Mr. Haines gave out the following
comment, on behalf of the Taft forces;
"There has been talk, and some
newspaper publications today are re-
garding a compromise candidate for
president. This proposal is purely a
ruse on the part ot the Roosevelt
forces, who realize that they will be
defeated In the convention and are
i;ow endeavoring to break up the Taft
alignment by talking compromise.
"Mr. Roosevelt said, and In this I jj'v* 7.

didate will be me' That the Roose-
velt men themselves are talking com-
promise tonight is positive evidence
of the loss of their cause, and of their
hope of creating dissension in the
ranks of President Taft, through ap-
pealing to the very natural instinct of
the part of any Republican to avert a
sharp division of forces. Hut the pur-
I ose is perfectly clear to the delegate -,
here assembled.
