MORE TALK ABOUT DARK HORSE
General Feeling Is that Fight Has
Progressed So Far that IL VIII

CHICAGO, June 13-New charges of at
tempted bribery in the battle for dele
gates were made today by Senator Dixon,
campaign manager for Colonel Roosevelt.
He charged that a member of the re-
publican national committee had been Of
fered United States marshalship If he
would vote for Taft on the contests now
under consideration.

battle between Taft and Roosevelt have
been so sharply drawn and such high
feeling arouse that the fight will have
to be fought to a finish.
Taft supporters apparently we're more
confident of success than ever early in
the day after yesterdays victory in the
contests before the national committee
