The United States paid homage Sat urday to the discoverer of America by the unveiling of a magnificent memor ial fountain erected here by congress to Christopher Columbus, the Genoese navigator who opened the portals of this hemisphere to civilization.

Minnesota democrats at their Btate convention voted to send a full delega tion of 24 delegates to the national convention with instructions for Wood row Wilson. The state democratic convention at Raleigh, N. C, elected eight delegates-at-large to the Baltimore convention and by a vote of 503 to 396 endorsed Woodrow Wilson. A poll of the delegates elected to the democratic national convention shows that Clark has 2C4, Wilson 248, Under wood 83, Harmon 4G, Marshall 30, Baldwin 14, Buike 10, uninstructed, 194. M. A. Dougherty, an attorney of Lancaster, Ohio, a delegate at large from Ohio, will place the name of Governor Judson Harmon in nomina tion for president before the demo cratic national convention.

Cum mins, of Iowa, said: "I would not ac cept the nomination for second place on the national ticket with anybody." A . Cms V fy.f If V ; TAFT DELEGATES WILLJE SEATED Control of Convention Depends on National Committee's De liberations This Week. Chicago. The stni.cv.lo for Ihe r. fttbllcatt presidential nomination will center this we. k in the contests before the republican national committee. I'pon the result of the committee's de liberation depends to a great extent the control of the convention and therefore, the nominations which It will m ike for president and vice-president. Taft's followers apparently con trol the committee and It Is generally believed that the Tuft delegates will be seated In every Instance with the pos itile exception of those from Wash ington state. In several of the contests tho vote to seat the Taft dolo-mtes was unan imous. The voting was ruther hap hazard on the early contests and did not disclose the definite alignment of the committee. In tho ninth district Alabama case the one which Colonel Roosevelt hug branded as a "plain steal" the vote was 38 to 15 and on the plan to give the two contesting delegations from the fifth district, Arkansas, half a vote each, the score was 41 to 10. Borah Insists on Talking. The first skirmish arose over a mo tion by Senator Itoruh to permit a roll call upon the demand of eight mem bers of the committee instead of 20, as provided by the rules. Mr. Borah wanted to debate the sub ject but Chairman Rosewater declared It undebatnble, and Hornh declared with some show of heat that he would have his say or occupy such a position that they would make no progress. The committee tabled the motion, and then by unanimous consent permitted Borah to continue. Taft Steering Committee Named. A Taft "steering" committee to take charge of the president's pre-conven-tlon campaign in conjunction with Representative McKlnley, director of the national Taft bureau, was named. It is made up of: Joseph Keallng. In dianapolis; William Barnes, Jr., New York; Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania: Otto F. Stlfel, Missouri; Governor Mead, Vermont; Ralph Cameron, Ari zona; Ralph Ullnian, Connecticut; T. A. Marlow, Montana; Harry Daugher ty, Iowa. William Fllnn of Pittsburgh and Walter Brown of Ohio are assisting Senator Dixon In managing Roose velt's campaign. T. R. Platform Said to be Ready. Roosevelt's platform Is written. This was the declaration of one of the men who have taken a leading part In the campaign of the ex-president Politicians consider It one of the most significant assertions of recent weeks, as indicating that Roosevelt will sure ly be a candidate regardless of the action of the coming convention. Woman will Propose Suffrage Plank. Establishing a precedent In the an nals of republican national politics, Mrs. Isabella W. Blaney, delegate-at-large from California, and one of the foremost suffragists in the west, will attend the republican national conven tion and take charge of the suffragist cause on the floor of the coliseum. A plank pledging the republican par ty to the equal suffrage cause In the national platform Is the main Issue that Mrs. Blaney will strive for. Taft and Roosevelt Clans Conflict There is no reconciling the conflict ing claims of the Taft and Roosevelt managers regarding the respective strength of their fallowings. Reason ably dependable figures, however, show the great Import of the contented delegates. Before the committee be gan, the lineup was about as follows: Total number of delegates, 1078, ne cessary for nomination, 040; Instruct ed for Roosevelt and uncontested, 411; Instructed far Taft. and uncontested, 201; Instructed for La Follette, 31'.; In structed for Cummins, 10; uninstruct ed (Including New York's 'Mi, KG; contested, 254. Both Count on Unpledged Delegation, The trouble, both with President Taft and with Colonel Roosevelt, is that they are counting on delegates who arc not pledged and In hop-h In stances are not even morally commit ted to either or to any candidate. And equal uncertainty really exists with regard to quite a few of the southern delegates. For the Taft manne rs are counting as safe all the negro dele gates Instructed for or pledged to the president, while the Roosevelt mana gers are claiming not a few of these same identical negroes, statin!- that they do not intend to abide by their instructions. Leaders of both factions, despitq op timistic statements, were plainly wor ried. It si evident to disinterest ed observers that the outcome of the convention will be determined by a margin so Bmall that Sen ator La Follette may hold the balance of power. The La Follette people pro fess to believe that the Taft men, If Taft cannot be nominated, will throw their support to La Follette.
