Flopping Denied
MK.IH’HIS, TENN. June 13. That an
effort will be made to switch the Ten
nessee Taft delegates to the Roosevelt
band wagon was the topic of discussion
among politicians here today. The move
uas originated in western 'Tennessee.
The delegates and alternates are dis
cussing a plan to disregard their *l'aft
instructions and throw the solid vote of
I lie state into the Roosevelt column. The
western 'Tennessee delegation, headed b.y
Harry <>• 'True, whose seat as a 'Tenth
district delegate is contested, will leave
for Chicago Saturday.
True Denies Story.
CHICAGO. June 13 Asesrting that the
reports emanating from Memphis that
there was a movement on foot there lo
switch the Taft tleiegntos to Roosevelt •
were unfounded. Harry <>. 'True, delegate
from tlie 'Tenth Tennessee district, todav
declared the men would vote for the
president for renominution. 'True, whose
seat has been contested, said there was
no chance to swing any of the instructed
delegates io the Roosevelt column.
James W. Brown, a delegate from the
Second district, whose seat is also con
tested. asserted there was not enough
money in Wall street to buy the Tennes
see delegation
M. C Monday, national committeeman
from T ennessee, corroborated Brown, but
John W Farley, who Ik trying to secure
a seat as a Roosevelt delegate from tlie
Memphis district, although his contest
has not been tiled in the regular way,
predicted that the colonel might get one
delegate from the state. He said there
was little chan<<* of acquiring any others.
Offices Used as
Bribes, Says Dixon
CHIi'AGG, Juno 13.- Poliowing the
charged of bribery of Southern dele
gates, made by (’ongresstnan William

an accusation of a similar nature
against Taft forces today. Federal ap
pointment xvas the bait. Dixon charged,
used to lure one of Roosevelt's leaders
io the Taft side. According to Dixon's
statement, a certain national commit
teeman who has supported Roosevelt
xx'as offered a United States marshal
ship if he would throw his vote in the
national committee to Taft.
"1 can and xvlll name the man when
the time comes." said Senator Dixon.
Senator Dixon came to the Roosevelt
headquarters accompanied by Alexan
der F Moore, of The Pittsburg Leader,
xx ho was married to Lillian Russell
yesterday. The first question put to
Mr. Dixon was as to how many di le
gates he had bought before breakfast.
None." answered the senator. "We
shall not prostitute our campaign by
such methods,"
"Whi'ti is Mr. Roosevelt coming to
Chicago?’’
I don’t know that he Is coming." xvas
the reply.
"Senator, how many agents have you
in the South?"
'None; and I want to say right now i
that the man who hollers 'stop thief al
