Ho has recommended tho national incorporation of largo Indus trial enterprises, tho very thing tho trusts deslie, and ho has ondorbed the decision of tho supremo court amending tho anti-trust law. In tho Interests of the trusts. I bollovo that a private monopoly Is liidofonslhlo and lutolurnhlo and I favor laws, stato and national, making It Impos sible for a private monopoly to exist.

Questions Upon Which ltoosevelt and I Agree Thero aro u. number of questions upon which Mr. Hoosovolt and I havo differed In tho past but upon which wo now agree: First Wo havo differed upon tho oleetlon of senators by the people. I began this reform 22 years ago, and secured an Indorsoiuont of it In our national platform In 1900. Mr. Hoosovolt, though president for 7 1-2 yonrs nftor 1900 never referred to tho popular oloction of senators In a mossago to congress or In a public spoech until about two years ago, Second I havo boon advocating nn Income tax for many years. Ho began towards tho close of his sec ond administration. Third I havo for a numbor of years ndvocntod publicity boforo elec tions and I secured tho endorsement of this reform In tho Donvor platform In 1908. Mr. Roosovolt at that tlmo opposod publicity boforo election. He (Continued on Pngo 0) I ROUND-UP OF DELEGATES FOR TAFT BEGINS j Rattened in Every Centest, ItMMVtS! Forces Send far Leatfir ami Start Personal Campahjn fir D(fatc to Whip Them Inta Line. "Colonel Ceming t Shtw the Pttpto That He Is Sttti Thilr Frit Says Flinn of Pennsylvania. CHICAGO, Juno 8. Flattened In every contest so far brought ibeforo tho republican national committee by the operation of tho steam-rollers, Roosevelt leaders here this afternooa aro convinced that all of the contests to come up except one that of tho Washington state delegates will be decided in favor of Taft, began pre parations to get control of tho na tional convention for Roosevelt. Fifteen representatives of as many states where Roosevelt la believed to be the strongest with the people, cdtu fcrred at the Congress hotel aad elected William Flinn of Pittsburg, chairman of the meeting and Frank Knox of Michigan, secretary. 'The gathering decided to at oace round up every delegate, regtrdlesa of wke t,hcr be is Instructed, in an endeavor to whip them Into line for Roosevelt. Each participant In the meettas was told that the only- hope -RoowreU now had was to get individual dele gates to agree to vote against sus taining tho national committee's tem porary roll. Oust All ltoosevelt Men Flinn declared that the national committee would oust overy Roose velt contestant. Ho declared that It President "Kift got every contestant his majority would not exceed 25 and urged everyone at tho meeting per sonally to Influence delegates so this morgln would bo over-turned when tho convention meets. "Tho committee is already under suspicion," said Flinn. "I feel cer- that ,t ,a IotM d ,ve the . . people or their rights. The colonel Is coming to show tho people that lie is still their friend and representative." Talk of Roosevelt, his leaders and delegates bolting, should the colonel lose all or his contestants, grew etlll loudor today. It now seems certain that the national committee will not seat any of tho Roosevelt contestants except possibly thoso from tho state of Washington, and the belief is gen eral that Hoosovolt will hold his own convention. Tho Roosevelt peoplo deny that they aro the bolters. Italanco of Power It Is evident to disinterested obser vers that Senator La Folette may hold the balance of power. Tho La Follotto people profess to bollovo that the Taft men, If Taft cannot be nominated, will throw their support to La Follotto. Tho Taft people are preparing to hold progressive voters by adopting a progressive platform and nominat ing a progressive for the vice presi dency. Senator Albert Q. Cummins of Iowa Is tohmost mentioned man for this position. If tho Taft peoplo control the con vention it seems certain today that they will adopt a platform favoring practically everything the ivestern progressives have boon advocating, except tho recall of the judiciary, whlh they will bitterly denounce.
