ROOT ACCEPTS
GUARDIANSHIP
Officially Announced that He Will
Preside at the Chicago
Convention.
WILL BE HELP TO TAFT

Chicago, May Ex-senator Elihu Root
Of New York will be temporary chair
man Of the Republican national conven-
ton, provided, as they say IN legisla-
tive bills, the Rooseveltians do not con-
troll the convention and name a man from
the floor.
Senator Root has been oficially pick
co by the committee on arrangements
OF that committee, made the announce
ment officially tonight That means
Senator Root has accepted the appoint
ment, and that President Taft has placed
the White House 20. K" upon the Sc
lection.
II Roots nomination is confirmed. and
a committee recommendation has never
yet been rejected, President Taft will
score the first point in the game for
the Republican nomination. Moreover.
his administration will not be sent to
limbo with the Endorsement Of his party.
For Roots big speech at the opening
of the convention will be Official and
he will say in IL that President Taft
has kept faith and Is a great man. Col.
Roosevelt and other things being con-
trary-minded. notwithstanding.
To make that speech In favor Of the
President was the why and wherefore
that he has always been Col Roose-
velt's firm friend and was Secretary Of
State under the Colonel Is expected to
add weight to the word OF Tafts in
dorsement.
BY the Taft politicians the picking of
Root is regarded as q neat piece Of po-
litical business. He Is expeoked-and
those who picked him doubtless know
the expectation Is well grounded-to
make strong argument for party loyal
ty and solidarity. He is further expect
ed TO state In his own words. that the
man nominated will have 70 run on the
record OF the Taft administration, as
well as every other candidate from Gov
ernor to County Clerk, throughout the
country.
The intention win be 10 have those
remarks carry weight with uninstruct-
ed delegates. The Root Endorsement Of
Taft. It Is believed. win tend to show
that it Is Col Roosevelt who has de-
parted from the party faith. and not
President Taft, because Root was pulled
from q law once into public life by
Roosevelt. but now remains with Taft
against the colonel.
