This would riVT Taft 644 or four more than needed. When the bitterness of this Taft Roosevelt feud and the almost super human efforts by the ablest politician In toe country to win over Individual rielrgiUes Is considered, the narrow paper margin by which the presdlent remains In the race Is apparent. Wlill In a mlxup as complex as this almost anything Is possible, It Is gen erally conceded that about the least likely possibility Is Roosevelt's noml nation on the first ballot, If the dele gates who moke up the temporary roll are seated by the- credentials commit tee. Should there be a bolt and should the first ballot result In no nomination, the ontest from t hat time forward will be anybody's fight. Still Cling- to Party. One feature of the situation which may have an important bearing on the result Is tlie growing feeling among both Taft'arru Hoosevelt delegates who still cling to thuir party loyalty, that the fight for supremacy lias gone to fciich lengths that, the nomination of either would result In an absolutely fatal split of the parts'. While on the surface of things loyalty seems to be at a pretty low ebb, the fact remains lhat aside from the warring? leaders the majority of the delegates, most of whom are officeholders, are at neart more Interested in party success than In the nomination of any particular candidate.. An interesting overnight development was the "dark horse" talk for Elliiu Root among the conservatives. Root's Kpeech as temporary chairman was the effort of his life, and those who are close to Ijlm are saying today that he Is loyal to President Taft. he realizes MtHT.vr.or CAaYiK W IV Out DirrTirr BtwtlN Aiit fcuf or Aifg"fex, rVl Biv lTVr O C0L0avAO.WAi TKeT ba in fUl OM Asxp eai, TtC We r TUT rVMMXeU.

Yesterday's collapse of the Roosevelt plan of battle rkine.a few inlnutea be fore th convention was called to order --due largely to absence from the floor of I he commander In chief of the progressives. Tin Taft organization as complete In every delull. Kvery movement of the Roosevelt forces was anticipated even to the storming of the stage by protesting Roosevelt fol lowers. The aisles were manned by uniformed policemen and an army of plain clothes men and secret service officers. Part of the Roosevelt plan was to rush tloyrrnor McGovern to the stage the moment he got 601 votes and recog nize him us temporary chairman. This was the number that made a majority, if th delegates branded by Roosevelt as fraudulent were left out. Rut that attempt was not made There was a hitch somewhere and the Roosevelt forces appeared to tie leader less. Meanwhile the Taft line didn't waver. It was organized under skilled and seasoned leadership successfully withstanding an Incompletely organized attack. ROOSEVELT FORCES CLAMOROUS; TAFT FOLLOWERS ,CALM (Continued From Page One.) delegates voted. The Roosevelt delegates engaged In a Joint debate with the speakers, with the galleries and with themselves. It was a new thing In American poll- tlca for a convention crowd o bo cruel. This crowd showed the veneer of the savage badly scratched. It was a brutal crowd and each side was equally vicious. It snapped at Fort, barked at I'avne and showed Its teeth at Flinn when the Roosevelt men declared they would not recognize the electldn of a temporary chairman whose majority was produced by tne contested delegates on the roll prepared by the committee. When Had iey ueciareu a nomination rrom a con vention In which the contested dele gates sat. would bind no one, the dra matic element which seems to form the motive of the convention was In jected Into the. proceedings. The whole story of the morning as It unfolded repeats that dramatic phase with variations. Heney played upon It and the dele gates and the crowd furnished the adorned thejne with applauso and Jeers and cheers and hoots. Slowly as he proceeded the pandemonium rose, the crowd grew impatient and mean; Heney had to pause time and again but though the Taft people did not realize it. time was what the Roosevelt men were play ing for. They dreaded the approach of the ateim roller and believed that If they could gain time they could reduce its steam and finally atop It. The decision to stand by McOoTern, which was mudo by Roosevelt last week and announced to the leaders yesterday, seemed to surprise the crowd. The name of IJorah In connection with the temporary chairmanship was only a decoy duck. Rut the long list of Roose velt men seconding Mctlovern pointed the way to the Hoosevelt support. It may be said In parenthesis that Sena tor La Kollette did not look with favor en the candidacy of McOovrn. I. a Fol lette could not oppose McOorern, the governor of Wisconsin, but It was known that the McGovern candidacy chagrined La Follette, who would have no alliance with Roosevelt But Roose velt fore a J It. As the afternoon lengthened and for mer Governor Rradley of Kentucky tried to speak for Root, the crowd growled and snarled Its anger. "Lorlmer, Lorl met !" It yelled. "You voted for Lorl mer!" It hooted, and he leaned over the railing and, shaking his fist with chok ing rage, shouted to those who im pugned the high motives of Lorlmer: "Liar! Liar! Liar!" The nervous young man with the gavtl did not know it, but by allowing the fruitless day to drag on he waa playing Into the hands of the Roosevelt forces; but even If ha had known It. he could have done little. The crowd was gradually getting beyond him. Rut a( this point came the Kansas man, the first man of the long afternoon to got a hearing. Henry J. Allen began by smiling and Joking his way Into a hear ing. He got the first ovation of the day. Moreover, he put the crowd In a humor to listen to Jhe next speaker. After the speech of Walter L. Ifouser of Wisconsin, denying that McGovern was La Follette's candidate, and after young Mr. Cochems had explained his position, that lie was presenting Mc Govern as an individual La Follette del egate, the historic first roll call for the temporary chairman tor the national convention began. It was a long strug gle, and the victory for Root came when the state of Washington was called. It was brought for Root by seating the 76 contested delegates, seated by the national committee, and by dividing the delegation instructed for Roosevelt In Maryland, taking three Instructed votes In Oregon and seven instructed Roose velt votes In Illinois and voting them for Root. The Roosevelt delegates felt the sting of an unfair defeat. They had been sitting all the afternoon in the suspense of the roll call with first Root, then McGovern leading, and finally when Washington, a stolen state, gave Roof his majority, the yells of the victors made defeat exceedingly bitter. AVIsconsin voted, the La Follette men losing their votes. Thirteen Wisconsin men voted for McGovern. La Follette played out his lone hand to the end. When the vote was announced at the end of the ballot an electric moment passed in which the expected bolt failed to materialize. Senator Root took the gavel and pounded with a masterful vigor. He walled to brgln bis speech until the crowd cleared out of lha ball for din ner. Then he went through It to an acre of empty benches. In the mean time the Roosevelt leaders were scurry ing off lo the hotel lo caucus. The election of Root by a majority of less than JO with eight Instructed Roose velt votes from Maryland, six from Illinois and three from Oregon and with five votes missing, indicated either a Roosevelt majority or a deadlock and while the Rooanvelt leaders were cau cusing the Taft forces were In panic The election of Root was their high tide. nil... .ai.JU.ls lrr-4l.c I c, I 't.r II. 1 1 aa. a.
