sign 01 not the hand played "Ah, I
Have Sighed-to Rest Me."
From the committee on credentials
v* hicii had been fighting over the re
port they would make, there came
word that the Taft majority had de
cided tn bring in a partial report taking
in the contests down through Ken
tucky. Here was the clear cut issue
of the fight. With the 76 left in their
seats there was but one tiling under
the Roosevelt program to do and that
was to treat the entire proceedings of
the convention as illegal and Ignore its
action thereafter.
So everybody heard of the arrange
ments for bringing the tight to a head
with renewed and reawakened inter-
New Jersey added to her answering
call in the rotation cheering:
"Are we it? Are it.
"You bet, we are. And well get
there jet"
In the meantime no chirp had tome
from the Taft men of the house. Thev
sat in their places merrily and waited
for calling of the roll. At 12:15 the
convention had not been called to or
der and the delegates and audience
both were restive. The delegates wan
dered up and down the aisles. When
Delegate Keyes, who looks like Roose
velt, entered he was introduced to for
mer '’ice President Fairbanks and tit?
Ivo chatted for ti few minutes.
Order Called
Hour and Half Late
Chairman Root called the conversion
to order at 12:26.
Prayer was offered by Rev John Mal
colm Shaw.
Just before the prayer Sergeant-at
arms William F. Stone stepped to the
front of the platform to direct the po
lice in the work of clearing the aisles
The police guard today whs arranged

Order was soon secured and Ret Mr
Shaw then stepped to the from of tin
* platform and pronounced the invoca
tion. Delegate:; and visitors rose to
their feet.
Chairman Root tailed for a report
from'the committee on credentials
\V. T. Dovell, of Seattle, a nietnbr i of
the committee, submitted the icpor'
recommending the seating of the Tuft
del“ga'es in the Ninth Alabama di
-cc. The report then went into tin
instory of the ca.-e
After the report was handed to th

endeavored to gain recognition of the

Root Rules Out
Minority Report

of Hr 'orivMition cun', whr n < 'lr.i rioa r
** ; raid ‘'here tatt be no such thine
as a minority report. He was hissed
and booed by many of the delegates.
Stepping to the front of the platform,
he said:
"It is just as well to wait until the
chair has finished a sentence.” He was
given a round of applause while he ex
plained that in the strictest sense there
could be no minority report, but the
minority can express Its views
Root said be assumed there would be
consent to hearing the report.
McCormick spoke as follows.
"When a few moments ago this pre
pared statement of the majority was
presented by a member of the commit
tee we requested the opportunity to
prepare a minority report.
"This opportunity was denied to us
and we wore simply given tlie oppor
tunity to register our dissent.
"I hold here the dissent of the minor
ity membets and state that we will ex
pect ample opportunity at some future
time to present the facts in this case."
The McCormick report was a protest
against the seating of the Taft dele
gates from the Ninth Alabama district
and against certain members of the
committee on credentials.
The chair recognized Governor Had
ley after the minority statement had
beep read. Robert J. Walker, of Vir
ginia. moved to lay on the table a mo
tion by Governor Hadley to substitute
the minority report for the majority
report. The chair held that the motion
would not be in order until the reading
of McCormick's statement had been
finished.
McCormick then began reading a long

typewritten statement, which was a de
tailed description of the Ninth Alabama
ease.
Protest Members
Os Committee. ,
The minority statement objected to
the following credential committee
men .
Devine. Esterbrook, Blunt. Mosely
and Shackleford. AH had served on
the national committee and the Roose
velt men held that .they had already
heard the cases and should not be al
lowed to re-judge them.
After McCormick had finished, Dovell
asked permission to make a statement
not exceeding five minutes. The chair
asked unanimous consent and in spite
of the fact that a number of tlie mem
bers cried “No," Root said:
"The chair hears no objection.” and
Dovell addressed the convention.
Dovell called attention to the fact
that though McCormick had asserted
no time had been allowed to prepare a
minority report there had been time
to prepare a lengthy statement of the
case.
After Dovell finished. McCormick
rose to a question of personal privi
lege. McCormick siad he had been with
the chairman of the convention en
deavoring to find out about matters of
procedure when the minority report
was framed. He said he did not know
of the plan and that opportunity was
given for framing a minority report.
The chair announced that Walker’s
motion to table had been withdrawn.
Governor Hadley wasj recognized. As
he stood in the Missouri delegation,
Chairman Root said:
"It is the evident wish of the con
tention that you should take the plat
form. Governor Hadley. The chair will
be very glad to have you do so. Hadley
was given a round of applause as he
reached the platform. He offered a
resolution providing that no delegate
whose seat was contested ,be allowed to
vote inn the credentials ehmrtilttee re
port.
