an editorial published today in

"Koosevolt's whole bias Is wrong.
Ho is more Hanilltonlan than Ham

ernment was formed has treated the
constitutional limitations so contemp
tuously. Did ho not show In Chicago
that ho Is more Interested In obtain

progressives why did ho refiiBO to

"Roosevelt stands for a number of
progressive policies tho popular

nml tho regulation of railroads, for
Instance but these have been vir

for the Administration
WASHINGTON, July 25. Ridicul
ing, to wild applause hy the progrcs
RlveR, the Taft claims that the re
nomination of the president at Chi
cago, was regular Congressman
George W. Norris of Nebraska replied
today to Congressman Mondell's
speech of yesterday in the house.
Norris, in reviewing tho work ot
the "steamroller" at Chicago, analy
Ized at length the contests made by
the Roosevelt men from Texas, de
claring that unseating of tho Lyon
delegates was "one of the grossest
frauds of the whole Chicago rob
bery." Defeat In Ohio
"In Ohio we find Taft telegraphing
his friends not to compromise. lie
was defeated by 47,000 votes In the
state, but by giving orders to cap
ture tho state convention and get tho
delegates, he got them. This was
President Taffs position In Ohio."
Norris roasted Beverly Coiner, Just
appointed United States district at
torney for tho western dlstlct of
Washington. In describing the situa
tion in that state convention Norris
said:
"They removed tho flro escapes
and policed tho door of tho conven
tion hall. Nobody was allowed to
enter without a ticket from Coiner.
Let's see what he wanted In patron
age. Do was a candidate for United
States district attorney. Ho mado
good. Tho legally elected Roosevelt
delegates wero ousted. Tho Coiner
delegates were seated at Chicago.
Coiner got tho nomination.
IMum Trees Shaken
"All other plum trees wero shaken
for the men who helped to 'put Taft
over.' In many states the same thing
happened. Appointments hung ripe
ovorywbero. Coiner got his pay from
tho hands ot tho man ho helped;
tho taxpayers ot the country must
pay tho bill."
Congressman Humphrey of Wash
ington announced today that) tomor
row ho will reply tot XorrlsB state
ments that the Washington republi
can state convention was fraudulent.
Norris said during tho course or
bis speech:
"Tho salaries of southern federal
office holders at tho Chicago conven
tion would total $1,000,000 ft year.
This is more than the republican or
ganization or tho republican party Is
worth down there."

fair for us to insist on tho right to bo

"Kvou if Chinese missionaries in
China have sometimes been violent, it
is because tho men were bad not
