeting at
the auditorium theater Monday
night" Mr.. Dixon replied.
When Senator Dixon was asked
why Mr.. Roosevelt was coming to
Chicago he said it was merely to
expedite matters.
was he asked to come because IL
was deemed crisis had arisen which
demanded his presence in order 10
save the situation?"
s'There apparently is a good sized
crisis when one considers the thiev-
ery of the national committee in
overriding the will of the sovereign
states in their choice of delegates TO
his convention"
'.Will Colonel Roosevelt go to the
convention
.I do not believe Manager McKin- |
ey of the Taft campaign will give
Mr.. Roosevelt a ticket and l am sure |
he sergeant at arms would not ad-
nit him without one" said the SEN
tor.
The Roosevelt manager smiled as
Ie spoke.
If was learned that Colonel Roose-
elf is expected to remain in Chicago
NTH the close of the convention ana
hat he plans to appear in the con-
ention hall and may be given an op-
to address the convention
n his own behalf.
News Of the coloners coming
indled enthusiasm in the regular
fternoon meeting of the Roosevelt
eleaates. Mr.. Finn, of Pittsburgh,
tho presided, urged the delegates 10
ct out and drag into Mr.. Roose-
elt's headquarters any swerVing
aft delegates.
The gathering was addressed by
syeral Roosevelt contesting delegates
ON the south who had been un-
,ated by the national committee.
These were followed by Judge !
lindsey, of Colorado, who had just ,
rived from a telephone conference t
ith Mr.. Roosevelt. o
Governor Johnson, of California,
so spoke. IL
In the meantime there was equal G
,tivity in the other camp. All DAY I
,hn C. Eversman, aide to Director c
cKinley, labored nightly prepar-
e for the opening of a Tart recep- I
on room on the second floor OF the
hotel, the same floor
at is partly occupied by the Roose-
lt boosters headquarters. The Taft
rces will occupy the presidential '
lite and all day tomorrow Taft a
lies will be held. 4
The revised table issued by Direc- b
r Mckinley gives Roosevelt the v
,enty Missouri delegates accorded i,
m by the national committee and o
edits Taft with sixteen from that Z

sw York's ninety uninstructed dele
tes, Roosevelt is given twenty | g
ur California votes and TAFT two. r
1T claims all the fourteen delegates II
lm Washington and all the twenty
ur from Virginia and thlrty-four e.
