FIGHT STARTS AT DROP OF THE GAVEL (Continued from Page 1.) dales, make and pass laws. "If it is in the power of 27 men to say what shall he considered a majority of a convention, then we hnvo ceased to have representative government in our party." "We know hut one trovemment in this country, and that is government by political parties, and if control of the parties can be maintained by those who make up the temporary roll, then wo have a political olig archy. "It is the qncsiion now whether the delegates bhall or shall not pass upon (heir own (nullifications when their right to fcit is protested. In 1S84, u similar situation arose. The conven tion then decided that the committee -was tho sen-ant and not the master of tho republican party or of the con vention. This question must, in its final analysis be decided either that tho committee has a innver not sub ject to change later or that the con vention may later change it." Iladley continued citing his conten tion, reading from a parliamentary point raised by Koscoe Colliding in 18G4 which he claimed was his con tention. "So I offer to you today the prece dent of J8G4 that nominated for the second time Abraham Lincoln. I of fer the statement of Senator Hoar that the motion to amend tho tempor ary roll is in order. Question of Principle "hut this question is more a ques tion of principle Ihnu of precedent. It is said no fraudulent names are on this roll. As long as we don't act and fairly face this question, any man who goes out from this convention with a nomination goes out with a tainted nomination and can neither expect or receive the votes of the Am erican people. "You cannot settle a question of fundamental honesty by disregarding it. You cannot settle questions af fecting the people by raising point of order, but I say that just so certnin as you decline to answer any question tho people will decide tliat you do not want to settlo this question on the facts alone. You either must purge your rolls or ndmit that you want to confer a fraudulent nomination," Former Governor Fort of New Jer sey followed Governor Iladley for the Itnosovelt forces. y "Thero has never como before a na tional convention in this wonderful party of ours, so vital a question," he said. "In 1880 the question arose as to whether it was in the power of a convention to determine questions of tho roll boforo a vote could be taken. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts said that in tho absenca of any rule, the decision of any question rested with tlm chairman but subject to tho rule oJ! the convention. "Tlio convention, not tho chair must ilatorinino whether tho roll presented is snob as this convention can ac cept." ' Fort then referred to numerous umumittcti decisions which, ho said, gave tlio delegates there b.ut a say wIo shall bo seated and usljcili 'Shall wo have in this convention such a tfoono ns has been going on beforo tho national committee" Hero tho speaker vvns drowned out jvith a ulionis of "noes" .from tho' THE FIRST BATTLE. NO real reform is accomplished without persistant ef fort, long continued struggle and many apptrent de feats. So the failure of the first effort of the women of Medford to secure representation on the school board to accomplish needed relorms women. Defeat only strengthens a just cause and the cause represented by the women in this election, direct repre sentation for half (he people of Mcdrord, scientific and up-to-date changes in the educational system, and an inter mediary for the mothers in the person of one of their own sex on the board of control, is a just one and bound to win eventually. The school election showed the surprising survival of unreasonable prejudice in an apparently progressive com munitv. Many indicated that they were unalterably pre judiced against the participation of women in public af- lairs. An eleventh hour campaign canard that the wo men's candidate was a Roman Catholic conjured up a popish )lot to capture the public schools, and aroused religious bigotry remeniseent of the old A. P. A. days. Mrs. Parsons happens to be a member of the Congrega tional church, but what has religion to do with public af fairs in this supposedly enlightened age? It is because Mrs. Parsons is herself a public school product, beleives in the public school system, saw its pres ent defects and earnestly desired its increased efficiency, that she consented to become a candidate. No one in tlio community is as well qualified for the task, and her defeat is Med ford's loss. At least two of the five members of the school board should be women and it is to be hoped that the women will continue their ettorts until they are crowned with success. Only a few women were qualified to vote and every interested woman should see that her name gets on the assessment roll this year so she can vote next year. The campaign furnished valuable political experience for the women. Having hauled over three hundred to the I polls who promised to vote in their cause, and having promises from several hundred others, they polled but. .ISO votes, and probably agree with Xing David that "all men are liars." REDUCE THE RENTS. A TTENTION of property owners in the business dis V trict has several times been called to the necessity of co-operating