Are Winners.

WASHINGTON, June 15. The shift of
the administration to the candidacy of
either Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, or Gov
ernor Cummins, of that state, for the
nomination for Vice-President, is regarded
as the outcome of developments during
the last couple of days, which have indi
cated -that Representative Sherman, of
New York, would probably get the sup
port of that state for second place on the
ticket. It is believed that, if Mr. Cor
telyou had developed strength in New
York State sufficient to give him the
support of the delegation, the announce
ment made today in favor of Mr. Dolliver
and Mr Cummins would not have been
forthcoming.
Tail to Slay at Home.
Mr. Sherman is regarded by the admin
istration as rather tod much of a con
servative to take second place on the
ticket and also is looked upon as lacking
ability to carry on a whirlwind campaign,
which the Vice-Presidential nominee will
probably be expected to do.
There are many advisers in favor of
Mr. Taft remaining at his home in Ohio,
there to receive delegations and to make'
perhaps short speeciies of welcome to
them. There are many dangers awaiting
the Presidential nominee as a result of a
momentary mistake of judgment in mak
ing political speeciies which would be a
part of a general stumping campaign. For
that reason many of .those who are inter
ested in Mr. Taft's candidacy will not
wish to see liim make a tour of the coun
try. Iowa 5Ien Both Spellbinders.
Bur in the case of the Vice-Presidential
nominee- just the opposite view results.'
Klther Mr. Dolliver or Mr. Cummins is
looked upon as an ideal campaigner.
They are both advanced in political views
. and would readily, it is declared, meet the
approval of the great Western and Pa
cific Coast states. They are both ready
talkers and are familiar with what are
known as the Roosevelt policies, both of
them having been particularly energetic
in carrying them out. It is believed that
on the stump either of them would be
able fully to satisfy the campaign man
agers by calling forth enthusiasm for the
Republican ticket. At least such may
' authoritively be stated to be the adminis
tration view.
TANGLE IX IOWA AM) INDIANA
Grows Out or Desire lo Nominate
Dolliver or Fairbanks.
CHICAGO. June 15. The Vice-Presi-riential
tangle has developed factional
feeling in Indiana and Iowa, the situa
tion in the two states is not identical,
but in both Indiana and Iowa there are
prominent Republicans on both sides of
the question as to whether the state
should bid for the honor of naming the
running mate for the Presidential nomi
nees. The latest phase of the Iowa situation
is in the danger that some of Governor
Cummins' following may show only a
lukewarm interest in the state campaign
for the election of B. F. Carroll as Gov
ernor and other Republican candidates
for state offices if opponents of Mr.
Cummins, continue to bar the way to
Senator Dolliver's nomination for Vice
President. The ticket headed by Mr.
Carroll was named at state primaries at
which Senator Allison defeated Mr. Cum
mins for a seat in the Senate and the
state ticket- is not regarded as friendly
to Mr. Cummins.
Veiled Tin-eat From Cummins Men.
While Mr. Cummins and his friends
would be expected to support the choice
of the Republicans of the state as ex
pressed at the primaries, it is believed
there might be serious defection in -the
Republican ranks if such a direct slap
at Mr. Cummins as that proposed by the
Iowa delegation is given. In fact, mem
bers of the Iowa delegation today re
ceived from Iowa some suggestions which
were construed as thinly veiled hints
that trouble may be expected unless
there Is a change of programme on the
part of the delegation.
A representative of Mr. Carroll, who
expects to be elected Governor to suc
ceed Mr. Cummins, today telephoned to
ex-Representative George V. Perkins, who
heads the Iowa delegation-at-large, and
urged him to abandon the opposition to
Mr. Dolliver's nomination and recom
mending that Iowa place the Senator In
nomination if there appeared to be a
general demand that his name go on the
National ticket. This man, whose name
is withheld, is said to have declared that
it is believed in Iowa that Mr. Dolliver
is being opposed for the Vice-Presidency
solely because it meant Mr. Cummins
election to the Senate.
Fairbanks to Save Indiana.
A majority of the members of the In
diana delegation desire to put forth their
best efforts to promote the renomination
of Vice-President Fairbanks, but Senator
Hemenway, Governor Hanley and James
P. Godrich.' chairman of the state cen
tral committee, all delegates-at-large, and
Joseph B. Keallng. political manager for
the Vice-President, are holding out
strongly against a suggestion that Mr.
