CONVENTION BATTLES ALL DAY OVER ITS Vfctory CONVENTION HAI-U Chicago. June j I. it Was two minutes after 11 o'clock today when Chairman Rose water, of the Republican National committee, succeeded, with the assist ance of the reading cleric with the big voice and a megaphone. In getting the attention of the convention. "The hour of 12 having arrived." said Rosewater. glancing at a slip of paper, "and a quorum manifestly be ing present, the convention will be In order while the Rev. Father Callaghan will invoke divine blessing. The prayer was short. During its delivery Rosewater kept a close eye on the minister and on the body of delegates. Many delegates murmured the Lord s Prayer with Father Callaghan. Hadley Opens Battle. As Father Callaghan concluded. Chairman Rosewater pounded the table with his big gavel and announced: The secretary of the Republican National committee will read the call of this convention." The moment the call was completed, Governor Hadley. of Missouri, the Roosevelt floor leader, was on his feet. "Mr. Chairman." he called out. "The chair recognizes Governor Had ley. of Missouri," said Chairman Rose water. "Mr. Chairman. I rise to a question of Information.'" said Hadley. The Governor was beckoned to the stage and made bis way there amid applause. James B. Watson, of In diana. Taft floor leader, followed him. In the meantime. William Barnes, Jr.. of New York, was on his feet. Temporary Roll Attacked. "I make a point of order." he shout ed, but was not recognized. Governor Hadley then stated his question, which Involved the substitu tion of rolls prepared by the Roose velt forces for the temporary roll pre pared by the National committee. "I rise to Inquire whether the Na tional committee has framed for this convention a proper temporary roll, said Hadley. James E. Watson Interrupted, saying: "Mr. Chairman. I make the point of order that nothing Is in order before this convention until it has been or ganized." Both Hadley and Watson were cheered as they stood on each sid of the chairman's table, facing each other. "I rose to a question of Information, ' answered Governor Hadley. "prelim inary to making a motion. Until 1 made that motion there was nothing to mike a point of order against. I. still have the recognition of the chair." Again the cheers broke out. Champions Called Stage. Governor Hadley then presented his formal motion to take from the tem porary roll the Taft delegates and sub stitute the Roosevelt delegates in cer tain contested states. Mr. Watson re newed his point of order before the list was read. "The point of order seems to be well taken." said Rosewater, "but if the Governor will address himself to the point of order, we will hear him for 20 minutes, not wishing to be arbitrary." Governor Hadley called to the. plat form Governor Deneen. of Illinois, and ex-Governor Fort of New Jersey. Representative. Sere.no E. Paynev of New York, was summoned to the stage bv the Taft forces. As each of the champions took the stage round of cheers swept the hall. There was a brief consultation on the statre by the opposing forces. Then Governor Hadley stepped to the front and began his argument. The. plan of th Roosevelt leaders announced two days ago was being carried out. Governor Hadley briefly announced aain his motion and the fact that Rosewater had ruled that a point of order against the motion seemed to be well taken. Example of McKlaley Cited. "Instead of following the Illustrious example of our distinguished leader. William McKlnley, when he presided in a convention and Invited full debate and consideration of a point of order, the present chairman has asked only for a brief statement from each side," said Governor Hadley. The. mention of McKinley's name evoked no applause. "I assert," he went on, "that the question Is whether a National com mittee of the Republican party has the absolute power to form a temporary roll for this convention, which can only be changed by a report from a com mittee of this convention, or whether this convention Itself shall say who shall sit in It. "If it is In the power of 27 men to say who shall sit in this convention arbitrarily and without appeal, then we have reached the end oX representative government in this country." A round of cheers greeted this attack on the National committee. The dele gates listened to Hadley with quiet at tention. "If a political convention can be con trolled by a group of men within the party." he said, "then have we estab lished political oligarchy. Then have we given a few men control over party and convention." Governor Hadley said he had ample precedent for the action he demanded. Cemaaltteea Reversed Previously. In 1864, he said, the convention "in Its own right to conduct Its own .busi ness In Its own way." overthrew the Na tional Committee selection of a tem porary chairman. Hadley also quoted as a precedent a decision of George F. Hoar, of Mas sachusetts, presiding in the convention In 1480, who recognized a motion to amend the temporary roll by sub stituting delegates. "But conceding for the sake of argu ment the contention of the other side that this is entirely a new question and that there Is no precedent, every precedent" must have a beginning. In order to live that precedent must be decided in accord with the