strikers surrounded the main gate

burn the fence surrounding the plant
The strikers left their dead and
wounded on the ground and fled.
Today's rioting is believed to make

CHICAGO, June 14.-Roosevelt"s
examination without Roosevelt is not
an organization. To be complete and
to succeed it must have the colonel at
the wheel. Too many plans are spoil
ing the project and T. R., himself
must decide which one of the lot will
be chosen and see that all his follow
ers get on the one line of attack.
That is the way both sides here to-
day interpreted the Oyster Bay state

With an apparent majority of the dele

the most experienced men in the
country leading the struggle. the

he cannot expect to put his nominal

ayers want to win the fight in such a
way that they can claim regularity
before the voters and they were in
sistent today that the colonel assume
the active management and the re-
sronsibility.
Three definite plans have cen pre-
scented to Roosevelt On his decision
alone will depend which shall be put
into effect.
The Three Plans.
First is the suggestion OF a fight
from the drop OF the gavel. 1t is pro
posed that the moment that Victor
Rosewater, as chairman of the repub'
lican national committee, calls the
convention to order the Roosevelt men
shall demand recognition. Rosewater
would be prevented in any way pos
sible, from having the roll of the
delegates as compiled by the national
committee read as the temporary roll
OF the convention. A Roosevelt mar
would be sent to the platform to pre-
side and the Roosevelt delegates
would endeavor to go right ahead ant
organize a convention within the
Coliseum. regardless Of what the Taft
forces may do. That the Taft lead

The Dark Horses.

While positively insisting that there
can be no dark horse" the Taft men
were claiming today that if the presi-
dent should surrender his candidacy
in the interests of the party harmony
some other candidate than Roosevelt
would be the nominee.
The Taft men positively denied that
Senator Murray Crane ever by infer
ence endorsed the suggestion that
Senator Cummins be named as com
promise candidate. Crane insisted
that the story was put forth by the
Roosevelt headquarters as "a feeler'
and repudiated it In its entirety.
Nevertheless, the dark horse talh
grew. The margin between the lead
ing candidates Is SO close that this
shifting of half a dozen votes might
! give the balance of power to the Cum
minis and LaFollette handful OF dele
gates. If this is so. there will be E
lengthy deadlock on temporary organ

complicated right from the outset

The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-06-14

The second plan constitutes ignor-
ing the Taft men entirely This pro-
posal involves the staying away from
the Coliseum, of organizing a con-
yention in the nearby armory, going
through the regular procedure Of a
convention, adopting a platform and
nominating a ticket headed by Col
onel Roosevelt and with either Cover
nor Johnson of California, Hadley Of
Missouri or Bass of New Hampshire,
as his running mate.
The third plan is to go into the con-
vention, accept the roll Of the tenn
porary organization as made up by
the national committee and then fight
the whole battle on regular lines. This
plan involves the substitution of the
name of Senator Borah OF Idaho for
/ that of Senator Root of New York as
Temporary chairman. Borah has been
selected by the Roosevelt men, If this
latter plan goes through, because OF
