Chicago, June 15. A bitter ar
raignment of the Taft members of the
national committee, whom they
charge with "outrageous and larcen
ous acta," In deciding the cases of
the republican contesting delegations,
was published here today In an open
letter to the national committee and
signed by Governors Johnson of Cal
ifornia; Glasscock of West Virginia;
Stubbs of Kansas and Vessey of South
Dakota.
The letter says: "Representing the
republicans of our respective states,
we advise, so the matter may be on
record, that you aro prostituting the
positions you occupy by the violation
of every tenet 'of fair dealing, decency
and assassinating the republican par
tv. You are engaged In a deliberate
plan to thwart the will of the rank
and file of the party and thus con
vert a nartv of progress into one of re
action. You know that we Know It
and the whole nation knows It."
TimIiIv F.mlaliis Position
Toledo, Ohio, June 15. "My object
in going to Chicago is porrectiy sim
tiIp." stud Colonel Roosevelt today as
his train sped west. "The action of
the national committeeman unfortu
nately made It evident in this fight
between the plain people and public
men who attempt to be their masters,
that there Is a concerted effort by
professional politicians and inter
ests, which stand to rob the people
of a victory they once won. When
such is the case, I didn't feel at lib
erty to refuse to come."

by had shot the elk the Sunday pre
ceding, using Nlchol's rifle and the
meat was found in the Nichols home.

PARTLY DRAFTED
Provides for Recall of Judges
and Other Pro
gressiveness Chicago, June 15. The first draft
of the platform on which Colonel
Roosevelt will battle, if he Is nomi
nated, was completed here today. It
contains plans providing for the re
call of judges and favors popular gov
ernment through the preference pri
mary, the initiative and referendum.
In endorsing the recall It leaves to
every locality the selection of reme
dies. It favors the control of trusts
by the federal government, downward
revision of the tariff, a commission to
Investigate whether the workingman
Is receiving a Just proportion of ben
efit from the tariff and lowering of
the tariff so It would fall first on
those industries where the working
man Is unfairly treated; legislation
to work out social justice In the in
dustrial world, conservation, equal
suffrage and adequate amendments to
the bank currency laws, but opposing
the Aldrlch plan.
The platform is subject to change
on the arrival of Colonel Roosevelt

AUTO RUN DOWN BY
INDIANS ON HORSES
Drunken Reds Ride Over Machine
of Former Chief of
Police
Tom Gurdane, ex-chlef of police and
at present proprietor of a taxi-cab
service. Is today without the use of
one1 of his machines as the result'of
being run down by drunken Indians
last night. The automobile was bad
ly damaged and Gurdane himself es
caped serious Injury only by rare good
fortune.
The accident happened about 11
o'clock last evening on West Alta
street while Gurdane was driving to
the Round-up Park. In the seat with
him was Percy Folsom, his partner,
and, when several blocks down the
street, both noticed four mounted In
dians racing madly towards them.
Realizing that the horses might be
come blinded by the electric head
lights of the car, the driver turned to
run upon the sidewalk but the fear
of injuring pedestrians caused him
to turn back into the road and stop
his car. Honking his horn and
shouting a warning, he attempted to
turn the Indians aside but, with hors
es running at top speed, they bore
down upon him.
One of the horses struck the car
head on, tearing off the radiator,
smashing the carburetor, breaking off
the coils, and smashing the glass front
and the lamps. The force of the im
pact threw the horse part way Into the
car while the rider was thrown to the
ground where he lay motionless.
When the glass front was smashed,
Gurdane was showered with splinter
ed glass and the frame of the front
fell over his neck, yet, aside from a
cut hand and a badly bruised shoul
der, he was not Injured. Folsom, see
ing that a collision was Inevitable,
Jumped into tho back seat and was
not hurt.

Taft Gets Delegates at Large
and All Districts,
But One
Chicago, June 15. Despite the fact
that Committeeman Lyon Insisted
that the Taft delegates at large were
not contestants, having failed to file
their contest twenty days before the
committee met, the committee voted
to seat the eight Taft delegates at
large from Texas. The Taft briefs
were filed only yesterday.
Despite the arguments advanced
by Roosevelt's attorneys and contest
managers, the committee seated the
Taft delegates in the contests of the
first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh,
and eighth Texas districts.
The first victory for Roosevelt men
in the Texas contest, was scored
when the committee seated the Roose
velt delegates from the third dist
rict. Taft men offered little evidence.
"Don't do that, for God's sake! Re
member next November." This was
the plea of Committeeman Capers, of
South Carolina to the national com
mittee, when after . refusing the roll
call it seated the Taft delegates from
the fourth Texas district, in the con
test where both Roosevelt and Taft-
ites claimed the right to be recognized.

"Pretty tame" Is the way in which
tho majority of those who attended
the performances yesterday of the

show. Admitting that the frontier
features presented by Miller Bros, are
as good as can bo furnished by a road

opinion that such a sho: should never
have been offered to Umatilla county
people, educated as It Is in the real

The show train did not arrive in the

after 4 before tho parade wound

It Is expected that Colonel Roose

fact that he originally appointed them

that Taft cannot win, hoping thus to
start a stampede his way when the

In an effort to counteract the ef
