NnlcaSO' June 2l-lThe demOrSeleSS reactionary machine with the regu- larity of trip hammer was shivering the last remnant of his hopes for a regular nomination, Theodore Roose- welt resigned to the inevitable, was making active preparations for the bull moose party he intends to bring into existence this fall.
 There will be no bolt. There will not even De walkout of the handful of delegates that remain loyal to Roosevelt. Roosevelt resolved today to await the action of the Democrats in Baltimore, and then to put into the field a ticket headed by himself, if necessary, and appeal to the coun try to support it on the ground that he had been cheated out of the Chica go nomination by the reactionar;es.
 ':It is helpless,' he said today, when he learned that the ma chine had taken from him his two California delegates over the protesr of Governor Johnson.
 sI want to see MT. Taft get the benefit of the stolen goods that wern intended for him." said the Colonel.
 Then and there he began making new plans. All his excited manner had Jeff him.
 He. spent the afternoon quietly talking over his plans with some of his leaders. many of whom will never follow him further than the door that leads out of his party. He means to wait till August, then in the light ot public sentiment to begin anew, and to put party into the field which he hopes will at least accomplish the utter route of the men who have talk ell the Republican nomination from him, just when it was within his grasp. i
 The Colonel now almost utterly deserted, gave up all hopes this af- candidacy made protests merely tn convention had been seating Taft delegates for the permanent roll Of the convention. The Taft vote, vary ing from 600 in the case of Arizona to 542 in that of California;, was al- ways sufficient. It proved how complete was the control of the vic tors. The Roosevelt leaders, now no longer interested in the Colonel's tendency, made protests merely to get them into the records. Before the end of the day they had accu- mulated mass of evidence which the Colonel can use when the bull moose comes into existence.
 There will be the expected en- dorsement of the Taft administration, and advocacy of revision of the Tariff so worded that it will be meaningless. and boost for the Taft prosecutions of the Trusts.
 Of the third candidate Cummins was the only man talked of today. Hadley, who took an active part i'll the protracted session, did not get more than hand clap when he ap- peared and attracted no attention later as he went about the corridors of the hotel.
 Kenyon was very busy with the Cummins boom. He began by talk ing it to Roosevelt for endorsement, Out he got a direct slap in the face.
 Roosevelt told him in so many words that he was not for Cummins, Hadley or any other of the third can didates that have been suggested. He said that the nomination had been stolen from him and that he did not want any other man to be the bene- ficiary of stolen goods.
 When the Washington contests, the only ones remaining. are passed, per- manent organization will be effected and the Committee on Resolutions will report.
 If the Progressives begin a fight on the platform, demanding roll call on every plank, only by an all night session can nomination be report. ed. Root will be made permanent chairman, probably by acclan'ations There will be no use for the Pro gressiyes to fight against that.
