COLONEL
RENEWS
! CHARGE OF THEFT
Outlook Editorial Says Taft
Could Not Have Won With
out Stolen Votes.
"CRITICAL ISSUE" RAISED
State Laws Declared Nullified by
Committee and Convention Only
Remedy, He Says, Is to Break
Relations With System.
NEW TORK. July 12. Theodore
Roosevelt further discusses the seat
ing of the contested delegates in the
Republican National convention at Chi
cago In an editorial entitled, "Thou
Shalt Not Steal," which appears In the
current Issue of the Outlook- He says
In part: . .
"The American people are entitled to
know that the charge of stealing the
Chicago convention of 112 is more
than campaign recrimination and that
' the frauds complained of are mucn
i more serious than the mere repetition
5 of loose practices which might have
found unfortunate preceoents in oumc
previous conventions of both parties.
-Seriously and literally. President
Taft'a renomtnation was stolen for him
from the American people and the
ratification or rejection of that nomin
ation raises the critical issue whether
votes or fraud shaU determine the
selection of American Presidents.
"President Taft wn. nominted by a
majority of barely 21 votes, and two
of these were publicly raped at the
last moment from Massachusetts. If.
therefore, more than 19 or 20 of his
votes were demonstrably fraudulent,
all claim to an honest majority dis
appears. The demonstration can be
made without touching on a single
honestly debatable case.
"It is sufficient to consider only-the
four confessedly Indefensible cases of
California, Arizona, Washington and
Texas, which alone wipe out the mar
gin. All that could be added from the
other cases would only Increase the
Roosevelt majority of the honest con
vention. But I wish it distinctly un
derstood that many of these other
cases were as clear as the California
case itself.
Three of these cases were a direct
asault on the right of the people to
elect their own delegates at primaries,
since in them a few score politicians
decided that the voters as a whole had
no right themselves to decide whom
they wished to see nominated. In the
California case the delegates to the
National convention" were elected by
direct vote at state-wide preferential
primaries. The National committee
first, and then the National Republic
an convention, nullified the state law
and therefore, by inference, all state
primary laws.
' "In Arlaona and Washington the con
trol of the state conventions depended
on which of two rival delegates were
seated from certain counties, the one
et elected by Republican voters at
primaries regularly called and the
other set arbitrarily appointed by bolt
ing minorities of both committees. The
state -committees, in each case seated
the appointed delegates, and the Na
tional committee approved that ao
tion. , . .
"President Taft was nominated by
21 votes or by 19. if the two from
Massachusetts are omitted, which were
counted only by the extraordinary rul
ing of Chairman Root that when a
delegate answers "present and not vot
ing"' his alternate shall be called to
vote, always providing that alternate
Is a Taft man and the delegate a
Roosevelt man. S
"The cases here discussed cover In
their narrowest application 30 votes
California, two; Arizona, six; Washing
ton. 14. and Texas at large, eight. The
change of these 30 votes would have
defeated Taft; they would have re
versed all the Important actions of the
convention. Several of the district
cases from Texas are Involved in the
same ruling as that which was made
In the case of the delegates-at-large
and are quite as flagrant.
-I have merely cited a few cases, so
conspicuous that the facts cannot be
' ' truthfully disputed, and sufficient in
, number to show by actual figures that
" ; the nomination of Mr. Taft could not
I ; have been procured" except by their in
i elusion.
' "The men responsible for the theft
' of the delegates In question cared
- ..n fnr th rie-hts or wrongs
; of any of the cases. They were con-
cerned only with getting the requisite
number of delegates. They did steal
t as many as were needed; they would
, have stolen as many more as might
' have been needed. .
"No free people can afford to cubmlt
to government by theft. If the will of
the people is defeated by fraud, then
. the people don't rule. If those who
are thus foisted on them represent the
special Interests Instead of the people,
' then the Interests and not the people
rule. When the people are denied
their only thoroughly efficient wea-
pon, the direct primary, against this
; usurpation, as was done by the ruling
i t ritfnpnla nanoft. then under the
system thus established the people
cannot rule. The only remedy Is to
break from the system.
"The same arbitrary powers have
been conferred on the National com
mittee that were exercised this time
and that committee which Is to act in
1916 ia already elected. It Is com
posed of men the majority of whom,
under the lead of one of their num
ber, Mr. Barnes, have already shown
by their votes In the convention that
they are prepared to repeat In 19H
the usurpation of 1912.
"If the American people are really

