KELLY TO es BITTER FIGHT

Here VIII be the struggle In fashion.
Ing the Roosevelt PLATFORM: On the one
hand the militant Stubbs type. wanting
10 get everything in; and on the other
hand the Film type. wanting to keep
some things out.
There liz likely to be q bitter fight
over the radical plalks but the Coli
oners supporters are confident his
diplomacy will surmount such OBJ
stacles as may arise.

the nomination." remarked one OF his
managers. He'll have that Stubs out

FORM"
Furthermore there Is to be figured
In the preparation Of that platform the
desires OF Senator La Toilette. and the
La Toilette delegation In the convention.
This delegation consists OF thirty-six
men. each OF, whom exudes eloQuence
like a collapsible tube.
-Four years ago handful of Wiscon-
sin delegates, under the able leadership
of Representative Cooper. stood the con-
vention on Its figurative head for al
most q whole afternoon, trying to force
into the platform some OF the very
ideas which Col. Roosevelt subsequent-
iy adopted and called his own. This
year the La Toilette outfit. coming to
thirty-six strong and holding. from
present appearances, a whole handful
OF trumps. bids fair to create some-
thing Of whirlwind both in the COM
mlttee on resolutions and convention
proper.
II has been settled by the La Toilette
managers that La Toilette platform
is to be presented to the committee.
There Is every chance that the more
radical provisions OF this platform
will be more or less gently eliminated.
In this event q minority report will be
presented and the argument will be
carried to the Convention Hall. There
is also the chance the LA Toilette man
ayers, by trading on the strategic I'm
portance of there thirty-six delesates.
IN the preliminary convention pro-
ccedings, may be able to set things
into the platform which they could
not otherwise sc, in with a chlscl.

COAL STRIKE IS
NEARING END
Peace Now Seems Assured
in Anthracite Fields.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 1S,-It is gen.
orally believed here that the big coal
strike Is at an end. Miners In conven
ton will adopt the tentative agree
ment offered them by the operators, so
the leaders declare, and be ordered
back to work the early part OF next
week. Peace IL thus assured in the
anthracite field for a period Of four
years.
President Whites address, in which
he laid bare the numerical and financial
strength of the union, started to turn
the tide. Two hundred foreigners,
most of whom have opposed the peace
Offer, assembled at the Y. NJ. @. A.
auditorium and decided TO vote for the
agreement. This was the real turn
Ing point and is the best proof that
White Is complete master Of the stu
alton.
A vote will be taken on the agree
ment today, and the officials are posi-
tive that there will be a big majority
for adoption and that peace will come
for a term OF four years.

OHIO CAMPAIGN
GETS EXCITING
T. R. Talks of Dirrupting the
Republican Party.

Columbus, O., May 1S. - Theodore
Roosevelt caused a big stir in his
speech when he said that the attempt
to control the Chicsgo convention by
certain men would mean the disrup-
ton of the Republican party" He
mentioned the action of the Taft lead
ers In the state of Washington in
holding a trump" convention and arbi-
trarily electlng fourteen delegates at
large after shutting the Roosevelt men
out.
when Mr.. Taft says the Chicago
convention will be controlled by the
friends of constitutional government
he that 1t will be controlled by
such men us LOrinev, Barnes and Pen
rose and by the delegates fraudulently
seated from states like Washington,
where avowedly they would be seated
not because they represent the people,
but because they do not represent the
people" declared Roosevelt hotly.
Mr.. Taft is mistaken. The Chicago
convention will not be controlled by
fraud and force in this matter.
THE attempt SO to control it." the
colonel went on, with increasing en-
phasis, will be unsuccessful. II sue
cessful, let me tell you this" and
Roosevelt pointed his finger at the
crowd, ut would mean the disruption
Of the Republican party"

Richeson, who is TO pay the penalty

nell, after Il long conference here with
John L Lee, counsel for his son, was
restrained from going to Boston to see
his son before his e'octrocution.
at the request of the father Mr..
ZEE at once began an effort TO secure
Rtcheson's body after the e%lectrocution
and have it buried in a cemetery in or
zeal Boston. Richeson's frst impulse
was to have the body brought back to
Virginia for bur'l. but his attorney
persuaded him from this purpose, as
we'll rs from going to Boston.
The old father, broken by the dis
grace that has come upon him by the
confession and impending execution of
his son, Is in such a menta and phys
Ical condition that he would hardly
he able to stand a trip to Boston, but
he would have come to Boston had It
not been for the advice Of his attorney
to the contrary.
