HO SOLUTION OF VICE PRESI
DENTIAL PROBLEM.
CUMMINS DROUGHT INTO RACE
polllver Still Center of the Complica
tion Nebraska Delegation Decides
to Present 8heldon's Name lo Con
ventlon.
Chicago, Juno 1C Tho vlco prcal
dcntlnl situation has continued tc
malnta'n its puzzling position.
Senator Dollivor Is still tho center
of tho complication and It is generally
admitted "that thero will bo no solution
until ho is olthor nominated' or en
tirely eliminated from tho cquntlon.
In tho early hours of tho morning It
looked ns if tho senator waB out of
tho race, but when, soon afterward,
tho note camo from Washington that
thero had been a declaration from tho
Whlto HOU80 thnt tho candldato for

and tho senator's friends wore willing
to say that his nomination was as-

NEW YORK.
eured. Tho Washington nows was ap
parently without effect on tho Iowa
friends of Senator Dolllver, who do
not want him to accept n place on tho
ticket nnd they refused to attach much
Blgniflcnnco to the Washington an
nouncement. Tho Dolllver boomers
gave Just as llttlo heed to a letter of j
their favorlto, in which ho asked tho
delegation to withdraw his namo if
presented.
All told', thoreforo, the developments
in tho Dollivor candidacy wore not
BatiBfactory and it was generally con
ceded that Senator Long, who is still
the champion of tho Iowa senator, had
spoken correctly when ho expressed
tho opinion that time would bo neces
sary to solve tho Dolllver problem.
The announcement that tho presi
dent would ask that Governor Cum
mins bo nominated If Senator Dollivor
should not bo, aroused Interest, but
tho membors of tho Alllson-Dolllver
faction would not for a moment con
sider this contingency. If Senator
Dolllver should bo eliminated, tho con
test, ns now presented, would Ho be
tween Vlco President Fairbanks and
Representative Sherman of Now York,
nnd both received much encourage
ment during tho day. It was Btated on
behalf pf Mr. Fairbanks that if nomi
nated he would not accept.
Latest Phase of Iowa Situation.
Tho latest phaso of tho Iowa situa
tion is that thero is danger that some
c" Governor Cummins' following may
t.jw only a lukewarm Interest in their
state campaign in tho election of D. F.
Carroll for governor and other Re
publican candidates for state offices if
opponents of Cummins continue to bar
tho way to Senator Dolllvor'a nomina
tion for vice president. The ticket,
headed by Carroll, was named at state
primaries, at which Senator Allison
defeated Governor Cummins for a seat
In tho senate, and the state ticket is
not rcgurdod as friendly to Cummins.
While Governor Cummins and his
friends would be expected to support
the cholco of the Republicans of tho
state ns expressed at the primaries, it is
thought there might bo serious defec
tion in tho Republican ranks If such
a direct slap at Cummins as that pro
posed by tho Iowa delegation Is given.
In lact, membors of the Iowa delega
tion received from Iowa some sugges
tions which were construed as thinly
veiled hints that trouble may be ex
pected unless there Is a change of
program on the part of the delegation.
A representative of Mr. Carroll, who
expects to bo nominated for governor
to succed Cummins, telephoned to for
raor Representative George D. Per
kins, who heads the Iowa delegation
at large, and urged him to abandon
opposition to Senator Dolllver's nomi
nation and recommending thnt Iowa
place the senator In nomination If
thero appeared to be a geueral de
mand that his name go on the national
ticket.
Nebraska Is for Sheldon.
The Nebraska caucus adopted a res
olution Indorsing the candidacy of
Governor George L. Sheldon for vice
president, and unless there is a com
bination In the selection of the candi
date, his name will be presented to the
convention by Senator Norrls Brown.
The decision to place Sheldon in tho
running was reached after a couple of
hours of dlscusiilon. Senator Burkett
proposed Sheldon's name and spoke at
length upon bis quallflc-Htlons and rea
sons for his randtdary Governor Shel
don himself expressed his belief that
bis name should not be brought for
ward unt'J It was known that Secre-
- 'MM
mB&5?z&iWrAA
ury 'Taft had settled upon no deflnlto
choice It was finally voted unani
mously to put ShcVlon In nomination.
Victor Rosowntor, who was elected
national committeeman from Nebras
ka, said that Nebraska oxpoctcd out
side aid for Sholdon. Ho believed
that Kansas, Iowa' South Dakota and
several other wostcrn states would
voto for Nebraska's candidate.

