Senator Disregarded When tTrgins;

BT HARRY J. BROWN.
1 CHICAGO, June 10. SpeciaL) If
Colonel Roosevelt had followed the ad
vice of Senator Borah, of Idaho, and
turned a deaf ear to Governor John
son and Francis J. Heney. of Califor-
; - nla, be might by now have been nomi
nated for president.
But the Colonel, after making up his
' mind to follow Borah's suggestions, has
' - repeatedly followed the more radical
I Heney-Johnson Idea, until today he is
. eliminated and the convention is two
days behind schedule.
Before the convention opened Borah
advised against, opposing Root for tem
porary chairman, but Heney and John
i son insisted that the nght should start
' at the drop of the hat. Root was
elected, as Borah said he would be, and
" there was a rollcall which showed for
the first time that Roosevelt lacked 70
of having a majority. Up to the time
, that rollcall was completed no one. not
even the Roosevelt leaders, knew what
J Roosevelt's strength actually was, but
the rollcall demonstrated it to a rea
: sonable certainty. Senator Borah, fear-
lug Rooaevelt did not have a majority,
2 warned him against this fight, but
i Roosevelt yielded to Heney and John-
J soa and his strength, or rather weak'
ness. was demonstrated.
Borah's Advice VaheedoL
Borah also advised against any at
- tempt to "purge" the temporary roll
J until after the committee on creden-
tlala had reported, but again Roose-
; velt took the advice of Heney and
- Johnson, and another rollcall followed.
2 showing not only that RooBevelt was
74 votes shy. but also that Taft or the
anti-Roosevelt forces were holding to-
t gather. In other words, on the second
rollcall Roosevelt was six votes weaker
than on the first.
It is plainly manifest that If Roose
j velt had followed Borah's advice and
. allowed the convention to proceed in
regular order to organize there would
have been no rollcalis to show the
Colonel's weakness, and there would
. have been two more days in which to
work for delegates. Beyond all doubt.
" the general opinion up to Tuesday was
that Roosevelt would be nominated.
' Even Taft managers feared It, and
wobbling delegates were gradually go-
- Ing over to the third-term candidate.
1 How many more would have gone by
- now. had there been no rollcall, cannot
be reckoned, but it Is certain that
Roesevelt today would have been for
midable if be had not disregarded the
. advice of Borah and followed the ad
- vice of his two hot-headed California
t supporters. But the Colonel was itch
ing for a fight. He was Impatient to
"get into the fray, and his elimination
is the result.. Now, if he bolts in
"effort to obliterate his own blunders.
,-Jie will not have rfle support of Senator
Borah or the Idaho delegation. And
, practically every level-headed Roose
- velt leader will stand with Borah. The
Roosevelt bolt will attract only the
Heney-Johnson-FUnn type of insur
gents. '
Coleael Sends Back Baiters.
In one instance only has Rooaevelt
f.l TinaWm a v cr Afl,( n anil .hat
' only after having ignored it for a time.
', At last night's conference Borah urged
Roosevelt to send his members into the
' credentials committee to hear all con
- testa and postpone the fight until the
- report of that committee was before
the convention. Soon, however, Heney
snd Flinn bolted the committee, rushed
to Roosevelt and were commended for
their course, though they gained noth
ing by this bolt. Roosevelt could not
make It the basis of a bolt from the
convention, and after reflection the
Roosevelt men were today sent back to
the committee.
Last night's farcical performance
could have been averted had Roosevelt
not yielded to Heney and Flinn. It is
apparent that Roosevelt's predicament
today is largely due to the fact that he
accepted the advice or Heney. Johnson
and Flinn and rejected the calmer judg
ment of Senator Borah.

SMITH VOTES FOR TAFT
Oregon Pelegates' Names Confused.
Swift's Voice for T- R.
CHICAGO, June 20. (Special.) It
was ststed erroneously in the dispatch
yesterday that Pelegate J. N. Smith, of
Salem, had voted with the Roosevelt
forces yesterday on Watson's motion
to table the Peneen resolution and that
Delegate A. V. Swift had voted with
the Taft forces. The reverse was
true. Swift voting no. with Roosevelt,
and Smith voting aye.
The Oregon delegation, as stated, di
vided evenly and the confusion arose
from the fact that when Smith's name
was called Swift answered and vice
versa.
After the rollcall was recorded the
Oregon delegation went to the tally
clark and had the vote corrected.

