6 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.’’ CHILDERS GOES FREE AT THIRD TRIAL FOR DEATH OF HIS WIFE AMERICJUR.

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 7 -'I n n n>F The End of the School Year « Ts apt to he a drag on many children, unless the mother is careful to supply the kind of food to properly nourish their fast growing bodies and rapidly developing brains.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, JUNE 13. 1912. ' 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.
