-CHICAGO. Jane 15. The Taft people
welcomed Colonel Roosevett her today
With a statement on the -part of Cam-
paign Director McKlnlw -declaring that
' Booeevelt's pilgrimage On Chicago repre-
sented "the last big bltAf of a defeated
iiifcoionel Roosevelt helped hli cause
If coming to Chicago?
t To this question ther-i jrcre many an-
'anrers. The Roosevelt tierent admit-
ted never a doubt that tt has made his
. nomination a certaint f Nobody could
' honestly question the a -cession of enthu-
siasm In his following which marked his
arrival. But the Taft leaders profess to
believe that he ha eom too soon that
twe day which remain before the con-
ventlon begins the attaosiphere will cool
' and the situation relax info one of plain
politics in which party discipline and In-
exorable mat hematics will resume thelr
-wasted sway.
;V'' I the Vote that. Count
"Enthtistosm is ail HgrsL" said on of
; the Taft leaders veteran f many heated
eonflicts "but never forgt that a dele-
gate Is a delete and that it Is dele-
' suites that carry convictions and make
BOtntnatiotis."
It was apparent in the early hours
after Mr Roosevelt's nrrlval that his
leaders hnd nu very definite plans as to
their Jiext step; that th.y had been wait-
tag for him; (hat th.ty felt they had
blenty of time between now and the con-

' ImDartial observers however agreed
that despite all "the paper esrimaien (i

;Taft leaders knew In their hearts that
'to win they must acquire on theone 1 hand

rThetTaftmen affected .entire confidence
on this subject.

's more they took occasion to Issue a threat
that the breaking of instructions by Taft
i delegates from the South would provoke
' ' violations in other quarters.
Utile That Worke Two Way.
' "Instruction breaking h a two-edged
'word" said Mr. McKlnley In a state-
roent Issued early In'lhe evening "which
