CHICAGO. June IS. "I'm a better

Roosevelt when he was asked his
opinion of the outcome of the conven
tion. This was all he would say to-
bight
Mr. Roosevelt directed his own bat
tie In the convention hall over a tele
phone wire. Hidden away In a room
in his hotel, he spent most of the time
listening to reports of his lieutenants
and Issuing orders in person. He was
seen only once or twice during the
day .as he hurried through the corrid
ors. When the convention bad adjourn
ed the Roosevelt leaders began a ser
ies of conferences with their chief,
which extended late Into the night
Colonel Roosevelt's associates predict
ed confidently that the fight would
be won .although they guarded careful
ly the plans for tomorrow which were
framed at tonight's conferences.
At 9 o'clock tonight the corridors
and lobby of the hotel where are the
Roosevelt headquarters were filled
with a solid, struggling mass of men
and women. Police reserves were
rushed to the place, but they could do
little to move the crowd.
In the hall of the Roosevelt com
mittee the crowd was kept in lively
spirits with a band concert. Impromp
tu orators who prophesied victory
without a doubt and a quartet which
sang amid great cheers a song enti
tled "Setam Roller Bill."
When the crush became so great as
io be perilous, the hall was cleared,
and then began a secret caucus of the
Roosevelt delegates and alternates.
Colonel Roosevelt fought his way I
through the struggling. cheering
throng as though he enjoyed the tus
sle and finally escaped through a door
way into the council chamber, in
which Senator Dixon, Governor Had
ley. Governor Stubbs, Senator Borah
and others of his leaders were await
ing him.

Strong rivals with the candidates
in discussion and conferences are the
questions whether the unit rule, and
the requirement of two thirds of the
delegates to make a nomination should
be required. There is a sentiment
among leaders who have arrived here
in' favor of changing the two thirds
rule to a majority. All are agreed.
however,, that no change will be
made to apply to the present conven
tion. The most that will be doue, if
any action taken, will be a submission
of the question to the Democrats in
the states, their verdict to be report

Roberta, "where they went to so much
trouble to make a mountain out of a

Three men have already lied on tne
stand and that will convict me. They
are trying to make a lot of the fact
that I wanted to read the papers. Any

killing. Walter aaid that Roberts
was eating bread and banannaa dur

TOMATO 8ECRET8
In choosing tomato plans for grow
ing prize tomatoes, do not select tree
tomatoes, as they are not proline, but
pick out some good, smooth, meaty
variety. Set the plant on the south
side of tbe stake, about four inches
from it and train same to stake as it
grows, tleing it with binder twine or
cloth strings, which are preferable.
Many times when the plants are very
rank two branches will start to grow
from the top. but clip one off, allow
ing only one to grow to a height of B
feet, then clip the tops, and keep
them clipped, which will hasten the
ripening,-and convert all the strength
of tbe vine into fruit
When tbe plants are 8 or 10 Inches
high, little runners or shoots will ap
pear In the forks. Here, writes C.
P. Bowlesly, In Farm and Home, is
where the whole secret lies. These
runners sap tbe main vine, and turn
all tbe strength Into Tines Instead of
tomatoes. When they appear, pinch
them off and allow only the main Tine
to grow. Tbe fruit buds or blossoms
will also appear in the same fork
but do not disturb tbem. Keep clip
ping out tbe runners every time yon
find any or every time you cultivate
them. Tbe fruit will be nice, early,
clean, bandy to pick, a great improve
ment over the old way.