eternal prin ciple of right and wrong. This, my friends. I repeat, is a question of prin ciple rather than of precedent." We cannot sit and close our ears to what the American people are saying today." continued Governor Hadley. Wild cheers broke in upon his speech. "The Integrity of this temporary roll has been challenged by IS men on the National Committee, whose signatures I have in my pocket saying that SO names on that roll are of delegates not honestly elected by the Republican voters of the respective state and ter ritories. Tainted Nomination I'sideaerved. "So long as we do not fairly discuss this matter, any man who goes out of this convention with the nomination will bear a tainted nomination and will neither deserve nor receive the sup port of tne American people." t "I do not say that all these charges are true," said Hadley, "I sat in that committee and know some of them are true. But true or false, let us meet them here. Let us see why IS mem bers of the committee believe these rotes fraudulent and void. "Just so sure as you neglect to meet that question and settle It honestly, the American people will say that you have failed In your duty. "We say that this convention should not proceed to the regular business of this meeting until It has decided this question, derided whether these ?hurges of corruption are true and purged the roll -of this convention of .hose fraudulently elected delegates." Hadley closed in a storm of applause and Governor Fort, of New Jersey, took the stage. As the cheering subsided at the con for Eoot Won by Taft Forces After Intense Debate, Marked by Acrimony and Alternating With Cheers and Jeers clusion of Governor Hadley's speech. Governor Fort took up the argument. Fort Says Convention Has Power. "There has never come before a areat National convention of this great party of ours." he said, "a question of more vital Importance man tne ques tion you now are called upon to de termine." In 1880, he said, when a question was raised as to the right of the conven tion to pass on Its temporary roll, the convention was declared to hold the power to determine these questions. Mr. Fort, as well as Governor Hadley, addressed his argument to the dele gates rather than to the chair. He did not get far in his argument bo fore the crowd began to laugh and Interrupt him with cries of, "Sit down." The New Jersey Governor made the mistake of answering the galleries, which clearly held a big preponderance of Taft sympathizers. He was constant ly In trouble after that. "Thafs right." he shouted, "try to make a man sit down when he is here fighting fraud. "I appeal to the members of this convention to assert their manhood." Fort shouted. "I appeal to. this con vention to assert its right and settle for Itself whether or not the roll shall be purged of the fraud that every man believes to be in It." Cheers from the Roosevelt delegates echoed throu,jn the hall as Fort con cluded. Cheers and Jeers Stop Payae. Floor JLeader Watson, of the Taft forces, then yielded 10 minutes of time to Representative Payne, of New York. "How about the Payne tariff bill?" shouted a voice from the gallery and a cheer, mixed with jeers, held up Payne's talk tor some time. Mr. Payne made historical argument to show that the convention could not possibly proceed to take any action without a temporary chairman. "Suppose this ' question Is put, who will vote on if!" asked Representative Payne. "Thieves, thieves." called out mem bers of the California delegation. "Shall the roil made up by the Na tional committee voter" he continued. Cries of "no. no," sounded from the hall. "Or the roll made up by the gentle man from MissouriT" Governor Hadley started forward. "Do you want me to answer that?" he asked. "Hadley, Halley," shouted some Roosevelt enthusiasts. "Precedent of 1864' Answered. "You see vou run right Into chaos." declared Payne. "Mr. Chairman, I am glad to know the Republican party," continued D ,.. .1.... mnA Tnr n..r t am opposed to going into the chaos business in tms convention at inis time." He sat down amid a round of ap plause. , When Floor Leader Watson took up the argument, the Taft forces gave a o,a vail J a ravlawafl lLnvm rn nr Hadley's proposition and the precedents ciiea oy mm. "Let me first answer the precedent of 1864," he said. "That was vhere the convention pre pared Its own temporary roll," Inter jected Hadley. "AtH ttrhv?" shouted Watson. "Tie- cause there was no National committee In existence. At this retort the Taft delegates went wild. Mr. Watson referred to Governor Hadley's statement that Senator Hoar in th. pntivAntinn nf 1S8& had let the convention pass on the conventions of organization. "That convention already bad Been organized." he said. "Senator Hoar ... .. .. Ahalvman nf the rflTlUPntton not of the National committee." Taft dele- gatea cheered vigorously. Watson Nominates Root.

Appeal Fresa Decision Overruled. "I appeal from the decision of the chair." shouted Hadley. "I second the motion." added Fort and Record in unison. "And I move that the motion be laid on the table," Interjected Watson. The convention was in an uproar, but Rosewater was not perturbed. "Under the ruling I have already made both of these motions are out of order." said Rosewater. ln a voice that carried only a few feet.

