TAFT IN FIGHT TO
STAY, ASSERTS
HILLES
There’ll Be No Bolt of the Pres
ident’s Forces if He Loses,
Secretary Declares.
WASHINGTON, June 1. —President
Taft will neither consider, listen to
nor accept the suggestion of a compro
mise candidate.
"Neither will there be a bolt by the
Taft forces—rumors to the contrary
notwithstanding. If he is defeated,
President Taft will take his future with
good grace and will not attempt to
start another party to secure the nomi
nation for the presidency on any other
pretext.”
This was the comment made by Sec
retary Hilles today when approached
on the question of a possible dark horse
capturing the presidential nomination
when the Republican national conven
tion meets on June 18.
Compromise Talk Riles.
Indignantly repudiating the assertion
that a compromise had been broached
to the president, or that he would con
sider it should it be made, Secretary
Hilles continued:
“This is a fight between President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt. The nom
ination, so far as we can see, lies be
tween one of these men. We are con
sidering no dark horses. The president
will go into the convention with enough
votes to nominate him. If the unex
pected happens and he fails in his pur
pose, the man who wihs will do so be
cause of his own strength, not from any
votes which will be swung to him bj
the president.
"This is strictly a ‘two-man fight,'
with the odds, in our opinion, in favor
of the president. We are making every
effort to hold our own in Ohio, and I
see no reason why we should not do so.
"The president is not considering
visiting Chicago at the time of the
convention. Whether Colonel Roose
velt is on hand at this time or not will
make no difference. The president will
remain here to attend to business and
will leave the attention to the details in
Chicago in the hands of Director Mc-
Kinley and myself.
To Receive News By Wire.
“On June 17 President Taft will pre
side at the graduation exercises at
Hamilton college, Clinton, N. Y. He
will return here on June 18 and will re
ceive the news of the convention by
telegraph and long distance telephone.
All precedents would be shattered
should the president of the United
.States attend the convention in which
he is personally interested, and Presi
dent Taft is not considering such a
radical move.
"Besides, we see no necessity for it.
We have strength enough already. Our
delegates, we are sure, can take care
of themselves and there is no fear of
an organized bolt to the opposition.
"The chairmanship of the national
committee is a subject which has re
ceived little attention as yet. Senator
Root will doubtless be the temporary
chairman, but the selection of a per
manent chairman probably will not be
taken up until after the close of the
convention, as was done in 1908.”
While Secretary Hilles would not
positively assert, who would nominate
President Taft at the Chicago conven
tion, he admitted that both Senator
Burton and Warren G. Harding, of
Ohio, were being considered for this
honor. The fact that Harding, who
was defeated by Harmon during the
last gubernatorial campaign, had a
long conference with the president yes
terday. supposedly concerning the Ohio
situation, has apparently thrown the
balance in his favor, the more so since
Senator Burton failed signally to carry
out his promises that the president
would at least "make a good showing in
his home state.”

held in September this year. Before
the announcement of this date, how
ever, the campaigners have begun their
work.
Mayor Winn is in the race for re
election to the finish. He has not for
mally announced simply because he
does not wish to begin campaigning
yet. But Aiderman John E. McClel

his time limit as the representative of
the First ward. Councilman S. A.
Wardlaw will probably run to succeed
him and J. H. Harwell and Emile Brei
tenbucher are both considered candi
dates for Mr. Wardlaw’s seat.
.Councilman Harvey Hatcher of the

Dr. J. H. Bradfield or J. J. West will
be a candidate for the place.

ponents.

