Frank H. Hitchcock Kept the White House in Constant Touch With the Happenings in the Committee in Chicago Today by Long Distance Telephone.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY WAS CONSIDERED TODAY George B. Cortelyou and Senator Dolliver Are Favored by The Taft Followers for the Position Hughes Does Not Want This f lace.

Chicago, June 12. The republican national committee today prepared to clear away the last of the 'IV.) delegation contests, which confronted them about a week ago and adjourn. When the session opened todav at the coliseum annex tNere were hut few more contests to hear and it whs predicted that wherever it is a Taft a4an t iTaft fight, the war secretary would as usual, get the delegates. The "allies" have given up hoping for a "look in" before this committee. Cortelyou Favored. While the committee was making Its last lap, there wa 5 a good deal of vice-presidential and platform business going on in Chicago. Although the Taft. boomers have kept their bands off the vice-presidential situation, it is known here that the administration favors Cortelyou or Senator Dolliver for the place. It has been intimated that the administration might be satisfied with Hughes. He however, quieted this talk in a hurry. Since he put the New York racing bill through lie feels a great deal better, as far as having a chance at leading the ticket is concerned. Traders in the republican party were somewhat worried today over the attitude assumed by the labor Voters of the United States President Oompers and his following have a definite demand and will make it today when they reach Chicago. They want an abso'ute anti-injunction plank in the platform. Tliere are those in the party that will fisht it. Laboring interests will fight until the last gasp to put a plank in and then if they fail it is claimed thev will be trouble. This is what worried those interested in the success of the party. President Gompers his his plan of war mapped om in this wise: If the republican convention refuses to adopt his anti-injunction for labor, in the platform, it will be toted out to Denver and an attempt will be made to nail it into the Democratic platform. If the party does adopt the antiinjunction platform, it will arouse the ire of the National Manufacturers association. President James H. Van Cleve, is here to see that the interests of his organization a'v not pinched. While Mr. Hitchcock was bu. y at the coliseum annex " todav. watching the committee put some more antiTaft delegates out of business. Mr. Vory's and Charles Taft were placed in constant communication with Secretary Taft and ths president. A private wire from the annex to the white bouse has been rigged un and expert and trusted operators have been engaged to operate it. W. C. T. U. Has Demand. The Women's Christian Temperance Union today presented its suggestions for planks in the new platform. The suggestions will be presented to Chairman Hopkins of the resolution committee bv Lillian M. X. Stevens, president and Susanna M. P. Fry, secretary. Taft Challenged. Secretary of War William H. Taft find his campaign managers were this afternoon challenged for a fight to the very finish for the noniiiu tion on the floor of the republican convention beginning Tuesday, by the six allies for the first office in the United States. Following the issuance of the defy the nal plan of the " allies' and the attempt by W. Murray Cr:.ne. national committeeman from the East to block it. came out. In addition to their attempt to get the nomination for themselves, the "allies" were prepared to carry the fight to the floor of the convention, tire the delegates out r.nd then spring the Roosevelt boom and Xcite the delegates to stampede. In B long conference today, this plan is said to have been discussed, but Senator Crane was against it. He declared there had been enough Roosevelt, and that if the "allies" find they Lave no show they should all climb into the band wagon. "We don't want any more RooseivclV' Crano is quoted ts saying. "If

MEN ARE SEATED

we are going to go for anybody, let it ( be Taft." The feeling of the conference- of "allies" was finally shown by the formal flefv thrown out to T.-ift that the "fl,i,w win fih, to ,t,e tin;. ', These !

stirring developments came a hot it the!as a

time the nation convention completed its work. Twenty-eight More. Twenty-eight more Taft delegates were seated today by the committee without much trouble. Frank H. Hitchcock, Tuffs campaign manager, was in constant attendance upon the committee. He kept those in the White House advised oy Long distance phone. Here is fhe defy which was issued by the "allt -s" today:

"At a conference held tins morning ; .nmmer. On the one hand the Antibetween the representatives of all the j Saloon league will work hard for the candidates for the presidency except ; ,)assape f a local option law with

