This argument baa weight, and may prevail. But tomorrow will be a momentous day in the - history of the Republican party and the Nation.

CHICAGO. June 17. (Special.) The two camps of the "progressives," those of Cummins and La Follette, were to day scenes of lively battles by Taft and Roosevelt adherents, to enlist their aid In getting control of the tempor ary organization of the National con vention tomorrow. From both the Cum' mlns and La Follette headquarters is sued statements to the effect that ef forts at a tleup had been unavailing. Governor Deneen was in conference with Senator W. N.

La Follette Men Tm Deaf Ear. At the La Follette headquarters deaf ear was tumedto the pleadings of Taft and Roosevelt visitors, who cast longing eyes at the 38 delegate votes controlled by the Ylsconsln man. Jobn J. Hannan, La Follette's secretary, said that the Wisconsin and North Dakota forces would continue to play a lone nana. The decision was arrived at. however, to support Governor Francis McGovern, of Wisconsin, for temporary chairman ot the convention. Just what effect Roosevelt support of McGovern would have is not certain, but La Fol lette men declare that they will not support any man given aid by either Taft or Roosevelt In an upper room at the Grand Pa cific Hotel La Follette's aides are busy drafting his platform. His followers National committee for temporary chairman becomes the representative of the men who have been guilty of these infamous frauds." He appealed to "every delegate elect ed for Mr. Taft, who is an honest man,' to stand with his supporters in organ izing the convention. William J. Bryan sat in reporters' row In the orchestra pit. He cheered loudly when he appeared, but refused even to make a bow. "I am a newspaperman tonight," he explained. L TWO DELEGATES SAY THEY WILL SWITCH TO ROOSEVELT.

What Monday developed in the way of great est interest, the gradual unfolding of the plan of campaign. Briefly stated. the plan of campaign Is: Fight. Convention Not Love Feast. Those persons who come here expect ing to participate in a love feast are hereby warned that the advance notices from both sides announce battle, mur der andsudden death. So far as can be learned. Victor Rosewater Intends to open the proceedings .mildly. Fos sessed of a well-modulated voice of pleasing timbre, it is his intention to step forward precisely at noon on I Tuesday and. after rapping three times with his gavel, say: "Gentlemen." That, It is understood, is about as far as Mr. Rosewater will advance along orator! I cal lines. If reports are to be believed. the riot will start at that moment and In a few minutes the fighting will be general at the front. No man can tell, It Is said, what will happen. One promulgation Is that Colonel Roosevelt, having brought his trusty I ax from Oyster Bay, will appear on the scene and chop a few sections out I of William Barnes, of New York, while the other side has put it in circulation that the feroolous Murray Crane will climb aboard William Flinn and macerate him in full view of those who are on the spot Be all this as it may, the fact is that there isn't a coat-of-mall left in Chicago, and various statesmen and patriots have rented fire helmets from the ' gallant fire laddies in order to protect the most useless portions ot their anatomies their heads. , ' . Stroaar-Arm Squads Ready. The appearance of Colonel Roosevelt, It has been bruited about, will be the signal for a large section of Mr. Lil lian Russell's iron puddlers, from Pittsburg, to advance from the center of the hall, using Iron canes that have been thoughtfully provided in a gen tlemanly attempt to show the Taft delegates the errors of their ways, while 250 brave policemen, hand-picked by Boise Penrose from the Chicago force, will endeavor to run the pud dlers in for Interfering . in Interstate commerce in negro delegates.

It ap peared to be the universal conviction that they would not be unseated either by the committee on credentials or by the convention if an appeal is taken. The Taft delegates In no way recog nize their contesting brothers, who are still hopeful that the decision of tne National committee will be reversed. The contesting Washington delegates had a meeting this morning, but ad journed without action and met again tonight with like result. They are waiting for the Rooevelt managers to perfect their programme. Tonight the contesting delegates at tended the Roosevelt rally at the Au ditorium Theater in a body.

"To eat the- steak, suh," replied the Colonel. Rosewater Will Present Root for Temporary Chairman and Then Idahoan Will Be Proposed by Colonel's Men. CHICAGO, June 17. A carefully- mapped-out plan of procedure for the first session of the Republican National Committee promises to bring the Issue squarely before the convention early in the day. Victor Rosewater, of Nebraska, chair man of the National committee, will call the convention to order promptly at noon tomorrow and will Introduce the minister to offer the opening prayer. The prceedlngs up to this point it is understood, will not be interrupted. As soon as the prayer is concluded Mr. Rosewater will annonnce that in obedience to the will of the National committee he presents EUhu Root, of New York, as temporary chairman. A moment will be allowed for other nominations and Senator Borah, of Idaho, will be offered as the Roose velt candidate. Governor Hadley, of Missouri, floor leader of the Roose velt forces, was promised today by Chairman Rosewater, recognition for all the Roosevelt motions. California Caae to Be Test. Although they have a contested case in Alabama, the Roosevelt leaders have chosen to make their first test on the California vote, characterising that case as one of the "most flagrant of the atempts to thwart the will of the people.' Governor Johnson, of California, will attempt to cast the entire 26 votes of his state for Senator Borah. His right to do so will be challenged by the two Taft delegates from the fourth district, seated by the National committee. This will precipitate the fight and the Roosevelt leaders are expected to move the substitution of a new roll for the temporary roll reported by . the Na tional committee, the motion to ex clude all contested delegates from vot ing upon the proposition. Chairman Rosewater will assert that as chairman of the National committee he has no authority to entertain any motion whatsoever: that he has noth ing to do with the convention Itself and that the convention Is in no sense The bickering, however, will be as ...

Delay Is Urged. The members inclined to mbderatlon urged that the temporary-organization t of the convention was not the conven tion itself and the fire of the Roose velt forces should be reserved.- This did not mean that there would be an absence of fight from the fall of the gavel.
