CHICAGO. June 19. Referring to the >
accomplishments of thr administration !
of Theodore Roosevelt when president ;
ns part of the record of the Republican
party which should call for a (ontfnu- |
ance in power of the G. O, P., Senator i
Elihu Root, the Taft nominee for tern- !
porary chairman of the Republican na - '
tlonal convention, who was elected aft- |
era long and hard tight, over Governor
McGoverp of Wisconsin, the Roosevelt
nominee, by a vote of 568 to 502, sound- I
ed the •keynote" of the 'l’aft wing of,
the party late last evening to a par- \
tially filled convention hall. Senator j
Root went into the achievements of the ;
Taft administration in detail. Among I
other things. he said:
McKmley, Roosevelt and Taft.
"1 believe that I appreciate this ex
pression of confidence.
"Throughout our party's history In
each presidential election we have
gone to the American people with the
confident and just assertion that the
Republican party is not a mere fortui
tous collection of individuals, but is a
coherent and living force as an organ
isation. It Is effective, responsible,
worthy of confidence, tompetent to
govern.
"We claim that we are entitled to a
popular vote of confidence at the com
ing election because we have demon
strated that we are a party of af
firmative, constructive policies, better
ment and progress of our country In all
the fields upon which the activity and
Influence of government can rightly en.
ter.
“We challenge the judgment of the
American people on the policies of Mc-
Kinley and Roosevelt and Taft
"President Taft in his speech of ac
ceptance on July 28. 1908, paid a Just
tribute to the great service rendered
by his predecessor in awakening the
public conscience, inaugurating re
forms and saving the country from the
dangers of a plutocratic government.
He instanced the railroad rate law, the
prevention of railroad rebates and dis
criminations, the enforcement of the
anti-trust law. the pure food law, the
meat inspection law. the general super
vision and control of transportation
companies, the conservation of natural
resources, and he proceeded to sav
Next Administration’s Duties.
" 'The chief function of the next ad
ministration, in my judgment. Is dis
tinct from a progressive development
of that which has been performed by
R esident Roosevelt. The chief func
tion of the next administration is to
complete and perfect the machinery by
which these standards may be main
tained. by which the lawbreakers may
be promptly restrained and punished,
but which shall operate with sufficient
accuracy and dispatch to Interfere with
legitimate business as little as possi
ble '
"Tiie Republican party stands now,
as McKinley stood, for a protective tar
iff. while the Democratic party stands
against the principle of protection and
for a tariff for revenue only.
"The prosecution of trusts and com
binations in violation of the Sherman
act has proceeded with extraordinary
vigor and success. The Standard Oil
Company has been dissolved by a suit
began under Roosevelt and brought to
a successful conclusion under Taft
through a judgment in exact accord
ance with the prayer of the complain
ant. The American Tobacco Company
has been dissolved and its property
scattered amon.; fourteen different
companies, with stringent injunctions
against common control, which, in the
unanimous opinion of the four judges
of the circuit court of appeals, were
fully adequate to accomplish the relief
demanded. The beef packers, the
wholesale grocers, the lumber dealers,
the wire makers, the window' glass pool,
the electric lamp combination, the bath
tub trust, the shoe machinery trust
the foreign steamship pool, the Ameri
can Sugar Company, the steel corpo
ration, the harvester companj -all have
been made to feel the heavy hand of
the law through suits or indictments
against restraints and monopolies.
What Party Promises.
"We will maintain the power and j
honot <>f the nation, hut we will ob
serve those limitations whi. h the con
stitutlon sets up for the prt -creation of ,
local self-government.
"We will make and vigorous’;) on |
force laws for the promotion f publi
interests and the attainment of publi !
eflds. but we will obsert < those great
rules of fight, •conduct which out fa
thers embodied in the limitations f ■ ,
constitution.
",'The Republican party will up old
st all times the authority and integrity
of the courts, state and Federal, and
will .eve' insist that their pow ers to ,- n .
foree th> ir pioecsscs to protect life. lib.
erty am! prosperity shall be presi '\ o,
inviolate.'
"We must be Hue to that pledge, fol
tn no other way can our country keep
Itself within, the strait und narrow path
prescribed by the principles of right
conduct embodied in our constitution
Senator Root's tariff comment
evoked a ripple of cheers, predicting a
Republican success in the fall election,
he was given a hand of applause.
Senator Root concluded at 7:35 p. m.
and formal appointment of minor tem
poral' officials followed.
Senator Clark of Wyoming moved
that unti rules were adopted the con-
governed by the ruin of the

ELIHU ROOT,
Labor Demands
Curbing of Judges
CHICAGO, June 19.—Relief for labor
organizations from the provisions of
the anti-trust law and the curbing of
the power of Federal Judges in the Is
suance of injunctions in labor disputes
will be the chief demands made by or
ganized labor on the platform builders
of the Republican convention.
