"Wo IUib oUr," Orl Majority. t'nlll the convention waa fully organ ised no real business could ba tianeart ed. The credentials committee has po Itlrely refused to hurry along the contests. The majority members de dare thay have been unjustly criticised In advance and that they Intend to how to the country that ther la no team roller. Because of thla fact the question of nomination was widely dlacussed among the delegates. Many favored keeping the credentials committee on th Job In an effort to get through by lata aft-rnoon. so that a night session might be held to adop th platform and nomi nate the ticket. Suggestions of a third candidate someone who mlaht rallv to bis surport the rank and file from both tha Roosevelt and Taft campaigns lagged today, because none of the men suggested would definitely assure those who favored such a movement that they would sanction it if started.

Every flake of "Force" is a whole grain of wheat "Force" contains and delivers all ,'the food values necessary to the building and pre serving of health and strength.

Out while the leaders were talking thla way, many of the Individual dele-1 gates wore asserting that they did not believe the party should renominate the president. Assert SooTeIt Still In mac. The Rooaevelt men still deny the colonel Is out" of the race, and contend that when a vote Is taken there will be universal surprise. Delegates who favor a compromise had not crystallized their sentiment on any particular candidate. ine situation, so far as the candi dates were concerned, today shaped up o' that it appeared that If President Taft were not renominated on the first ballot, he prohal.'y would i.ot be nomi nated at all. The managers of his cam paign asserted that he would be chosen. William Barnes Jr., in denying the renewed report of additional defections In the New York delegation,. Insisted that the delegation was still morally bound to.the president. He pointed out, that the state convention asked the dele gates to do all In their power to bring about the renominatlon of the chief ex ecutive, and asserted that he saw little reason why any delegate should choose to disregard instructions.
