Correspondent Gardner in Report Of Secret Plans
Shows How Roosevelt Managers Plan to Make Bold
Grab of the Convention.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 11.-Roosevelt will be NOM
mated no matter what the national republican COM
mttee does in deciding contests.
he Roosevelt managers claim they now as
sured of enough delegates put through their pro-
gram even though the national committee puts through
its steam roller program.
This the information which came today from
the inner council of Roosevelt managers.
lowas 10 delegates, who are for Cummins may
swing IN line on the first vote taken, which will be ON
the question Of organization Il is believed also that
assurances have been received that North Dakota will
oppose its votes to the nomination of Ehu Root and
the steam roller program of the national committee.
Senator Kenyon OF Iowa at the Roosevelt head
quarters today and had a long private talk with Sena-
tor Dixon, the Roosevelt manager. 1t is believed that
Dixon received assurances that Iowa would help If
necessary, in rejecting the report of the credentials
committee.
THEIR TEETH SET
The Roosevelt managers have got their teeth set
and they will not be defrauded of their representa-
ton in the Chicago convention by steam roller or
any other methods They will fight from the drop Of
the hat If necessary Roosevelt will come to Chicago
This viii be determined the steam roller"
chauffeurs have got through with their Job.
Taft managers admit privately that Taft is de-
feated They hope however to hold together their fol-
lowing long enough to make terms. Dave Muvane Of
Kansas tells the truth when he says that the people
are fighting to hold of the party organi-
zation. Senator Murray Crane has stated frequently
within the last three days that he longer hopes
see Taft nominated.
ROOSEVELT PROGRAM
The Roosevelt program has not been fully outlined
but may be stated that the fight will begin when Vic
tor Rosewaer the chairman of the national republican
committee starts to read the temporary roll of the con.
vention.
II is doubtful If he passes the first letter of
the alphabet The Roosevelt delegates are prepared
to put into nomination at their candidate for tenn
porary chairman and to insist their convention roll
call.
They expect to have a majority and to organize
the convention. Then the report of the national COM
mittee will be thrown in the waste basket and the Roose
welt program will be put through.