ENGLISH LABOR RESTLESS
' Premier Says It Is Xot Part of Gov
ernment to Interfere.
! invnnv Wv 11, (Special.) H. H.
Asquhh, Prime Minister of England,
received this week a deputation from
the Associated Chambers of Commerce
on the question of labor unrest. The
remedies suggested by different speak
ers were the throwing of financial re
sponsibility on trades unions, the pre
vention of Intimidation, and compulsory
arbitration. Stress was laid on vio
lence resulting from peaceful picket;
Ing.
Mr. Asqulth. Interposing, said there
was now less violence in labor disputes
than there was 20 years ago.
Replying on the main question, the
n i i. ...KoT-iVioH tn the view

that it was undesirable the Government
should concern Itseu in mautinw u..
putes. It ought not to be part of the
function of a Government to assume
the post of conciliator when these dis
putes occurred. He and his colleagues
had never accepted such duty, except
as a last resort and when the Interests
of the nation were Involved. That had
happened in the coal strike.
Unrest was in some part due to a
rise in the price of food. He was afraid
they must put aside compulsory arbi
tration, as It was not favored by either
masters or men. The Canadian act
provided for an Impartial Investigation
before the men were locked out or en
tered upon a strike, and Sir- George
Asqulth had agreed that, that act had
worked well.
The government would carefully in

I IliG HILARITY
REIGNS SUPREME
Like Celebration Unknown in
City's History Horses -in
Grills.
POLICE BAND IS LEADER
Bankers and Business Men Join Song
and Dance as Crowds Bring to
N'oisy Climax Demonstration
' of Joyous Week.
Old King Hilarity in ell his magio
glory and fury got a strangle hold on
Portland Thursday night transforming
the streets into blazing avenues of
Jollity and the hotels and other public
places Into veritable palaces or tne
wildest variety of merriment, bringing
to a noisy clomax the street celebra-,
tlons which have kept Portland's busi
ness section In an uproar since the keys
of the city were turned over to the
Elks.
Never in history has Portland seen
such a celebration and never have the
streets resounded with such rounds of
wild Western hilarity.
The much-loved but sometimes badly
behaved old "King" was ushered into
the streets by the police band, - which
marched up and down the streets early
in the evening, announcing In no un
certain manner the fact that there was
to be no limit to .-the hilarity of the
evening.
Indians Swoop Down.
When the DOllce band marched up
the street playing a lively piece of rag
time music the crowd took the "tip"
and the fun began. Following the band
for an hour was a howling mob or ceie-
brators doing all kinds of- wild Texas
Tommy and turkey trot dances and hav
ing a big time In general.
ifo sooner had the police started the
ball to rolling than down swooped a
bunch of cowboys on ponies, followed
bv a band of Indians and took the town
by storm. The whole business district.
inside the court of honor ana ouisiao,
within and without the hotels and
buildings and, in fact, everywhere was
transformed into a scene or real who.
West disorder.
For a couDle of hours the cowooys
and Indians who were a part of the
Pendleton bunch of Elks were the cen
ter of attraction and they put .np - a
great show.
Business Men Are Playful.
On the cow nonies were: T. D. Taylor,
Sheriff of Umatilla County; George Per
ringer. a big wneatgrower of Eastern
Oregon; W. K.' Taylor, a brother of the
Sherlft; D. J. Clark and William Fer
guson, an Eastern Oregon wheat
rancher, all attired in cowboy costume.
They were accompanied by the Round
up brass band and a flock of Indians
in paint and feathers, made up for the
most part of bankers and .business men
of Pendleton.
Forming In a nrocesslon and tollowea
by a howling mob made up of curious
Easterners and.even the people of the
West, who are' more or less familiar
with such sights, the cowboys and the
others marched to the tune of "We
Won't Go Home Until Morning" to the
Imperial Hotel, where, without even tne
formality of knocking, they all walked
Into the lobby. The horses, which were
irenteeL took an Interest in the affair
and caused no trouble, merely bowing
about a few minutes and then turning
about, as though they owned the notei.
and walking back Into the ctreet.
Ponies Invade Multnomah.
The nrocesslon then marched to the
Multnomah Hotel, where horses, riders,
band. Indians and all went into tne
lobby and held a war dance. Tha
horses stood by and took as mucn in
terest in the doings apparently as the
mob of onen-mouthed spectators who
craned their necks from every nook
and corner of the lobby to get a look
at the celebration.
Picking dd the "Won't Go Home Un
til Morning" tune the party proceeded
out of the side entrance of the hotel
and marched off down the street fol
lowed by thousands of shouting eele-
brators. As the horse of Sheriff Tay
lor passed the door of the hotel a young
Eastern srlrl. who said her name - was
Miss Holly, of Cincinnati, put up a pair
of silk white arms and tne snerm
pulled her up on the back of his horse,
where she was cneereu oy tne thou
sands gathered about.
The novel parade proceedea rrom
the Multnomah Hotel up Fouri'h street
to Washington and over Washington
to Sixth and up Sixth to the Portland
Hotel with a shouting multitude of
celebrators at Its heels. As the cow
boy band danced the Indians danced
Texas Tommys in most Interesting
fashion. ' s
War Dance Is Held.
Aifv1ncr nt thA Tnrtland Hotel th
horses proceeded with all the graoe
nf millionaire sruests to walk through
the lower door and Into the bar, where
everyDoay naa a arinn, inuiann, uomcs,
cowboys and all. Aroused by the fire
water the redskins retired to an ad
joining anteroom and held a war dance
to the music of bass drums, me snout