Fairbanks' name be withdrawn as a can
didate r for President. Their argument,
stated briefly, is that Indiana instructed
its delegates to work for the nomination
of Mr. Fairbanks for the Presidency and
not for any otiier office. They have re
fused to be moved by the arguments from
some other members of the delegation
that now Mr. Fairbanks may not secure
first place and that his continuance as a
candidate for President is destroying
whatever opportunity tho state has to
furnish the Vice-President. Practically
the whole Republican state delegation lias
arrived in Chicago, prepared, to insist
that an Indiana man go on the National
ticket, whether it be first or second place,
if political strategy can bring about such
a result.
Watson Oppose Nomination.
The Republican state ticket is head
ed by Representative James E. Watson,
who is the nominee for Governor. On
the subject of whether Mr. Fairbanks
should again go on the ticket in sec
ond place, in view of the fact that he
has been and still Is a candidate for the
Presidential nomination, Mr. Watson
eaid:
"Speaking selfishly, I should like to
see Mr. Fairbanks nominated for Vice
President, if he cannot get the first
place. It would help the Republican
state ticket. In the interest of Mr.
Fairbanks himself, however. 1 must say
that I do not think it would be wisdom
for hi'm again to take the Vice-Presidential
nomination."
The Indications are that other mem
bers, of the Indiana delegation do not
share Mr. Watson's view as to the po
litical error of Mr. Fairbanks consent
ing to the use of his name for second
place or that they think that the in
terest of the state ticket is of more
importance.
State Candidates Anxious.
Immediately upon arrival in Chicago
of the nominees of the Indiana Repub
lican convention for state offices, they
began to stir up sentiment in favor of
another term for Mr. Fairbanks as pre
siding officer of the Senate. These men
reached Chicago determined to use their
influence to bring about the nomination
of Mr. Fairbanks for Vice-President.
Arguments advanced by candidates
for state offices have sharply divided
the Indiana delegation. The charge
is made freely that Mr. Fairbanks and
his political managers have no right
to refuse to adopt any course which
might strengthen the Republican party
in the state. On the other hand some
members of the Indiana delegation be
lieve that Mr. Fairbanks will stand
Just as go&d a show for second place
by remaining in the race for first place
until the convention has nominated a
candidate for President.
In any event there will be disap
pointment in Iowa or Indiana, and per
haps in both states, and1 Republican
leaders in other states are deprecating
the situation responsible for the fac
tional feeling which has been aroused.
Says Roosevelt Has No Choice.
Speaking of the report that Presi
dent Roosevelt has expressed a desire
for the nomination of .either Senator
Dolliver or Governor Cummings of
Iowa' for the Vice-Presidency, Con
gressman Hepburn of that state to
night said that in conversation last
Friday with the President the subject
of the vice-presidential nomination
was discussed and that his impression
was that the President had no desire
that Mr. Dolliver be a candidate and
moreover that he had no desire to
express a preference in the matter.
It was announced at Iowa head
quarters tonight that Mr. Dolliver had
expressed a preference for the renom
ination of Mr. Fairbanks.
At a meeting of the Iowa delegation
the following letter from Mr. Dolliver to
Governor D. Perkins, chairman of the
delegation, dated Fort Dodge, la., was
read :
Dolliver Does Not Want It.
"Fort Dodge, la.. June 13, 1908. Hon.
George D. Perkins, Chairman Iowa
Delegation, Chicago. Dear Sir: I de
sire to call your attention to a po
litical matter referred to in your note
of June 7. I have taken it for grant
ed that the talk of nominating me for
Vice-President was mainly a newspa
per agitation. I have had some experi
ence in these Vice-Presidential booms
nnd therefore have given little atten
tion to it. I desire, however, that you,
as chairman of the Iowa delegation,
should be fully advised as to my
views in respect to the matter.
"Now. in the first place, this is an of
fice which I do not desire. I have no
ambition in that direction. My ambitions
are altogether in serving our people from
my place in the Senate, and I could not
enter upon this candidacy without going
against my personal inclinations and my
interests as well.
