not pressed when A I, Vorv of Ohio,
another Taft man. broke In with ques
tions.
A question of the truth of the state
ments on both sides arose, when Sena
tor Borah said:
"This seems to be a question of ve
racity."
Ormsby McHarg arose to answer it,
but Stevenson, of Colorado. protested.
"I don’t want any more speeches.” he
said.
Lie Passed
To Heney.
"Don't you know ’ shouted Francis P.
Heney, as Rosewater beat splinters out
of his Ravel block, "that the gag rule
goes in Colorado?"
"I deny the truth of that statement."
shouted Committeeman Devine, of Col
orado "It is not true, and the state
ment is an insult to my state."
Attorney Joslyn asked Judge Gill if,
because of bad blood, the Oklahoma
contestants would be unable to meet in
harmony.
"No, sir," shouted Gill. "No matter
what the result here may he. when we
go hack home we will be just as good
friends as ever." He was roundly ap
plauded.
Saunders moved to seat the Taft
men. whereupon Senator Borah pre
sented a substitute motion to seat the
Roosevelt men. He asked for an aye
»nd nay vote, but the steam roller de
nied him the right. His substitute mo
tion was lost.
When the original motion was put
Heney arose and said: "Mr. Chair
man, the Roosevelt men protest against
grant Victor, of Montana, voting in
this ease, because he worked up tin
contest, and it would not be fair foi
him to vote here”
"Vote! Vote!" cried many of the com
mittee.
A viva voce vote resulted in the seat
ing of the two Taft men.

Committee in Panic
Says T. R. Fighter.
Roosevelt and Taft leaders held se
cret conferences today preceding the
sessiop of the Republican national
committee. There were reports of im
pending sensational developments, but.
the source of these had not been di
vulged up to the time the committee
resumed its labors at 9:20 o’clock.
The first contest considered was that
of the Third Oklahoma district. Orms
by McHai-g. the Roosevelt champion,
was a happy man when the committee
assembled. He said:
"The national committee adjourned
In a panic on Thursday. They met a
hard bump in tire Missouri cases and
it stopped .them. I have said all along
that they would not go through with
their program, and I say now that they
■lack physical and moral courage to do
it. There are no more compromises in
sight. We .will fight every one of our
eAsos to tlie end.”’
A. A-. Oavid-son-presented .the Roose
velt side of the controversy in the
Third Oklahoma. He pointed out that
the delegates lie represented should be
seated on the following three proposi
tions:
First, because they were duly elected
by tlie convention regularly called for
that purpose.
Second, because they were elected
by ami received the votes of a large
majority of tlie duly elected and ac
credited delega tea.
Third, because the selection of the
place of holding the convention was
without proper- authority and contrary
to the official public announcement and
was in pursuance of a corrupt scheme
to defraud a majority of the delegates.
Gag Rule By
Taft Counsel.
Tlie Taft advocates made a general
denial of fraudulent tactics in the Third
Oklahoma district, and asserted that
the Roosevelt men bolted after being
legally defeated when they upheld the
chairman whom the Taft men had
voted to depose.
They declared tlie Roosevelt "rump"
convention was illegal, tlie delegates
being without credentials and having
no power to act.
A gag rule was applied by tlie Taft
men when Judge Joseph A. Gill, who
presented the Taft side. wa» asked a
number of questions. Senator- t'harles
Dick protested.
"I must insist upon the rule here,"
lie said, "that no questions lie asked
until counsel finishes hi's argument, be
cause be has but fifteen minutes."
"I never beard of any such rule."

Mr. and Mrs. Victor Rosewater
ranks of the Taft followers, and today
there was renewed talk of a compro
mise candidate. Among the politi
cians on the ground t-he opinion was
apparently growing that-Senator Cum
mins, of lowa, would be a goqd man
upon whom to unite. Os course, tlie
Taft campaign managers "stood pat"
today and reiterated their belief that
the president would be nominated, but
among tlie rank and file the feeling
seemed to be "We can't pull Taft
through, but we shall beat Roosevelt.”
The action taken by the national
committee in the Missouri contests
yesterday was tlie first indication of a
row in the president's camp.. Tn con
nection with this there was open criti
cism of Secretary <sf Commerce and
Labor 'Nagel, of Missouri. The most
ardent Taft meh declared that the sec
retary had deserted the president at a
crit-ieal juncture, having left Chicago
just Before the Missouri eases were to
comb up.
They assert that had Nagel remained
loyal, and ,-fought .for his-...chief. they
would, have been able .to avert the
"Missouri compromise" that gave yes
terday's contestants frAm that state to
Roosevelt. ’ ■
Tliaf others will desert the president
at critical junctures is the fear openly
expressed, and for that reason the more
timorous are casting their eyes about
for a dark horse. The majority fear
that the moment Taft is' abandoned
the delegates will flock to Roosevelt,
but wires are being laid to prevent
this.
Senator Kenyon, the Cummins man
ager, was the busiest man in Chicago
today. He would not discuss the pos
sibility of his fellow lowan being
chosen, but was busy impressing the
various leaders with the good points
of his candidate.
Missouri “Monkeywrench"
In Taft Steam Roller.
The Roosevelt forces were jubilant
today. They declared that a monkey
wrench in the form of the Missouri
contest had been thrown into the steam
roller and that its mechanism had been
badly damaged. Dispatches from New
York that Colonel Roosevelt would soon
start for Chicago caused wild rejoic
ing. .The Roosevelt mass meeting to
be Heid Monday .night will be one of
the most spectacular that has ever
marked a convention According io
well defined rumors current today,
Roosevelt will be the chief speaker‘at
