Questions Upon Which ltoosevelt and

Thero aro u. number of questions
upon which Mr. Hoosovolt and I havo

wo now agree:
First Wo havo differed upon tho
oleetlon of senators by the people. I
began this reform 22 years ago, and
secured an Indorsoiuont of it In our

DELEGATES FOR

"Colonel Ceming t Shtw the Pttpto
That He Is Sttti Thilr Frit
Says Flinn of Pennsylvania.
CHICAGO, Juno 8. Flattened In
every contest so far brought ibeforo
tho republican national committee by
the operation of tho steam-rollers,
Roosevelt leaders here this afternooa
aro convinced that all of the contests
to come up except one that of tho
Washington state delegates will be
decided in favor of Taft, began pre
parations to get control of tho na
tional convention for Roosevelt.
Fifteen representatives of as many
states where Roosevelt la believed to
be the strongest with the people, cdtu
fcrred at the Congress hotel aad
elected William Flinn of Pittsburg,
chairman of the meeting and Frank
Knox of Michigan, secretary. 'The
gathering decided to at oace round
up every delegate, regtrdlesa of wke
t,hcr be is Instructed, in an endeavor
to whip them Into line for Roosevelt.
Each participant In the meettas was
told that the only- hope -RoowreU
now had was to get individual dele
gates to agree to vote against sus
taining tho national committee's tem
porary roll.
Oust All ltoosevelt Men
Flinn declared that the national
committee would oust overy Roose
velt contestant. Ho declared that It
President "Kift got every contestant
his majority would not exceed 25 and
urged everyone at tho meeting per
sonally to Influence delegates so this
morgln would bo over-turned when
tho convention meets.
"Tho committee is already under
suspicion," said Flinn. "I feel cer-
that ,t ,a IotM d ,ve the
. .
people or their rights. The colonel Is
coming to show tho people that lie is
still their friend and representative."
Talk of Roosevelt, his leaders and
delegates bolting, should the colonel
lose all or his contestants, grew etlll
loudor today. It now seems certain
that the national committee will not
seat any of tho Roosevelt contestants
except possibly thoso from tho state
of Washington, and the belief is gen
eral that Hoosovolt will hold his own
convention. Tho Roosevelt peoplo
deny that they aro the bolters.
Italanco of Power
It Is evident to disinterested obser
vers that Senator La Folette may
hold the balance of power.
Tho La Follotto people profess to
bollovo that the Taft men, If Taft
cannot be nominated, will throw their
support to La Follotto.
Tho Taft people are preparing to
hold progressive voters by adopting
a progressive platform and nominat
ing a progressive for the vice presi
dency. Senator Albert Q. Cummins
of Iowa Is tohmost mentioned man
for this position.
If tho Taft peoplo control the con
vention it seems certain today that
they will adopt a platform favoring
practically everything the ivestern
progressives have boon advocating,
except tho recall of the judiciary,
whlh they will bitterly denounce.
