CWuago, , June 13. 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. ' 1
