He is not to have a friend on the .tflogatlon and the aecond elective term Ming Is to be drowned out under (he Honoroua awing and rhythm of a rhetori cal Taft Indorsement, Like a. hive of gigantic bees the dele ates from over the state are swarm mi about the Fulton-Taft and the Mul-sey-Beach headquarters at the Imperial today. In every corner and on every i loor men are hanging onto buttonholes , rul talking confidentially of what ought j o be done. , ...' Caucus Will Beta Xt Tonlfcht these delegates will swarm nd some time before the dawn will be ived In caucus. Then everything will ne cut out according to pattern. What ever differences there may be between the Fulton headquarters and Its fallow ing and those finding haven where Mr. ..-ni-h and Mulkey hold forth, will be settled in the caucus. Out of the talk fust will come a slate and an old-time i -rogram which will make the bones of .rartcd leaders glow, with the pulsa i kiiis of resurrecting warmth. The main result of It all will be the ellmlna- ion of Senator Bourne and the assas- Mimtlon of hi ambitions. When the convention Is called to-, -M-ther tomorrow everything Is expected i run like a well oiled clock, W. M. t :ake, chairman of the state central i committee, will call the gathering to il other' at 10 o'clock In the Empire the-' , t re.

If. he -.', the prophet' any, the convention will at itnce look like a -millionaire's ni eating hit by a dynamite bomb. If ha does, delegates say, Mr. Cake will f r ltmlnatod from the convention just Senator Bourne la to be eliminated i'om the national delegation. Anything at gets into the cogs will be picked in email plersv' After the temporary chairman la se ' rted the credentials ...committee will a translated from the slate and" a inrt recess will be taken ' until - I clork, to give the committee a chance i determine who shall have seats in ',' convention. At 1 o'clock ' the real notion will begin. At that time the - i.ite will be read still further down i id a permanent chairman, permanent !-'retry, permanent- committees and national delegates will be found. Preal . :ntial electors will also be found on slate. In fact everything necessary '-r the guidance of the chairman and ih gathering will be there. Shut Out Bonn Man.
