Rorah's name a-as cheered. Next Hadley spoke of Frank B. Kel logg. who also signed the statement. He was cheered when he suggested that he would pass over Io other names on the list. There were shouts of "Go on." When the name of Ward, of New Tork. was reached It brought forth cheers. "Ward," said Hadley, "does not certi. fy a list of delegates simply on the ground of the candidates they have agreed to support. "The different cases will be presented by representatives of the different states, but I will tell you how in Cali fornia, where the delegates were elect ed by 77.000 plurality, two delegates were turned out because in one district it could not be determined how many votes the Roosevelt men had. "No Judge Shall Sit In His Own Case.’ He referred briefly to Texas and other states. "Then will cotne the question of who shall vote on this motion. It is our contention th#t only those not involved in the contests should be allowed to vote on the motion " • Hadley then referred again to the precedents of the former conventions. He asserted that these precedents were against the contested delegates voting. In concluding, he said: "It is written in the lew of England that no man shall sit as a judge in his own case. We contend that no dele gate is entitled to vote whether he shall benefit in the frauds that it is alleged were perpetrated." The men who signed the report we >• William E. Borah, of Idaho: Frank B.

Monday, of Tennessee: Sidney Bie ber, of the District of Columbia: Cecil Lyon, of Texas: Thomas Thorson, of South Dakota; William 1.. Ward, of New York: James Kennedy of North Dakota, and C. E. Loose, of I tali. James Watson yielded ten minutes of Ills time to W T. Dovell. of Wash ington. He said: On the day of our state convention in Washington a presidential candi date charged that an attempt was made to steal the delegates from him. Let me tell you of the facts so you will sec how reckless that statement was." He gave a brief history of the Wash ington sttae convention, defending inc state delegation. "A minority of those in our conven tion went to another place in the city •nd held h mass meeting and elected the men who appealed and demanded seats here. "It may be possible we cm not hold out seats, but so long as we do It must be done under the rules. Understand, ne have no primary law in Washing ton. It is utterly false that Roosevelt ever carried the state in a primary Groans and Hisses for Washington Taft Man. "A man named Murphy for Roose velt packed one convention with 150 men who had no seats there and called that a primary. Every man who par ticipated in that primary was a vio lator of our law and because of that the Taft men did not vote. They cast but from 3,000 to 6,099 when there were over 100.000 votes. In the face o* that the gentleman at Oyster Bay de clared he eariied Seattle by 8 to t "Our committee passed upon ou contests and declared our men regular. Every time a delegation war. elected in our state for Mr. Taft they present ed a delegation for the purpose of con testing our men and now thev ask that this sort of a delegation vote on the temporary organization here.'’ Dovell tried to go oi , but g. >ans and hisses greeted him "Gentlemen of the contention, I conic here with my hand on my heart smi K tell you that what 1 have -aid is God’s truth." Again a great groan r-.H-'-g ln , Uulldiing drowned Dovell s \ i. e and h< stepped buck William B. Hackenbtick. a a. I, gate- J at-large, atarted Dovell's troubles when he insisted upon knowing how many votes President Roosevelt re. eived and how many of his men were named by the King county committee of Wash ington. Fred S. Lewis, another dele i gate on the floor, also shouted ques tions. It was the effort of these mtn which turned the crowd against Dovell ment. Henry .1. Allen, of Kansas, was git. twenty minutes of Governor Hadley s time. Alien began by quoting f- >m the speech of Chairman Root last night "We will keep the covenant of our fa thers ’ "That covenant is between the weak and the strong," he said.

