The same theory regarding Dolllver Is un derstood to be held by the New York delegation, who say It would cause a heavy loss In any event, particularly If Bryan were nominated.

Trumpeting wlldlr and with the scent of battle In his proboscis, a trifle angered, per haps, ay the prodding a( ambitious back- but still soand of wind and lim ber and eager for the fray, the old war elephant of the Grand Old Party was again led forth in Chicago today. It (s well that the aged beset, of bur den Is In good condition, for If the en thusiasm of the Taft boomers today Is any criterion, the G. Q. P. elephant will have a hefty candidate to carry In this year's race. While the main show In the Coliseum T.'lll not open until tomorrow noon, practically all the performers, scene shifters and au dience are now In the city .and every tavern in the big town Is displaying a "standing room only" sign. "White many of the It preceding na tional conventions of the republican party have not been lacking In spec tacular features, this year's perform ance promises to be the liveliest In Its history. While all the surface Indica tions point to the speedy nomination of Taft probably on the first ballot the specter of a "second elective term" and a stampede to Roosevelt Is 'still looming In the background. Not all of the allies have yet given up hope an the supporters of Hughes, Fair banks, Knox and Cannon are at time able to iuak themselves beard above the deafening din of ths Taft men. The "candidates for ' vice-president are else receiving much attention from the delegates and thousands of poll tlctans and the supporters ef Jhe. var ious men now In the field are urging the merits of their favorites with th greatest vehemence. There Is genera) talk today that Fairbanks may sue. cced himself, but this is strcnuouely denied by delegates from states having favorite sons of their own. ( ' Many prominent negro republican are In Chicago today and thlg morn ing commenced a conference at the Qulnn chapul. Speeches announcing opposition to Taft were made, but no specific .favorltlem as to candidates was shown. The New York delegation Is not munlfcKtlng any remarkable enthiml. aiim for Hughes and Its support of the governor Is likely to be half-hearted. The delegation will meet this after noon at the Auditorium and a hot fight over the chairmanship is expect ed, arising from the opposition amoni ome of the delegates to Genera Woodford. Delegates fro mmany othei states will hold their organisation meetings this afternoon. Despite the repeated declaration ol President Roosevelt that he will not accept another nomination, the move ment stirted by Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, Is apparently gain ing strength among the delegates. A circular Is being distributed among thi delegates, setting forth that Roosevel' Is the only candidate who could wlr a republican victory this fall and gW Ing the reasons why Taft should nol Denominated: "The secretary of war has incurred the disptessure of the Jews, which wll' follow him to the polls, because o! his visit to the csar of Russia on hit most recent trip abroad. "Mr. Taft has Incurred the openly announced hostility of the negroet because of his action In the Browns ville rase. "The secretary will encounter tht almost solid opposition of labor be cause of his strike-Injunction record." And finally, "that his Memorial day speech has Incurred for him the not-to-be-desplsed opposition ot the Grand Army of the Republic and IU affilia tions." The Coliseum the scene of many hlatorie gatherings is now ready for al touch to the. decorations having been added today.. Both the Interior and the exterior of the big edifice have been doc-orated, in a lavish . and artistic manner. ' , The total number of svats Is Jl',011, which Includes the seats provldod In the balcony that extends u round the hall. On a raided platform above the floor of the auditorium are seats for the chairman and' secretaries of the convention' and 66. seats for member of the national committee. The sec tion immediately- lit the rear ot the rear of tho platform provided for spe cially Invited 'guearts. -contains 1S2J seats. Directly In front of the plat form antr extending on both sides of it are the-sections, provided for work ing members of me press. ' These sec tions give desk room for 41 writers, nearly 100 more than were provided for at trie- law convention. In the- body of the halt 1000 seats are provided for the . delegates ;: and immediately fiecft bf them" 1000 more have been- set aside for the alternates. On each- sidei of these two sections and In tne-rmr of them are StlS seats for ths spectators, these sections be ing arranged In, amphitheater style. The balcony sections contain S19S seats for the general public, most of them being very desirable. It l generally believed that the Taft platform will be adopted as declara tion of principles by the convention. In- regard to the tariff, the plank wilV read: "In- government, we stand for a re viwon of the tariff by a special session of the next congress, Insuring s the maintenance of the true principles or protection by Imposing sech Customs tlntfes as will equal tho difference be tween the cost of production at home and abroad, together with reasona ble profit, to the end that without ex cessrre duties, American manufactur ers, farmers ( producers and ' wage-earners- may have adequate protec tion." , With a Tlew to doing away with some of the evil effects of the curren cy law .Just enacted there trt!! be a pledge that, the next congress shall take up the currency question and enact a permanent law that wiil-astab-Ilsh saef and satisfactory monetary conditions and relieve the bualneis of the nation from the fear of panic. 'It Is also understood Jhat there will be a plank favoring antl-lnjunctlon legislation and other legislation favor able to labor, which Secretary Taft Is known to advocate earnestly, and that something will be said respecting the right of tho negroes and the prosrcus made by that race, Intended to coun teract the effect of Foraker's agitation of the Brownsville quention. Thn Itooxevelt policies respecting (he rcRuletlon of rsllroadx, the prose cution of trusts, and the conservation of natural resources are to be Indorsed nd their continuance promised. Ac cording to the pronent understHndlng the whole' document will be one that Taft can himself accept and that the country will approve. Ths convention will be called to or der at noon tomorrow by Chairman Harry 8. New, who will use a gavel made of wood from Fort Dearborn, fluhop F. J. Muldoon will make the pertlng prayer, after which the selec tlon of committees and other prelim-' Inary business will bo transacted.