The same demands will be presented
next week to the Democratic leaders in
Baltimore.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
John R. Lennon, treasurer, today began
formulating the demand* w'hich will be
presented to the proper committees at
the earliest opportunity.
Mr. Gompers said he did not know
when he would be given a hearing. If
at all.' ,
Bills are now pending in congress
designed to give the labor organizations
tiie relief they on the injunction
question and the anti-trust question,
but Mr. Gompers said they have not
passed the senate and he intimated
there is little hope of their enactment
Into law at this session.
Another plank which, it is under
stood. the labor forces will ask is a law
prohibiting the shipment of prison
made goods from one state to another.
A. bill on this subject ia pending in
congress, but it is not believed that it
will pass.
The extension of the eight-hour law,
which has been urged by the American
Federation of Labor fpr years, recently
passed both houses of congress; so that
the leaders are satisfied on that point.
The creation of postal savings banks,
which was one of the Insistent de
mands made by the labor forces four
years ago, has been effected; so that
Is left off labor's program this year.
"I expect the policy of the American
Federation of Labor In the coming
campaign will be shaped according to
the treatment we receive," said Gom
pers.
While he was careful not to commit
himself regarding any of the presiden -
tial candidates, Mr. Gonßiers showed
that he is as much opposed to Presi
dent Taft as he was in the campaign
four years ago, and expressed the hope
that Colonel Roosevelt would not allow
tiie "steam roller" to run over him In
the convention
Cummins Men
Still Hopeful
CHICAGO, June 19 Despite open
throwing of the Roosevelt strength yes
terday in favor of Governor McGovern,
of Wisconsin, a LaFollette man for
temporary chairman, the Cummins
lowa lielegation kept up hope today.
Senator Kenyon and the Cummins
men have agreed to support the Roose
vclt temporary organization plan to the
limit, in so far as it did not affect the
fortunes of their candidate personally.
Even though the Roosevelt strength
went to McGovern in the convention
fight for temporary chairman. Senator
Kenyon and other Cummins support
ers asserted that the second ballot on
presidential candidates would show
more than 180 votes fbr Cummins
Senator Kenyon Is holding frequent
conferences with leaders of other dele
gations

ELBERT HUBBARD GIVES
1 THE TAFT SIDE OF THE
REPUBLICAN SQUABBLE
By ELBERT HUBBARD.
CHICAGO, June 19.—" An honest poli
tician," said Thomas Brackett Reed "ia
one who stays bought.”
In Chicago at this time, taking a
prominent part In this convention, are
five men who are under Federal indict
ment for violation of the Sherman act.
They were indicted on the order of
President Taft
These individuals are now working
tooth, nail and pocketbook for Theodore
Roosevelt,
They know Roosevelt—they did busi
ness with him when he was president
of the United States, and they hope to
do business with him again
Four years ago and right years ago
these >ame parties contributed big
sums for campaign purposes.
This Is a matter of court record.
From ten to two hundred thousand
dollars each were given by the con
cerns represented by these zealous cam
paign heelers
Such sums are insignificant when
compared with what is at stake.
The Taft forces are not on half-ra
tions, tor they have all the momen
tum and maztima that goes with Fed
eral patronage.
But for the "outs” to have so much
money is a new condition In Republi
can party politics.
General Bragg was one*- sent to
Texas to buy army mules, and his vir
tue was put to severe strain to resist
bribes. He telegraphed to the secre
tary of war: "These d scoundrels
down here have about reached m.v
price. Please remove me."
“Bribery” in Chicago.
Only the inexperienced Imagine that
bundles of money are passing as actual
bribes in Chicago.
What happens Is that necessary dis
bursements take place to cover legiti
mate expenses.
Delegates will need money In the
coming elation to use for the good of
the cause, not for themselves.
Some may need personal loans.
A man may have an Inconvenient
mortgage on his home. Others are send
ing their girls and boys to college. An
other needs a team of horses, an au
tomobile, a piano or some other of the
necessaries of life.
The money Isn’t passed out through
a window and a receipt given. II comes
from a near and dear friend with whom
you are dining and quietly talking mat
ters over in a heart-to-heart confer
ence.
It is payment for services rendered
or to be rendered. It is the mark of
faith twlxt man and man. It symbols
human brotherhood.
Colonel Roosevelt went to the Fourth
Presbyterian church, Sunday, and put
a five-dollar bill in the basket. This
does not mean that he bought the min
ister. He merely contributed to a good
cause
One colored man told me that he had
been able to pay off the debt on his
church since he arrived here a week
ago.
Conscience Lulled to Sleep.
Conscience is lured on and lulled to
sleep by friendship's'lullaby.
We are fighting In a common cause.
We must stand together. Stormy times
are coming. We must intrench our
selves against possible blizzards.
And so we divide up the sinews of
war, not for selfish reasons, quite the
contrary. Any money that is passed
out Is for the good of the cause.
