PUBLICITY BLOCKS ANTI-TAFT SCHEME Movement to Call on President to Withdraw Name Is , . Losing Ground. TERMS NOT AGREED UPON Paris, or Minnesota, Advocate of Scheme to Circulate Petitions Throughout - Country, but Support 13 Lacking. WASHINGTON. July 9. Publicity. iven to the plans of progressive Re publican members of the House to cir culate petitions calling on President Taft to withdraw as head of the Re publican National ticket, had the effect today of retarding its development, if not actually salting the scheme. Further inquiry today developed the fact that what was proclaimed yester day as a general. Nation-wide move ment to circulate petitions among vot ers had thus far been confined almost entirely to several leading progressives of the House. The reported support of conservative Republicans, it was ad mitted, probably will not be forthcom Ire. Kepresentatlve Davis, of Minnesota, has been actively advocating the draft ing of petitions to be sent out through the country for voters signatures. H had a conference with Senator Dixon. campaign manager for Colonel Roose velt. and it is understood the scheme was discussed. No agreement was reached by the progressives to take up the petition plan, and it was rumored that lack of Keneral support was responsible for the delay. A draft of a petition to be signed by the members of the House was shown yesterday to Representa Ives Davis and Lindbergh, of Minneso ta: Jackson. Rees, llurciock and Young, of Kansas; Kent, of -California; war burton, of Washington, and several others. They did not agree upon Its terms, and thus far none has signed It, Antl-Taft members of the Senate, with several from the House, have de cided to draw up a declaration critlcls lng the nomination made at Chicago and setting forth their belief that Pres ident Taft was not legally nominated. This will be offered to all progressives for signature, to be used as a cam paign statement. ROOSEVELT PLANS FUSION War Map Prepared Showing rarty Strength in Each State. OYSTER BAY. N. Y., July 9. Plans wera outlined today whereby Colonel Roosevelt hones to capture local or state tickets from both the Demo rratlc and Republican parties in fur therance of his purpose to put the new third party on its- feet. It is. pro posed to execute the move within the partv organizations where Roosevelt nentlment Is strong enough to, make such an attempt feasible. "In certain districts." said . Colonel Roosevelt. "The Republican nomina- llons will be. captured for progressives who will support our candidates for electors. In other districts this will be done through the Democratic organ Ixatlons." As the first step In the, plan there is under preparation what may be the most elaborate political chart of the cmintrv ever made. When completed Colonel Roosevelt's organizers will "aave data from every Congressional dis trict In the country regarding the strength of the Roosevelt following, conditions on the Democratic and Re publican organizations, tabulations howinar the vote In past National elections and lists of the best avail able timber for the new party among political workers and leading business nd professional men. This will be Roosevelt's war map. It will show him at a glance where the best field lies In each state and dis trict for the success of Roosevelt elec toral candidates. In some cases it is booed to arrange fusion of the Re publican and Democratic tickets pro viding - the candidates on the local tickets will support the Roosevelt electors in exchange for having the Roosevelt strength thrown to tnem. Several promises of support in New York City, were said to have been made today to Colonel Roosevelt.'' STEAMER'S INJURY .SLIGHT City of Panama to Resume Voyage South on July 15.
