ANOTHER CONVENTION PROBABLE
EX-PRESIDENT'S FRIENDS AT

BUT WILL TAKE NO HAND
IN PROCEEDINGS
CHICAGO, June 20. Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt indicated tonight that
under certain conditions he might
withdraw from the Republican party
to take the lead in the formation of a
new party.
"If the people want a progressive
party, I'll be in it,"he said.
Some of the Colonel's supporters
urged their associates, to precipitate
the crisis in the Republican National
convention at the earliest opportunity
tomorrow. More conservative coun
sels finally prevailed and it was decid
ed there should be no "bolt' from the
regular convention.
It was the plan tonight of the
ROBERT MARION
Roosevelt delegates to make their
last stand on the report of the cre
dentials committeee. If- the 78 dele
gates asserted by them to be fraudu
lent are seated, the Roosevelt forces
will remain in the convention until
the end, but will not vote. It is their

READY TO
plan then to proceed to the nomina
tion of the Colonel in the Coliseum
and claim regularity for. him.
Colonel Roosevelt has not definitely
committeed himself to the latter part
of this plan. He is considering the ad
visability of "delaying action for sev
eral weeks and then summoning an
entirely new convention. This would
not be held until after Democrats
have acted in Baltimore
Roosevelt members of the creden
tials committee, acting under the sug
gestion of Colonel Roosevelt, return
ed, to the meeting of that committee
today. Their statement last night
that they had "left the committee for
good" was followed by a decision to
go back and participate in the hearing
of contest cases.
Under the revised rules the Roose
velt men concluded they had won
their chief points, namely, to secure
the introduction of new evidence and
to secure greater time for debate.
The National convention itself
marked time today waiting for the
committee on credentials to conclude
its consideration of the contested del
egates. The committee planned to
work throughout tonight, so as to re
port to the convention when it meets
at 11 A. M.
It was predicted tonight that the
nominating stage of the convenion
might not be reached until late Sat
urday. A wide latitude of debate is
to be allowed tomorrow in the con
vention. Colonel Roosevelt said emphatical-
LA F0LLETTE.
ly tonight that he would make the in
dependent fight for the Presidency if
he were convinced there was a popu
lar demand for him. -
"I shall have to see if there is a
popular demand for me to run," he
said.
Fifteen minutes before the Repub
lican national convention met for the
afternoon sessi&n, Chairman Devine
of the credentials committee, sent
word to Temporary Chairman Root
that his committee could hardly re
turn a report on the roll of delegaes
before tomorrow.
The convenion was reassembled at
4:06 p. m., and was adjourned until
11 o'clock tomorrow moraine.
While the commitee on credentiats
threshed out in detail the contested
seats which have, resuled in the block
ing of the wheels of the Republican
national convention, the convention
held a four minute perfunctory ses
sion today. The only business tran
sacted was the prayer of the chap
lain. .
Until the credentials committee re-
pors the roll of the convention no bus
iness can be transacted.
The contests before the committee
it was officially announced to Senat
or Root, temporary chairman of the
convention, by Chairman Devine of
the credentials committee, would
likely be confined to the Ninth Ala
bama district, . Texas as a while,
Washington .Airzona and the Fourth
district of California. In these cases''
the widest debate was allowed. Oth
er minor contests were to be rail
roaded as being without merit.
Complete new and careful plans to
quell any disorders from any cause
whatever in the Coliseum were made
today by Sergeant-at-Arms Stone.
"Arrest any man senator,- judge,
state's attorney or -what not who
starts trouble," was Stone's order to
Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler.
At roll call of the police in the Col
iseum Stone gave his orders. "If no
violene ics offered, do not take any
action," said Stone, "but grab the first
man who starts anything."
Many extra policemen went on duty
in the hall today. They brought their
night sticks with them, twirling them
in front of them, where heretofore
they had been tucked away in their
belts. - . -
The rumor factory was working
overtime, and one of the reports was
that, as a stop to the progressives, the
delegates from California and Wash
ington at large were to be unseated
and the Roosevelt men given their
plaes.
The members of the committee de
nied that any such argreement had
been entered into.
"We will decide every case put be
fore .us squarely and on its merits,"
said Chairman Devine when told of
the rumor.
When the rumor was circulated on
the authority of Governor Post of
Porto Rica that Rooseveut would re
lease his delegates, there was a gen
eral jubilation among the Taft men.
They claimed this would give them
the solid vote of Massachusstts and
also mean at least 16 delegates from
Ohio. . -
Although it was certain that a re
cess would have to be ordered the
Coliseum filled up rapidly today.
The Taft forces emphasized their
control of the national committee in
the first test, vote before the creden
tials committee." By a vote of 34 to
14 the committee seated James R.
Sloan and J. R. Carter from the
ninth Alabama district. They were
originally placed on the roll by the
national committee and it was this
action that drew the colonel's original
charge that the committee was "in
league with thieves."
The committe debated the issue at
length after the contestants had re
tired and the entire morning was con
sumed on this single district. Chair
man Devine,- however, expressed the
belief when the luncheon recess was
ordered that the committee had now
found itself" and there would "be
rapid progress on all other cases. The
Arizona cases were taken up after

BALTIMORE, June 20. Alton B.
Parker was elected temporary chair
man of the Democratic national con
vention on the second ballot in the
committee on arrangements shortly
after 3 o'clock today. On the first
ballot he needed only one vote to be
elected.
On the first ballot Parker received
seven votes and Ollie James of Ken
tucky six. On the second ballot the
chairman of the committee voted with
the Parker forces, electing him. The
second ballot resulted:
Parker 8; James 3; Henry, of Texas

New York, 1.
Parker was bitterly opposed by Wil

The plans to prevent Bryan from
capturing the convention are well un

followers.

All the managers for candidates

The Clark people declare the Mis-

with nearly 500 votes while Wilson's
managers claim approximately 350 for
him at the start with Underwood and
