Sherman, Cuild, Woodruff, .Murphy, or any one of a half dozen other men who have been ' mentioned ' for the honor of completing the ticket. ...... That is the situation today on the eve of the republican national con vention. So far as the nomination for president is concerned, the most desperate attempts ot the managers of tho "allies ' to make it appear there is a chance that Taft may fail of the nomination on the first ballot are tutlle. . The onlv question winch seems to excite even languid interest is as to how nam' ite I hp secretary will rKitv on th? ll.sf b.illO'.. c'rnak Hitchcock, the general in command of the Taft forces, still holds to his estimate that 704 represents the minimum vote cast for the secretary. The "allies" ridicule the clulm of Mr. Hitchcock, but they are not. giving out figures. Joseph B. Kealing, of Indianapolis, one of the active men in the Fairbanks column, when I asked him to size up the situation from tho Fairbanks viewpoint, said: "Tuft -probably has enough votes to nominate him if they stick. It in several Java before the vote it to be taken, however, and many things may 'happen In that time." When asked to sav what might be exneeled to happen, he was dumb. With the other ''allies" it is about the same. They all claim to be confident the first ballot will not hi? decisive, but when asked for reasons and figures there is nothing forthcoming. That an effort will be made to stampede the convention for Presi dent Roosevelt seems probable. That it will tail seems even more prob able. : The announcement of Senator Bourne, the head and front of the Roosevelt boom, has had little effect. That there has been, and is still, a good deal of Roosevelt talk is not to be denied It Is, of course, possible that, some silver-tongued delegate mav bv his eloquence sweep the convention off its feet and bring about, the nomination or the president. But, so far as can be judged, this con vention seems to be pivttv firmly set on its feet and it. will take a flood of eloquence to sweep It much. Then, there is among the rank and file of the men who are to do the voting a strong feeling that it would be a great blunder to name Mr. Roosevelt, in view of the position he has taken in relation to the Taft candidacy, to say nothing of the third term question. This feeling was tersely put by a Minnesota delegate this morning. "I am a Roosevelt man." he- declared, "and believe (irmly In Roose velt's policies. I I'nlnk, though, that It. I best now to put the work In another's hand. In the light against, the trusts the president has diag nosed the trouble accurately and has prescribed the proper remedy. Tho trouble Is, he has given them little too big a dose to start off with. The cure can be just as surely brought about by less drastic applications and a little more tactful methods and Taft Is the man to do it." Active and Pawtlw Booms For the Ice-I'rcsidcncj-. The vlco-prcsldential booms mav be divided, like the verb, in the two cases the active and tho passive. In tho former may be placed the efforts In behalf of former Gov. Franklin Murphy, of New Jersey; Gov. Guild, of Massachusetts, and John Haves Hammond, the mining engineer. Of these, the Murphy boom Is the liveliest. It has been on for several davs now, and the Jerseyman has been as busy as u bee In a tar bucket among the delegates. Thev were reinforced yesterday by a delegation headed by Gov. Fort and Senator Kean. These are now at work, and the claim Is made that nearly 400 delegates are pledged for Murphy. The Gull boom is also being pushed with a vigor. The Hammond , boom Is not taken verv seriously outside of those who are doing the booming. In the judgment of those close to the leaders, It Is not. believed either of the active booms will result In a nomination. Tho passive list, which contains the names of Senator Dolliver, of Iowa: Vice-President Fair banks, Gov. Hughes, of New York, Secretary Cortelyou, of New York, and George A Knight, of California, is believed to bo much more likely to furnish the name of the man to fillthe blank previously alluded to. There Is a strong feeling that If New York could unite on a man for the vice-preBldcney, he would be chosen. Otherwise, it Is not re garded as prohable that an eastern man will get It. Gov. Hughes Is the favorite Now Yorker, so far as the men outside the state, are concerned. It Is a common expression constancy heard: "If New York would present the name of Hughes for the vlce-prcsl dency, he would bo chosen." As far as can now be learned, the New Yorkers are hopelessly split between Representative Sherman and Secretary Cortelyou, with a sprink ling of "Tim" Woodruff men. They have no political Idea of uniting on Gov. Hughes for president. Platform Making and State Caucuses On In Good Earnest. Interest Is Increasing In the platform. Senator Hopkins, who will head the platform committee, is in almost constant conference with lead ers of the various lines of thought, trying to shorten the work of the committee by reaching some common ground In advance. This is a busy day for all the officers of the convention. The final touches are being put on the program for tomorrow's session and the state delegations, all of which are here now, have . been caucusing to (Continued on Page Seven.) f. S. SENATOR It. M.
