Roosevelt delegates loom as Taft rivals rally
In Birmingham C D Alverson of Pell City said he will vote for Roosevelt reflecting constituents. Chicago hosts a mass meeting planned at the largest theater ahead of the Republican convention with speakers Ben Lindsey and Francia Heney and possibly Governors Johnson and Stubbs. The race sees a gum shoe campaign for uninstructed delegates to tilt the balance, with a Roosevelt Committee of 100 led by McCormick to marshal delegates. Cummins and La Follette camps push for demonstrations, including a 1000-strong Iowa-Wisconsin bloc. William Barnes Jr dismissed any compromise as pure roesevelt ploy, pledging no deal.
