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.

"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.

ROOT PRESIDES OVER G. O. P. CONVNTJON AS CHOICE OF TAFT MEN HP - I \t||7 IMTtRM AY/dHAL. 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 1U " ll!

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.

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?" A. H. LINDLEY DEAD. MARIETTA. GA.. June 19.—A H. Lindley, a prominent citizen of Cobb county, died at the home of his daugh ter, about three miles south of Mari etta. He was a Confederate veteran and was about 70 yeas old.

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. .
