Roosevelt Comes
Out in Favor Of
Votes for Women

OYSTER BAY, June l2.-Theodore
Roosevelt announced this afternoon,
through Judge Ben B. Lindsey Of Denver
that he was In favor Of woman suffrage
| in this country and that the platform
which he would submit To- the Chicago
convention would contain an unequivocal
declaration to that effect, t- 0..-
Judge Lindsey spent two hours with
Colonel Roosevelt today. The object OF
his visit was primarily to persuade the
colonel to announce that he was In favor
Of woman suffrage. Heretofore Colonel
Roosevelt has merely said that he be-
leved the question of woman suffrage
should be submitted to the women them
selves for determination whether they
wished the ballot. AS the Judge was leav-
ing Sycamore Hill he said;
Colonel Roosevelt has come out de-
cidedly for women suffrage. He will be
induced to take this definite stand by
what the women voters have done in
Colorado in opposition to Messrs Gus-
genheim and Evans; In Washington. Cal
ifornia and other western states. Colonel
Roosevelt told me that he was convinced
from this record of the advantage to
the country to be gained by placing the
ballot in the hands of women. The
colonel also said that he had definitely
decided to incorporate in the platform
which he will submit to the Chicago con-
vention woman suffrage plank"
Colonel Roosevelt. however, said that
Judge Lndsey's statement was entirely

Taft Will Veto
Bill to Abolish
Commerce Court

WASHINGTON. June 2.-President
Taft told friends today he would veto
the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill if, when it comes for his
signature, it abolishes the commerce
court in effect by cutting off the courts
appropriation. Both the house and SEN
ate have eliminated provision for the
court from the measure.
President Taft said he considered the
court necessary to prompt and effective
enforcement of the interstate commerce
act. In speeches he has said that when
its limitations were defined by the su-
preme court the new tribunal would be
approved by the railroads and the people.
The supreme court this week gave sew
eraI decisions greatly restricting its
powers.
The law creating the commerce court
would be specifically repealed, its five
judges dropped from government rolls
an the total circuit judges thus reduced
from thirty-four to twenty nine, under
an amendment to the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
adopted by the senate today. The amend.
| ment was proposed by Senator Smith Of
Georgia. Both houses had already acted
in accord In omitting any appropriation
| for the court. IT, N'.s-..... .,..

PLANS BOLT OF ELECTORS
Finn Says Roosevelt Men Will Not
Vote for Taft.
TO DEFEAT HIM IF NOMINATED
Pfttsburg Man Says This Scheme
Would Lose Presidency, but
Would Save Party In the
strong states.

CHICAGO, June 12--Recourse to Roose-
welt men who have been selected as
presidential electors In different states
Is the announced plan of William Flynn
of Pittsburgh. should the convention
nominate President Taft.
The Roosevelt leader made this state
ment today in vigorous attack on the
national committee In which he declared
that such movement while it might de-
feat the republican nominee for president
would save the party in the big republi-
can states.
His position was indorsed by Governor
w E. Glasscock of West Virginia, who
declared that all the West Virginia re-
publican electors are for Roosevelt and
would vote for him in the electoral COL
lege regardless of the action of the con-
vention.
Senator Joseph M. Dixon listened to
Mr.. Finn and Governor Glasscock and
said;
Il don't think there will be any need
| for such action. You hear what they
say In my opinion Colonel Roosevelt
wnl surely be nominated. The Taft
forces will not dare to steal the nom
nation
Finn and Giasscock Talk.
Mr.. Finn and Governor Glasscock de-
clared that the state conventions in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia had not
necessary and the electors given positive
instructions to vote for Colonel Roose-
welt If the circumstances warranted.
I'VE are not going to allow the national
committee to destroy the republican party
! in Pennsylvania" said Mr.. Finn. I'VE
don't intend to stand idle by and lose
ten or fifteen congressman and the legis-
lature. We propose to protect ourselves
! at home. Thirty of the thirty eight
| presidential electors are for Roose-
welt and if they are elected and the
nomination is stolen and given to Presi-
dent Taft those thirty will vote in the
electoral college for Colonel Roosevelt.
! I'VE don't propose to allow delegates
! from the southern states and the insuar
possessions to dictate a presidential nom.
ination to the great republican states
THE time has come when political re.
| bellion is necessary for self protection
of the republican states. Under this plar
no bolt will be necessary. 1t would re.
suit perhaps in losing republican presi.
dent but would win locally.
| Il have talked with Roosevelt men in
Pennsylvania and they agree with me
that it is necessary if Taft is nominated
to carry the fight to the electoral col,

In our state the entire list of presi
Dental electors is for Colonel Roosevelt