The exact facts are that Roosevelt got 6.200 votes and Taft got f.oo. and that was about the proportion to which he was enti tled." “Are you going to abide by the de cision of tills convention?" demanded l’< rnandano Ha tford, of New Hamp shire. The convention broke into an up roar. "I will abide by the decision of this convention," bellowed Allen. "I will support the nominee of the convention, but only on one condition—that the nomination shall not be brought about by fraud." Former Senator James A. Hernen way. of Indiana, then spoke against the motion. ’ He's a contested delegate," shouted some one in the Maryland delegation. "I am not here for any delegate, whether Taft or Roosevelt," said Hem enway. "Under the rules of the national committee it makes up the temporary roll of the convention. The committee heard for two weeks the evidence In these contests. "There are fourteen members of the body who now come here and ask you to reverse the national committee with out hearing the evidence. "There are 39 members who do not t.ign this protest. 1 am not saying, gentlemen, that the men not re-elected on the committee were repudiated. Kellogg was not. and New was not. They did not want to go back. Who are these other men? I am not par ticularly proud of T. Dupont, of the power trust. He's no better than Har ty New, and 1 would not believe him any sooner than I would the other man. You can not hear the. evidence now. Following the rules of older, the evi dence has been beard and irguments heard. Pentose and Flynn s Names Bring Uproar. "Penrose above Flynn every time," shouted Hemenway at one point, with 1 the result that a great cheer arose and I rolled through the building. William ! Barnes, of New York, shook his head at Hemenway w hen he attacked Lyon. A delegate in the Pennsylvania seats 1 insisted upon questioning the speaker. Root advanced on the platform and shouted: "The delegates from Pennsylvania will suffer in their cause If they refuse to hear «> decent argument. We will have order in this convention or the people who are responsible w ill suffer for It in tin estimation of the Amer ican people." Frank Record, of New Jersey, then spoke in support of Governor Hadley’s motion. He said he had been assigned to "Ariz.oner" and "Indianer" eases, and he called them. He asserted tliey were documents of human interest. He declared the Ari zona convention resolved Itself Into two Separate bodies, resulting in two delegations being sent. He charged the Taft delegates with being the bolt ers. Record's talk was dull and there was a great deal of confusion. His voice did not carry far. Cries for order re sulted in a few bungs of the gavel. The speaker had trouble In being heard, but persisted. Indian.) Delegation Thrown Into Confusion. William E English, of ’ndianupolis. interrupted to ask; "Wasn't the decision of the com mittee unanimous .”' Het bel t Parsons, of New York, asked regarding affidavits that were tiled I with the national committee. Record cited some of the facts in the affidavits that were filed but not read by the committee. The Indiana delegation was throw n into confusion a moment later Hemenway rose to. ask a ques tion Record refused to answer.

Root was unable to get order, and John M. Harlan boomed out the an nouncement that ticket holders in the galleries would not be permitted to re turn again if they left their seats. "There will be a pause of five min utes in the hope that every one will make up his or her mind as to what tiie.;.' wish to do,” he said. The announcement of a five-minute pause resulted in gre ( at confusion, ail of those on the Main floor arising and walking about. Hundreds availed them selves of the opportunity to leave the hall during the pause, which ran over five minutes. During the recess the band played "Dixie," which, of course, aroused cheers and applause. At the end of ten minutes Chair man Root again called for order. He hanged his gavel continually anu the noise slowly died out. Record again attacked his subject with little (difficulty. because the noisy people had quieted. "I press home the charge that when a man is Indicated on a charge of fraud and crookedness, that man should not be permitted to sit in Judgment on that chaige,” shouted Record. "The conscience of the American people will revolt if we pack this hall and nominate a man under those cir cumstances, and the great Republican, party will he Injured thereby.” Protest Greets Thrust at Hadley. Thomas H. Devine, who sal in the national committee from Colorado, spoke against Governor Hadley's mo tion. He said: "I am surprised at Governor Had ley’s statements of his opinion of the 39 committeemen because when the Missouri case was up I met him and he asked 'What are you going to do?’ "I told him I was going to vote tor his delegation. He si id then he intend ed saying something nice. I waited for him to say it, but I am afraid it is one more of his Missouri gentlemen's agree ment.” A great row of protest went up from the crowd. Devine was frequently interrupted, but went on. "One hundred and seven counties down in Texas are prairie dog coun ties and have no Republicans, but Lyon fixed up a delegation anyway, and by his tactics has stifled 50,000 voti s at a time.” Questions hurled from all sides at Devine resulted in such disorder that Chairman Root- again cautioned tile crowd. "1 do not know whether you want to hear what is said on this serious ami Imporatant question, but I do know this. that. If the gentleman seated on the other side of this aisle does not cease his disorderly conduct, delegate or not. the sergeant-at-arms will re move him from the hall,” said Root. The remarks were addressed to Del egate W. H. Featherstone from Texas, who was talking to those around him and creating confusion. Featherstone was talking loudly with J. ( . Scott and H. M. Moore, delegates from his own state. | tn spite of Mr. Root's efforts, disor der continued. Devine again proceeded. He read from an affidavit' charging "manu factured” credentials throughout the state. "What did McGregor do?' cried a delegate. “That Is the way that Cecil |Aon did and was enabled to control party polities of Texas and run the 90 coun ties' and make himself national com mitteeman from that state." went on Devine Taft Texan Defends Lyon "The national committee, in hand ling these cases, did what honorable gentlemen should, and I want to say that those gentlemen who east their votes to seat these delegates did what they thought was right an" according to their consciences.” As. Devine left the platform there was a storm of cheers and groans. Cries of "Hadley. Hadley we«e hurled at the speaker as he backed away, his brow steaming C. C. Littleton, of Toxas, came in the unique capacity of a lust parti san to defend the Republicans of Tex as and Cecil Lyon from the ai tacks that I'.ad Jus: been made on both. It was 2:36 o’clock when lie got to the stand. He denied that the management of Ceci! Lyon had cut the Republican voi* ot Texas. "It was the .-late aw requiring the negroes to pay poll lax that cut the vote.” he said. ■| have worked with Cecil Lyon for fourteen year.-, and I have worked against him I speak In his defense through friendship for Cecil Lyon .’ “Whom are you here for?” called a delegate. "1 am not seeking here to change one vote one way or the other." re plied Littleton. • If I could I would make it for Mr. Taft. 1 am going to vote for him my self.” First Outburst For President. John D. McKay, of Michigan. next took the platform, speaking for the Taft faction. "I had hoped in the interest of fair play that they would leave the state of Michigan out." he said. He flatly stated that if any on.- swore the Taft delegates were not falrlcy elected, he would be guilty of perjury McKay is the man who Is supposed to have controlled the Wayne county i t \ > A- • "it dOWSNOIx T\ I OF convention, in this convention it was charged that the Taft men rode over the Roosevelt men. McKay asserted that the Wayne county convention was properly called and that the Roose velt rnen gathered In a corner and waved their arms and shouted for a few minutes and then adjourned, say ing they had elected delegates to the state convention. McKay tolfl them of the Bay City Convention - Militia, he said, had been called to put the Taft men out. A moment later, when McKay mentioned Taft, saying the president had car ried the state by a big plurality, for the first time since the convention be gan, there was a. genuine outburst in favor of the president. He was cheer ed roundly both by the delegates and the people in the gallery. The cheer ing lasted for two or three minutes. M. L. Calvin, of Kenutcky, spoke in opposition to the Hadley motion. "Charges are made against the Repub lican party of Kenutckv. and as men of Kentucky love thata state and hate the men who insult tfs. for what pur pose I do not know.” “Trying To Seat A Democrat Here.’’ "The strangest thing set out any where came in our case. Some of them did not claim to have held credentials, but still they claimed scats.” He declared that all the strength the Roosevelt party had in the state con vention made him several hundred votes short. The sentiment of Kentucky, he de clared, is for Taft. He spoke of the delegates at large which were not con tested. Governor Hadley called his at tention to this fact. "I know," he cried, "you did not have the temerity to start one there, and I want this convention to know the facts.” "No, no: be fair," cried several del egates. He then detailed the Eleventh Ken tucky delegation contest. Here the Roosevelt men controlled and they used that control to violate every known rule of the convention, he de clared. "One of the men they want to sub stitute in the place of Mr. Stall in our delegation is registered In his home as a Democrat, and yet they want you to seat him here —a Democrat.” Ousted Delegate Claims Seat. At this point a Mississippi delegate created a stir by trying to speak from his seal in the gallery and demanded the place from which the national com mittee ousted him. ■'Thieves,” he cried, "have stolen my seat." The chair ruled that be was out of order. The convention was thrown into temporary confusion. The Taft followers came to their feet with a prolonged session of cheering when James E. Watson, of Indiana, came at 3 o’clock to speak against the Roosevelt program. ' The delegates climbed on their chairs, waved papers and shouted applause