YELL DELEGATES DERAT E (Continued from Page 1) tod to voto on the question of whether they shnll be boucfiuinricd of the frnud which wiib committed in their lwlinlf." Tnft's Side Set Forth For the Tuft men the argument was opened by W. T. Dovnll of Senttlc. Ho plunged right into the Washington contest, snyinj thnl every dny the Washington eonveution wns held Col onel Uoosevelt clinrgod that a plot wns nfoot to stcnl Washington from him. "That statement wns outrageously false," declared Dovnll. He then re peated the argument made before the state convention in which it was claimed that the Roosevelt men who were in the minority bolted tho regu lar convention and elected their dele gates in a mass meeting. "It is utterly false that the state of Washington was ever carried by Roosevelt, Tho controversy arose over King county, tho Inrgcst in the state. Tho paid manager of the Roosevelt forces packed into n meeting of the eonnty central committee 150 men appointed by himself in order to con trol tho convention. They elected delegates at primary elections which were illegal. The Taft men refused to participate in these unlawful pri maries at which there were 13,000 hi a community having more than 100,- 000 votes. "It was on that showing thnt the man from Oyster Bay claimed he had curried Washington by a voto of 8 to 1. Your state committee refused to sent these fraudulent delegates." Keeping the Covenant Henry J. Allen of Kansas for the Roosevelt forces swayed the audience at the outset when he said: "The thing 1 liked best in the speech of your dis tinguished temporary chairman was his statement Wc will keep tho cov enant of our fathers.' "That covenant was between the weak and the strong. I speak today for tho delegates from Washington ivho were regularly elected, but who were ruled out by the national com mittee without their right to their scats even being ruled out by the na tional committee without being con sidcrcd on its merits. "I have 200 pounds of evidence that proves that tho statements made by the opposition are untrue. This evi denco was presented to the commit Ice, but it refused to consider it nt all." A Pertinent Question Allen then took up tho Washington contest as presented by Senator Poin dexter before the national committee, repeating all tho arguments mndc by the Washington senator before that committee. Allen insisted thnt the Roosevelt conventions were regular and tho Taft conventions arc irregu lar. A delegate rose in the Colorado scuts and demanded; "Will you sup port the nominee of this convention?" A wild storm of protest came from all over the hall. Questions were be ing bandied bnck and forth. Finally Allen answered: "I want to support the nominee of this convention more than anyone else in the convention and I will support the nominee of this convention only if ho secures thut nomination honorably and it is not ac companied by fraud or Miievery." Tho Roosovelt men jumped to their feet with u wild yell uud a fusilude of cheers. The Colorado and New York delegates wero nil shouting additional questions when a point of order was raised and again the many delegates could not hour the facts in the con tents. Allen continued with his analysis of the Washington cases. Ho took up tho King county case, saying that Roosevelt received more than six thousand votes there. Allen then deulured that tho state committee packed tho roll of tho state convention and issued tickets only to Taft mcu. "They wero afraid that the men who believe in righteousness would stampede the eonveution for Roosovelt," said Allen, "and so they would not let delegates in. I have a picture hero showing tho door of the convention hall with its guard of prizefighters, who kept tho regularly elected delegates out of the hall." Ilomenu'iiy for Dvfuiibo Former Senator Hemenway of In diana, was announced as the next speaker. He stated that he was not concerned with the fight between Roosovelt and Tuft at this time but whether tho temporary roll was pro perly made up. Ho reviewed tho ao tiou of tho national committee and argued thut its notion was proper and legal uud in striot accord with tho rules of the republican party, Hem einvay held that, to assail the national commit too for its decisions was un just and unfair. "There wero thirteen members and oiio yrojcy ou the committee who sign ed this protest and there were thirty nine who did not." "Who wero tlieyt" demanded Fliun. "I'll tell you," answered Iloincnwny. "You say that tho majority of the committee have been repudiated l their own committee. Let mo call your attention to the fact that alt hut two of (he men who signed this pro test have not been returned.'' "Tell us who they arc," again shouted Flinti. Am AmiiciiI to liisMuii "Let me tell von Air. Pennsylvania delegation" said Hemeuway, "that you do not want to listen to nu argu ment. You want to appeal to passion. You won't hear anything thnt tc'ls the truth about yourselves. Now I don't sav Senator Month and Frank Kclloin; were repudiated because they were not. They did not want to be returned, neither did Harry Now and 1 am not anxious to accept the state ment of T. Coleman Dupont of the wwder tnist as to who should go u the roll. I would rather take the word of Harrv New and men like him." "Shame on such contests," ho tinned. "Thev were paper confers anyhow." Ilemenwny turned the laugh on the Roosevelt forces, repenting Colonel Roosevelt's statement that, despite tho number of contests filed from Alabama, he only expected to win one. Only Paper Contests "Tint others were paer contests," he shouted, "to give certain people a chance to yell 'Fraud, fraud' where here was no fraud." Hcraenwny then assailed Cecil Lyon, for, ho said. "driving away five-sixths of tho re publicans of Texas." "What ho wants," Ilemenway de clared, "Is to reduce tho republi can party In Texas only to office holders, so that he can perpetuate his own control." Hemenway In sisted that Lyon voted counties In his state in which thcro was not a slnglo republican vote. "Lyon can no longer work his frauds on tho republican national convention," fcald Hemenway. FHnn sheuted: "How about Pen rose?" "111 answer you," said Hemenway "You ask about Penrose. Well I'll tell you straight It's Penrose above FHnn every time." This assertion Btartcd another storm. FHnn is Hcbuked "if the gentleman from Pennsyl vania wants an honest hearing of his charges and his statements," said Itoot in rebuking FHnn, "he will conduct tho proceedings in an or derly manner." Root pounded for order, but FHnn insisted on recognition. Snatching a megaphone from a delegate he sheuted: "I riso to a point of order. The gentleman from Indiana is not speaking to tho question." Root did not hesitate a. second. Pointing his gavel at tho Pcnnsyl vanlan, ho declared: "The gentle man from Pennsylvania will take his scat." FHnn stood his ground. " Smashing tho table again and again with his gavel, Root answered: "Tho point of order Is not well taken. The gentleman from Penn sylvania will take his scat. When quiet was restored tho gentlomsn from Indiana will resume." FHnn sat down. , Hemenway ended his argument amidst rival cheers and boos from tho two factions. Itecord of New Jersey. George Record of Now Jersey, ar gued for the Haaiey motion, dis cussing tho Arizona and Indiana cases. In tho argumont ho mado tho samo statements ho mado before tho national committee. Summing up his argument, Rec ord said: "Tho Issue between us Is clear. Wo dcairo to submit tho question to tho party voters. Tho opposition desires to submit this to a closed room wnero only a nana- picked delegation can participate It Is simply in n nutshell, whcthei tho bosses or tho peoplo shall rule." One of tho Wisconsin delegates I'lotested thnt ho could not hear and said the contusion waa duo to tho fact thnt It wns lunch time. Ho asked a recess but a howl of "noes" camo from every section of the hall and Record continued his argument, Root ruling tho motion out of order.