"I do not underrate the dignity of the
office and, of course, the honor of being
associated with Mr. Taft in the campaign
is not one to be treated lightly. Not
withstanding these considerations. I feel
that my duty lies in the other direction.
I can render the party just as good ser--ice
on the stump as if I were on the
ticket.
"There are considerations also of a ra
Htical character local in our state which
seemS to me are almost peremptory in
indicating my duty.
"I feel that our delegation should be in
formed of my attitude In this matter.
"You have my full authority to take
such action as may be thought necessary
to withdraw my name from consideration
in- connection with the office if such con
sideration is found to be seriously con
templated. Very truly yours,
"J. P. DOLLIVER."
Cummins Men Insist.
No action wras taken by the delega
tion with regard to the letter, but later
a number of Iowa Republicans, including
four members of the . Iowa delegation,
drew up and signed a statement, which
reads:
To the progressive winp of the party it
seems preposterous that the great National
Convention should be swerved from its"
course and compelled to abandon its choice
simply to keep Cummins out of the Senate,
and that, too, by men who have heartily
disliked rolliver and are opposed to the
Roosevelt policies. How men can take the
position that they oppose Dolliver and yet
fnvor harmony in Iowa is not understand
able. The first avenue to permanent har
mony will he opened to the Republicans of
Iowa by selecting Senator Dolliver for Vice
President and unanimously sending Allison
and Cummins to the Senate.
The Iowans who oppose Mr. Dolliver's
nomination were active in heading off the
movement by protesting to delegates from
other states. Their sentiments were well
summed up by ex-Secretary of the Treas
ury Leslie M. Shaw, who said to Senator
Lodge:
'You don't -want another La Follette
in the Senate, do you?" he asked. "Well,
then, don't open the way. for sending
Cummins to the Senate, which you will
do should Dolliver vacate his seat there.
"Y'es, I might vote for Dolliver myself
if he were nominated, but we are going
to see to it that he is not nominated, must
not be."
AH these protests had their effect on
Senator Long, of Kansas, the original
sponsor of the Dolliver boom, for he gave
evident signs of weakening.
LESSER BOOMS ARE LAUNCHED
Sheldon, Guild and Knight Are Lat
est Favorite Sons.
CHICAGO. HI., June 15. The Nebraska
delegation today decided to place the
name of Governor George L. Sheldon In
nomination for Vice-President. Senator
Norris Brown will make the nomination
speech.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge today
headed the Massachusetts delegation in
a formal embassy to the Michigan and
California headquarters in the interest of
Governor Guild's candidacy for the Vice
Presidency, but met with a courteous re
buff. Massachusetts distributed Guild but
tons and some of the Bay State dele
gates visited the Hammond headquar
ters. A number of Massachusetts dele
gates expressed preference for a New
York man for Vice-President, and sev
eral from Connecticut and Vermont fa
vored such a selection. New Hampshire
and Rhode Island remained silent.
A' motion was sprung among the Cali
fornia delegates this morning for the
nomination of George A. Knight, of San
Francisco, for Vice-President. Several
leading Republicans of the state have
been urging him to enter the race, but
he has not yet given consent. His back
ers, however, say, they will go ahead and
lannch his boom. They claim they will
be able to line up practically all of the
Western delegations behind Mr. Knight
and to present a formidable front to
the convention. . .
Movements Depend on News.
WASHINGTON, June 15. Secretary
Taft stated today that he had not made
up his mind whether he will go to Cin
cinnati this week. Mr. Taft said his
going- will depend upon information he
received from the West. It is Under
stood the Secretary does not want to put
himself in the attitude of saying what he
will do or will not do in the contingency
of his nomination by the Republican convention.

Congressman Parsons Sends

EXPLAINS THE SITUATION
Advises Him That He Is Standing in
Way of Delegation's Landing
Vice-Presidency for Some
New York Man.
CHICAGO, June 15. Absolute har
mory, so far as surface indications
went, characterised the proceedings of
the New York delegation. For the first
time in modern politics in that state
SenatoY Thomas C. Piatt was not in
attendance, his place being taken by
Senator J. P. Allis, of Norwich. Senator
Chauncey M. Depew was chosen as the
state's representative in the list of
honorary vice-presidents. The con
flict which existed yesterday over the
membership on the committee on reso
lutions between Representative Sereno
E. Payne and Representotive Herbert
Parsons had been " settled over night
and Mr, Parsons himself presented Mr.
