Roosevelt delegates from that state,

An effort was made by Committee
man New to end the differences among
loulslana Republicans by officially rec
ognising the Lolsel faction, now con
trolling the state Republican organlsa.
tlon there, but Mr. Wight headed off
such action.
Governor Osborn. of Michigan, and
his Roosevelt delegates-at-large were
unseated. 'The contest over the Fourth
California district furnished bitter en
changes. Francis J. Ileney led the
Roosevelt forces.
The National commit tea still tiaa be

of the committee fear the contests will

the convention. The rest of the Mis

Heaey A p wears for Coloael.
Francis J. limey, who held a proxy
from South Dakota and appeared as a
partisan of Colonel Roosevelt, took his
place at the attorneys' table when the
California case was called. The case
for the Taft contesting delegates was
opened by Frederick C. Bryan, of Wash
ington, one of President Taft's nian
sgers.. He declared the two Taft delegates
liaii received the majority of votes In
the Fourth District. Under the Cali
fornia primary law. however, the right
nf district representation had been de
nied, he said, and the "unit rule" ap
plied to the whole California delega
tion. -
Hrysn said two Taft delegates, be
cause they claimed to have about tiO
majority In the Fourth District, de
clined to be bound by the Roosevelt
vote In the state-at-large.
"The law provides, does It not," asked
Kellogg, "that all delegates shall be
hound by the majority In the state-at-large?"
"Yes. It does."
"What was the Roosevelt majority
In the state?" asked Kellogc.
"Seventy-seven thousand," Interrupted
llerie?.
Kellogg rsller attention to the fact
that the committee had already seated
all the other California delegates.
"Rut In this one case." said Bryan,
"the Taft delegates received a ma
jority." I oeamltte Regarded as Kapreate,
Governor Hadley, of Missouri, hold
ing the proxy of Bieher, of the DIs
. trlrt of Columbia, asked Rryan If he
thought the call of the National Re
publican committee was superior to a
state lsw.
"When the state law Interferes with
the terms of the party law the National
rommlttee's ruling Is supreme." said
Bryan.
Senator Penrose asked Bryan If he
knew anything about "the deliberate
attempt in California to violate the Re
publican committee call by passing the
primary law."
Ileney broke In to object to having
'allfornla libeled In this way. lie was
called to order by the chairman, who
Kald he would have an opportunity to
be heard later.
Rryan said he believed the commit
tee ought not suhmlt to the attacks
that had been made upon It by Gov
ernor Johnson of California, "even
though he wss Governor of a soverelga
stste."
Ileney opened his defense of the
Roosevelt delegates In a vigorous man
ner. "I sppesl to you. Senator Murray
Crane." he began, and the chairman
told him to address the committee la
proper terms.
"Warnlaa; g.lvea Taft.
"I am addressing an Illustrious
member of the committee In particu
lar, who I think has some respecta
bility that he cannot afford to lose."
said Mr. Henry.
"Are you here to argue thla case?"
demanded Chubb, of Florida.
"No." shouted Heney. "I have come
here for the purpose of apprising the
President that he Is accepting stolen
goods If he takes these delegates when
j O't give them to blm."
- Hosewater again told Heney to con
fine himself to arguments and not
"tslk to the gallery."

members of the committee ' from
"Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and
Other states."
Continuing, Heney Insisted the call
of the Republican National committee
provided that state laws should not
interfere with district elections of
delegates provided tha district wanted
to exercise Its rights. In the Fourth
District, he said, the Republican or
ganisation had never proceeded legally
to the selection of delegates.

