CHICAOO, June B. Senator Moses
was severely criticized in open session
of the republican national committee
by several committeemen for his
statement chcarglng that steam roller
tactics are being used in hearing the
delegates' claims from contested dis
tricts. The committee today seated D. C.
Cole, Georgia delegate, supporter of
Wood, over the Lowden delegate.
Moses' statement, apparently in be
half of Wood, was objected to by com
mitteemen who favor the general's
candidacy. "I've been for Wood for
a year and I personally resent any
statement like that made by Senator
Moses touching upon the integrity of
Chairman Hays," said National Com
mitteeman HcOraw of Oklahoma.
Revives 1912 Melee.
CHICAGO. June 6. Steam roller
talk has not appeared In the prelimi
naries since the Taft-Roosevelt con
test eight years ago.
There are several delegates who con
tribute to the support of predictions
that it la going to be a regular old
time convention. Many of the steady
ing Influences which guided prelimi
naries four years ago are absent and
many new elements which make for
confusion are present. The majority
of delegates are uninstructed, and
although, as is generally the case.
many of them are anxious to board
some band wagon, there does not ap
pear to be any. About the only thing
overybody seems agreed on is that no
candidate is going to be nominated on
the first ballot.
This is the lost day of the national
committee's deliberations on the con
tests. In disposing of the remaining
Georgia congests, the committee seat-
l ed the Wood delegate in the seventh
district and the Ijowden delegate in
the tenth district. The Texas contest,
involving 23 votes will be taken up

CHICAGO, June 5.- Tension along

by Senator Moses' statement charging
that the republican national commit
tee is using a steam roller to help
Lowden get the nomination.
Wood, in whose behalf Moses' state
ment was apparently issued, declared
he was 'loath to believe" that "at this
critical moment In the nation's his
tory any selfish or political interest
would be permitted to outweight those
of public good," and that he believes
Chairman Hays was "absolutely fair"
in handling the delegation contests,
