CHICAGO, June 15. Contests on
. Washington's 14 delegates to the Re
publican National convention were all
decided In favor of Taft after a heated
armiment and presentation by Loren
Grenstead. of Seattle, and Senator Poln
dexter, of Washington. The contested
seats Included eight delegates at large
and two each from the first, second
and third districts.
For the Roosevelt contestants Mr.
Grenstead said the argument would be
based on the contention that "primaries
and conventions had shown the state to
be pro-Roosevelt."
"The state convention at Aberdeen
May 15. at which the Roosevelt dele
gates at large were selected," he said,
"was attended by 264 Roosevelt. 100
Taft delegates and 304 contested dele
pates, representing 39 counties. The
day before the convention the Taft
members agreed to vote for the Taft
de'egates in all the contests.
T. R. Men Get 3Vo Tickets.
"When the convention was called the
uncontested Roosevelt delegates were
not given an opportunity to secure
tickets. The unheard-of practice of
keeping our delegates from the conven
tion has brought ridicule upon the party
In the state. The Roosevelt faction de
elded to hold their own convention after
they discovered they were not going to
receive a square deal.
Senator Poindexter said the Washing
ton contests ' will be tried before the
people of the country whichever way It
is decided here."
An objection against the jurisdiction
of the National committee to settle any
of the contests was made by Senator
poindexter.
"I do this to protect our rights," he
said. "This committee has really as
sumed the power which it now exer
cises in settling these contests. The
committee does not today represent the
Republican party in the United States.
Sentiment Not Reflected. He Says.
"So one can say that Senator Pen
rose represents the Republican sent!
ment of Pennsylvania. No one can say
tnat benator Crane represents the Re
publicans or Massachusetts. Mr. Per
kins, of Washington, does not repre
sent the Republican voters of Wash
ington." i
Senator Poindexter said the Wash
ington convention bad refused a state
wide primary and had called a state
convention. In King County (Seattle)
a primary was authorized by the coun
ty committee, he said. ,to select dele
gates to the county convention which
would In turn select delegates to the
state convention.
Later, he said, a "small minority" of
the county committee met. as an "ex
ecutlve committee,' and proceeded
"lawlessly and without authority" to
rescind the action ordering a primary.
"This committee," he said, "then ap
pointed a delegation to the state con
vention.
Kins County Made Isane.
"Upon this rests the sole claim of
the Taft delegation to a seat in the
National convention," said Senator
Poindexter. "Had the Roosevelt King
County delegation selected at the pri
mary been recognized In the state con
vention. Roosevelt would have had a
clear majority there."
He named other counties In which.
he said, Roosevelt delegates had re
ceived majorities and should have
been seated in the state convention.
"When the convention met," said
Senator Poindexter, "force and fraud
were used by the state committee to
prevent a majority of the Roosevelt
delegates entering the hall. They
barred the doors and windows.
"It is said by some friends of Mr.
Taft that the National committee will
take the position that It cannot go
back of the decision of the state com
mlttee. If that Is true the state com
mittee becomes a complete dictator.

' CHICAGO. June 15. (Special.)
On hts arrival today Colonel Roose
velt sent tor Senator Borah and told
him that some means mast be found
to give him a seat on the floor of
the convention. Colonel Roosevelt
said he wanted Borah for one of bis
floor leaders and this would only, be
possible If the Senator had a seat.
No arrangement has yet been made
to get Senator Borah on the floor,
but Colonel Roosevelt says It can be
done.
Colonel Roosevelt definitely de

tion of temporary chairman of the

ALASKAN IS FOR HADLEY
Shackleford, However, Expects
Roosevelt to Be Xamed.
CHICAGO, June 15. (Special.) Na
tional Committeeman Shackleford. of.
Alaska, takes issue with other Taft
members of the National committee In
the unseating of the Roosevelt dele-
xates-at-large and said tonight that
when he sits with the committee on
credentials he will vote to seat these
and six other Roosevelt delegates who
have been thrown out by the Xa'lonal
committee.
Mr. Shackleford believes that Roose
velt is likely to be nominated on the
nrst ballot, but personally Is for Gov
ernor Hadley. of Missouri,
far to win, even If he shall get Root
for temporary chairman. So, for that
matter, will Roosevelt have far to go.
But consider for a moment the preca
rlous situation of the Taft forces. The
preliminary contests will be won. If at
all, by a narrow margin. If La Follette
should Join the Roosevelt crowd, the
combination might be able to defeat
Root and control the organization; but
La Follette appears determined to play
a lone hand. He can see no good rea
son why he should deliver the conven
tion either to Taft or Roosevelt; for. In
that event, how could he help himself
to a nomination? The only possibility
of La Follette tactics is to bring about
deadlock and to let the Taft and
Rdosevelt forces fight each other to a
standstill.
Root will therefore be a point blank
Issue between Taft and Roosevelt, the
only other factor being Cummins' lone
some ten from Iowa.
Roet'a Vk-tory Means Stragrfe.
Tne La Follette delegates will not
Tote; rather the La Follette managers
have advised them not to vote. If
Root shall be beaten. It will all be
over but the shouting, for there will
he no Question tben as to the nature of
succeeding events or of the expedition
with which they will happen. But If
Root shall win, the utruggle will have
Just fairly begun.
The Presidential contests over dele
gates will be fought out again before
the credentials committee. The cases
where Roosevelt committeemen joined
the Taft committeemen will doubtless
not be reopened; but enough will be
pressed before the committee to occupy
its time for days.
Then there is likely to be long war
over the platform. The platform com
mittee Is most, likely to be in control
of the Taft men, since it will be named
by states, and. If it shall be a strong
Taft platform that comes from the com
mittee, the Roosevelt champions will
present their platform direct to the
convention. The word is given out. In
deed, that Colonel Roosevelt will not
insist on a radical platform, but' that
the draft prepared by him or for him
is an exceedingly moderate affair. But
it will contain no Indorsement of the
Taft Administration or of the 60-called
Taft policies, and it will make on that
account a mightly lot of contention and
dissension.
Platform Difficulty Not Small.
Colonel Roosevelt cannot or will not
run, of course, on a Taft platform.
though doubtless some of his own fol
lowers will deplore any plan to repudiate
a Republican administration. , Nothing
of the kind is likely to happen, so far
as outright expression goes. Hut much
may be implied from the omission of
any Roosevelt platform. The platform
therefore Is sure to be not the smallest! enno- r cn imn vrm nH KxnHao-n-

