Daily Democrat) —Demand that a compromise presidential candidate be nominated by the republican national convention in the place of either President Taft or Colonel Roosevelt, leaps and bounds today. Representative Payne, co-author of the I tariff bill, and one of the Taft leaders I in the New York delegation said that he had heard a compromise talk. "It came to me indirectly,” he said, “but it came somewhat emphatic. I believe that if the bulk of the Roosevelt forces were to stay in the convention and not attempt a bolt there would b«> little question the nomination would go to a compromise candidate." Chicago, 111., June 20 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —In order that the credential committee might have time to complete the hearings and formulate a report to the convention, the Taft forces decided today to have the convention meet at noon ami then recess over until 4 p. m.