by substituting the following list of
delegates, and that the list kuowu as
No. I, be known aa the list of tempo
rary delegates for this convention."
Watson renewed his point of order
(hat lltdley's motion was out of order
until a proper organisation of the con
ventlon had been effected,
Itoaewntcr declared that the motion
appeared to the chair to be woll tak
en, but said that he was willing that
each aide should have 30 minutes In
which to debate the question.
Coventor Hadley started the debate
for the ltooaevelt forces.
"I have presented for the considera
tion of the chairman of the conven
tion and this convention a motion to
amend tho temporary roll which has
: been placed before the convention.
The rhnlr has stated that In his opln
Ion, the point Is well tuken, but, In
the same spirit of that Illustrious
leader, William McKlnley, has adopt-
' ed tho fair plan of permitting debate."
' "Our chairman has asked that a
brief statement be made by those sup
porting and opposing It 1 offer this
to your determination in the Inst an
alysis. I question If the national com
mittee has the absolute power to con-
trol the list of delegates.
j "If It Is In the power of 27 men to
sny what shall be considered a ma-
! jorlty of a convention .then we have
: reused to have representative govern-
I inent In our party."
This declaration wus loudly cheer
1 ed.
""We know but one government In
this country, and that Is government
by political parties," he added "and
If control of the parties ran be main
tained by those who make up the tem
porary roll then ,we have a political
oligarchy.
"It Is the question now whether the
delegates shall or shall not pass up
on their own qualifications when their
right to sit Is protested. In 18S4, a
similar situation arose. The conven
tion then decided that the committee
was the servant and not the master of
the republican party or of the con
ventlon. This question must. In Its
final analysis be decided either that
the committee hss a power not sub
ject to change later, or that the con
vention may later change It"'
Hadley continued citing his conten
tion, reading from a parliamentary
point raised by Kosroe t'onkling in
1SC4. which be claimed was bis con
tention. "So I offer lo you today the prece
dent of IStil that nominated for the
second time Abraham .IJncoln." said
llndley. "I offer the statement of
Senator Hoar that the motion to
amend the temporary roll Is In order.
"Hut this question Is more a Ques
tion of principle than of precedent
It Is said that no fraudulent names
are on this roll. As long sa we don't
act and fairly fare this question, any
man who goes out from this conven
tion with a nomination, goes out with
a tainted nomination and ran neither
expect nor receive the votes of the
American people. .
"You cannot settle a question of
fundamental honesty by disregarding
it You cannot settle questions afreet
Ing the people by raising points of or
dcr, but I say that Just as certain as
you decline to answer my question
the people will decide that you don't
want to settle this question on the
facts atone. You must either purgo
your rolls or admit that you want to
confer a fraudulent nomination."
Former Governor Fort of New Jer
sey follewed Governor Hadley for the
Kooaevelt forces.
"There has never come before a na
tional convention in this wonderful
party of ours so Vital a question," he
said. "In 1880 the question arose ss
to whether It was In tbe power of a
convention to determine questions of
roll before a vote could be taken. Sen
ator Hoar of Massachusetts said that
In the absence of any rule, the deci
sion of any question rested with tbe
chair but subject to the rule of the
convention.
"The convention, not the chair,
must determine whether tbe roll pre
sented In such as this convention can
accept."
Fort then referred to numerous
committee decisions which, he said,
gave the. delegates the right to say
who should be seated,' and asked:
"Shall we have In this convention
such a scene ns has been going on
before the national committee?"
Here the speaker was drowned out
with a chorus of "Noes" from the
Roosevelt men and a similar shout
of "Yeas" from the Taft men.
Fort's time being up, former Con
gressman Watson then yielded 10
minutes of his time to Congressman
Sereno Payne of New York. The auth
or the tariff bill was both cheered and
Jeered, the Pennsylvania delegation
demanding "Where's Aldrleh?"
"This is a proposition of order or
chaos," he said. "How about the tar
iff bill?" someone demanded. Payne
was Jeered and Interrupted through
out. But he stuck to bis ground.
'"I nominate the Honorable Ellhu
Root as your temporary chairman.' "
said Watson.
A wild yell went up from the Taft
men at the mention of Root's name
and Hadley and Fort called "Time"
on Watson, but Chairman Kosewater
shook Ms head.
If you proceed as the ODDosltion
asks you to," said Watson, "then yon
must settle every contest before the
convention actually meets. If the
Hadley motion Is carried there will be
no need for a committee on creden-
tiols."
Here Watson moved to lav the an-
peal of Governor Hadley on the table.

Former Henntor Vllnn got the plat

Governor Hiram W. Johnson, of Cali
fornia, was received.
The fighting governor of California
got a greeting as he began:
"From the atate of California 1 sec

Govern," Johnson said. "I want to
say to you that on the roll call Cali
fornia will cast L'8 voles for McGov-
ern and here and now I serve notice
that on any question tlmt concerns
that state wt will cast 26 votes from
our state."
Wild howls of "No, No." and Jeers
and hisses came from the Taft dele
gates, but Johnson continued:
"The New York gentleman who pre
ceded me declared that he took no
chance with his candidate In the
chair. If you want a square deal and
want the Republicans of the nation
to get a square deal, vote for Govern
or McGovern for chairman. I deny
the right, and the Republicans of the
nation deny the right of any set or
men, repudiated by their party, to se
lect a chairman for us, and we will
not tolerate It. To every man In this
convention who believes In the square
ual we appeal In behalf of Governor
McGovern."
Fran .Is J. Heney. of California waa
the center of a warm demonstration
as he took the platform.
'This nntloti Is confronted by one
of the most momentous periods In Its
history," he began. "The question
Is not which Individual shall preside
here. There Is a question umlcrlrlnit
that which goes to the foundation of
Republican institutions. A national
committee prepared a roll for this con
vention which it Is proposed shall
command the delegates In their choice
of a tempornry chairman. This Is tho
first step, and It means that men who
have no right to sit here will nomin
ate a candidate for President If n
Republican president la to be elected
he must be elected by the vqtesof the
Republican states lie wilt not be
elected by the vote of the Philippines
Porto Rico or Alaska. He will not
be elected by the votes of southern
states."
The gallarles were shouting and
yelling and ninny Taft dolgntes were
Jeering, but Heney kopt on.
"This reminds me of some of the
actions of the national committee, led
by 'Big Stove" of Colorado." Heney
added.
