Former Post master General Hitchcock has been employed by the Wood forces in negotiating the capture and instituting contests when the "or ganization" refuses to be delivered. Most of the southern delegations had been "lined-up" by the "old guard" of politicians captained by Senator Penrose, for it is by utilizing this support that control of the convention is main tained and the politicians enabled to select the throwing their purchased delegates to the man. chosen by the The "legitimate" uses of the huire Camnaip-n funds are heinnr pxplained before the senate investigation committee.

Roosevelt had an nounced to the country on the night of his election In November 1904, that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself. Theoretically this left an open open field. But actually, the fact that President Kooseveit favored his - Secretary of War for the succession, gave William Howard Taft of Ohio a vantage which presaged the inevitable result. This as surance was in no degree lessened by the fact that Frank H. Hitchcock un dertook the management of Taft's cam 'palgn. Senator Julius C. Burrows of Michi gan was temporary chairman ,anl Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Mass- acnusetts was permanent chairman.
