Tift’s friends being in s majority on the National Republican Execu tive Committee have things their own way, and what they say goes. The committee has been in session in Chicago for several days arranging the contested delegations, which are mostly from the South. From near ly every' Southern State there is a Taft and an anti-Taft delegation. people much. They proceed to fix up things easy for Taft by putting the names of those delegates who are favorable to him on the list. The opposition is full of rage, but it rageth in vain. As the Charles ton Post says “all is Taft that comes into the hopper of the national com 7 mitte, or rather all is Taft that comes out of the mill. Evidently it is in tended that no chance shall be tak* en. The convention is to be most carefully constituted so that it will turn out no other result than a Taft nomination, and the national com mittee is on the job. Taft agents and exponents hold proxies for the Taft tics, as such, but is interested yi the seats on the committee, his em ployees swarm about the scene,, and steadily the grind goes on that is to convert the opposition into support. In vain do the “allies” shriek to heaven that they are undone by this high handed proceeding; that is what the Taft machine is for, made and guaranteed for just such undo ing work and its operators are quite accustomed and are entirely indif ferent te the shrieks of the victims D The order has gone out of the White House to nominate Taft and that will be done, in spite of the conse quences.

There will be no cloud of that sort this year to obscure the enmities of the Republicans, nor under the cover of which they may make truce, and the raw spots the convention is go ing to make on the party will not easily be healed.
