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. 11 tfy Mow [Summer ] WEI * Do you enjoy ?

'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 an nominee will receive a single electoral vote in Georgia, Alabama. Florida nr Mississippi, ’’ says The 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 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 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. The failure of Woodrow Wilson tn secure the indorsement of Virginia, one of his numerous “home states.” recalls a stcr.s told by the Hon Joseph M. No Convention ! Pickets for T. R. 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.

By JAMES B. NEVIN.

It was a good thing for the peace of mind of some forty-steen delegates or so that the state convention took a recess Wednesday, and let part of the proceed ings go over to an afternoon session, bottled up in others besides Tom Watson bottled up in others beside Tom Watson in that gathering, and so long as the “red headed one” was In talking humor, there 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 gates got right into the overflow, and for a time had a fine and dandy time "Mr. Chairman,” said the gentleman from Somewhere, "I 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 Unterrifled Democracy a man. sir— ’’ And so forth and so on, until the bit ter end, far ahead'. Then arose a gentleman from Some wherelse. and seconded, in even more elo quent terms, the nomination of the per son of the broad and untarnished es cutcheon. and so forth and so on. And nobody hollered "Shut up!" or "Sit down, you!” once. There were, some twenty or thirty ora tions of that sort pulled off in the after noon; and the reason was not far to seek. With the afternoon came the only opportunity for eloquence ornate, unin terrupted and undisturbed the convention afforded- and nobody butted in to stop It, because so many wanted to take a hand in it.
