Colonel Roosevelt stlnglnelv told his
opinion of the last of th* < alifornia
and Arizona contests for delegates in
the committee yesterdav He said in
part
"I call special attention to the fact

Arizona are excluded by tlie national
committee be* a use thev represent the
people of Arizona, and the six Taft
delegates are admitted because thev do
not
"Tn California the progressives ronld

Ail parties and all factions acquiesced
In the law. and the anppnrters of .three

! ,tnade a campaign throughout the state.
If* Taft sent a special letter to t'ali
flnrnia. which showed his entire ac
egilesrence in the law. There were no
candidates in the districts at all. and
until after the primary was held there
was not a suggestion made about the
diatnict delegates.
"After the primarv every decent man
in California acquiesced, but a lieuten
ant of Mr. Patrick Calhoun, the man
whom Mr. Heney indicted, has made
the- contest, and the national commit
tee has actually seated two Taft-Cal
hottn delegates from f’aJlfomia. Gov
ernor Johnson has rightly said that it
is an insult to the state of California to
listen to Calhoun's representative in
sue.h a case as this, and he refused to
appear before the national committe.e,
saying that he would not try the title
of stolon property before the thief who
stole it.
Do Not Represent the Party.
“Os these 37 national committeemen
who thus robbed the immense majority
Os the . Republicans of California of
their rights four represent Ala'ka.
Hawaii, the Philippine Islands and
Porto Rico, who don't vote for the
president at all. Twelve represent
Democratic states, none of which voted
for Mr. Taft at the last election. Then
there come fourteen who represent the
Republican states, every one of which
has repudiated Mr. Taft at |he pri
maries this spring, with the exception
of Massachusetts, which, however, re
pudiated Mr. Crane (committeeman).
This makes a total of 30 out of the 37
Taft members of the national commit
tee. There remain but seven men from
Republican states, and of the seven
states, in six no primaries were held
this spring and the Republican voters
had no chance to express their wishes.
"It is they who are now irregnlar It
is they who are now profoundly dis
loyal. both to the Republican party and
the causa of good citizenship They
are bolting from the Republican party
at thia moment.
"I do not for one moment believe
that the convention will ratify this ac
tion by the national committee, for to
do so would be to betray the cause of
the people, to be false to the funda
mental principles of good citizenship
and of American democracy, and to
wreck the Republican party."

FACTS PROVE ABSURD
CLAIMS MADE* TO 122
DELEGATES BY WILSON
XX ISHINUToy, .lune 13. Their pa
tienc exhausted by statements issued
from the Wilson headquarters in which
a lend in delegates is claimed over
Speaker Clark, the Clark managers
have made a close analy sis of the Wil
son figure- The paper fetal of the
N»w Jersey 'candidate Is reduced to 122
votes, leaving him with an utmost
strength of 214 votes in the Baltimore
convention
The last figures Isned by the Wilson
management claimed for him a total
of 244 votes In the. Baltimore conven
tion.
The la-t figures Issued try the Wil
son management claimed for him a to
tal of 366 delegate and conceded 349
delegates to Clark.
As a matter of fact Clark has a
sure total of 490 delegates, as against
244 at the very utmost for Wilson.
Following is the Clark analysis of
the Wilson figures, state by state:
"The table gives him 76 in Pennsyl
vanla. when In fact he is certain of
only 40. which is well known to all
who are familiar w-lth the Pennsylva
nia situation.
"Wisconsin had preferential prima
ries. Speaker Clark carried four dis
tricts, which certainly gives him 3.
Clark headquarters has positive infor
mation Insuring the speaker nine votes
st least from Wisconsin
"The Wilson table claims all the Wis
consin delegation of 24.
Has No Votes in Ohio.
"The table gives Wilson 19 in Ohio.
The state convention lias instructed
ths Ohio delegation to vote as a unit
for Governor Harmon, so that those 19
votes should not be counted for Wil
son.
"There are eight Wilson men. or mon
with loaning toward Wilson, In ths
Michigan delegation, but It Is by no
means certain that -they will vote for
Wilson, as they are unlnstriicted. The
Wilson table claims 15 In Michigan
"There are but seven men In the
Tennessee delegation who are not In
favor of Speaker Clark Bight of the
delegates are instructed for Clark and
nine more pledged. The Wilson table,
gives Wilson twelve In Tennessee. Gov
ernor Wilson is not certain of receiv
ing more than three or five votes in the
Tennessee delegation.
"The Wilson table counts fifteen
from Virginia, where, In fact, there are
but five men on the Virginia delegation
who are friendly to the Wilson candida
cy; but as the delegation is uninatruct
ed, the action of this delegation Is in
doubt.
"In the Txnilsiana delegation there
are 13 Clark men out of 20. The re
mainder are divided between Wilson
and Underwood. The Wilson tabic
claims ten from Ixmislana
raise Claims in Maine.
"The Wilson table claims eight from
Maine. Three of the members of the
Maine delegation have a leaning to
ward Governor Wilson. Bui as the del
egation is uninstructed, its action Is in
doubt.
"The Wilson table counts New Hamp
shire. A preference vote was taken in
the New* Hampshire state convention,
in which Speaker Clark received the