The “Rough Riders" —a full regiment
—will be outfitted in khaki uniforms
and mounted. They will meet visiting
marching clubs and escort them to
their hotels convention week and will

The organization was formed after a
quiet canvass of the Hamilton club,
which showed that 80 per cent of its

Ohio “Big Six”
Fight Up Monday
COLUMBUS. OHIO, June I—One of
the hottest fights in the history of
Ohio politics is anticipated when the
Republican state convention convenes
here on June 3 to select the six dele
gates-at-large to the national Republi
can convention in Chicago. There will
be 754 state convention delegates, and
both the Taft and Roosevelt forces are
today claiming a majority.
As far as can be learned, the delegates
are about evenly divided between the
two camps, the Republican organiza
tion apparently having a slight advan
tage. Walter F. Brown, manager of
the Roosevelt forces, stated, however,
that there were enough defections from
the Taft ranks to give the Roosevelt
men control.

BEP. COMMITTEE
TO CLEAR RING
Warring G. 0. P. Chiefs De
clare All They Ask Is a
Square Deal.
CHICAGO, June I.—Scarcely within
the memory of Republican politicians
lias the pre-convention meeting of the
Republican national committee been
charged with the vital significance that
will face that body when it convenes
here June 6 to select the temporary
role of the Republican national conven
tion.
Heretofore, the selection of the Re
publican nominee for the presidency
has practically been cut and dried, the
usual protests from ihe Southern states
amounting to little more than empty
form. But this year the old order of
things is changed, and today, five days
before the committee finds that
body an important arbiter in the fight
for the nomination between Colonel
Roosevelt and President Taft.
The vital importance of the commit
tee’s decision has led to a heated dis
cussion as to its probable action with
regard to the two hundred or more con
tested delegates, whose cases will be
brought before it next Thursday.
Each Manager Sees
Manager McKinley, for President
Taft today positively asserted that the
majority of Mr. Roosevelt’s contesting
delegates will be thrown out by the
committee, and his predictions seem to
be borne out by the make-up of that
body, which, through its machine-ap
pointed committeemen, is believed by
Taft supporters to stand at 53-58 in
favor of the president.
Manager Dixon, who is in charge of
Colonel Roosevelt’s fight, is equally
firm in predicting that the contested
delegates from the South will be seated
by the committee.
Secretary of State Knox, the Taft
choice for temporary chairman, will be
appointed, it is believed. It also is
thought Taft men will control a suffi
cient number of delegates, leaving the
final decision of their right to sit in
the convention up. to the credential
committee of that body, or, in the last
analysis, to the majority vote of the
delegates on the floor of the conven
tion.
Both the Roosevelt and Taft fac
tions before the committee will be rep
resented by some of the foremost legal
talent in the land.

Gubernatorial Aspirant to Make
Whirlwind Speaking Tour of
Georgia Very Soon.
With the passing of the state conven
tion and the final windup of the pres
idential primary fight, the gubernato
rial campaign has taken on new life.
For a candidate who has not yet
made one avowed campaign speech and
in whose behalf no .political meeting
has been publicly called. John M. Slat
ton. former governor and candidate to
succeed "Little Joe” Brown in the eapi
tol, is doing some rather strenuous
work.
After presiding at the Hobson-Hanly
debate Thursday night, Mr. Slaton
jumped to Thomasville, where on Fri
day night he delivered an address at
the commencement exercises of the
public schools.
Today the former governor is at Ty
bee. attending the meeting of the Geor
gia Bar association, and on Monday he
goes to Dahlonega, to deliver an ad
dress before the North Georgia Agri
cultural college.
Although Mr. Slaton has given out no
positive information as to when and
where he will deliver his first set cam
paign speech, it is generally understood
that it is scheduled for the near future.
When he does start, he expects to make
something of a whirlwind tour of the
state, as the general assembly meets
on June 26, and he must, as president
of the senate, give attention to his leg
islative duties from then until the ad
journment of the legislature, about the
middle of August.
Mr. Slaton will open regular cam
paign headquarters shortly, probably in
the Grant building. He kept open house
temporarily in the Aragon hotel when
the state convention was in session.
The former governor expects to be
right up to his neck in campaign work
from this time on.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, ns they can not roach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is

When this tube is inflamed you have a rum