Secretary Taft. it was unanimously rlo- ; cided to continue the fipcht all along ; the line before tjie convention shall have made its nomination. From reports received trom all delegates already on the ground an well r.s those on tlieir way to Chicago from all parts of the country, we are convinced that no nomination will be made on the first ballot." This statement was handed out by A. P. Humphreys. Hughes campaign manager. He was backed by General Stuart L. Woodruff, president of the Hughes league of New York, who declared Hughes at least is in the fight to stick. Deny Stampede Story. Most of the "allied" managers denied today that there is any agreement or understanding to stampede to Roosevelt. The finish of the Texas fight today was accomplished quickly. Cecil A. Lyon, the administration man who has Texas in the palm of his hand, led the Taft delegations. Thomas Paly represented the opposition with A. J. McCauley. The Taft delegates seated today were: Texas First district, W. H. Harris and George M. Guest. Second district K. G. Christian. P. H. Morris. Fifth district Charles W. Starling. A. IV Gardner. Kighth district J. M. Sloan. John Adkins. Eleventh district Charles A. Poyntone. Joe Wines. Twelfth district Samuel Pavidson and C. C. Rittleton. Virginia Delegates. Pelegates at large and other dis tricts were seated yesterday. Virginia i delegates at large for Taft were seat-! ed on default. C. R Slemp. S. G. Prof-' fit. Alvah H. Martin and Col S. Brown! Allen.

Sixth district R. I. j Roop. R. H. Angell. Eighth district J. G. Crupper, S. L. Prener. A motion ! to seat both Taft and anti-Taft delegates was lost. The Fifth and Seventh districts of Virginia were then taken by the committee. The committee will have disposed of the last Anti-Taft delegate by evening and the committee will then adjourn.

Stand for the Party Because It Took Up the League's Cry for County Local Option.

LEAGUE A FACTOR IN STATE POLITICS. It Is Aggressive and Will Do Much in the Political Arena During the Present Campaign. (Special Correspondence.) Indianapolis. Ind., June 12. The democratic state convention declared in Indiana for local option with the township or ward as the unit. The republicans, meeting a few days later, went the democrats one better on the temperance question, and culled for local option with the county as a unit. The, Anti-Saloon league, before either great party had met, urged the count y unit on both parties, and went about j educating the people to the point ! where they would demand that plan of j deciding the saloon question. The Anti-Saloon league must be considered political factor tn Indiana this The interests against, which it year. opposes its arguments, remonstrances, resolutions and petitions are preparing to make themselves felt at the polls this fall. In fact, the central fight next November, and every inch of the way from this time to November :(, election day, will be on the legislature. And this contest will continue next winter when the general assembly meets to carry out or to repudiate the pledges made in the political platforms so cheerfully put forth this the countv as a unit. On the other han(1 the iiqll0r interests will try to prevent new legislation. The politii nans will io wnat me people iorce them to do. League Aggressive. Because it is aggressive, because its leaders are able men, and because it has made itself a positive factor in the politics and legislation of the state the Anti-Saloon league commands its share of polite public attention this year as never before. No political observer can ignore the AntiSaloon league or refuse to see it when it looms on the horizon. At this time the league is looking after the matter of legislative nominees, and is trying to prevent the nomination, on both republican and democratic tickets, of "liberal" candidates for the legislature. The liquor interests have been busy in this line of work also, and have been trying to put their friends on legislative tickets wherever possible. It is; understood that, former Adjutant General John R. Ward is acting for the liquor interests in this legislative campaign. It is said that he has not been signally successful in making republican nominations to suit his associates. It is asserted that, out of eighteen state senatorial candidates and sixtyone candidates for representative now nominated, not more than seven or eight are to be counted as antagonistic to the county unit local option plank of the republican platform. It is said, further, that the democratic nominees for the legislature are standing squarely with their candidate for governor, on the democratic local option plank. Stands by Republicans. The Anti-Saloon league says that it is otnni partisan and calls attention always to the fact that it urged local option and the county as a unit before either party adopted that issue as a shibboleth for the campaign. The league stands with the republicans this year in Indiana, because the republicans took up the league's battle cry. Advanced Legislation. Advanced temperance legislation has been adopted in the last few years in fifteen states, including Indiana. In the fourteen states outside IndianaOhio. Illinois. Michigan, Kentucky, Virginia. Georgia. Alaoama. Mississippi. Tennessee. Wisconsin. Oklahoma, Colorado. Pelaware and Nebraska, the legislative asemblies were composed of 7NS republicans. 1.177 democrats, three prohibitionists, thirty-six fusionists, three independents and six social democrats. While the prohibitionists have had a large part in creating public sentiment, their part in the legislative end of the game has been small, as will be seen by the figures here given.. Three legislative votes in fourteen states for temperance laws is not a big showing for a party of two generations of consistent persistency. Just now the prohibitionists of Indiana and probably those in other states, are denouncing the Methodict church somewhat testily because the general conference of that church praised the Anti-Saloon league recently. They are charging also that Governor J. Fran!; (Coatinued on Pas Stm.I

