Savage Attack Made Upon Roose

Taft's Bureau.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa., April 12.
That tho republican presidential
nomination at Chicago may hlngo on
tho result of tomorrow's primary
election In Pennsylvania Is tho be
lief here today of politicians. Many
assert that If President Taft loes
tho Pennsylvania delegation or falls
to secure a majority It will prove a
deathblow to bis candidacy.
Tho state republican machine,
headed by United States Senator
Penrose, Is working tooth and nail
for a Taft victory. Ho has Instruct
ed his lieutenants to get tho dele
gates at any cost.
Tnft Is Confident.
If Colonel Roosevelt carries tho
state It is generally believed hero
that either Roosevelt or Supreme
Court Justice Charles E. Hughes
will be nominated by the national
convention.
Tho Taft following, however, la
confident of success, Senator Pen
rose predicting that tho president
will carry 10 of tho 12 Philadelphia
congressional districts, maintaining
that Colonel Roosevelt will captltro
but a few country districts.
The alleged Inconsistency ofTheo
doro Roosevelt and what It terms tho
"Insldo history" of William Flynn of
Pittsburg, manager of Roosevelt's
Pennsylvania campaign, all dwelt
upon at length hero today In a
statement Riven out at Taft head-"
quarters. The president's campaign
managers declare that "Flynn was
driven out of politics by an uprising
of the good people of Pittsburg
tho same people that ho and Roose
velt now purport to represent.
Is the Practical Man.
After charging that Flynn mada
$19,000,000 out of politics, the re-,
port adds:
"Of course this la not the Theo
dore Roosevelt of the "let tho peo
ple rule club' established by William
Jennings Bryan, but Theodoro Roose
velt, 'the practical man' known to
E. II. Harrlman and others when
tho people were not looking.
"If Colonel Roosevelt Is sincere In

ho says in Pennsylvania, ho now
stands for exactly tho things he has
repeatedly denounced tho state of
