MID UPROAR CALIFORNIA IS STEAM ROLLED Taft Awarded Only Contest in State T. R. Carried by 77,000. OYSTER BAY. N. Y., June 12. Theodore Roosevelt today came out for woman’s suff r age and declared he would incorporate a plank to that effect in the platform which he intends to present to the Republican national convention in Chicago. The ex-presi dent first made his announcement through Judge Ben Lindsay, of Den ver, after a two-hour conference, and later personally confirmed it to the newspaper men. 'CHICAGO, June 12.—Running re morselessly over the Roosevelt con testants, the Republican national com mittee today sent its steam roller into California. and Arizona. The Taft men from the Fourth dis trict of California were seated after a fight so bitter that the loud-voiced ar guments of the attorneys could be heard outside the committee room. Francis J. Heney, -fighting prosecu tor” of the graft cases, argued the contest before the committee after Governor Hiram Johnson, who came ro Chicago today, refused to appear be fore the committee, saying he would not consent to “a trial of the titlb to stolen property by the thief." Governor Johnson's statement, which was sent to Heney as the reason for the California executive’s refusal to appear, was read before the committee while Victor Rosewater, chairman, hammered vigorously with his gavel to try to quiet Heney and the other mem bers shouted protests at him. The Fourth California district con test. Involving a technicality, was characterized by Governor Johnson as theft. He declared it was an opening wedge and that the Taft men would steal the,entire state delegation “pro vided they needed the votes.” The Roosevelt ticket swept Cali fornia at the primaries by a vote of 70,000. in the Fourth district, a part of the city of San Francisco, which Heney charged wps boss ruled, the Taft supporters claimed to have elect ed their ticket, although the delegates were elected by an overwhelming ma jority in the state at large. The Taft men asserted that the delegates must be elected by thg district alone and that the vote in the state did not count. The Roosevelt faction asserted that the committee was endeavoring to over turn the will of the people and that the charge brought was a quibble. Johnson’s Statement ■ Brings Disorder. The vote was brought after the ■ stormiest argument that lias yet been I waged before the committee. The mo- I lion to seat the Taft men was made Iby Esterbrook, of New Hampshire. | Borah was on his feet in an instant I with a substitute motion to seat the j Roosevelt men There was a viva voee I vote and the motion was declared lost. Then the roll all on the original mo tion was ordered. By a vote of 37 to 116 the Taft men wore seated. The I steam roller had done its work. ! Johnson's statement which was read I before the committee and which threw ■ that body in an uproar follows: "I decline to appear before the com mittee. I will not submit to a trial of the title of stolen property before the thief who stole it. It would be an in sult to the people of California for me to appear before a committee that ob ; "equiously received Calhoun's Hogue ' and even listen to a contest by Pat Calhoun, designed to override the will I of a majority of 77,000 California Re publicans and that has prejudiced that contest. ‘(Signed) HIRAM W. JOHNSON." Pat Calhoun referred to by Johnson is the street car magnate of San Fran cisco, against whom graft charges were brought and who was prosecuted both by Heney and Johnson. Hogue is S. Fred Hogue, editor of The San Fran cisco Post, asserted by the Johnson crowd in California to be Calhoun’s representative In political affairs. The Taft men In tne Fourth district were elected by 31 votes, according to the protest filed by the Taft men. The Continued on Page Two.