Payne's name for the place. State
Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff was
made chairman of the delegation.
Woodrufr to Name Hughes.
A resolution was adopted unanimous
ly requesting General Stewart L. Wood
ford to present the nomination of
Charles E. Hughes as the choice of
New York Siate. There was no men
tion of the Vice-Presidency.
New York's effort to get together on a
candidate for the Vice-Presidency was
one of the most interesting features to
day. Although the delegation was to
meet before noon, there was no expecta
tion that the matter of a Vice-Presidential
choice would be directly consid
ered by the caucus.
The situation was peculiar. Long since
a portion of the New York delegates
abandoned hope of actually accomplish
ing the nomination of Governor Hughes
for the Presidency, but General Wood
ford; one of the dfelegates-at-large, has
made it plain that no probable combina
tion of circumstances can prevent the
presentation of Governor Hughes' name,
even if every other candidate but Taft
should withdraw.
This being the case, and the interest
in the Vice-Presidential candidacy of
Representative James S. Sherman, of
TJtica, steadily increasing among the
manding both places on the ticket,
parently placed in the position ' of de
New York delegates, the state was ap
of affairs forced a halt on the part of
Mr. Sherman's friends, and it was not
The realization of this strange position
difficult to secure their acquiescence in
the decision to defer any formal action
on the subject of the Vice-Presidency
until the Hughes' matter had been Anally
disposed of.
The Hughes men. before entering the
caucus; took the position that they would
co-operate in any effort to unite the dele
gation on a candidate for Vice-President,
provided there was a united effort in tho
vote for Hughes on the first ballot for
President.
To the harmonizing of this situation, the
state leaders therefore, devoted their at
tention. So delicate was the condition,
that when the causus met today there
was practically no idea that it would at
all, at least formally, consider the ques-.
tion of a Vice-Presidential candidate.
Delegates from New England and other
states, including Indiana, gave the idea
to the New York men that latent strength
was available for the backing of a New
York state Vice-Presidential candidate if
New York could only harmoniously dpcide
who it was to be. An augury in this di
rection was the disposition evident on
nearly all hands before the caucus to
avoid controversy on minor matters and
committee assignments. Before the cau
cus met there was a general opinion that
there would be met a,fter all no opposition
to the choice of State Chairman Timothy
L. Woodruffff, of Brooklyn, as chairman
of the delegation: of Representative Se
reno E. Payne, of Auburn, as member of
the committee on resolutions, or of Wil
liam Ward, of Westchester, to succeed
himself as a member of the National
committee. There had been early promise
of a warm fight on all three, of these
matters.
Will Present Hughes' Names.
Woodruff was made chairman of the
delegation. A resolution was adopted
unanimously requesting General Stew
art L. Woodford to present the nomi
nation of Charles E. Hughes as the
choice of New York State. There was
no mention made of the Vice-Presidency.
Congressman Herbert Parsons sent
a sharp telegram to Governor Hughes
this morning in which he said the
nomination of Secretary Taft was now
practically assured and that Governor
Hughes was practically out of the
running. He advised the Governor
there was a feeling that New York
should be accorded the Vice-Presidency
if a suitable name was quoted
from that state, but so long as tht
delegation was bound by their obliga
tion to Governor Hughes it was im
potent to secure the recognition to
wjiich it was believed New Y'ork was
entitled. He called attention to the
language of the resolution instructing
the delegation to vote for Governor
Hughes until he is nominated or he
withdraws, the intimation being that
the delegation was powerless to act
unless Governor Hughes should with
draw. Low Denies the Story.
There was a rumor also that Ex
Mayor Low had been in communica
tion with Governor Hughes on the
subject- Both Frederick R. Hazzard,
of Syracuse, who was named as a dele
gate on the Governor's suggestion, and
Mr. Low, denied that they had com
municated with Governor Hughes. Mr.
Hazzard said:
"I have not had any communication
with Governor Hughes on this ques
tion or with any person. I mean this
denial to be unequivocal."
HUGHES REFUSES TO DECIDE
Message Blocks Way of New Yorker
for Vice-President.
