gan what it was -hoped would be its
final session preparatory to presenting
a report to the full committee. It had
agreed tentatively upon all the lmpor
tant plans except those relating to the
tariff and the finances.
The principal contest of the day was
over the tariff declaration and dealt
with the definition of the measure of
protection.
One of the planks presented reiter
ated the contention of 190S that the
protection should be equivalent to the
difference between tne cost or proauc-
tion in the United States and abroad,
while another undertook to substitute
for thin a declaration that the protec
lion should be sufficient to maintain
the standard of living prevailing
among the laboring people of tne
United States.

The second suggestion was presented

who ursed the great difficulty of as
certain lng the exact cost of production
abroad, a fact which, he said, rendered
the phrase meaningless. The substitute
proposed by him was attacked by
members of the sub-committee on the
ground that It might be construed Into
a surrender of the position taken four
years ago.
On other points of the tariff there
was little difference of opinion. ah

A majority of the sub-committee ap

who pose as Taft men, they must go

they have been fighting for. They said
the main object of the meeting had been
to beat Roosevelt. They said that as
Taft was clearly the winner, it was the
duty of the Taft winners to win with
Taft. and not put up somebody else. The
old argument was made that to name
Taft is to lose, but there is a group of
men who will have a lot to say in the
future proceedings of this convention
who favor orderly procedure and regu
larity. It was pointed out by these men

Far be It from any person to assert

CAUSTIC TELEGRAM SENT
i - .
Oregon Man Called Upon to Explain
Refusal to Support Roosevelt
Programme William Likely
to Be ' Committeeman. -
Accusing him of betrayal of his
trust and "a violation of the letter and
spirit of the law and of your oath of
office," W. S. U'Ren last night tele
graphed Thomas McCusker. member, of
the Oregon delegation in the Republi
can National convention, demanding
an explanation for McCusker's action in
refusing to support the Roosevelt "pro
gramme" in the convention. Mr. U'Ren
was especially caustic In his criticism
of McCusker's action in voting for
Ralph E. Williams for National com
mitteeman and inquired what was of
fered McCusker to induce him to "be
tray the Progressive Republicans of
Oregon to the little brother of the
trusts and the enemies of the initiative,
referendum and recall."
Mr. U'Ren's telegram to Mr. Mc
Cusker follows:
I voted for you and have talked with other
Republicans woo did because you were
professed progressive, supporter of the prl
mary law and ot La Follette. Roosevelt
was chosen by the Republicans of Oregon
when you - were elected. Every schoolboy
knows it was your duty in every phase of
tne struggle at all time and In every hon
orable way to aid Roosevelt's nomination.
We are agreed that your failure to vote for
Mctiovern was a betrayal of our trust In
you as well as a violation of the letter and
spirit of the law and of your oath of office.
Every schoolboy knows It was your duty to
prevent any steam-roller organisation of the
convention founded on arbitrary power and
refusal to lnoulre Into clear cases of fraud
on which the whole United States has made
up its mind. It is reported here that you
have voted for Williams as Oregon's National
committeeman. He is a Taft reactionary
and stand-patter. We who voted for you
would like to know what has been oxierea
to induce you to betray the progressive Re
publicans of Oregon to the little brother of
tne trusts and the enemies or the initiative.
referendum and recall.
Roosevelt Partisans Disappointed.
The course of Mr. McCusker In the
Chicago convention admittedly has
been disappointing to Roosevelt par
tisans in this state. He has refused
to follow the "programme" mapped out
by the ex-President and his managers
in their efforts to cature and control
the convention. In the two test votes
that have been taken and by which the
relative strength of the opposing forces
was definitely determined, Mr. McCus
ker failed to "deliver the goods' as
they were expected by the supporters
of the ex-President.
To the Roosevelt people, the conduct
of Mr. McCusker since the convention
was assembled Monday has been only
succession of disappointments. The
first disappointment came in the elec
tion of temporary chairman, when Mr.
McCusker failed to vote for Governor
McGovern, of Wisconsin, the candidate
of the Roosevelt supporters. In the
election of temporary chairman Mr.
McCusker did not vote.

Some Not Surprised.
Neither did Mr. McCusker measure
p to the expectations of the Roose
velt forces Wednesday when he voted
to table Governor Deneen s resolution
denying to contested delegates the
right to vote on- the membership of the
credentials committee or on the adop
tion of Its report - The vote on the
motion to table the resolution, which,
if adopted, would have given Roose
velt control of the situation, was 563
to 610. .
But it was the vote Mr. McCusker
gave Ralph E. Williams for re-election
as National committeeman Wednesday
that caused Mr. U'Ren to forward his
telegram of censure yesterday. To
some the support of Williams by Mr.
McCusker was a surprise. To others it
was not unexpected.
McCusker Free Lance.
Prior to departing for Chicago, Mr.
McCusker refused to commit himself
as to his probable action in the con
vention further than to say that he
would fulfill his pledge to the voter,
of Oregon, by voting for Roosevelt for
President and at all times demand a
"fair, square and honest deal" for
everybody at the hands of the conven
tion. He would not bind himself In
advance to support any "programme,"
regardless of whether.it came from the
Taft or the Roosevelt camps. Aside
from being obligated to vote for the
ex-President to head the ticket Mc
Cusker explained that he desired to
go to the convention as a free lance.
So far as the National committeeman
for Oregon was concerned Mr. Mc
Cusker had permitted it to become
known that he was a tentative candi
date for the office himself. He did
this, as he explained to friends, to be
In a good position to withhold his sup
port from any of the half dozen as
pirants for tne place. iut mat Mc
Cusker eventually would support WU
Hams for re-election has been the sub
ject of gossip in political circles ever
since McCusker's election as one oi tne
ten delegates was decided.
Williams Men Confident.
Williams has not been re-elected yet;
but he probably will be. The- delega.
tlon has taken only one vote on com
mitteeman. With Hall absent Camp
bell, Carey, McCusker and Smith voted
for Williams, while Ackerson, Boyd,
Bynon. Coe and Swift voted for Boyd
Hall is a close personal friend of Mc
Cusker and is expected to line up for
Williams. This will give Williams five
votes and bis supporters are sanguine
of securing the one more vote needed
to re-elect
Besides it has been agreed by the
delegation from the beginning to elect
for committeeman some man wno
would be in harmony with the party's
nominee for President- On this basis,
the chances of Williams have increased
In proportion as the Taft forces have
demonstrated that they control the
convention. The probable elimination
of Roosevelt as the candidate of the
convention will reduce Boyd's chances
materially. If Taft should not be re
nominated, the President and his sup
porters will dictate the nominee. In
either event Williams undoubtedly will
be the beneficiary. Even- this early in
the developments of the convention
his re-election is regarded more than
probable.