for the speaker. He said that the question before the convention had been thoroughly placed before the delegates. The national committee had held sessions day after day and had received all of the evi dence and affidavits possible to get. The committee, he said, had only voted after the most patient hearing. "Did you think that you are suf ficiently informed upon the selection of these delegates to pass upon their eases?” he asked. Big Demonstration For Hadley Begins. At 3:12 m. a great demonstration began for Governor Hadley. He stood at the front of the platform while dele gates from states that had held prt marie-- shrieked and cheered When the demonstration had lasted nearly five minutes, Ohio. ‘lndiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, Wis consin, South Dakota and Kansas were taking part. The cheering was re doubled when the California delegation unfurled its big yellow Roosevelt ban ners. The delegates were standing on their cheers shouting and cheering and waiving hats, handkerchiefs, etc. The gallery took only a small part in the demonstration. The Missouri standard was plucked from its place and waved in the air. The demonstration started when Del egate James Watson, of Indiana, re ferred to the possible position Hadley would take In settling the contests at issue before the convention. The delegates called for Hadley. He came to the front of the platform. The Oklahoma standard followed that of California. At 3:20 the demon stration had been in progress seven minutes. The Ohio standard was plucked from its place and carried up and down the hall. The cheering broke out with renewed vigor. The New York delegates were wav ing their hands at the other delegates, but had at that time taken no part in the demonstration. Start Marching Around the Hall. The N-v Jerse,' standard was plucked from Its place and the delega tion began a march around the hall. They were marching to the Missouri section. North Carolina. Missouri and West Virginia standards joined New- Jersey. The Roosevelt delegates, led by R. R._ McCormick, of Chicago, were shouting: "Thou shalt not steal!" They were attempting to make a chorus of shout. Ex-Senator Chauncey-M. Depew said at 3:21: "It looks to me as though this were all over. This means Hadley." Minnesota. California. "Kansas and Nebraska, Soyth Dakota, Maine, Penn sylvania, Massachusetts and Missouri marched around the hail. The cry of the Roosevelt men changed to "Had ley! Hadle.y! Thou shalt not steal!” Minnesota delegates shouted: "Had ley! Hadley! We want Hadley!” The cheering was still going on at 3:22 p, m. Flynn, of Pennsylvania, said: “The demonstration means Feddv, not Hadley." Hadley, who had been standing at the front of the speakers’ platform, withdrew to the speaker’s table. Watson. Indiana, said to favor a compromise candidate, was talking with Hadley and laughing. The Missouri delegation marched by the speaker’s stand. "We are tor Hadley,” they shouted. The demonstration had then gone on for eleven minutes. The demonstration started when Watson said under cer tain conditions Hadley would favor submitting this -question to a creden tials committee. "How about it, Hadley?” cried the delegates. Hadley arose ot. a question of per sonal privilege. "Hoyv about it, Hadley?” the dele gates shouted. The Missouri governor advanced to the front of the platform and the dem onstration began. He got no chance to explain. The Illinois delegation at 3:26 began a counter -cry, shouting: "Teddy; Teddy; we want Teddy'” Everybody in Hall Standing on Chair. Enthusiasm began to die down slightly at 3:27. although almost every person in the house was standing on his chair. National Committeeman Ward, ot New York, declared the demonstration a prepared scheme to see how Hadley would go if Roosevelt is not strong enough to name himself for president. Roosevelt strength. Ward said, would be thrown to Hadley if Roosevelt could not win. Colonel Edwin Thayer, assistant sergeant-at-arms, advanced to the speaker’s table to talk to Hadley. The California bear returned to its place after a march around the hall. Some of the Californians shouted: "Teddy!” and some shouted “Hadley!” Len Small and William Cooke, Lori mer men. held the Illinois standard while the demonstration was in prog ress to prevent its being sung to Had ley. The demonstration at 3:30 had broken out with renewed vigor, but was gradually swinging to a Roosevelt demonstration. From all parts of-the house came the cry: "We want Teddy! We want Teddy!” It swung out rhyth mically. Taft men were replying: "You won't get him; you won’t get him.” Breaks Out Again In Full Force. At 3:35 the demonstration broke ou’ again in full force. AV. H. Coleman, of McKeesport. Pa., came to the front of the platform to lead the cheering. The delegates were again upon their feet yelling and cheering. Even on the speaker's platform most of the men were standing. “They were Roosevelt men in that march, and they were shouting foi Hadley," said Colonel New, of Indiana "It looks to me like the end of Teddy, the Terrible." A woman in the gallery was wav Inga picture of Roosevelt Gallery and delegates cheered madly. They shouted "Roosevelt!" and “Teddy!’’ The demonstration had then lasted 29 minutes. Timothy Woodruff, of New York said at 3:40. "I don t think this will elect a nomi nee.’ The woman in the gallery who dis played the Roosevelt picture was also wildly waving a < antornia standard. 1’ was the golden pole surmounted by the golden grizziy, wniiti has stood in the center of the space occupied by the Golden State delegates. The woman was tad. slender and beautiful. She was dressed in white and a big bunch of pink roses were In her belt. All the delegates standing crowded into the aisles. The woman was Mrs. W. A. Davis, 4231 Drexel boulevard. A number of states were still parad ing at 3:42 p. m. Pennsylvania and Ohio started on a new circuit of the hall. Chairman Root held the same view of / the situation as Committeeman Ward. He thought the demonstration was Intended to try out Roosevelt and Hadley sentiment. Some of the older members of the political old guard were talking “stampede." Mrs Davis came down from the gal lery, led a march around the hall and was raised to the stand .The Okla homa delegation escorted ’her to the stand. She was raised to the press stand seats. Tried Vainly To Clear Floor. Cheering delegates crowded around her. Persons from all parts of the hall crowded toward the platform, some of the visitors made their nay from the I ST heneV galleries. When the demonstration had lasted 34 minutes Sergeant-at- Arms Stones pushed forward, ap parently in an effort to clear the plat form. Newspaper men were fighting to keep the cro,wd off the tables where their telegraph instruments were lo cated. At 3:44 West Virginia and Nebraska were still circling about the hall. The sergeant-at-arms were endeav oring to clear the halt At 3:45 the speaker's gavel fell. It was a signal for renewed cheering. Colonel Thayer stood at the front of the platform cirecting his sergeant-at arms to clear the aisles. Many of the delegates returned to their seats. The cheering was dying down, but the hall was still in wild confusion. At 3:46 the cheering broke out again, led by Minnesota delegates. Mrs. DavD had returned to her seat in the gallery and she delegates were cheering her. At 3:49 the chering had practically ended. Threatened to Put Mrs, Davis Out. The hall was in such contusion that it was impossible to proceed. Ser geant-at-Arms Stone ordered the del egates to take their seats and the aisles were cleared. The real strength of the demonstra tion lasted 40 minutes. Governor Hadley appeared on the platform after the demonstration closed and the chering started again. It died quickly. In the meantime As sistant Chief Schuettler took Mrs, Davis to her seat and told her if she did not subside he would put her out of the building. Then the work of the convention was resumed. When Governor Hadley was recog nized by the chair after the demon stration. he said: "Mr. Watson yields to me to make a statement. When he said I was in favor of sending this to the commit tee on credentials I, thought the gen erality of that might cause a misun derstanding. “I told him Governor Deneen in tended to offer an amendment that this go to the committee on ereden tiajs and no member now in cohtest be permitted to vote or sit on the com mittee. “I advised Mr. Watson that I would favor Governor Deneen’s amendment and have it go to the committee on credentials in such a wav that no man could be a judge on his own case." "By mutual agreement there has been no misunderstanding, but the de bate is closed and I now move to lay the motion of Governor Hadley on the table," said Mr. Watson, who came im mediately to the stand. He amended his motion almost immediately by mov ing that Governor Hadley’s motion be referred to the committee on creden tials. Deneen Amends Watson Motion. Governor Deeneen, of Illinois, moved an amendment to the Watson motion in the form of a substitute that no member of the convention whose right to sit in was questioned should have a right to vote on the action of the committee or upon its report when submitted. Governor McGovern seconded the motion of Governor- Deneen. Chairman Root, responding to a de mand from New York, directed Secre tary Gleason to read the Deneen mo tion 'hrough the megaphone. Gleaso’i said: “Mr. Watson had moved that the mo tion of Governor Hadley be referred to the committee on credentials when appointed. Governor Deneen has mov ed to amend that motion by providing that the contested delegates shall not vote on the matter of he selection of a member of the committee on cre dentials or on the report of the com mittee when presented. The motion Mr. Watson has moved to lay on the table " Both New York and Virginia dele gates demanded to know if under the Deneen motion the members of on contested delegation would be prevent ed from voting in any other contest. "That is the understanding," said Chairman Root. "The understanding of the chair is that if the Deneen motion prevails no one of the delegates named In the Had iey motion can vote on any of the other 72.” The chair then ordered the calling of the roll upon the motion of Mr. W atson to lay the Deneen motion on the table. "Aye" votes were conse quently for the Taft side and "No" votes for Roosevelt. Platform Against Judicial Recall CHICAGO, June 19 Here