COMMITTEE FOES
BOLTERS,SMS
ROOSEVELT
Steam Roller Men Denounced
for Methods—California’s
Case Called Theft.
OYSTER BAY. June 13.—Denounc
ing the Taft contingent in the national
committee which comoosea the steam
roller as the real “bolters" of the party.
Colonel Roosevelt stingingly told his
opinion of the last of the California
and Arizona contests for delegates in
the committee yesterday. He said tn |
part:
“I call special attention to the fact
that the six Roosevelt delegates from
Arizona are excluded by the national
cormnlttee because they represent the
people of Arizona, and the six Taft
delegates ar» admitted because they do
not.,
'Tn California the progressives could
have obtained all the delegates with
out resorting to a primary. The temp
tation was very strong to take the dele
fratea without risking a primary.
"The legislature of California de
creed that In California, as In Oregon,
flottth Dakota and North Dakota, the
dtdegales should all be elected at large.
AH parties and all factions acquiesced
In the law, and the supporters of three
Republican candidates for president
made a campaign throughout the state.
Mr. Taft sent a special letter to Cali
fornia. which showed hls entire ac
fltrlescenca in the law. There were no
1 candidates 1n the districts at all, and
flintll after the primary was held there
was not a suggestion made about the
district delegates.
"After the primary every decent man
In’California acquiesced, but a lieuten
ant of Mr. Patrick Calhoun, the man
vhcm Mr. Honey Indicted, has made
the contest, and the national commit
tee has actually seated two Taft-Cal
houn delegates from California. Gov
ernor Johnson has rightly said that It
1e en Insult to the state of California to
Httten to Calhoun's representative In
Such a case as this, and he refused to
appear before the national committee,
saying that he would not try the title
of stolen property before the thief who
stole It.
Do Not Represent the Party,
“Os these 37 national committeemen
who thus robbed the immense majority
of the Republicans of California of
their rights four represent Alaska.
Hawaii, the Philippine Islands and
Porto Rico, who don't vote for the
president at all. Twelve represent
Democratic states, none of which voted
or Mr. Taft at the last election. Then
there come fourteen who represent the
Republican states, every one of which
has repudiated Mr. Taft at the pri
maries this spring, with the exception
of Massachusetts, which, however, re
pudiated Mr. Cra.no (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, tn six no primaries were held
this spring and the Republican voters
had no chance to express their wishes.
"It Is they who are now irregular. It
la they who are now profoundly dis
loyal. both to the Republican party and
the cause of good citizenship They
are bolting from the Republican party
at this 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
ment*! principles of good citizenship
and of American democracy, and to
wrack the Republican party.’’

FACTS PROVE ABSURD
CLAIMS MADE TO 122
DELEGATES BY WILSON
WASHINGTON, June 13.—Their pa-,
tience exhausted by statements issued
from the Wilson headquarters in which
, a lead In delegates is claimed over
Speaker Clark, the Clark managers
have made a close analysis of the Wil
son figures Tite paper total of the
Neu Jersey candidate is reduced to 12?
votes, leaving him with an utmost
strength of 244 votes In the Baltimore
convention.
The last figures Issued by the Wilson
management claimed for him a total
of 244 votes In the Baltimore conven
tion.
The last figures issued by the Wil
son management claimed for him a to
tal of 366 delegates, 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 Ip certain of
only 40. which is well known to all
who are familiar with the Pennsylva
nia situation.
"Wisconsin hsd preferential prima
ries. Speaker Clark carried four dis
tricts, which certainly gives him 8.
Clark headquarters has positive Infor
mation Insuring the speaker nine votes
at 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
the Ohio delegation to vote as a unit
for Governor Hannon, so that these 19
votes should not be counted for Wil
son.
"There are eight Wilson men, or men
with leaning toward Wilson, 1n the
Michigan delegation, but it Is by no
means certain that they will vote for
Wilson, as they are unlnstructed. The
Wilson table claims 15 in Michigan
"There are but seven men in the
Tennessee delegation who are not. In
favor of Speaker Clark. Eight 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 unlnatruct
ed, the action of this delegation Is In
doubt.
‘Tn ths Doulsltuia delegation there
are 13 Clark men out of 20. The re
mainder are divided between Wilson
and Underwood. The Wilson table,
claims ten from Txntisiana.
raise Claims in Maine.
"Ths Wilson table claims eight from
Maine. Three of the members of the
Maine delegation have a loaning to
ward Governor Wilson. But. as the del
egation is nninstructed, 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 Ulark 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 vole taken
in the convention, and pledged them
selves to vote for Clark.
“The 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 ‘ast 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, as their delegation is the only
uninstructed delegation west of th
Missouri river.
“In Porto Rico the latest informs
tl‘Y> Is that the regular delegation,
backed by Committeeman D. II Field,
is for Clark. This delegation is con
tested by the so-called Native Porto
Rican Democracy, which instructed
these delegates for Wilson. According
to a. decision of the 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 Illi
nols and one in Arizona is laughable.
Clark carried Illinois by 149,000 ma
jority, and he carried practically every
voting precinct in Arizona In preferen
tial primaries and had a majority of
about ten to one over Wilson in the
state. There is 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 Vir
glna state convention, which In
structed Its delegates 1n the entire
state to vote for Clark and to vote on
al! questions as a unit.
"The Wilson table, by some feat of
mathematical legerdemain. Ignores the
result of the Massachusetts primaries,
and takes the 36 votes of that state
away from <*lark. 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
carried the preferential primaries.
"Speaker Clark received more votes
In each congressional district and In
the state at large tha.n 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.

tual strength of Wilson in the follow