Heney then announced that Gov
ernor Johnson refused to appear be
fore tha committee and read a letter
from the-Governor announcing his re
fusal. James A. Tawney. casting the Tote
of Brocker. of Connecticut, declared
the recognition of states. Instead of
Congressional districts. In seating del
egates would completely overturn Re
publican principles.
Senator Borah, voting against the
Taft delegates, reiterated his state
ment of yesterday, that he would al
ways vote for delegatea who had been
selected at primaries where the people
had an opportunity to express them
selves. "Can you give to a voluntary organ
isation." he demanded, referring to the
National Committee, "greater power
than Is vested In a sovereign stater
"Tou are making it Impossible." de
clared Borah, "for a Republican to
preside over this Nation for the next
four years. It Is a greater question
than tha election of Taft or Roosevelt
It Is a question of the perpetuation of
tha principles for which Lincoln lived
and died."
Governor Hadley, of Missouri, voting
against the Taft delegation, eald he
did not believe the committee had the
right to deny seats to delegates who
had been selected by a state, no matter
what method the voters had chosen to
select them.
After the Tsft delegates were seated
by a vote of 3T to 14. Shackleford. of
Alaska, who assailed Heney when vot
ing, moved to return to Governor
Johnson of California, "without com
ment, the note Mr. Heney had read to
the committee. In which reference was
made to 'stealing delegates'."
The Shackleford resolution was laid
on the table without a roll-call.
Laalalaaa Caateeta Battled.
When the Louisiana cases were called
the committee, 40 to x. voted to seat
the six Lolsel-Taft "black and tan"
delegates at large. Committeemen
Wight and Thorson voting no. Mr.
Wight then withdrew contests In the
First. Benond. Sixth and Seventh dis
tricts, adding eight more to the Taft
column. The committee then took up
the Third. Fourth end Fifth Louisiana
districts In the Third District both
delegations were for Taft. the contest
again being one of local politics.
After seating the Rodrtgue dele
gates, the committee took up the Fourth
District contest. In which there were
three delegations two for Taft and
one for Roosevelt. Colonel Lyon moved
that the two contesting Roosevelt dele
gates be defeated. This was defested
without roll call and the lolael-Tart
drlegstea seated.
The contest from the Fifth Louisiana
District. Involving three factions, was
tsken up and went like (he others.
The Michigan contest Involving six
delegates-at-large were then taken up.
The list of contesting Roosevelt dele
gates from Michigan waa headed by
Governor Osborn. The Taft delegation
was led by John D. McKay.
George L. Record, of New Jersey, and
Frank Knox. William L. Gordon and
other Michigan Roosevelt leaders were
present. Mr. Record said there had
been two conventions In Bay City and
that tha state committee had taken
upon Itself the decision as to what
county delegates should go on the
temporary roll of the state convention.
Mlekla-aa Maeklaa A rcan a.
"More than 100 regularly elected del
egates were forcibly kept out of the
tll." he said.
Tha Michigan case turned, he said,
upon the Wayne County (Detroit)
fight, where there were two conven
tions. "In 21 precincts," Record said. "In
the primary election we assert the
polls were kept open from three min
utes to two hours Instead of the spe
cified four hours."
The Wayne County delegates, argned
Mr. Record, numbered 263. of whom.
he said, -the Roosevelt forces elected a
majority.
"If they later voted for Taft. It is
up to the Taft forces to explain how
they got them away." Record said.
Tha turbulent scenes that character
ized the stats convention, where the
troops were called out by Governor Os
born, were reviewed by Mr. Gordon,
who said he bad been struck and
knocked off the platform by the "Taft
press agent In Michigan."
The Taft forces, Gordon said, took
possession of the armory the night
before tha convention, locked the doors
In the morning and kept out Roosevelt
men when they appeared. Hers Gov
ernor Stubbs, of Kansas, asked:
"How many delegates do yon say
you elected In Wayne County?"
"We seated 133 out of the 2&3 In the
convention," said Gordon.

"If you had secured Wayne County
you would have- controlled the stats
convention?" asked tha Governor.
"Yea," waa the reply.
Paul H. Kfng. secretary of tha Re
publican state committee, spesking for
the Taft delegates at large, said he Is
sued the call for the meeting of the
Republican state committee at which
the Roosevelt men charge the tem
porary roll of the convention waa made
np Improperly. King said State Chair
man Knox, a Roosevelt man, declined
to call tha committee together and m
majority of tha committee had acted
without him. He Insisted that the tem
porary roll bad been made properly.
Referring to alleged primary frauds
In Detroit, where. It was asserted, the
polls had ben closed too earjv, Alex
ander Groebeck, appearing on the Taft
sldev said part of these assertions were
true, because In such precincts there
was little opposition.
The Taft delegatea were seated by
the National committee without any re
quest from the Roosevelt forces for a
roll call or to seat the Roosevelt dele
gates. Committeeman Luna, of New
Mexico, made the motion to seat them,
and most' of the Roosevelt men voted
"no," vino the question was put. ,

The Mississippi contests were then
rcallsd up. The contesta Included the

snd two each from the First. Second.
Fourth. Fifth. Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth districts.
The Mississippi convention waa a tur
bulent session, out of which two con
ventions were formed. The Taft men
said theirs was "legal and regular."
W. J. Latham presented affidavits from
Jackson policemen to show that the
Republicans bad tried to run a peace
able convention. After tha convention
divided, Latham said, the Taft men
did not try to put the Roosevelt men
out. F. V. Brown said It or 20 persons
took part In the Roosevelt convention.
W. E. Molllson. a negro representing
the Roosevelt forces, said "armed men"
had prevented Dan W. Gary from tak
ing tha gavel in the state convention
and had drfven him from the platform.
The Roosevelt men then proceedud
with their convention, he said, aa near
the platform as they could get.
Tha committee decided to seat ths
