TAFT'S NAME NOT
TOBESUBMITTED
President Recognizes His Own
Defeat—Friends Deserting
Him. Says Lewis.
By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-1 have def
inite intortnation that President Taft’s
name will not appear before the Chi
cago convention.
This "ill be emphatically denied for
a few days in the hope of finding a
new man on whom stand-patters can
combine to beat Roosevelt. But there
is no such man.
Taft Beaten From Field.
Fairly speaking and putting it the
softest way for Taft, 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 his reso
lution, which had begun bending with
Illinois and Massachusetts, and has been
showing increased and increasing signs |
of breaking ever since.
Ths men whom Taft thought were his
friends have turned out to ho 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 as
Cannon, Penrose. Hale, Root, Sherman
and others of a similar selfish feather
he Is In this, his hour of gloom and
mourning, unable to find with a search
warrant.
What comes bitterest to one of Taft’s
eoft-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) should never have put Mac-
Veagh and Fisher in his cabinet.
Now that matters are 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. Up one cabinet side
and down the other there has been
going for some time the general kick of
"Too much Wickersham." Now. when
sorrow has 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.

'SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
A determined effort will be made in
’ 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 any hand tn that move
ment. as the question has not been agl-
I tated at all in this state, but if the mat
' ter should come to a vote in the eon-
I vention. it is more than probable that
; the Georgia delegation would favor the
'continuance nf the rule.
I It is pointed out as rather a curious
i circumstance that this two-thirds rule,
: which has been attacked time and again,
but never 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 1832—held in Baltimore, by the
way in which Andrew Jackson was nom
inated by acclamation for the presidency.
Only once since when Cleveland was
nominated in 1881 has a candidate been
nominated F>y acclamation in a national
j Democratic convention.
I "Nobody dreams thai the Republic

Washington Herald Colonel Roose
velt is dreaming It. all right, it seems.
Mr Watson will go to Baltimore,
hut all the speeches he makes will

dleton, of course
A curious and significant minor phase
of the state convention Wednesday was
the utter collapse of the nice little move
rnent set afoot by some statesmen to have
the convention go on record as favoring
Woodrow Wilson fnr “second choice” for
the presidential nomination.
If that movement ever got anywhere
at all, nobody could notice it. It wasn’t
even mentioned in open convention, «1
though it Is said that the committee on
resolution? 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 favoring nobody for second choice.
The delegates are instructed for Un
derwood “until his nomination is se
cured.”
That was going even old Alabama one
better, in the matter of Instructing for
that state's favorite gon for the presidency
of the United States.
It is proposed, according to an es
teemed contemporary, to make J,*ono
six-year term in the white house the
limit.” A lot of folks think It will
be just that if Teddy gets in again.
Now that the state convention has
been disposed of, the sweet girl and
| sour boy graduates may come out of
their lairs and say whatever It is they
have on their minds.

i
CHICAGO, May 31. - Ex-President
Roosevelt will have no ticket? to the
Republican national convention in Chi
cago. President Taft may have as
many as he pleases.
That was the situation that confront
ed friends of the colonel today when
('hairman Harry New of the sub-com
mittee turned down a request by Sen
ator Dixon, Roosevelt’s campaign man
ager. for 230 tickets.
“The position of Roosevelt and Taft
I are reversed." said Fred W. Upham, in
| charge of the convention seating ar
rangements. "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 all the tick
ets lie wanted, but Taft was only a
! candidate and could get none."
The explanation, however, does not
' satisfy the Roosevelt men. They see
lin the committees stand evidence of
| discrimination and ate ready to fight.
: The refusal may bring to a head the
| half-formed plans to wage war on the
committee before the convention opens.

“I determined early tn my campaign,”
said the governor, in high good humor,
“not to go into the ’home counties,' so
called, of my opponents. With that end
in view, I carefully refrained from ac

Mr. Roosevelt yesterday. Will nobody

It was a good thing for the peace of

that the state convention took a recess
Wednesday, and let part of the proceed

was nothing much doing in the talk line
anywhere else.
When in the calmer afternoon, how
ever, it came to electing electors—just
why people wish to be elected electors
is not particularly clear to a lot of folks,
of course the opportunity for an over
flow came; and divers and sundry dele

for a time had a fine and dandy time
"Mr. Chairman,” said the gentleman
from Somewhere, "I arise, sir, to nomi

Then arose a gentleman from Some

And nobody hollered "Shut up!" or "Sit

There were, some twenty or thirty ora

seek. With the afternoon came the only
opportunity for eloquence ornate, unin