SIXTY-ONE YOUNG PEOPLE GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL Hundreds of Friends and Relatives Attend Commencement Exercises in School This Morning. WILLIAM LOWE BRYAN SPEAKER OF OCCASION. He Tells the Young People of The Questions Which Will Confront Them in the World They Are About to Enter. Sixty-one young men and young women, the graduating class of the Richmond high school, bid farewell to their alma mater this morning and then took their first step into the world to seize those opportunities Fate holds in stake for them. The graduating class this year is the biggest in the history of the local high school. The chapel was thronged with admiring friends and relatives of the graduates. The commencement program was an excellent one, the feature of which was the address delivered by Indiana's most prominent educator, Dr. W. L. Bryan, president of Indiana University. Pr. Bryan spoke of the practical side of education. He urged the graduates not to become "jacks-of-all-trades" but to find their task in life and to study it and work at it to the extent, of their ability. The reward for such efforts. Pr. Bryan assured them, was success. Pr. Bryan began his address with the statement that he had once heard an eminent bishop remark that savages and children were naturally lazy. He said that it was hard to teach a child to work. Savages, be said, worked, but their work was play. The child, Pr. Bryan stated, overflowed with energy and worked hard at its play, but that it r;uit when tired. This was as it should be, he said, as a child should remain a child. Play for children and the higher grade an-1 imals was good for them. The lower grade animals never play, Pr. Bryan stated. The mosquito, for instance, began to work as soon as he made his advent into the world. Pointing out the necessity of play for children and the higher animals Pr. Bryan stated that the tiger cub played at fighting. If the cub did not do so he would exist but a short time in the jungles after he became full grown. Dr. Bryan stated that in the case of the child it was essential to its education that it should play. Play, he said, taught children to prepare themselves for life when they became adults. Must Learn to Work. The speaker said that when children grow up it is then necessary for them to work. learn. They always remain children. An example of this class, he said, was the tramp. A tramp, he said, was a man with the habits of a boy, in regard to work. He is one living in the midst of a higher, complicated civilization who has shut the door of civiliizaton in his face. Common Mistake.

Case Against Grocer for Selling Uninspected Meats, Is Withdrawn From the Circuit Court. STUDY HAS A NEW

CARD UP HIS SLEEVE. Stated That at the Next Meeting of the City Council the City Ordinance Will Be Amended. The appealed case of the City cf Richmond vs. Clayton Hunt, charged with violating the ordinance relating to the slaughter of animals and the preparation of carcasses for hale and consumption. i!I not lie heard in the Wayne Circuit court. It wa-s scratched from the trial docket today. The ordinance will be amended at the meeting of council Monday night, if the calculations of the city attorney do not go a.stray. Mr. Hunt is the Main street grocer. The city council passed an ordinance forbidding the sale within the city of any part or portion of any cow, sheep or hog, unless inspected as provided for. It was required that every such animal, while being slaughtered within the city of Richmond, should lw inspected under the regulation and requirements as prescribed by the department of agriculture of th-t'nlted States. If unwholesome, all such carcasses are to be condemned. The ordinance also stipulates the requirements governing the construction of the place where the slaughtering is done. Only in this city was it possible for the slaughter of animals to fake place under the requirements of the ordinance and undergo the inspection and examination provided for. Consequently the ordinance meant fhe closing of the doors of the city against all meats prepared for consumption at Fountain City. Centervilie. Cambridge City or any of the tniait towns in the county where slaughter houses are operated. It meant, also, that the farmer could not. butcher his own hog: or bHf and bring the products to this city and offer them for sale unless they underwent government inspection. Law Unconstitutional. Mr. Hunt announced his belief fhe ordinance was unconstitutional and inserted advertisements in local newspapers to fhe effect he would continue to sell "fresh country meats." despite the ordinance. He carried out his threat and was charged with violating fhe ordinance. The case was heard in the city court before Judge Converse. The question hinged on that of constitutionality and it wag declared the city ordinance was a restriction on trade and impartial legislation. Judge Converse sustained the demurrers to the complaint. The city attorney took an appeal to the circuit i-ourt and it is this appeal that is dismissed now. Council is expected to revise the ordinance at its next meetins.
