Chicago, June 13. Headed by
frank H. Hitchcock and Arthur 1.
Vorys. the Taft boomers in Chicago
todav formed themselves Into a Hy
ing wedge, preparatory to carrying
William H. Taft into the convention
from the credentials committee the
republican nominee for president by
acclamation.
While the Taft men were prepar
ing for the next fight before the cre
dentials committee, tae six "allies
were forming their lines to fight to
the last. The fight before the cre
dentials committee, which will pass
on the steam roller" victims left by
the wayside bv the national commit
tee, will be spectacular. On the find
ing of the committee will rest the re
sult of the convention. It Is now be
lieved. While the two armies were getting
ready for battle, the vice-presidential
booms began popping. Tae city be
came the center of an Influx of state
delegations, and real Interest was
taken In the platform proposition.
Most of the meetings will be held
Monday.
The Taft leaders today declare it
Is all over except the shouting. They,
laugh at the idea of a Koosevolt
stampede or at the chances of any
one else beating Taft on the Moor.
They .claim that as a result of the
national committee's finding there
will be 705 votes for Taft on the first
ballot. At least 229 votes will again
be contested before the credentials
committee. '
The Interest of those who are In
Chicago to attend the national con
vention today became centered about
the work of getting up a platform
on "which William H. Taft or any
candidate who may be nominated
will run for office from June 17 until
November. One of the most Im
portant features of this end of the
big political question today was the
meeting of the Federation of Labor
at the Kalserhof Hotel, with Presi
dent Samuel Gompere at Us head.
The meeting wag really the quarterly
meeting of the federation, and It Is
usually held east, but Goraperg ac
complished a good stroke when he
transferrd It to Chicago.
He wants the republicans to adopt
big antl-lnjunctlon plank. There are
