TAFT'S WE NOT TO BE SUBMITTED President Recognizes His Own Defeat—Friends Deserting Him. Says Lewis. Bv ALFRED HENRY LEWIS. WASHINGTON. May 31. I have def inite information that President Taft's name will not appear before the Unl earn convention. This will be emphatically denied for a few days in the hope of finding a new man on whom stand-patters can combine to boat Koosev.lt. But there is no such man. Taft Beaten From Field. Fairb -peaking and putting It the softest way for T ift, he has been whip ped and beaten from the field. The news from New Jersey came as a last feather to the camel's back of bis reso lution. which had begun bending with Illinois and Massachusetts, and has been show ing increased and increasing signs of breaking ever since Th* men whom Taft thought were his friends have turned out to be only a beaming host of political breadliners, with expantant hearts and hands out stretched. They used him and now they desert him. Tables Are Now Turned. Where once they had trouble seeing him and pushed and jockeyed and jos tled for the privilege, he now has even more trouble in seeing them. Such ns Cannon. Penrose, Hale, Root, Sherman and others of a similar selfish feather he is tn this, his hour of gloom and mourning, unable to find with a search warrant. What comes bitterest to one of Taft’s soft-baked and defenseless tempera ment is that he receives little or less sympathy. Cannon makes no secret of his satisfaction at the disasters which have overtaken Taft. He says that he (Taft i should never have put Mac- Veagh and Fisher in his cabinet. Now that matters ate upside down with Taft. Sherman Is not displeased at primary returns which prove that it was Taft, not he, who destroyed the administration. Cabinet Not Sympathetic. Even the cabinet is in no sense a sympathetic unit. I’p one cabinet side and down the other there has been going for some time the general kick of "’ r o« much Wickersham." Now, when sorrow ha« leaped like a black beast upon the back of Taft and defeat has him squarely between its Jaws, Knox and Meyer and Fisher and even the timid MacVeagh do not seem grief bitten to the heart. Wilson is old and has troubles of his own, while Stim son doesn't appear to count. ~Wf iSIF 1 I f Mw WTjFM Summer | Do you enjoy ?Clirnbing mountains Fishing for trout Hunting big game Camping out • Gettingacoatoftan Two weeks, or longer, in the cool, invigorating air of the Colorado Rockies will give you a new lease of life.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS A determined effort will be made in I Baltimore, so it is said, by one of the .delegations from the West, to set aside In the national Democratic convention the .ancient rule requiring a two-thirds vote I to nominate. It is not likely that the Georgia dele gation will take an\ hand in that move ment. as the question has not been agi tated at all in this state, but if the mat ter should < ome to a vote in the con vention, it is more than probable that the Georgia delegation would favor the I < <»nt inuan< e of the rule it Is pointed out as rather a curious I circumstance that this two-thirds rule, 1 which has been attacked time and again, l But ne'er successfully, was adopted in a .convention In which there was absolute ly no reason why it should have been, so far as any immediate necessity or crisis was concerned The rule was first Invoked In the con vention of 1X32 held in Baltimore, by the way in which Andrew Jackson was nom inated b\ acclamation for the presidency. Only once since when Cleveland was nominated in 1884 has a candidate been nominated by acclamation in a national J Democratic convention ! "Nobody dreams that the Republic an nominee will receive a single electoral vote in Georgia. Alabama, Florida or Mississippi," says The Washington Herald Colonel Roose velt is dreaming it. all right, it seems. Mr Watson will go to Baltimore, but all the speeches he makes will be carefully edited by Colonel Pen dleton, of course A curious and significant minor phase of the state convention Wednesday was the utter collapse of the nice little move inent set afoot by some statesmen to have the convention go on record as favoring Woodrow’ Wilson for "second choice” for the president lai nomination If that movement ever got anywhere at all. nobody could notice It It wasn't even mentioned in open convention, al though it is said that the committee on i esolutions discussed it with a view to getting it out of the way forever It is said that the Underwood instruc tions were framed after the precise man ner reported, largely because it was de sired that the convention go on record as favotmg nobody for second choice. The delegates are instructed for I’n derwood "until his nomination is se cured.’’ That wns going even old Alabama one better, in the matter of Instructing for that state’s favorite son for the presidency of the United States. It is proposed, according to an es teemed contemporary, to make "one six-year term in the white house the limit.” A lot of folks think it will he just that if Teddy gets In again. Now that the slate convention has been disponed of, the swept girl and i sour boy graduates may come out of their lairs and say whatever it is they have on their minds. The failure of Woodrow Wilson to secure the indorsement of Virginia, one . "f his numerous “home states.” recalls a 'story told by the Hon. Joseph M No Convention Tickets for T. R. ■ 5 CHl<’AG<>.

"Tickets are given to the president as a courtesy, A candidate for the presidency has no claim on the committee. Four years ago Roosevelt as president could have ail the tick ets he wanted, but Taft was only a candidate and could get none." The explanation, however, does not satisfy the Roosevelt men. They see in the committees stand evidence of discrimination and are ready to fight. I'he efusal may bring to a head the half-formed plans to wage war on the . onimittee before the convention opens.

When in the calmer afternoon, how ever. It came to electing electors just why people wish to he elected electors is not particularly clear tn a lot of folks, of course the opportunity for an over flow came. and divers and sundry dele gates got right Into the overflow, and for a time had a tine and dandy time. “Mr. Chairman,” said the gentleman from Somewhere, 1 arise, sir, to nomi nate for elector at large a gentleman whose broad and untarnished escutcheon has never been stained or spotted with a hint of disloyalty to the I’nterrifled Democracy a man. sir And so forth and so on, until the hit ter end, far ahead!