is having his troubles. Dennis was

when be reached Chicago be began to

Dennis came to Chicago as a recep
tive candidate for Ralph Williams' job.
He found sentiment strong for Roose
velt and Roosevelt was then the fa
vorite In betting. He knew also that
the Oregon delegation waa instructed
for Roosevelt. So he jumped to what
seemed to be the popular and winning
side. Now Dennis discovers the error

feat Roosevelt, but it greatly preferi
not to go there. The one object has
apparently been safely accomplished.
though the Job of Interring Colonel
Roosevelt In his political grave has
been attempted several times, only to
be succeeded by a sudden and untimely
resurrection. Now the great problem
worrying the anti-Roosevelt- leaders y,
what to do with Taft.
Mr. Barnes, of New York, Is pounding
away industriously- on a Hughes move
ment. Mr. Barnes is a mighty astute
person and he - may or may not be
serious about Hughes, but he is very
serious about eliminating both Roose
velt and Taft. f Roosevelt will stay
eliminated. Taft will not be nominated.
In other words, Taft will be dropped
overboard with great expedition if
Roosevelt does not set about delib
erately to prevent it. His purpose. If
he has it, to force the nomination or
Taft would be partly revenge and
partly to make feasible his Independent
candidacy. If Hughes or Hadley or
Cummins er La Follette should be
nominated, Mr. Roosevelt would doubt
less abandon his intention to form I
very select progressive party.
It is a situation that requires cau
tion, sagacity and finesse. The Taft
leaders may find a way to let go of
the Taft bear's tail. They are trying
hard, very hard. Indeed. The prospeot
that Taft will be nominated lessens
day by day. It might be and would
be difficult to give mm tne nomination
if the leaders wanted him to have it.
It ought not to be impossible to pre
vent it when the leaders, or some of
them, certainly want him not to have
it. It would not be at all- Impossible

velt might be, and easily could be. the
Immediate beneficiary of a slip or

CONTESTS HEARD AGAIN
CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE SITS
FAR INTO NIGHT.
California Roosevelt Delegates Fail
to Appear and Sergeant-at-Arns
Seeks) Them.
CHICAGO, June 20. (Special.) The
credentials committee aat this after?
noon and far Into the night hearing the
claims of the contesting delegates who
had failed before the National commit
tee. The first action taken after two
houra preliminary debate was the seat
ing of the Taft delegates from the
Ninth district of Alabama. This was
accomplished by a vote of S4 to 1J with
out any manifestation of feeling. The
Roosevelt members absent were Fran
cis J. Heney, California; E. G. Carrlng
ton, Jr., Maryland; S. X. Ray, South
Dakota.
The Arkansas' and Arizona - cases
were taken up In succession, the re
sult being unchanged from that in the
National committee.
The California case, over which a
bitter fight was expected, was called,
but the Roosevelt delegates and at
torneys did not appear. Mr. Halbert,
of Minnesota, said the Roosevelt men
were willing to have it decided with
out searching further for the Koose
velt contestants.
"No. we won't do that," said Chair
man Devlne. seconded by several Taft
members of the committee. "This Is
the case In which the National com
mittee has been most severely orit
Icised and we will not place ourselves
In the position of taking snap Judg
ment.
The Taft delegates and attorneys
were on hand, but the committee de
clined to take up the case. The ser-
geant-at-arms was directed to seek
the California Roosevelt delegates.
The Florida cases .were then called.
Again no Roosevelt delegates or at
torneys appeared. The committee
unanimously seated' the IS conteated
Taft delegates. '
The Georgia contests, involving 28
Taft delegates, who were seated by a
vote of 28 to 4 by the National com-;
mittee, were next called. Chairman De
vlne insisting on taking up each con
test that the National committee had
passed on.