"The only duty I now have to per form," he said, "is to present the name of Elihu Root, a delegate from the State of New York. for temporary chairman. Are there any other nomi nations?" Wisconsin Man Names McGovern. Rosewater turned his gaze to the floor, where Henry A. Cochems. of Wisconsin, was on his feet. "Are nominations in order?" he de manded. - -They are." said Chairman Rosewa- Mr. Cochems was boosted to the stage and nominated Governor McGov ern, of Wisconsin, Job E. Hedges, of New York, then seconded the nomination of Root. Hedges was given a laugh and a ..1 Ha t(l XI r RoOt'S CX- perience as permanent chairman of the ew lorn ataie cwitdiiuub .. toga in 1910. "He was also temporary and perma- EOOSEVELT CANDIDATE WHO IS NARROWLY DEFEATED FOR TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN. lr;;T GOVERNOR FRANCIS C. nent chairman four years ago," said Hedges. "I have seen him in action and I believe he is an ideal man for the job." Mr. Hedges' effect on the convention was Instantaneous. Dry humor ans wered the remarks from Roosevelt del egates and repeatedly threw the con vention into shouts of laughter. Mr. Hedges quoted Colonel Ttoose velt's declaration that Elihu Root "Is the ablest man I have known In our Government service" and "the ablest man that has appeared in the public business of this or any other country." Roosevelt Cheers Suppressed. "I second the nomination of Elihu Root,'- he added-r-"the man whom Theo dore Roosevelt tells me Is the ablest man in public life." At the mention of Roosevelt's name the crowd gave a cheer, . but It was quickly suppressed. "You needn't hesltata to cheer Theo dore Roosevelt In my presence. . I cheered him for seven years and now I am Just taking a day off that's all," said Hedges. "I leave Elihu Root with you. He was good enough for Roosevelt; he is good enough for me." The delegates were on their feet, yelling, as Governor Hadley again took the platform. "I also wish to cite some particular authority," he began. "Four years ago the man the last speaker nominated said of the man I represent that he was the greatest American of this or any other age." It now became apparent that the Roosevelt leaders hoped by supporting McGovern to secure the support of the La Follette delegates In trying to-galn control of the temporary organization. Governor Johnson, of California, sec onding McGovern's nomination, wa'S greeted with a storm of cheers which was followed by a wave of hisses as he declared: t "California will cast 26 votes for Theodore Roosevelt." Johnsosi Serve A'otlce. "Here and now I serve notice in be half of the State of California that in this convention there will be 26 votes on every question that concerns that state. Governor Johnson said Governor Mc Govern would give everyone a square deal. ... "And I want to serve notice right here and now,'" he added, "that we deny the right, the great Republican State of California denies the right, the rank and file of the Republican party deny the right of a moribund National com mittee to select a chairman for us. We deny the right of any set of repudiated men to do this and we won't tolerate lt-" , v, Johnson was cheered anew as ne climbed down from the platform. William Flinn. Roosevelt leader from Pennsylvania, was next to be heard. He was applauded "I am instructed," he said, by 66 votes out of 76 In the State of Penn sylvania to second the nomination of Governor McGovern. Gentlemen, the Pennsylvania delegation is the result of a new political method." This statement was greeted with jeers and laughter. Payne and Barnes of New York and Fairbanks of Indiana, In a center aisle leading the prolonged guffaw. Fliaa Asked i "Will Yoa Bolt" Flinn turned to Payne and Barnes and smiled. 'My friends from New York have not experienced this new method." he shouted. "These new methods are the rules of the people, direct primaries. "Will you support the nominees asked a delegate, but Flinn made no reply. "Will you bolt?" cried a voice. Flinn did not reply. "Unless you get 540 votes, untainted without fraud " he began. Cries of "we'll get them," broke in. "Unless you get 540 clean votes In the convention for your candidate for temporary chairman, I doubt whether my constituents in Pennsylvania will support your action." "Will you bolt?" again demanded voices. , . "I don't want you to understand, returned Flinn. "that I am notifying the convention that I intend to bolt. Flinn supported McGovern. Chanters Interrupt Hemy. Francis J. Heney. of California, made his way to the platform amid cheers from the Roosevelt delegates, led by California. , i . , "The question before you, he said, "Is whether a National convention shall undertake to prepare a roll of delegates which shall bind the members In the election of a temporary chairman. nut don't vou realize it is only the rst step in the proceedings which shall eat delegates. 60 of whom I know per sonally, have no more right to vote than the men outside the door of- this hall." Taft delegates then began a con tinuous chant of "Root, Root, Root." Pandemonium broke loose and out of a storm of Jeers, cheers and catcalls, came the zhou:: ' v "Are you going to Baltimore, too?

