Convention Hall. Chicago. June 19.
When at 11:15 o'clock this morn
ing the second day's session of the
national republican convention be
gan, Senator Root announced the un
finished business of the day the mo
tion of Watson that the convention
ccu to uie aiipoiiumeiii or regu-
jar committees and the substitute ,
:UIU" " i.overiior nauiey mar tne ;
iiooseveu list ot delegates be sutistl-if
uuea ror me temporary roll. He
ninu aunuuuceu an agreement to ai-
low three hours for debate of these i
motions and asked if there was ob- i
jection. There was not.
It had been agreed in advance that
there should be no preliminary poiins
of order against the Roosevelt mo
tion, the Taft forces agreeing to
fight the matter out before the dele
gates. Governor Hadley began, an ex
planation of the situation confront
ing the convention." He' reviewed the
events of yesterday leading up to the
ruling of National Committee Chair
man Rosewater, which quashed the
Hadley motion to purge the tempo
rary roll.
"We could have met immediately
and forcibly this arbitrary and un
parliamentary ruling," said Hadley,
and he was roundly cheered. "We
could have forcibly Insisted on call
ing the roll on that mr.tion and we
could have forcibly tak'en control.
Instead we chose to wait patiently
until today."
Governor Hadley did not attempt
to gii into details of the various con
tested cases, saying he would leave
that to other speakers, lie read the
indictment of the national committee
as uttered by Colonel Koosevelt in
his Monday night speech and it called
out a big cheer.
He then read a statement from 14
members of the national committee
protesting against the action of the
majority in seating many ( f the dele
gates, particularly in the California.
Texas and Washington cases.
Hadley was given th- closest at
tention throughout. la closing, he
declared tiit'.t when the vote on the
stlbroll came he would contend thai
on the question submitted only the
votes of these delegates who.se seats
were net contested be allowed to bal
lot. A number of speakers appeared
on both sides of the question, the de
bate waxing hotter and hotter as tne
lime allowed for argument proceed
ed. James E. Watson concluded the
argument against the Hadley motion.
He was interrupted several times and
there were renewed calls for Hadley.
The governor appeared and then be-
gan the greatest demonstration or,,",,m-- ' 'l"S macnniei y is ne
the convention up to this time. A. ' install('(I "d the work of empty
stampede for Hadiev was started ln'ins ,he "lu s',la,'t wiI l'shed rap
those 45 minutes of cheering and the ' idly to "wiipletion. The Boston-Mon-outcome
of the convention mav be ! ,ana Col'Pany and the English Ex
for Hadiev as the presidential eandi- b'oration Company of London are the
date.
The delegates burst into wild
cheering which presently brought the j
delegates up standing. Then began j
a series of impromptu parades. Call- i
fornia began to shout, "We want j
Teddy," and in a moment the whole '
auditorium was a moving mass of i
men with banners, yelling at the tops
of their voices, the galleries aiding
in the noise.
After three-quarters of an hour of
demonstration Watson moved to re
fer the Hadley resolution to the cre
dentials committee.
Governor Deneen of Illinois moved
as an amendment to Iladley's resolu
tion that no man whose seat was con
tested should participate in the judg
ment on his own case.
Watson moved to table the Deneen
motion.
Chairman Root said he understood
the Deneen motion to mean that none
of the delegates named in the Hadley
resolution could vote on any contest
ed seat. 1
The roll call on the motion to tabie
the Deneen amendment began at
4:15 and resulted in favor of the
Taft men by a vote of 564 to 510,
four not voting.

LAID TO REST.
Friends I'ay Last ResM-cts to Wil
liam Patterson.
A large crowd of frienr'
gathered
at the family residence on Pine street
at 10 o'clock this miming to pay
their last sad respects to the memory
of William Patterson, a public ser
vant, whose departure from the ac-
tiviries of life is a matter of uni
versal sorrow. The services were
conducted by the Christian Science
'church at the house, and by the A.
O. V. W. and Knights of Pythias r.t
the grave in Ashland cemetery.
William Patterson waf born near j
' LaFayette, .-vshlnnd county. Ohio,
.May in. M5. He was the fourth in
a family of 14, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joshua Patterson of Ashland'
, county, Ohio. In 162 the family.
; consisting of the parents and tight
children, moved to this valley and
! settled on a farm north of this city
I and near to Talent. William live.! i
! on tlie farm with his father until:
1)66. when he began siwmilihig on;
his own responsibility, erecting a1
.mill on Wagner creek, and later con-1
: ducting a similar enterprise on Big
; Butte creek. Subsequently he re-1
i liu ved to the North I'mpqua river i
in Douglass county and ran a mill j
I tor a couple of years, then sold out
I and came to Ashland, where he fol
j lowed the carpenter's and builder's
trade for several years. He also be
'caine interested in mining in Siskiyou
county, California, giving up these
combined interests to become super
I intendent of the Ashland waterworks
Jin 1900.
Mr. Patterson was married to Miss
Annie E. Clift in Jacksonville March
11. 1874. He Is survived by a widow
jand six children, one child having
died in infancy. They are: Mrs. R.
R. Robley of Portland. Mrs. Jessie
Percival of Independence. Mrs. Elsie
Churchman. Mrs. W. C. Mitchell.
Harold and Margaret of this city.
He also leaves two sisters and six
brothers, three of whom reside in
'this vicinity, Mrs. James Thornton
j and Sylvester Patterson of Ashland
and Joshua Patterson. f( rinerly
county commissioner, of Talent,
i In the death of Mr. Patterson the
i community loses a valuable servant.
During the twelve years that he has
i been superintendent of tl- Ashland
I waterworks he Iras given eminent sat
isfaction and to him is largely due
' the present excellent water system
j that Ashland enjoys. I'nder his con
jtrol the works have been enlarged,
j new machinery placed, and additions
i made that have, been invaluable for
the equalization of water distribu
tion. Kind, genial, always ready to
(lend a helping hand for the hetter-
nient of his fellow-man. Mr. Patter
son commanded a host of friends.
Devoted to his duty, careful and
painstaking, he administered the af
fairs of the city placed in his hands
In a way that made him almost indis-
pensable to the system. His position
was a responsible one nnd he gave it
the best possible service, lu an of
ficial capacity, in his home and on
the street he will be greatly missed,
as a man devoted to duty and uni
versally popular. He was a member
' of the Christian Science church, of
j which organization he was treasurer.

I Hoiisei- of Wisconsin got to his
j feet and said Wisconsin iid La Fol
jlette did not present any candidate
i for temporary chairman. He said
that McGovern's candidacy was not
representative of La Fol.'ette.
Houser's announcement, as La Fol
lette's manager, created great excite
ment. McGovern's nomination was evi
dently a plan of the Roosevelt forces
to gel support from the Wisconsin
man's following without first secur
ing his endorsement.
Chairman Rosewater, at this point,
ordered the roll call amid great con
fusion, and the secretary began to

the result that Root was elected with
a substantial majority.
Scenes of riot and confusion char
acterized the session, hisses, groans
and cheers being mingled almost In
cessantly. Each attempt on the part
of adherents of either sid to present
the name of his candidate or to speak
in support of him was greeted by a

tween the rival factions.
