III DEFEASE Of PI1IIICIPLES
Cochem Says: "Wisconsin Delegatiin is Helping Taft, De

Conducting a Campaign of Vengeance I Got Sick of the

Coliseum,' Chicago,. June 19. Jlette, and did not wish to be accused
Wholesale disruption of the WIscon
sin delegation, with several desertions
threatened, marked the entrance to
day of th La Folette workers Into the
convention.
Governor McGovern, elected chair
man of the delegation, today received
the resignation of Henry F. Cochems
as delegate. Several other delegates
threatened similar action. It was ru
mored that McGovern himself might
withdraw. His friends refused veri
fication of that rumor, however, and
he would not talk prior to the assem
bling of the convention.
Cochems, who named La Follette
for president, four years ago today,
came out with a second bitter attack
upon the Wisconsin progressive, ex
plaining his action In nominating Mc
Ciovern for temporary chairman, and
Ills resignation.
Jnst to Lick Roosevelt.
J'L& Follette himself and his men
are out to lick Roosevelt, that's all,"
said Cochems. 'They are utterly dis
regarding the progressive principles,
the fight for the people, which Roose
velt, just as much as La Follete, is
waging. For ten days Manager Hous
er has been trafflcklngjylth the Taft
crowd, defending the rotten steals of
the national committee and conduct
ing a campaign of vengeance upon
Roosevelt, rather than Qf support of
the progressives.
"I got sick of the whole dirty mess,
and simply quit to save my own self
respect. I felt I would be stultifying
myself to keep a seat on the delega
tion, when instructed for La Fol-

of desertion or treachery. Now, I am
free to make a progressive fight, as I
see It."
Cochems entered the Roosevelt
ranks today, but not officially.
Will Stuy With Root.
Walter Houser, La Follete's cam
paign manager; Colonel John J. Han
nan, secretary to the Benator, and
Walter Rogers, Wisconsin national
commltteman, united today In declar
ing that Wisconsin, and also the
North Dakota delegations would vote
solidly at all times for the nomination
of La Follette. They said Wiscon
sin's 26 votes will be cast with the
Taft forces "against purging the tem
porary roll."
"The proposition of Governor Had
ley and the Roosevelt crowd is utter
ly absurd too wild-eyed for consid
eration," said Colonel Hannan, ''Why
should a personally-conducted roll of
delegates be chosen by Hadley, or any
one else, be substituted for those
chosen by the national committee?
We will vote to have the whole affair
referred to the credentials commit
tee." Manager Houser also declared the
Roosevelt plan is "indefensible."
An Absurd Flan.
'In all of the contests, probably
3000 briefs and affidavits are pre
pared," said Houser. "To ask the
convention, as a mass, to seat the
IlooBevelt people en bloc would be the
height of absurdity. Host of' the
Roosevelt contests were manufac
tured, anyway, and are without merit
and indefensible.
"As far as Cochein's resignation Is
concerned, It was the only thing he
could do. He bolted the Wisconsin
caucus action, which had voted 15 to
11, an hour before entering the Coli
seum, against presenting a candidate
for temporary chairman. The Wis
consin delegation Is out to fight for a
principle the nomination of La Fol
lette first, and last upon the princi
ples for which he stands."

Jack Curley was extremely
peeved today when asked to dls-
cuss the Albunueraue renort
that Governor McDonald was
determined to stop the Johnson- t
Flynn fight if he could nosslblv
do so under the law r nrlav efc
declared the report was absurd.
Tommy Ryan's statement yes-
terday that Flynn Is "holding
fat" was also pooh-poohed bv
Curley.
Dr. Edwin Shaw, who exam-
Jned both Johnson and Flynn,
asserted today that Flynn car-
rles very little fat.
I'pon being advised today by J. M.
Crenshaw, secretary of the Citizens'
League of Redmond, that the mayor
and mnrshnl, despite the Instructions
of the council, were declining to en
force the law and abolish the restrict
ed district and gambling, Governor
Vest today culled the matter to the ' thfl dis(,Iiarf,e of pistols, guns

This proclamation is Issued for the
reason that the practice prevailing in
the past of discharging firecrackers
and other explosives has resulted In
many injuries to persons and in loss
of life and In great damage to prop

and that Independence Day should be

once enforce the law, and declaring
that If he did not do so he would take
steps to see that It was enforced.
Crenshaw wired the governor this
morning, declaring the mayor and
marshal was In sympathy with the
women of the restricted district and
also the gambler, and that, though
the council, by unanimous vote, had
Instructed them to proceed and en
force the law against them, that they
bad fulled to do so.
The governor also sent a telegram
o the marshal of Redmond, saying
be hud directed the sheriff to take
teps with regard to the matter, and
"aid he hoped he would see his way
clear to enforce the law. To the
sheriff he also stated that complaints ,.,,... amt other explosives. Is

State Convention of the 6. A.
R. Opened Here This After
noon With Nearly 600 Dele
gates in Attendance.
W. R. C. IS ALSO IN SESSION
More Than a Thousand Delegates At
tending the Convention, Which Is
the Greatest Ever Held by (he Or
der In the Slutc Bunds and Loral
Posts Mel Special Trains and Es
corted Delegates to Meeting Places.
The largest state convention of the
Grand Army of the Republic ever
held, and probably that ever will be
held In Oregon, opened Its session at
2 o'clock this afternoon In the ar
mory. While all the delegates have
not yet arrived, there Is a large num
ber already In the city. The conven
tion will be composed of about 600
to 600 delegates from different parts
of the state. This morning at 10:45
a special train of two sections, with
five coaches arrived over the Ore
gon Electric. The reception commit
tee was busy all forenoon providing
qunrters for the delegates, some dif
ficulty being found In finding accom
modations for all those attending.
Petween 1 and 2 o'clock the Salem
Military band discoursed sweet strains
of muslo on tho stroets, and all
seemed to enjoy the muslo furnished
by this aggregation of competent mu
sicians.
Preparatory to the commencement
of the convention proper, the creden
tials committee met at the armory at
9:30 and pasesd on the credentials of
those who had arrived at that time.
Other sessions of this committee will
lie held during the day.
The council of Administration met
at the armory at 10:30. This com
mittee audited the hooks of the adju
tant and other officers of the G. A. R.
and transacted such other business as
came before It.
The Woman's Relief Corps met at
10:30 In Klks' hall, with an attend
ance of about 300. Cora M, Davis, na
tion president, of 1'nlon, Oregon, was
admitted to honory membership, as
were a numlier of other imtlonul offi
cers. The morning senelon was given
up entirely to the seating of the na
tional officers and dflegates.
This evening will lie devoted to a
general welcome to all. Mayor laeh
mund will deliver an address of wel
come at the armory, to which Depart
ment Commander Newton Clark and
others will respond, This will be fol
lowed by a general rumpflre talk and
discussion, in which nil the delegates
are permitted to take part. There will
be t musical program. Intersperse! by
local and other talent.
The ladles of the (',. A. It. met St
the Masonic ball, with a huge nuiulK'r
In attendance. Thus It will Im -n
that Ihe capacity of public meeting
places of Ihe city were pretty heavily
taxed.
There are about 1000 delegates In
the city, which, sddi'd to the nun,tr
of private citizens that have come
here on account of the convention, has
filled the city up pretty well.