about In wild disorder In the efforts of
..r.MrKAili, tn lnnlr thrniis-h thn doors
and windows at the fun. When the
Indians and the horses came marcning
out from ''the same door they entered
the front of the hotel, and the streets
were almost a solid mass of people.
A space was cleared and a real war
danoe held In the open. Everybody
vn nil "more." and the performance
was repeated half a dozen times.
Peales Hide in Elevators.
From -the Portland the Wild West
performers went to the Oregon Hotel
where a similar performance was
staged. From there they went to the
Elks' Lodge building and proceeded
upstairs to the Elks' parlors. The
horses of Sheriff Taylor and Mr. Per
rlnger walked Into the elevator In the
building as though It was an every
day occurrence and were hoisted to
that thlvil flnni- vhnrA thav walked with
all the grace of grand lodge Elks to
the plush-covered parlors. After mak
ing themselves at home for a while
they took the elevator and returned
to the street, where they were Joined
by the Indians and the band, and pro
ceeded to make merry with the crowds
agalnv ' -
The Indians were the centers of at
traction, despite the fact that they
were not Indians at alL They were
such good take-offs that it was hard
to realise that in everyday life they
are wearers of white collars and
pressed trousers. Three of them
were practically- naked, their painted
bodies being covered only by waist
cloths and head feathers. The others
were adorned with blankets, buckskin
suits and Indian trinkets.
Monte Inspires Dancing-.
When the Indians left the streets the
crowds turned to other forms of
amusement. Bands appeared on the
streets within the court of honor and
led thousands of cheering and dancing
merry-makers through hours of fun.
Every band had a tailpiece of celebra
tors from one to four blocks In length
and every time the air was filled with
the enchanting music or "isiveryDoay

RERUN. July 13. (Special.) A

If yoirdrink because of a craving for
stimulants if you've reached the stage
where nothing will satisfy excepting
rough, high-proof, strong whiskey
our story is not for you.
But if it's mellowness, age and flavor
you're looking for you'll like Cyrus
Noble.
Because it's pue because it's palatable
because you don't have to dilute- it with
water, to be able to swallow it.
It costs no more than any other good whiskey. .
