The inevitable Result was a renewal of third-term talk, with gladsome proph ecies from Bourne ana - nis couaoor- ators. Walklna- through the lobbies one would . think himself at times at a Democratic convention because of as sertions that Taft could not be elected. This is not a biased statement. A Re publican senator of national fame, from an eastern state, said - "Don't you realize now why we fought TaftT Don't you hear, on i every hand that: he can't be elected T"; . , ,. .4 . . .-. atossnlt O Brran.

His continued conferences with the '"al lies" gives the lie to the report that Uiev and other senators have agreed to Ignore him on account of his Interview in which he said the Oregon legislature was morally bound to elect Chamber lain, tha people's choice, to the senate. when the situation was explained to Lodge, he said: "I didn't know that the elected mem bers ot tha legislature gave a pledgo to vote for the popular cnoloe.

Washington, a member of the- subcommittee on resolutions, has presented a plank embodying the Ful ton - Increased rate suspension bill, but no decision was reached throughout the long night session. Fulton, as chair man of the credentials committee, has become engineer of the "steam roller," carrying - out the instructions of the Taft managers to seat those delegates who had been declared by the national committee to be entitled to seats. His action in limiting the presentation by each side in delegate contest cases to seven minutes has caused anger among the "allies," who swear they will -carry the fight upon the floor of the conven tion. Borah's boom for Cummins has spread Suite generally, as the Idanoan became nown as having a Roosevelt voucher for the Iowa governor. The Oregon delegation refused to loin It, Fulton having lined up most 01 mem ror f air- banks. It ts plain that the vice-presidential candidate will not be chosen until Taft 1st aafely nominated, when the White House will issue a ukaso and its man will be named without dif ficulty. The president controls, ana hone can dispute his domination, though the "allies" growl. Bourne says it Is outrageous ' that any Incumbent should; force his personal choice on the party, 1 and delegatea feel more or less morti fication over heir position, being com nelled to foreao the exercise of their own judgment and follow commands so obviously emanating from one man.'