ALBANY, N. Y., June 15. Governor
Hughes replied in a telegram as fol
lows to Congressman Parsons:
Your telegram received. My position in
Tegard to the Presidential nomination re
mains the same. After careful consideration
of all circumstances I do not find that any
such exigency exists as would Justify me in
deciding upon the withdrawal of my name.
The telegram sent by Mr. Parsons
last night to Mr. Hughes follows:
Feel it my duty to recall to you that the
verbatim Instructions to New York County
delegates from their constituents were to
vote for you for the Presidency until you
were either nominated or directed to with
draw your name from the consideration of
the convention, thereby contemplating the
possibility of a situation for action by you
and placing upon you the decision as to how
we shall vote In every emergency. Every
one concedes that Taft's nomination on the
first ballot Is a certainty. May we know
when the state delegation meets at 11
o'clock tomorrow what your decision is, so
that the New York County delegates, can
discharge their duty to their constituents.
In loyalty to your Presidential candidacy
we naturally- decline to urge any "ew
Yorker for Vice-President, despite reauests
from other states. Your decision about
Presidency, therefore, directly affects crys
tallzatlon of sentiment upon a New York
candidate for Vice-President, except that
we have reluctantly felt compelled to assure
delegates that your determination not to
accept 'it yourself is irrevocable.
AY ILL REMAIN IN ' CONTEST
Hughes Makes It Plan He Will Not
Withdraw.
NEW Y'ORK. June 15. Governor
Hughes refused today to discuss for
quotation the delegatioh's action at the
Republican convention at Chicago. He
marie it clear, however, that he would
not request that his name be with
drawn from the Presidential race, and
that he will not in any way interfere
wtth the deliberations of the New Y'ork
State delegates.
The Governor stated his position to
ward the Vice-Presidency is thorough
ly understood.
iOWA .MAN MUST TAKE IT
(Continued From First Pa-ge.i
the Presidency, and through fear that
he won't take or can't get. if he .will
talve, the Vice-Presidency.
Inclined to Resent.
When I suggested a moment ago that
Mr. Roosevelt is the boss of this conven
tion. I did not mean to characterize the
delegates as the servile agents or tools
of a single man s wish; I should have said
that the convention is doing or will do
what the President want-1, because it be
lieves that what he wants the Country
wants and will have. That is all there is
to it. There is an undoubted atmosphere
of resentment over Presidential interfer
ence with the Vice-Presidency, though it
is hardly yet openly breathed. But it may
be. It would be, doubtless, if it gave
promise of being made effectual.
The President is not only naming the
candidates, but he is making the plat
form, which is to be a Roosevelt docu
ment throughout. When the injunction
and tariff planks were made public to
day, there were signs of revolt among
the stand-patters and conservatives.
They threatened to make their last
stand on the injunction declaration.
Tariff revision, not now but soon, they
long ago accepted as a definite Repub
lican policy, but as for interference
with the power of the courts- to issue
injunctions against anybody never, no
never; the courts are the bulwark of
our institutions and the final refuge
and solace of every free man and must
not be'interfered with.
Makes "Uncle Joe" Wilt.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon' was summoned
from the Danville backwoods to lead the
injunction fisht in person. He came,
saw the proposed plank, and lie wilted.
Any one can see with half an eye the
dreadfully radical and extreme nature
of the planK It boldly declares for legis
.lation that will prevent the courts from
issuing injunctions "without proper con
sideration." It can readily be seen that
in face of such a fearful prohibition no
civilized court would have the hardihood
to issue anything that even looks like an
injunction "without proper considera
tion." Of course such a plank would be
laughed at by the labor unions, whom it
would be desired to placate,, but it would
not please' or placate anybody, for it is
meaningless and inane, and does not
commit the party to anything and isn't
intended to.
Just what ail the row made by the
Cannon stand-patters is about is hard to
understand. They object to any expres
sion on injunctions, however, saying with
entire truth that the proposed plank
would gain no votes from the laboring
men. and any utterance that would com
mand their votes would certainly drive
away more from other quarters. '
Burrows' Long Keynote.
