SHERMAN LOOMS UP
May Be Made Temporary
Chairman of State Convention.

In addition 10 selecting q time and
place for the state convention TO name a
state ticket the Republican State Com
mittee at It's meeting on Saturday will
recommend a man for temporary chair
man OF that convention.
There was some speculation last night
as 10 whether Vice-President Sherman
would be named His selection two
years ago for that place caused the fight
at Saratoga. which resulted in the de-
feat of the Vice President and the cleo
ton Of Colonel Roosevelt as temporary
chairman. It is understood that the
Vice-President has suggested to his
friends that IT would be a graceful thing
to name him for temporary chairman
this year as Vindicaton for the defeat
OF two years ago.
'I do not know who will be named,
said State Chairman Barnes last night.
II have not had chance TO talk TO the
other leaders yet. Will II be VicePres-
ident Sherman? Well, ! don't know
perhaps. If We can get Mr.. Roosevelt to
run against him." and Mr.. Barnes
laughed heartily.
The general impression is that the con-
vention will be called for Saratoga on
September "a. the week following the
primaries.

Colonel Roosevelt in Pennsylvania, Is
suod O. statement tonight explaining the
attitude OF Senator Finn and other sup
rorters OF the colonel here in desiring TO
have the same electors on both the Re-
publican and Progressive tickets In this
state.
The plan which calls for an agreement
by those nominated that they Will vote
for the candidate OF the party receiving
the highest vote. has been opposed by
both Colonel Roosevelt and President
Taft. Mr.. Van Valkenburg says that no
final determination Of the elector aues-
ton will be made until after the national
convention OF the Progressive party. The
statement says, In part:
The PENNSYLVANIA Progressives wan.
Colonel Roosevelt to receive all of the
thirty eight national electoral votes from
PENNSYLVANIA 10 which they believe he
Is entitled They want to emphasize by
a second defeat of Mr.. Taft that he has
no claim, legally, morally or politically.
OH one single electoral vote from Penn

Colonel Roosevelt, on the other hand,
contends that the fraud perpetrated at
Chicago by Mr.. Tafts friends totally
vitiates Mr.. Tafts claim To the Republl-
can nomination and must not entitle him.
under any circumstances. TO a single cleo
toral vote from Pennsylvania.
The practical result Of Colonel Roose-
velt's plan would be- TO insure him only
about thirty electoral votes from Penn
sylvania instead Of the thirty-eight cleo
toral votes which unquestionably would
go to him under the plan proposed By his
PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATES.

said that to-day Wilson looked TO be the
winning candidate. But he added:
The early part OF october will, l
think, show Mr.. Roosevelt to be the win
ming man. Ny faith in the ascendency
Of Mr.. Roosevelt as the weeks so on
rests on the belief that he will stand
on the sanest. best and most up-to-dato
platform of the three parties, and, too, on
Mr. Roosevelt himself-on his matchless
record Of achievements and capacity for
further achievements along the line Of
tho necessities Of the day.
MIR. Roosevelt speaks a language that
the plain people know. When Mr.. Rooso-
welt entered the campaign for delegates
70 the Chicago convention we contended
that his strength with the people was as
great as ever. We put that faith to the
test. with the result that now we know
Mr. Roosevelt will loom so big as the
fighting force against the radicalism and
dangerous economic theories, that the
men who wish TO see policies maintained
that have built up Industrial America
will before the middle OF October realize
that the only way to save these policies
will be to get behind the man who can
win. Theodore Roosevelt