with merchants by a reasonable reduction of rents, which are exorbitant. One West Main property owner has already realized this necessity and voluntarily cut his rentals 25 per cent. The other property owners should do the saint1. The population of Medford and its surroundincr terri tory does not justify the high rentals charged merchants, which are higher than those charged in Salem, Eugene and other larger towns. The merchant can only do busi ness in proportion to the population he sells to, and can not afford to pay more than his business justifies. Most of the landlords have placed an inflated valua tion upon their property far in excess of their real in vestments. Many of the stores which in former years re turned good interest upon the real investment now bring two and three times the rentals, due to comparatively few store rooms existing during the period of rapid expansion. New buildings have resulted in a sufficiency of store rooms and a consequent falling off in the demand. ihc landlord who does co-operating- with his tenant, latter, which will eventually store. Roosevelt men and a similar shout of "yens" from tho Taft men. "You don't want to have anyone say that yon want to give the presi dent of the United States a fraudu lent nomination." Fort's time being up Congressman Watson then yielded ten minutes of his time to Congressman Sereno Payne of New York. Tho author of tho tariff bill was both cheered and jeered, the Pennsylvania delegation demanding: "Where is Aid rich 1" "This is a proposition of order or chiios," lio said. T "How about the tariff bill?" some one demanded. Payne was jeered and interrupted throughout. But ho stuck to his ground. "There is no other way a conven tion liko this can organize " "Oh, yes, there is," yelled a Penn sylvania delegate and another yell went up. Puyne was plainly discon certed as ho gave way to Congress man James Watson of Indiana. Wat son got a howling welcome from the Taft men. Watson's Argument "Governor Hadleys iirst citation is unsound becnusu he refers to a time when thero was no republican nation al commiltqe," More applause and cheers hero in terrupted W"tsoij, who shouted : "Don't cheer or applaud. I want to appeal to your reason, not your prejudices, Tho precedent cited by, the other side proves ours. The de cision of Senator Hoar came only af ter he laid been chosen chairman, not beforo." Watson then declared (hat in the convention of 18U2 Governor Fo.-l mndo a motion that the temporary roll of the convention bo made tho permanent lldd then moved the previous question to cut off debate. "Somebody must say who consti tutes tl)o temporary roll, or chaos niusf result," said Va(son. "Thu't is why this conunitlco has acted. Tho national chairman, simply because lie is Iho chairman baa calied this con vention to oVdor. That is all ho can do. There bo can Bk you to clout should not discourage- tho not realize the necessity of works an injustice upon the leave him with a vacant ydur chairman. All he can say is: '"I nominate the Hon. Elihu Root, as your temporary chairman.' " A wild yell went up from the Taft men at the mention of Root's name and Iladley and Fort called time on Watson, but Chairman Rosewnt-r shook his head. "If you proceed as tho opposition asks you to," said Watson, "tlnyi you miint settle every contest before the convention actuallv meets, 'if the 'ladloy motion is carried there will be no need for a committee on creden tials." Here Watson moved to lay the ap peal of Governor Iladley on the tabic "There has been no appeal," said Iladley and Rosewater nodded assent to the Missouri governor state. Then Rosewater rapped for order sheuting: "The convention will be in order." Steam Holler Works It took several seconds to secure order and finally Rosewater was able to make himself heard. He said that he had bad the question under advise ment several days and then directed the rouih'ug clerk to read a statement bearing on tho Iladley motion. This statement was very lengthy and re viewed tho aclion of the various re publican conventions from dial of 1881 onward. In the main he reiterated tho argu ments of Congressmen Payne and Watson holding that the national committee alone was entitled lo call up the temporary convention roll. It was held that up to tho forma tion of a temporary organization against tho rjng such ns the present wntj not a convention but a mass meeting. At tlie end of tlio reading of the statement Iio-civutnr ruled thai nil, proceedings, Avcre out of order ex cepting the raiding of tho temporary roll. Iladley at once appealed from the decjsion of the chair. Watqr moved to table tho motion. Rosewater ruled both motions out of order and Rosewater then declared that all ho could do was to present tho namo of Hon, Elihu Root, for temporary ehairmmi, STORY OF BALLOT (Continued (row Thrq 1) vole noun; .11) for Motlovoru and none for Hoot.

Tho two delegates from Hoosovelt's home district oted for Hoot, but Tim Woodruff evented a stir when ho shouted McGoveru, tho Brooklyn boss being the fir-l to vote with the Roosevelt forces.

The Tuft managers insisted on the state being polled again but the an nounced result was the same. Ohio was then cnlled and the "big six" declared theiu-elves for Root they were applauded.
