Fairbanks in lead for vice president at convention
Chicago dispatch notes a rising sentiment for Charles W. Fairbanks among Republican delegates seeking the second ticket spot. Roosevelt and Taft factions show conflicting signals, with Southern delegates increasingly leaning toward Fairbanks if Washington fails to endorse another candidate.
Hopeful bid eyes second place in the presidential race
The piece details internal maneuvers as allies push for a nomination for second place while maintaining a front for the presidency. Varying factions dispute renomination plans and a rumored letter to Senator Hemenway is cited as unclear. The Fairbanks camp denies solid support and two-string strategy is attributed to Durbanks and his allies as they pursue an eleventh hour surge.
