POLITICAL WAR IS ON IN CHICAGO TAFT WINS FIRST WIGHT 15 NOW ON Roosevelt Men Will Not Try to Unseat Opposing Commit tee Members. CHICAGO, June 6.—The national committee of the Republican par ty held its first pre-conventfon meeting at 2 o’clock this after noon. With the rap of the gavel that called Its members to order one of the bitterest fights that the Republican party has ever known was ushered in. The first fight will go to Taft. That was conceded on all sides today. There will be no contest over the seat of Victor Rose-water, acting chairman of the national committee and commit teeman from Nebraska. This was Inti mated strongly from the Roosevelt headquarters. It was announced, boldly from the Taft seat of war. The committee has heretofore oper ated only under temporary rules. It has decided to frame permanent laws for its own government, and today a report of the permanent rules commit tee, headed by Committeeman Brooker, of Connecticut, will be considered. The rules will make two things explicit— the manner of hearing contests and the limits of the term of a. committeeman. They will include a provision that the contests shall be heard by territories and states in alphabetical order; that each side shall be allowed not to exceed 30 minutes for the presentation of each contest over delegates at large and fif teen minutes for district delegates; that where cases are similar district con tests may be bunched and heard all at the same time; that the same evidence may be used in various cases from the same state; that no delegate whose election was not In accordance with the call and whose name was not filed at the time fixed by the call shall be seat ed, except that where there is no con test the delegate may be seated on a majority vote of the committee. Hearings Open to Newspaper Mon. The one innovation will be a deci sion to hold open session of the com mittee while hearings are under way. The hearings will not be "too open,” however. A limited number of news paper men will bo allowed to listen to the stories. Then they will be shooed out before the committee votes. This does not meet with the full ap proval of the Roosevelt men. Senator Dixon today voiced the complaint of his faction. "We court full publicity," said Mr. Dixon. "This proposal is the height of foolishness. It is when the roll is called that the contests are decided. When the vote is taken the public should be present. If the newspaper men are ex cluded during the voting it would be the height of underhand methods.” Another move planned by the com mittee is disapproved by the Roosevelt men. Victor Rose-water will be elected permanent chairman of the committee ■—assuring that he will serve until the convention is over. Rosewater was ap pointed acting chairman after former Governor Hill, of Maine, elected at the December meeting of the committee, died. He is a staunch Taftite. ’it was admitted by various members of the committee that Rosewater would be elected after the roll call today. De-fsat Roosevelt Single Object. In fact, the entire Taft program, hinted before the arrival of Congress man McKinley, has crystallized today. Rosewater will* be elected chairman. He will be official chauffeur of the steam roller. The committee will seat all the Taft delegates. At least, they will seat them until Taft is certain that he has enough delegates to nominate, and un til the “moral effect” on the supposed ly wavering Southern delegations is sufficiently impressed. Root will be made temporary chairman. Root will also be advanced for permanent chair man. The Taft program has one object only: Defeat Roosevelt. It is an open secret about headquar ters of the Taft faction that Senator Root’s keynote address will be in a sad minor, so far as the Roosevelt faction is concerned. He has been selected for the permanent seat. Roosevelt support ers affirm, because Roosevelt has le,t it be known that he will fight him. About the time that Root receives the second election at the hands of the convention —according to the prophecy of the Taft men—Colonel Roosevelt, with his followers, will file from the hall and the “rump convention” of the Move On Now! says a policeman to a street crowd, and whacks heads if it doesn’t. “Move on now,” says the big, harsh mineral pills to bowel congestion and suffering follows. Dr. King’s New Life Pills don’t bulldoze the bowels. They gen tly persuade them to right action, and health follows. 25c at all druggists. *•* BALTIMORE, MD,, AND RETURN Account Democratic National Convention —tickets will be sold June 20 to 24. $21.35 from At lanta.

I Oyster Bay candidate’s followers will begin. On the prophecy of a bolt, Senator Dixon and those closely-associated with him are assiduously putting the soft pedal. The talk affects Senator Dixon deep ly. It is preposterous, as he views the situation, to conceive that a candidate with enough votes to nominate him on the first ballot should bolt. Both McKinley and Dixon gave out statements of delegate strength. Dixon claims 527 for the colonel, gives Taft 171, figures 130 uninstructed and shows that 204 have been contested. South Worries Taft Men. The one thing that Taft men are anxious about is the Southern delega tion. The Southern delegates are the real key to the situation. Fear that the Southerners may join a band wag on movement to Roosevelt keeps the Taft men out of bed at night and busy during the day. It is for this reason, partly, that the committee has decided to adhere to the “alphabetical order” of hearing contests. It is not as the Taft men figure it, until Indiana is reached on the list of states, that the Roosevelt men have a contest with any merit. Before that time the steam roller will thoroughly impress wavering South erners with the futility of switching to a "lost cause.” The first day’s grist of the contests, scheduled to begin tomorrow morning, includes Alabama. Alaska and Arkan sas. The voting in the national commit tee on the contests “to save time” is viva voce. According to the present, rules, it will require a demand on the part of twenty members of the com mittee to secure a roll call. The Roose velt men assert that they have that many members, but they have never theless started a movement to secure a roll call on demand of five committee men. The steam roller will flatten out this demand, according to the com mitteemen today who will talk. “Arsenic Bottle Program,” Says Dixon. In an interview at noon today Sena tor Dixon expressed an assurance that the “arsenic bottle program” could not be put through, because of the high character of the men on the national committee. "What is your mew of the prospects of this steam roller program?” Senator Dixon was asked. “It takes 27 men, a majority of the 53 on the national committee, to put through this arsenic bottle program the Taft people seem to want,” he replied. “There are not 27 men on the commit tee who will take the Republican party out In the alley and cut its throat. Senator Dixon admitted that he held the proxy of a committeeman whom he did not name. “But I will not sit in on my contests,” he added. “I have given my proxy to another man and a fair minded man." "Have you given it to Colonel Roose velt?” was an interrogation. “Colonel Roosevelt has the same view of the matter that I have.” replied Senator Dixon.

THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1912. Quits Federal Job To Work for Taft RICHMOND. VA„ June 6.—ln order that he may be free and unhampered, Louis P. Summers, internal revenue col lector for the Western district of Vir ginia. has resigned to manage the Vir ginia forces for Taft at Chicago inci dent to the meeting of the national Re. publican convention. He will be suc ceeded temporarily by David F. Bailey, of Bristol, it is stated. The Taft people are confident that Summers, who is reckoned as a magic organizer and political director, will be able to successfully stem the tide of Roosevelt defection in this state. J. R. Pollard, the negro lawyer of this city who maneuvered the recent black and tan convention held in Rich mond last month, has left for Chicago, to appear as counsel for the Virginia contestants before the national com mittee. This wing of the state Repub lican party will put up a fight for rec ognition of delegates from all ten dis tricts but the Seventh and Ninth. In these two the negro population is so in considerable that the black and tans did not feel that they had any ground for a contest. They will also make a con test for the four delegates-at-large.