Virtually Suspended.
COMPROMISE- IS DENIED

Colonel Asserted.
CHICAGO, June 20. The convention
headquarters of President Taft virt
ually suspended all effort tonight, so
far as working among the delegates
to the convention was concerned. Al
though the constantly recurring gossip
of a compromise candidate disturbed
the Taft managers at times, they pro
fessed to be absolutely confident that
the delegates who voted with President
Taft on the first two votes in the con
vention would be firm to the end.
Director McKinley emphatically de
clared that president Taft would be re
Taft Controls, Says McKinley.
"It is perfectly natural," he added,
that simultaneously with the general j
knowledge of the' complete defeat of
Roosevelt, many of his former follow
ers are talking with sufficient energy
to create rumors of 'compromise' can
didates. - These rumors have nothing
back of them except the general de
sire to draw attention away from the
one great accomplishment of the - Re
publican National convention to date
the overwhelming defeat of Roosevelt.
"Ther-e is no one who questions Taft's
complete control- of the situation, and
there Is not the slightest possibility of
a 'compromise' candidate. There will
be no such candidate. -
Contests to Be Presented.
"The extended consideration of the
contested cases by the committee on
credentials is a further evidence of the
complete control of every phase of the
situation by President Taft. It Is his
wish that every opportunity for the
complete presentation of these cases
should be given; that the country may
know without doubt of the absolute
lack of foundation for the extravagant
charges of "robbery and fraud' which
are being shouted by Roosevelt as he
disappears in the oblivion of defeat."
Juvenile Court's Acts- Final.
ALBANY, Or., June 20. (Special)
That the action of a Juvenile Court in
this state is final and that no appeal
can be taken from such a court was
the decision of Judge Kelly in the
state Circuit Court here today. He
dismissed the appeal In the matter of
Edna Purdy and others, dependent
children. This case was appealed from
the Juvenile Court of Linn County and
Deputy District Attorney ' Hill filed
a motion to dismiss the appeal on the
ground that the statute creating Ju
venile Courts In this state does not
provide a right of appeal. The matter
was argued yesterday afternoon and
Judge Kelly sustained the motion this
morning. -
CONVENTION SIDELIGHTS
Nomination of ;' "Honestly" Elected
Majority Would Be Accepted, or -One
Tendered by New "Pro
gressive" Movement.
CHICAGO.'June 20. Theodore Roose.
velt. before his political advisers and
personally selected number or dele
gates Instructed for him, late' this aft
ernoon read a statement of his posi
tion in the Republican nomination fight
and left It to them to decide what po
sition they would take in the struggle.
Colonel Roosevelt called before him
two delegates from each of the states
which had supported him and the
leaders in bis campaign. After out
lining his nosltlon. declaring that he
would continue his fight on principles
he had outlined from the beginning,
the Colonel left the room and the dele
gates and leaders sat down to delib
erate what should be done.
Colonel Roosevelt's statement In full
was:
"The time has come when I feel that
must make certain statements not
merely to honestly elected members of
the Republican National convention out
to the rank and file of the Republican
party and to the honest people of the
entire Nation. I went into this fight for
certain great principles. At the mo
ment I can only serve these principles
by continuing to bear the personal re
sponsibility which their advocacy has
brought to me.
"On behalf of these principles, I made
my appeal straight to the people them
selves. I went before them, I made my
argument in full; and every move I
made .was In the open without conceal
ment of any kind. The opposition to
me was extraordinarily bitter, for I
was opposed by the practically solid po
litical bosses, with back of them the
practically solid phalanx of the big,
conscienceless beneficiaries of special
privilege In every form and of course
the many big newspapers which are
controlled by or in the Interest of the
bosses and special privilege.
"Nevertheless in the appeal to the
people, I won.
"In many of the Republican states
and of the Democratic states, where
there is a large and real Republican
party, primaries of different kinds were
held and a substantial expression of the
will of the people was obtained. In
these primary states some 30.000,000
sidering what they do it will be well
to keep in mind the remark mad in
private by one of the National commit
teemen, wbo, when asked why they
had stolen so many more delegates
than were needed for their purpose,
answered that It would enable the
credentials committee to make a show
of generosity by unseating some, while
retaining a number amply sufficient
to accomplish all the ends they have
in view.
Whole Action Declared Taluted.
"Moreover. It is well to remember
that the fraud " Is equally great and
equally reprehensible whether the '
fraudulent delegates actually vote on
the nomination for President or
whether they are simply used to cre
ate a situation which renders it un
necessary tor them to vote on the nom
ination for President. If the roll is
not purged in view of these fraudulently-elected
delegates, the whole
election of the convention Is tainted.
"The committee on rules has Just,
against the protest of the ' progressive
members, provided for the perpetua
tion of the National committee in the
form responsible for scandalous out
rages which have at this moment
brought the Republican party to the
breaking point and they have ex
plicitly refused to reoognise the prin
ciples of popular Presidential pri
maries and have made the National
committee supreme OT-e.r the people in
"Unf orUiuately, in our political life,
the unscrupulous man who committs
wrongs such ' as these can usually
count on having some respectable men
support him and other respectable men
oppose him, but cease their opposi
tion at the point when it would be
come really effective.
In this connection, the unscrupu
lous men who are the leaders have al
ready received support from the for
mer class of respectable men ami they
count upon seeing representatives of
the latter class, who have hitherto
voted against them, fear to take the
decisive step of sundering connection
with the fraudulent convention Itself.
"Such are the facts about the Na
tional convention as now constituted.
I decline any longer to be bound by
any action It may take. I decline to ,
regard as binding any nomination It ,
may make. I don't regard success- ;
ful fraud and deliberate political theft '
as constituting a title to party regu- ;
larity, or a claim to the support of j
any honest man of any party. !
Peacemeal Pnrglng Opposed. i
"I hope that the honestly elected
majority will at once Insist upon the !
Immediate purging of the roll in its j
entirety, and not peacemeal, by the (
convention. If this purging Is not ae- 1
compllshed, I nope the honestly elected
delegates will decline all further con-
nection with a convention whose ac- '
nun is now aeiernuaea ana nss nuner
to been determined by a majority
which is made a majority only by the
action of the fraudulent delegates
whom the convention has refused - to
strike from the rolls. If the leaders .
of the honestly elected majority dis
agree with me In this matter and
wish, for any cause, fa defer for the i
moment this action, then I most earn- '
estly hope that at least they will in-
sist on the consideration of the cases
of these fraudulent delegates in block
and not separately. (
"We cannot afford to pardon a thief
on condition that he surrenders half
the stolen goods. j
"If 'the honastly elected majority of 1
the convention choose to proceed with
business and to nominate me as the I
candidate of the real Republican
voters, the rank and file of the Repub- party, I shall accept. If some among

