CHICAGO. June 5. Congressman Wil
liam E. McKinley and Senator Joseph M
iJixon, respectively directors of the Taft
ami lioosevelt forces signalized their ad
vent in the convention city .by issuing
statements containing diametrically op
posite "'certainties."
1 The Taft leader in a formal statement
said:
"President Taft will be the nominee of
lh convention with approximately 600
otes on the first ballot."
Senator Dixon in an equally positive
statement declared: ,
"The nomination of President Taft Is
physically and humanly impossible with
the delegates elected."
Congressman McKlnley added that the
personal presence of Colonel Roosevelt
in convention "would only make the
outcome more certain against him."
Senator Dlxton Insisted that the Roose
velt men "absolutely control the con
vention without taking the contested
delegates Into consideration.
Howell Will 11c Turned Down.
The attempt of It. B. Howell of Ne
braska to take Acting Chairman Victor
Rosewater's place on the national com
mittee Thursday is certain of defeat, ac
cording to leading members of the com
mittee. William L. Ward of New York,
who will be a leader In the Roosevelt
ranks, said he believed the committee
would quickly dispose of the case ad
versely to Mr. Howell's claim.
"The way the national committee is
constituted," he said, "the terms of its
members cannot begin until the end of
the national convention, when the new
committee is" formally recognized."
Victor Rosewater, acting chairman of
the national committee, discussed the
rules for contest hearings, In which slight
changes probably will be made, with
Ormsby McHarg, the Roosevelt contest
attorney, and, fprjtoer Senator Charles
Dick 'of Ohio, who will represent the
Taft claimant -
JMxmi'a Statement.
Senator Dixon's statement in part fol
lows: -
"Some vt the Taft managers in their
desperation have thrown out broad In
timations that a majority of the repub
lican national committee would by revo
lutionary methods and strong-arm. tac
tics attempts to reverse the plain verdict
of the republican voters. I bitterly re
sent these insinuations.
"We have no fear in resting our case
in the matter of contested delegates to
the committee's decision."
The talk of a bolt from the convention
by the Roosevelt forces Senator Dixon
designated as "Junk."
The senator pointed to the result of the
South Dakota primaries as evidence of
the triumph of Roosevelt and added:
"The Taft machine in Ohio refused to
submit to the popular verdict the ques
tion of the election of six delegates-at-large.
They boldly and insolently in de
fiance of the express wish of the repub
licans stole the six delegates-at-large."
Congressman McKinley in his statement
declared:
"The sober-minded thought not only of
the republican party but of the people
will be further respected at the polls in
November by the re-election of President
Taft for a second term.
"The campaign of bluff, bulldoze and
bluster which Mr. Roosevelt has con
ducted for the nomination Is drawing to
a close. '
"No terrorization or Intimidation on the
part of Mr. Roosevelt or his managers
can change the result. No compromise
is possible as between the candidates be
cause the fight Is already won by Presi
dent Taft."

state by 10,000 to 12,000.
Colonel Roosevelt said he still believed
it would be unnecessary for him to go

committee to decide the contests on their
merit.

Lines Are Drawn for Battle
First Session of Republican National Committee Will Be Held
This Afternoon Admission of Press First Question
Up Howell Brings Certificate.
BY VICTOR HOSEYVATKIl.
Editor of The Bee and Acting Chairman Republican Nations'
CHICAGO, June 5. (Special Telegram.)
No startling changes have taken place
in the political situation here except the
steady inflow of the gathering hosts pre
paratory to the great contest which is
being waged for control of the coming
republican national convention. Except
ing about ten, all the members of the
national committee are on the ground.
The fighting forces of the campaign
headquarters maintained by the opposing
candidates at Washington have been
transferred here in a body and are mar
shalled In battle array. The lines are
visibly being more tightly drawn anil
the political generals on both sides are
trying strenuously to gain every possible
advantage.
The call for the committee meeting,
which I issued a month ago, sets the hour
for convening at 2 o'clock tomorrow after
noon. The expectation is that this session
will be a preliminary one for organization
and adoption of rules, so that the first
contest case may be called early the next
day. Right here is where a clash is bound
to occur at the outset, a difference having
arisen as to how wide the doors should
be opened to the representatives of the
press. Some of the old-time members of
the committee are opposed to opening the
doors at all, but as it Is the expressed
wish of both President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt that all the contests be fully
aired and nothing be kept under cover.
the rules will be amended to admit the
great press associations as the publicity
avenues serving all the dally papers!

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 6. -Latest