This tine work done by the political
antennae Is not carefully audited or
vised by the big contributors.
The men "higher up" have perfect
faith in their hired servants.
t The money may pass down through
two. three, four nr five pairs of grimy
hands before it reaches a point where
it irrigates the fertile fields that are
i arid and silently petitioning for relief.
Never was there such fraternal and
R fine feelings of human felicity as are
now being exhibited between the
whites and blacks.
Last week our colored friends were
up around the Coliseum or on the West
' Side, Now they are right with us.
wearing high hats, Prince Albert coats,
smoking the best cigars, conversing In
confidential tones.
Chauncey Depew ones said that
nothing animated the flagging zeal of
a lawyer equal to a hundred-dollar bill,
t 'Excepting two hundred-dollar bills "
added Mr. John E. Parsons.

have hundred-dollar bills who never
had them before.
These, men may be pledged for either
this candidate or that. bu.l the question
that agitates the impatapable other is.
"Will they stay put?"
There Is no legal obligation, and
conscience is largely a matter of educa
tion.
Many of th* Taft delegates were ap
pointed to office by Theodore Roose
velt.
And they are now plainly told that if
Theodore Roo«evelt is again elected
they will hold their positions for life.
There is another phase of talk which
we now- hear expressed, calmly and
without apology—not loudly nor with a
bullying bravado—but quietly, simply
and as a matter of course. And that
is this: If you have a good general
manager in your factory, you don’t turn
him out at the end of every four years
and put in a new man. Neither do you
disturb your entire business organiza
tion by bringing in all of the stock
holders, employees and consumers of
your goods to vote on the question.
If the man Is doing good service for
you as a superintendent, you keep him
indefinitely.
Theodore Roosevelt did this country
splendid service. He set in motion re
forms which, if carried out honestly and
persistently, would reorganize the
country on a better basis than civiliza
tion has ever before seen.
Roosevelt put Taft in as president of
the United States, believing that Taft
would honestly carry out the good work
initiated and set in motion.
Why now tear the country up every
four years with all this needless row
and expense and diversion of business
from its proper and legitimate chan
nels?
These conventions throw the country
into a semi-panic.
When we get a good man. why not
keep him?
Taft on First Ballot.
While most wise men—or fairly so —
declined to make a prophecy. 1 will
hazard one, and that is that President
Taft will get the nomination on the
first ballot.
But before the ballot comes there will
be a hard fight and a scramble by the
Roosevelt forces, with much gaseous
threat, expletive, invective and volleys
of caloric.
But let us all remember that threat
ened men live long.
And while Chicago is full of gun men
and detectives could secure an automo
bile load of shooting irons in the lobby
of the Congress hotel, yet there will be
no violence.
"De chief, he has came.” But his
coming has not (hanged the political
atmosphere.
The blizzard was only a wind storm.
The blame for the Roosevelt defeat
is being put on the men who managed
the steam roller.
"It is defeat with honor." said one
Roosevelt man to me in confidence.
"We will be defeated at the polls. There
will be four years of Democratic dem
agogery; then Roosevelt will come
back, welcomed by the entire country."
"And when he come* back and oc
cupies the presidential chair, we never
get him out.” 1 ventured, as a feeler.
“Well, what of it?" was the answer.
"Wouldn't that be better than this see
, saw. hammer-and-tongs business every
four years? Wasn’t Mexico happiei
' under Diaz than she now is?"

T. R. Gives His Aids
War Orders forToday
CHICAGO, June 19. —A long confer
ence was held by Colonel Roosevelt
with his chief leaders at the Congress
hotel-this morning. The Roosevelt aids
received their final orders and then
went to the Coliseum.
The colonel was full of fight when he
met his lieutenants, and showed no
tract of disappointment over his defeat
yesterday on the anniversary of the
battle of Waterloo.
William Flynn, who appeared care
worn; George W. Perkins, Governor
Hadley of Missouri. Governor Stubbs
of Kansas and Senator Joseph M. Dix
on participated tn the conference.
The twenty uniformed policemen de
tailed to aid the colonel's personal
bodyguard, made up of husky white
men from West Virginia and glam
blacks from various sections of the
South, took their places about the
Roosevelt headquarters before 9
o’clock.
The "signal service" of the Roosevelt
army, the telephone and telegraph in
struments between Colonel Roosevelt's
room and the Coliseum were tested
carefully, for over these wires from
within his tent Colonel Roosevelt
planned again today to direct the bat
tle.
He was in personal charge of his
forces every moment of the day. No
movement could be made at the Col
iseum unless devised by Colonel Roose
velt beforehand or ordered by him in
the stress of battle.
Gifford Pinchot, former member of
the "kitchen cabinet;'' James R. Gar
field and Senator Borah arrived after
the main conference had been In prog
ress an hour. .
