.Chicago.. June 11.-With the first
meeting of the Republican national con
, ventkm only three- days to u 'uture

tofore delegates, having sotg to pay
but their hotel bills, have been willing
t come on - several days ahead of the
actusl meeting of th convention and
spend their time meeting old acquaint
ances and discussing w tit n all
of the party Issues which In thi 'mean
time were being determined by the
leaders behind some clksed doors. All
but the Utter part of this Is now
changed. The party platform wUl M
determined upon In the same old way.
but the delegate will all eome In a
bunch, will transact their part and then
huetle home, saving" on hotel bills what
they have to pay out on railroad fare. ,
.: t'WTaft will Be Hamad. , vT
f Of coarse the presidential candidate
is es good s nominated. He will be
William. H. Taft of Ohio. The so called
fellies" still maintain a feeble bluff,
there Is talk of terrible things that
iku win hafnra the credentials oom-
latttee. and as a kind of expiring gasp
one of their henchmen was telling every
una who hart natlenee enough to listen
that none of the favorite son "state
delegations" would go into the conven
tion unless they had assurances that
the .committee wouid be made up only
of members from states in which there
were no contests. " ,
: But there is nothing to all this talk.
The "allies" are thoroughly beaten, and
they know It. In fact. In private con
versation and not for publication they
freely admit It ; A new Republican par
ty has been born during the last several
vears. and right Is Its "papa." The old
time element, including the Aldrichs,
the Cranes, the Payne, and the Dai
Bells, which used to run the party ac
cording to Its own. Ideas, ha now dis
covered mat times nave cnangeov iaax
new policies have come, to the fore,
that they have not kept up with the
times, and that younger men, represent
ative of the times are taking their
places as leaders. , , .- ... i. '
i ' Beady to Bow,' " V-
i The main objects from bow on are to
mn.inta.ln harmony. . The "allies'' 'are
ready to bow to the inevitable. They
. want nothing lit all at Chicago which
might come up to plague them during
the campaign. They are ready to take
off their coats and work for the success
of the ticket The one thing they ask
Is that the new order of things) may be
1 a easy as possible, keeping In mind the
fact that a new house Is to be elected
and the tenure of the party is to be af
fected by the coming" election. , .
Whn wilt ha tha runnlna nrnta-nn the
ticket is still an open question.-. Deep
down In the minds of many of the party
is that it will yet be determined. There is
a quiet current setting in. The talk of
nominating Senator Dolliver of Iowa for
second place, was renewed with in'
creased vigor .today.
Senator Evans of ' Kansas: returned
from a visit, to Fort Dodge, Dolllyer's
home, with the statement that the elo-
mient iowan was Jn a receptive mood.
The Mlnnesotans Idea was the boom
for Frank Kellogg, the national com
mitteeman from that state, and the at
torney : wno neipea prepare tne case
sgalnst the Standard Oil company which
resulted in the imposition of such a
whopping big fine, and who Is now con
cluding tne prosecution or iiarnman.
So encouraged were they by their own
erioris tnai urgent telegrams were sent
to the other members of the delegation.

eral members of the party on arrival
here y settled that there wss only one
Hughes man on the train, and he was
half-hearted about it It was also de
clare a mere was no tela about the vice
presidential situation. Senator Depew,
phe of the "big four," said to- a United
Press representative that this subject
had not only been discussed by them
but would be earnestly suppressed until
after the presidential nomination ha-1
been -made. Hughes, of course, will
not be pushed for the place.
'The only strong objection to Cortel
you is that to take two members of the
political cabinet to make up the ticket
would emphasise the control of the ad
ministration over the convention and
make it look like a personally conducted
excursion.
As for Congressman Sherman of
Utica, the New Yorkers seem to think
that he could be of. raocl more service
to the party bys running . tor governor
of the state than by taking the second
Place on the national ticket Sherman
