said in part :
"The outcome in Illinois is not a
victory for me, but primarily, a vic
tory for the cause of soccinl and in
dustrial justice. Moreover it is a
stinging rebuke to the alliance of
crooked business, bosses and special
privilege- to thwart the will of the
people by scandalous abuse of federal
patronage, and the use of other me
thods, including violence, to work
shameless frauds.
"The people of Illinois had a
chance to speak for themselves. The
result in Indiana, Michigan and Ken
tucky would have been practically the
same if the same chance of expres
sion had been given the people. 1
believe evcrj single delegate against
us in these three states will misrepre
sent tho eoplo behind him. Kven un
der tho present system all the rest if

Charles E. Hughes or Now York,
Justice of tho United .States supremo

probablo "dark horse" for tho re
publican presidential nomination at

nation on the early ballets. Despite
the fact that Justlco Hughes has 'de
clared that nothing could Induce hint
to leave tho supremo bench, tho dele
gates today discussed his availability
as a republican national standard
bearer.
Many of tho state ieadors horo be
lieve that as a result of Roosevelt's
victory in tho Illinois primary, Pres
ident Taft 'a name may not bo pre
sented to tho Chicago convention.
The standpat element is greatly
shocked ovor tho outcome In Illinois.
Eulogy of President Taft and a
direct slap ut Theodore Roosovelt arc
included in tho platform. Taft Is
applauded for his "patriotism, wis
dom and undramatlc cottrago." The
initiative, referendum nnd recall
measures aro bitterly denounced, but
the delegates endorsed tho tariff
board plan of revision, at tho samo
timo condemning tho democratic
hottso for revising tho tariff down
ward, "regardless of tho facts rep
resented, or without curing for tho
needs of American labor."
Tho denunciation of tho Initiative
and referendum is intended as a slap
at Colonel Roosevelt.
Tho convention also urged tho
adoption of the Aldrlch bunk plan.
Tho tariff board plank rocommended
by tho convention was writtou by
United States Senator Root.
