The novel (sensation of being forced

CHICAGO. June 17 While they as
serted that Colonel ' Roosevelt would
control the Republican National con
vention and be nominated on the ffrA
ballot, the Roosevelt leaders spent to
day working out details of their plan
of attack on the Taft programme as
outlined last night ,1
There was no talk of "stampede"
among the Taft forces today.
The President's adherents said posi
tively that control of tne convention
through the delegates seated . by the
National committee could not be men
aced by the strategy of the Roosevelt
manager.
Day One of Quiet.
Moderation was counselled by the
two warring camps throughout the
day and this had its effect There
were occasional charges of "theft" and
fraud" from the Roosevelt forces, off
set by charges of "brlbenf' and "cor
ruption" from the Taft headquarters,
but it was everywhere agreed that the
day had been one of the quietest pre
ceding a convention in years.
Tonight, the Taft leaders were con'
tlnulng a council of war begun early
in the day, while the Roosevelt people
were whooping things up at a remark'
able meeting in the Auditorium, where
Colonel Roosevelt addressed a cheering
mass of humanity: -' - ' ' -
Uncertainty as to the result of the
convention was as prevalent tonight
as at any time since the Republican
forces began their invasion of Chicago.
The final claims and figures put out
each side claiming a clear majority
were those of hope rather than con
viction.
Friends of Moderation Win.
The element among the Roosevelt
supporters who counseled moderation
among their associates, had the satis
faction of apparently defeating the
plan to force a motion for the noml
nation of Roosevelt the moment Acting
Chairman Rosewater should refuse to
entertain the proposition of submit

CHICAGO, June 17. On the eve of
the Republican convention, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt- disclosed tonight
his line of attack. He laid down two '
principles.
He said the delegates whose selec

organization of the convention nor
on the settlement of the contest, and
made it clear that he would resist
such action.
He said no action on the convention
based on the votes of these "fraudulent

upon the Republican party."
Throne; Jams Building. - '
It was at the Roosevelt rally in the
Auditorium that the ex-President made
his challenge. He was facing a cheer
ing throng which Jammed the huge
building as tightly as the fire marshal
would permit Reaching to the last
line of seats, and to the top of the
topmost balcony were solid rows of men
and women; delegates from every part
of the country, Roosevelt leaders and
a host of privates in the Roosevelt
army. They gave the ex-President a
mighty welcome.
Colonel Roosevelt made a fighting
speech. His hearers were in a fighting
mood. They cheered him on as he de
nounced, his opponents, and shouted to
him "Go at them, Teddy," "Knock out
the steam roller," "Hit them again."

Long before Mr. Roosevelt reached
the Auditorium every seat was taken.

With the next namo the groan be

To preserve peace the Colonel gave
up his roll call. He said his chief op

When Colonel Roosevelt said that