the remainder choose to Inaugurate a
movement to nominate me for the
Presidency as a progressive on a pro
gressive platform and if In such event
the general feeling among progressives
favors my "being nominated, I shall
press themselves.
"Mr. Taft's strength, as indicated by
the two roll calls already taken, con
sisted -chiefly (aside from his 80 stol
en delegates) of the nearly solid dele
gations from the territories and from
the Southern States In which there is
no real Republican party South Caro
line, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkan
sas, Mississippi,- Louisiana and of the
Northern States like New York, where
the people had no choice to express
themselves at primaries and where the
delegates were picked by the bosses.
In spite of these odds against me,
I obtained a clear majority of all the
delegates elected to the convention. In
"Personal" support Not Desired.
"In either case I shall make my ap
peal to every honest citizen in the Na
tion, and I shall fight the campaign
through, win or lose, even if I do not
get a single electoral vote. I don't
wish a single man to support me from
any personal feeling for me. I have
nothing to offer any man; any man
who supports me will do so without
hope of gain and at the risk of per
sonal loss and discomfort. But if,
having this In view, those fervent in
this great fight for the rule of the
people and for social and industrial
justice, which baa now also become a
clear-cut fight for honesty against

that If the people decided against me
I would have nothing to say; but that
if they decided for me and the poli
ticians then robbed me of the victory.
would not silently and tamely ac
quiesce. It was already evident that
my opponents, with Mr. Taft's en
couragement, intended to beat ma by
to lead the fight, I will do so.
"There can oe no cause for which it
is better worth whilei to fight, none
in which 'it is of less consequence
what happens to the individual him
self, provided only that he valiantly
does his duty in the forward move

HICAGO, June 20. (Special.) Of
,all the false alarms that ever was
injected 'into the proceedings of a
National convention, William flinn, of
Pittsburg, judged by his actions teda.t.
Is the biggest and most disappointing.
Flinn was rushed to Chicago by Roose
velt as the "white: hope" of his cause.
Flinn may - be a star in a political
seance in a back room, with the lights
turned low and blinders op the specta
tors, bnt as a fighter in the conven
tion hall he has been a Urge green
lemon.
Flinn came to Chicago heralded on
the posters as "Brutal Bill,'' a whirl
wind of destruction, snorting fire and
brimstone, kicking down whale blocks
of buildings biting people on the legs
and eating thera alive.
Up to data he has been about as
"bad" as a pale anaemlo professor of

" tion has to do with a reporter as-

matter over quickly.
WHEN Francis J. Heney, of San
Francisco arose to address the
convention there can be no question but
he purposed, single-handed, to exter
minate all the Taft delegates, seat the
immortal 7 male contestants waiting
disconsolately at the gates, nominate
Theodore Roosevelt, emit a tremendous
roar that would rock the Coliseum and
then declare the convention adjourned.
But when he saw there were ladles
present as delegates on the floor, his
heart evidently failed him.