CHICAGO. June 15. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, wearing his new fighting
hat. a compromise between a sombrero
and a rough rider's headgear, came into
Chicago late today and was acclaimed
by thousands of his supporters and ad.
Imirers. The hat was in the air through
out the automobile ride from LaSalle
Street station to the Congress Hotel,
waving salutes of acknowledgment ol
the cheers that marked the former
President's progress.
Mr. Roosevelt said tonight he had
mapped out a- campaign. He was In
I consultation for several hours with bis
managers and then assumed charge in
person of what-he termed "this naked
fight between corrupt politicians and
thieves and the plain people." He
would not discuss his probable appear
ance on the convention floor, but there
was no doubt among delegates that he
would be there. Colonel Harry New, in
charge of convention arrangements.
said Mr. Roosevelt had not applied for
seat."
"Good Seats Gone!" Say New,
"If he does apply we will do the best
we can for him, said Colonel New,
"but, unfortunately, all of the good
seats are gone."
Early in the day it was announced at
the Roosevelt headquarters that the
Colonel's arrival would be devoid of the
spectacular.
Many delegates, however, would net
have It thus, and when the train bear
ing the candidate rolled into the sta
tion there were three bands and a
cheering multitude to greet him.
The California delegation, the most
aggressive and outspoken of the Roose
velt adherents a delegation which to
day issued a thinly veiled threat of In
dependent action if things do not go
well for the Colonel in the convention
marched to the station in a body and
escorted Colonel Roosevelt to his hotel.
California Bears Banner Aloft.
They bore aloft a banner which readr
"California refuses to try title to
property before the thief who stole it.
On the reverse side was: "California's
Bolid twenty-six for Theodore Roose
velt."
The banner caught the Colonel's eye
at once and be beamed with pleasure.
Later, as he stood on the balcony of
his hotel and made a brief address to a
throng which blocked all traffic In
Michigan boulevard for half an hour, he
alluded to the sign and made the so
called "thefts" of the Republican Na
tional committee the topic of his re
marks.
Colonel Roosevelt appeared in fine
fettle and seemed to enjoy thoroughly
being on the battleground in person.
The band which led the way kept up
a continuous crash, while the two in
the rear were equally busy. The tune
that was most in favor was the battle

It the Republican convention should
be protracted for more than a week,
the consternation certain to ensue at
Baltimore may be better imagined than
described. Fancy a Democratic conven
tion going ahead to nominate a candi
date without knowing who his Repub
lican opponent is to be! It has not
been done by any recent convention.
If the Chicago convention should
prove to be a long-drawn-out contest,
the advantage would be with Roose
velt and against Taft. The nature of
his support does not encourage the be
lief that it will sta,nd as firm as Grant's
Immortal 30S. and there are some Taft
men who do not aspire to die glorious
ly In the last ditch. For it is better
to be a live officeholder than a dead
politician, any day. They are willing
to live lor their convictions.

Women Trampled In Crash.
Colonel Roosevelt was all but mobbed
when he reached the hotel, and it took
all of the Colonel's efforts as well as
that of his guards to force a- way
through the lobby. The crowd pressed
him up the steps to the second floor
and when he stepped out on the bal
cony the crowd surged forward and
nearly pushed the candidate over the
railing.
In the crush several women were
trampled. The police rushed into the
breach just In time to avert disaster,
aa the crowd was near a panic
"Chicago is a bad place for aople
who steal," said the Colonel. "Califor
nia's 26 votes were cast for us at the
primaries and will be counted as such.
Look at that sign over there.
"This is a fight of honesty against
dishonesty, of honesty against theft.
"The people have spoken and the
politicians, dead or alive, will be made
to understand that they are the serv-
political conference to have a shower
bath. He then received the news
papermen. "Do you know," he ex
claimed, "I haven't a word to say."
There was a subdued groan from the
crowd. Colonel Roosevelt looked around
sympathetically, then added:
."This is a light worth being In."
"What do you think of the action
of the National committee In the Texas
case?" was the first question put.
"I'm not going to tell you anything
about that now. Ultimately I shall
have a good deal to .say about Texas."
At that hour the National committee
bad not taken up the Washington con
tests and Colonel Roosevelt was asked
what he thought would be done.
"Oh, they'll steal that, too," he
prophesied, with a smile. "I shan't
say another word aDout tne national
committee," he said in response to the
next question, "until it has finished Its
work."
"Ar6 you going to attend the con
vention?" He turned sharply upon the questioner.

CHICAGO, June 15. (Special.)
Senator Borah, of Idaho, tonight pre
diets Roosevelt's nomination on the
first ballot. He declared that if Roose
velt could get all the delegates he Is
legally entitled to, he would have a
majority of 100 in the convention.
He does not expect hlra to have so
large a majority, however, but thinks
he will pull through with a dozen or
more votes to spare.