unanimous indorsement of the conven
tion, and. members of the delegation ad.
dressed the convention, stating that
they would be bound by the vote taken
in the convention, and pledged them
selves t*i vote for < lark
"Tile Delaware delegation, counted
for Wilson, is composed of three Clark
men. one Wilson man. and two unde
cided, if four members of the dele
gation were to vote for Clark, under
the unit rule, the entire six votes would
be *a. t for Clark on the first ballot.
"The Wilson figures count Utah with
six which is without good reason. The,
Utah delegates will undoubtedly fall in
line with the rest of the West for
Clark a* their delegation is the only
uiiin.strui ted delegation west of th :
Missouri river.
"In Portfi Rl< o the latest informa
tion is that the regular delegation.)
backed by Conimltteaman D. H. Field,l
Is for I'lark. This delegation is con
tvsteri by 1 lie so-called Native Porto)
Rican Democracy. which Instructed
those delegates for Wilson. According
to a floeision of file court in Porto
Rico. It has been determined that the
Field organization Is the regular party)
in Porto Rico.
A Claim That Is t_auahable.
"The claim of two for Wilson in 1111
nols and one in Arizona Is laughable.
Clark carried Illinois by 140.finn ma
jority. and lie carried practically every)
voting precinct in Arizona In preferen
tial primaries ami hail a majority of
about ten to one over Wilson in th*)
state. There | s no ground for the
claim of any delegates in either state
for any* candidate except Clark.
“The Wilson table counts two In
West Virginia for Governor Harmon.
Ignoring the action of the West Vlr-I
gins state convention, which in
structed its delegates In the entire
stat* to vote for Clark and to vote on I
all questions as a unit.
"The Wilson table, by some feat of
mathematical legerdemain. Ignores the I
result of th* Massachusetts primaries. |
and takes the 36 votes of that stale
away from- Clark. Governor Foss is
not a candidate and has repeatedly)
stated that he Is not, according to our
information, and the 36 votes of Massa
chusetts will be cast, for Clark, who |
earned the preferential primaries.
"Speaker Clark received more votes
In each congressional district and In
the state at large than any delegate
who had printed over his name a pledge
for any other candidate. These votes
Instructed delegates to vote for Speaker
Clark.
This Is the Real Standing.
"The following «hows In a compara
tive way the Wilson table and the ac
tual strength of Wilson in the follow
ing states:

Pennsylvania 76 40

Total 208 86 |
Discrepancy, 122.
Subtracting this discrepancy from
the Wilson claimed total of 366 leaves
his utmost strength 244 votes, as
against a certain 490 and a possible 510
for Speaker Clark to date.