' the National committee led by 'Big Steve," of Colorado." Friends of Stevenson Enraged. Heney got no further for a time. The hall was attain In an uproar. Heney stood red-faced and perspiring at the front of the L-tage. His reference to A. M. Stevenson, of Colorado, who held a proxy in the National committee, threw the friends of that gentleman Into a rage. "Let's listen to Mr. Heney. he s harmless," said. Chairman Rosewater, pounding with his gavol. "I've as much time as you have, shouted Heney at the delegates who were yelling and hissing. "We. are in free America, not Mex ico," resumed Heney. "That's why they lei. you in here; you are a Democrat." called a voice. "Led bv 'Big Steve." I repeat." shouted Heney. amid a new outburst.

"Tell us something more about "Big Steve." " shouted Mayor Hellman. of Evansville, Ind. "I'll refer you to Murray Crane," re sponded Heney. "You've got all the advertisement there is in. it," 'Shouted Delegate Jerry Woodet, of Indiana, "why don't you quit?" ' "You might as well hear me out," said Heney, "for you've got to hear me if it takes all Summer." Finally Heny resumed and still was interrupted by frequent hisses and Jeers. "Before voting." he said, "It Is pro posed that a majority be secured for Mr. Root by using the roll framed by the National committee and by using the 68 fraudulent votes placed In this convention by that committee." Respectful Hearlns; Commanded. The uproar broke out anew and in the midst of It Sergeant-at-Arms Stone stepped to the front and said: "The chairman wishes me to an nounce that unless the speaker is treated with respect, those who treat him with disrespect will be rem(ded from the building." "Those 70 names," continued Heney, "placed on that roll under the leader ship of 'Big Steve," Crane and Penrose, will give control of the credentials committee to the men who have per petrated this theft of delegates." Again a storm of hisses, broken in an instant by the cheers from some of the Roosevelt delegates. "In other words." said Heney, "the proposition is this: Shall a corrupt Judge sit on his own case in this con vention? I appeal to you Taft men who don't want to wreck the party, you who want to see Taft elected, if he Is nominated, 1 appeal to your com mon sense and to your honor to let a man . be elected here as temporary chairman who is not on either side in this controversy. Again I appeal to every Taft man who does not want to see his party wrecked tomorrow to vote for Governor McGovern. Ohloan Supports HcGeversu "From the home state of William H. Taft.'" said John J. Sullivan, a Roose velt delegate from Ohio, "In behalf of the 3,4 Roosevelt delegates, I support Governor McGovern." Charles H. Carey, of Oregon, another Roosevelt delegate, followed In Indors ing McGovern. Senator Bradley, of Kentucky, fol lowed Carey. He seconded the nomina tion of Root. 'A more outrageous lot of contests were never seen than those presented to the National committee," said the Senator. A shout from the floor inter rupted him. "Did you vote for Lorimer?" . In a burst of disorder. Bradley clam ored to be heard and shouted: "Yes, I voted for Lorimer. and when I did I voted for a man 10,000 times better than you." The turmoil again broke loose. . "The State of Kentucky will never sink so low as to take moral advice from Francis J. Heney," said Bradley. Senator Bradley said the South gave no Republican electoral votes because the Republican party had "cowardly deserted her and left her to her fate." v Bradley KMin Steam Roller. "Theodore Roosevelt once ran the steam roller over me eight times," said Senator Bradley. "Bet your life, he ought to," called a voice In the galery. "If you are going to decide now be tween the conviction of rascals and the seating of rascals In the United States Senate," said Governor Vessey. "we are ready to get on the right side The time has come to get together for the saving of the Republican party. South Dakota calls on you to help put Governor McGovern In the chair. Henry Allen, of Kansas, seconded tne etts Roosevelt stage. . . ,' . "We want a square . aeai, snouteu Hart. "We Roosevelt men who won in Massachusetts." . The sensation of the seconding speeches came when Walter L. Houser. of Wisconsin. Senator La Follette s campaign manager, declared the Wis consin delegation, ooeying tne w.oaoo Tji Fnllette. had decided to support no candidate for temporary chairman.

Sherman demanded to be heard and the disorder which had been so prevalent during the session broke out anew. Meantime Delegate Gates, or Cali fornia, had the floor, protesting in ad vance against the votes of the dele gates from the Ninth Alabama District. Rosewater paid no attention to him. In the meantime Cochems, of Wiscon sin, who first nominated Governor Mo Govern, said the delegation vote IS to' 11 against the presentation of a can didate. , . 'As I announced at first, T he said. "I presented the name of Governor Mc Govern In my individual capacity as a La Follette delegate from Wisconsin.
