President Taft here after will recognize no differ once between the so-called "progressives" and "regu lars"' of the republican party, lmt in the matter of federal support all party leaders will he treated as republicans. The president's views to this effect are given in a letter from Secretary Norton to a republi can leader in Iowa, whose name is not disclosed. Secretary Norton says that while iuiKrtant republican republican legislation pending in congress was opposed by cer tain republican leaders, I 'resi dent Taft felt 'ft his duty to withhold patronage from those hostile to efforts to fulfill the party's pledges.

The In dependent democrats of Tennessee yesterday endorsed the candidacy of Captain Hen W. Hooper, republican nominee for governor, and further cut loose from the regular wing by referring the hitter's harmony resolu tion to tin new independent state ex ecutive committee without discussion. Thus was organized a formidable looking triumvirate to the campaign (insisting of republicans, independent democrats and state wide uruhobition- ists. The independents and prohi bitionists are so closely allied as to largely overlap in their membership. Tint possible break in the solid South, outlined in the convention ex tends only to one office, the govern orship. There is a "gentlemen's agreement' between the independents and the republicans that neither party will invade the other's safe legislative territory, and this the independents say assures a democratic legislature. The last republican governor in Ten nessee was Alvin Hawkins in 1881-82. 11 is a curious fact that his cletcion' was due to a democratic split led by Judge S. F. Wilson, who was elect ed to tlie court of civil appeals as an independent in the judiciary election last August which was the forerunner of .yesterday's convention. 'Che convention was run off without a ripple of opposition to the program of the leaders, whose only worry was to keep the enthusiastic delegates from prematurely suspending the rules and nominating Hooper by ac cla niation. This was attempted, but ruled out of order by the permanent chairman. It. K. L. Mounteastle, national com mitteeman for Tennessee. There was a long wait for committee reports, and then platform resolutions were adopted and nominations made in rapid sin ssion by unanimous rising votes. The resolution on harmony reads as follows: "We recommend that the resolution sent to this convention by the Patter son convention be referred to the state committee elected by tills con vention for proper answer In accord ance with the action and nominations of this convention." The Cooper Pardon leiiouncc(l. The pardon of Senator Carmaek's slayer was denounced repeatedly by the speakers, and each denunciation was received with shouts of approval. Temporary Chairman O. T. FiUhugh of .Memphis brought the audience to its f.-ct when be said of tho Carmack- Cooper case. "When the highest court, despite his (Patterson's) efforts to coerce it, had banded down a decree which branded his closest friend and chief apolitical adviser as a murderer, he spat upon and trampled under foot this judg ment which was in accord with the law and justice and which met with the approval of the civilized world." ( apt. IIimiimt'.s Address. The convention ended with Captain Hoopers address. The republican candidate was frequently Interrupted by . heeling and applause. He said In part: We have recently seen the repub in party of Tennessee rise above part'san considerations ana tnrusi side the tempting possibility of elect ing ten republican Judges of the state. "Many thousands' of republicans oted for a free and untrammeled Judiciary without price or promise, and we are not Insisting today that anybody owes us anything for that performance cf duty." Speaking of the convention of the republicans and independents, Captain Hooper said: While this sequence of events Is unprecedented In Tennesseo politics, it mtains no deep and hidden meaning. It would ba extremely absurd for the ton es of temperance, law and order, to be devlded In thla contest . along national party lines. , We have witnessed In this state for the last four years what was per haps never seen In a southern state before, the assembling of the vicious and criminal elements of all races un der tho banner of an unscrupulous organization, an Intensified . imitation of the Tammany democracy of New York and the republican ring of Phil adelphia. We have seen the laws of this state trampled under foot, and have then heard the chief executive of the state publicly proclaim from one end of the land to the other that these laws could not be enforced. We have seen the pardoning power of the governor converted Into a political as set and used for tha financial enrich ment of his henchmen and the polit ical aggrandisement of himself. - - "Do you ask who Is the leader r,f this democrat! j revolution? in , an swer that It Is none of the other in dependent leaders w'lom I see before me here today.