TO SPRING ROOSEVELT'S NAME
Delegate Phlllpps of Pennsylvania
Counting on Stampede.
Chicago, Juno 1C Tho promoters of
tho "Roosovelt boom movement" now
claim that they have secured tho ser
vices of a delegate from a stato other
than Alabama that will e reached
oarly in the roll call to present tho
president's namo to tho convention.
Former Representative Thomas W.
Phlllpps of Nowcastle, Pa., declared
that Mr. Roosevelt's namo unquestion
ably will bo sprung in tho convention,
but ho decllnod to glvo tho delegate's
namo or the stato he represents.
Tho Roosovelt boomers ore count
ing on n stampede of Taft dolegates to
tho president If they can got tho lat
ter's namo boforo the convention in a
forceful manner. Tho opinion wns ex
pressed by Mr. Phlllpps Uiat the boom
which ho Is engiuoering for Roosevolt
is growing.
Tho West Virginia delegation held
Its caucus. No discussion was had' of
the alleged sentiment for Roosevelt,
which exlBts in tho delogatlon, but
two members of the delegation who
claim they will remain loyal to their
Instructions for Taft, declare that tho
Taft men are In thd minority and that
tho defection would bo great If a
stampede were started.
The hotbed of tho Taft defection
Is at the Lexington hotel, where tho
West Virginia delegation is quartered.
A meeting was held there under the
leadership of Mr. Phlllpps, but it was
attended by only a few dolegates and
a lnrgo number who have no voto in
tho convention.

LATTER TWO ARE IN DISPUTE
Speaker Cannon Objects to Exemption
of Labor Organizations from Opera

ification of Document
Chicago, Juno 16. Speaker Cannon
romalned in Chicago all day, and al
though keeping away from the noisy
centers of convention enthusiasm, he
took a most active part in the confer
encos on tho platform. His unexpect
ed advent hero for tho express pur
poso of having a voice in tho docu
ment which may shapo future legisla
tion, has led to renewod consideration
of some of the details of tho planks,
notably thoso on injunction and on
trusts. The speaker waB closotod with
Senator Hopkins, prospective chair
man of tho platform committee, for
over an hour, and then Mr. Hopkins
wns closeted with Wado Ellis, custo-"
dian of the platform, and Senator