In sub stance is the tentative draft of tlv platform of the Republican party as It has been outlined by the leaders who have been working for the last four days on that momentous document: "The Republican party declares its unchanging faith in government of the people end for the people. It reaffirms its devotion to the fundamental prin ciples of constitutional government es tablished by the fathers; those princi ples which make provision for orderly and effective expression of the popular will, for the protection of civil liber ties and the essential rights of man and for the interpretation of the law by an independent and untrammeled judlci a ry. "It will take no part in either the changing or the overturning of the American form of government. "The Republican party is a party of progress and it is prepared to go for ward with the solution of those new problems which social, economic and political developments have brought into the forefront of the nation’s in terest. Child Labor Opposed. "It will strive to enact necessary legislation to safeguard she public health, to limit effectively the labor of children who should be at school, to protect wage earners in dangerous oc cupations, to substitute the principlf of working men's compensation for suits at law to recovet damages in case of injury, to retain public ownership and control of those natural resources that are still the public property and to satisfy the just demands for the study and solution of complex and constantly changing problems of social welfare. “In dealing with these questions it is vitally important that the rigtits of every individual to the freest possible development of his own powers and resources and to the control of his own justly acquired property shall not be interfered with or destroyed. "The Republican party reaffirms its intention to uphold at all times tiie au thority and integrity of the courts both state and Federal and it will ever in sist that their power to enforce their processes and to protect life, liberty and property should be preserved in violate. Against Judicial Recall. "The Republican, party is opposed to what is known as the recall of Judges, or to the recall of judicial decisions. Questions Os law can not be wisely set tled by popular vote. The public is better represented and better protect ed by the careful selection of tl»e ju diciary than by the recall of judges under the pressure of disappointments, clamor or revenge. “Together with peaceful and order ly development at home, the Republi can party earnestly favors all meas ures for the establishment and protec tion of the peace of the world and for the development of closer relations be tween the various nations of the world. It believes most earnestly in the peace ful settlement in all international dis putes and m the reference of all jus tifiable controversies between nations to an international court of justice, "The Republican party is opposed to special privilege and to monopoly. It placed upon the statute books the anti trust act of 1890, and it lias consistent ly and successfully' enforced the pro visions of that law. It will take no backward step to permit the re-estab lishment in any degree of condition* which were intolerable. For Trust Legislation. "The Republican party favors the enactment of legislation supplementary to the existing anti-trust act, which shall define as criminal offenses the specific acts which uniformly mark at tempts to restrain and monopolize trade to the end that those w r ho hon estly intend to obey the law may have a guide for their actions and that those who aini to violate the law may be the more surely punished. ‘The Republican party will support the prompt scientific inquiry into the causes which are operative both in the United States and elsewhere to in crease the cost of living, and, when the exact facts are known, to take the nec essary steps to remove any abuses that may be found to exist in order that the cost of the food, clothing and shel ter of the people may in no way ba unduly or artificially increased." “We Have the Bull By The Horns.”—McKinley. Just before the convention opened, Congressman McKinley, Taft’s mana ger, Issued a brief statement. He said; "We have the bull by the horns. There is no doubt as to President Taft’s victory, as yesterday’s poll gives ths only true indication of the situation. Os course, it is to be expected that efforts to belittle the seating of Etihu Root as temporary chairman are being made by the opposition. No matter what way they figure, Roosevelt is without a chance. He has dropped be hind over 70 votes. This can not be overcome. “We are in favor of giving the dele gates for Roosevelt or any other candi date full time to argue all the debat able points on the floor. Such oppor tunity can only strengthen the poll of votes for Taft. "I can not conceive that a bolt wilt be made by the Roosevelt delegates The events of yesterday served to em phasize the weakness of Roosvelt. He did not dare to come out in the open, but chose to hide behind the skirts oi some other man. “There Is no doubt but w hat the plan to side-track Botah and put McGovetS in his place was all cut and dried before the opening of the convention."
