"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."

"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!

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." protected 1 'onimittecman Frank P- Kel logg. "I don't understand such to. be the easy," Chairman Rosewater ruled’ tliaf no questions should be asked except by consent of the speaking counsel.

LIEBERMAN’S The House of Guaranteed Baggage 92 Whitehall 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 SUITS Made to order by the Scotch Woolen Mills FIT And the price for any Suit to order is only union S Ifh MfIOE JHjF $25 to S3O FABRICS Original sls Tailors Our only store in Atlanta 107 Peachtree Street AGENTS WANTED For full information re garding exclusive agencies for fall and winter lines now being prepared, address SCOTCH WOOLEN MILLS, 3.58-366 W.