copies have been entrusted. Mr. Can
non's frlonds believe tho injunction
SPEAKER CANNON.
and trust planks will bo modified, If
not eliminated, but tho custodian of
tho draft has given no evidence of
making any notable changes. The
featuro of the trust plank which Is
said to have attracted the speaker's
solicitude is one in which inferential
ly it would exempt certain organiza
tions, including labor and farming or
ganizations, from tho operations of the
law, although such exemptions in a
general law have said to be pro
nounced unconstitutional by tho su
preme court of Illinois some fifteen
years ago.
Text of Railroad Plank.
Tho exact text of the plank pre
pared' by Wade Ellis and approved by
Presldont Roosovelt and Secretary
Taft relating to railroads is as fol
lows: "Wo approve the enactment of a
railroad rate law and a vigorous en
forcement of tho present administra
tion of the statutes against rebates
and discrimination, as a result of
which tho advantages formerly pos
sessed by tho largo over tho small
shipper have substantially disap
peared. In this connection we com
mend tho appropriation of ?350,00O by
tho present congress in order to ena
ble tho interstate commerce commis
sion to thoroughly investigate and give
publicity to the condition of Interstate
roads. We believe, however, that the
Interstate commerce law should bo
further amended so as to give rall
roaa's tho right to mako and publlsn
traffic agreements, subject to tho ap
proval of tho commission, nut main
taining nlways tho principle of com
petition botween naturally competing
lines and avoiding the common control
of such lines by any means whatso
ever, and we specially favor the en
actment of such legislation as will pro
vide for federal restriction against
tho lssuo of stocks and bonds by In
terstate carriers."
Tariff and Antl-lnjunctlon Planks,
Moro or less serious Inaccuracy has
characterized the reputed textual pub
lications of the plank relating to the
tariff. The exact text of that plank,
as well as of the plank concerning
antl-lnjunctlon legislation, follows:
"The Republican party declares un
equivocally for a rovlslon of tho tariff
bv a special session of congress Im
mediately following the Inauguration
of the next president and commends
tho Bteps already taken to this end In
the work assigned to tho appropriate
committees of the two houses, which
aro now Investigating the operation
and eltect of existing schedules. In
all tariff legislation, the true princi
ple of protection Is best maintained
by tho imposition of such duties as
will equal tie difference between tho
cost of production at home nnd
abroad, together with a profit to Amer
ican industries, and the benefits that
follow are best secured by the estab
lishment of maximum and minimum
rates, which shall be applied automat
ically to. tho trade of other countries
In accordance with their treatment of
our trade. The minimum should rep
resent tho normal measure of protec
tion required' for the benefit of our
own industries. The aim and purpose
of tho Republican policy Is not only
to preserve, without excessive duties,
that security against foreign compe
tition to which American manufact
urers, farmers and producers are en
titled, but also to maintain the high
standard of living of the wage earners
of this country, wtio aro tho most di
rect beneficiaries of tho protective
system. Between tho United States
and the Philippines wo believo In a
free Interchange of products, with
such limitations as to sugar and to
bacco aa will avoid injury to domestic
Interests. Wo dedaro for such an
amendment of tho statutes of proced
ure in the federal courts with respect
to tho use of tho writ of injunction as
will prevent tho summary issue of
such orders without proper considera
tion and, on tho other hand, will pre
serve undiminished tho power of
tho courts to enforce their process
to tho ond that Justice may ho douo
at all times and to all parties."
Trust plank.
Tho trust plank is as follows:
"Tho Republican party passed the
Sherman anti-trust law over Demo
cratic dereliction. It has been a
wholesome Instrument for good in tho
hands of a wlso and fearless adminis
tration. But experience has shown
that Us effectiveness can bo strength
ened and Its real objects better at
tained by such amendments as will
give to the federal government great
er supervision and control over, and
securo greater publicity In the man
agement of thnt class of Interstate
corporations having power to effect
monopolies and at tho same tlmo will
not interfere with tho existence of as
sociation among business men and
farmers and wago earners so long as
their conduct or operation results in
a positive benefit to tho publlCi"
The currency plank contains this
language:
"The Republican party approves tho
Aldrlch-Vreeland currency bill, but
only as an eniergoncy measure. Wo
declare for a thorough and new sys
tem of currency laws that will be in
accord with the need of the times and
which will bo moie adaptable to tho
demands of business and moro elastic
in its character as a circulating me
dium." HULL-PROUTY CONTEST A TIE
Ultimate Decision Will Have to Be
Made In the Courts.
Des Moines, Juno 16. Tho Hull
Prouty congressional contest in the
Seventh Iowa district still hangs In
tho balance, with the prospects that
the ultimate decision will have to bo
made In the courts. As a result of
tho recount by the board of county
supervisors of the ballots cast in the
recent primary election, tho voto
stands at a tie for the two candidates.
The returns from all the uncontested
precincts of Polk county have been
canvassed with no show of change.
A sensation was sprung when the
supervisors of Dallas county were re
strained from proceeding with tho
count of the ballots in that county.
This action throws the battle into the
courts. Tho injunction was issued at
tho instance of J. W. Russell, a Hull
man, who alleges that the supervisors
lacked Jurisdiction, and further
charged that previous handling of tho
ballots left doubt In his mind whether
all the ballots remained Intact.
