" ped BY GILSON GARDNER (Special to The Star) 3 CHICAGO, IIL, June 11.—Roosevelt will be nom- inated no matter what the national republican com- mittee does in deciding contests. The Roosevelt managers claim they are now as- sured of enough delegates to put through their pro- gram even though the national committee puts through its steam roller program. _This was the information which came today from |the inner council of Roosevelt managers. : lowa’s 10 delegates, who are for Cummins, may swing in line on the first vote taken, which will be on the question of organization. It is believed also that assurances have been received that North Dakota will oppose its votes to the nomination of Elihu Root and |the “steam roller” program of the national committee. | Senator Kenyon of lowa was at the Roosevelt head- | quarters today and had a long private talk with Sena- tor Dixon, the Roosevelt manager.

THEIR TEETH SET The Roosevelt managers have got their teeth set jand say they will not be defrauded of their representa- |tion in the Chicago convention by “steam roller” or any other methods. They will fight from the drop of |the hat. If necessary Roosevelt will come to Chicago. | This will be determined as soon as the “steam roller” ass have got che ge with their job. | aft managers admit privately that Taft is de- feated. They hope, however, to hold together their fol- | lowing long enough to make terms. Dave Mulvane of | Kansas tells the truth when he says that the Taft people | are now fighting to hold possession of the party Senator Murray Crane has stated frequently within the last three days that he no longer hopes to ROOSEVELT PROGRAM see Taft nominated.