The proposed platform has today
rivaled the troublesome and uncertain
Vice-Presidential contest In interest,
and probably will provoke many con
troversies in the resolutions commit
tee as well as in the convention. The
convention meets at noon tomorrow,
and will proceed to listen to a 15,000
word "keynote" speech from Chairman
Burrows. Perhaps, however. It won't
listen, but will give the long-winded
orator leave to print. The original
draft of the Burrows address, it is said,
didn't contain the name of Roosevelt in
all its interminable length, but gave a
review of the great achievements of
the Republican party In the almost
forgotten days of old. Probably Mr.
Burrows thought it was high time to
remember them, but he has been ad
monished that something is due the
present American and is adding a few
paragraphs, it is said, so that every
body will be satisfied. But as a cam
paign keynote that Burrows master
piece must certainly he a hummer.

Ml A STAMPEDE
Roosevelt Boomers Ready to
. Present His Name.
BRAG OF THEIR STRENGTH
Say They Have Delegate to Make the
Nomination Early in Rollcall.
West Virginia Hotbed
of Defection.
CHICAGO. June 15. The promoters of
the Roosevelt boom movement, now claim
that they havfe secured the services of a
"delegate" from a state other than Ala
bama that will be reached early in the
rollcall to present the President's name
to the convention. Former Representa
tive Thomas W. Philipps. of Newcastle,
Pa., declared tonight that Mr. Roose
velt's name unquestionably would be
sprung in the convention, but declined
to give the delegate's name or the state
he represents, even in part. These facts,
he says, will remain secret until the
candidates are placed In nomination.
The Roosevelt boomers are counting on
a stampede of Taft delegates to the
President if they can get the latter's
name before the convention in a forceful
manner. The opinion was expressed by
Mr. Philipps tonight that the boom which
he is engineering for Roosevelt Is grow
ing. Two members of the West Virginia
delegation who claim they will remain
(oval to their Instructions for Taft, de
clare that the Taft men are in the
minority and -that the defection would
be great if a Roosevelt stampede were
started.
The hotbed of the Taft defection is at
the Lexington Hotel where the West
Virginia delegation is quartered. A meet
ing was had there tonight under the
leadership of Mr. Philipps but it was at
tended by only a few delegates and ii
large number who have no vote in the
convention.
General George W. Curtin, of West Vir
ginia, who has declared Roosevelt to be
his choice for the Presidency, stated
after the caucus that he believed every
man In the delegation would be loyal to
hiG instructions unless a general move
ment was begun In the convention. He
reiterated that he would like to see the
President renominated. The delegation
decided to have badges printed bearing
the words:
"Scott for Vice-President."
The Georgia delegation held a con
ference at the Grand Pacific Hotel; and
later the members threw cold water on
the story that the delegation, which is
instructed for Taft, would join other
delegations in order to stampede the con
vention for Roosevelt. Members of the
Alabama and Texas delegations denied
they would start a stampede for Roose
velt, against hie expressed wish that
nothing of the kind be done.
CHOICE OF THE NORTHWEST
Oregon and Washington Delegates
Name Committeemen.
CHICAGO, June 15. The Oregon dele
gation held a meeting in Senator Fulton's
rooms this morning and agreed upon the
following designations:
R. E. Williams, National committee
man: Senator C: W. Fulton, chairman
of the delegation and member of the
committee on credentials; Clyde Huntley,

notify the President; H. W. Coe, to no
tify the Vice-President.
All the Oregon delegates and Alter
nates J. H. Brown and A. L. Tetu, were
present.
It is practically decided that Senator
Fulton will be chairman of the commit
tee on credentials of the convention.
Harry Dougherty, of Ohio, was slated
for the place by the Taft men, who
finally decided that Ohio was getting too
many places and picked Senator Fulton
for the place.
The Washington delegation organized
this morning, and made the following
designations:
R. A. Balllnger, chairman and mem
ber of the resolutions committee; D. L

Mtlierss Milk
Carries the Laxative With It
No need to give Cascarets direct to the
baby. If the mother takes them,
baby gets the benefit.
This vegetable laxative conveys its full
effect to the mother's milk.
So one candy tablet, taken when
needed, keeps both mother and baby
' well.
No other laxative is gentle enough for
a baby. No other acts so naturally.
Use Cascarets alone.
Any person living largely on milk must
have the help of a laxative.
Milk fails to supply the laxative effects
that other foods supply.
So nursing mothers all need Cascarets
