Out of Texas Taft ob tained 26 of the contested 30, -over the protest of Colonel Cecil A. Lyon, who asserted: "Yon may depose me now. but I will be back four years from now, when many of you will not." Color Line Draws la Virginia. In Virginia, where the issue was drawn between the negro voters and the regular state organization, the President received the entire contested delegation of 20. In the District of Columbia he won two. Committeeman Sydney Bieber going to defeat with the Roosevelt delegation. The finish of the long contest hear ings was marked by Incidents more strongly indicative of the division be tween the Taft and Roosevelt forces than any in the preceding days.

The contest of the eight Texas dele- srates-at-large was the first called. olonel Lyon, the Roosevelt leader, said he believed technically there was no ontest against the rtooseveit aeie sates-at-large. He said he was of the belief that no printed brief for the Taft delegates had been filed within the prescribed zv aays oezore me national . ammittoe met: that In consequence. (the rules of the committee bad not been observed and no lormai contest existed. ' The Taft delegates were neara as me ontestants. Frederick C. Bryan began the argument for the Taft delegation.
