LOOKS LIKE FIGHT WAS DONE
Convention Went Wild When Idaho Voted With the Taft
Forties One Enthusiast Shouted "Its Over the Tainted
Mark Now"-This Indicates How All the Other Contests
Will Be Decided and Means That the Taft Ring Will Main
tain Control Its Now Up to Roosevelt to Decide as to the
New Party.
As the roll call on the question of
tabling the Hadley motion to substi
tute the minority report for the ma
jority report progressed It was plain
that It would carry, a progressive
state cast its vote with the Taft men.
The Idaho result caused a suspen
sion for a few minutes, while the
Taft men cheered nnd yelled. But It
was only a flash In the pan to what
the excitement was when Wisconsin
voted 15 ayes, with one delegate ab
sent. Wisconsin's committeeman had vot
ed with the majority in this case.
As on the first roll cal,i there was
another call for. the absentees on de
mand from the floor, and tho Vote was
finally announced: Ayes 005, noes
464, not voting 9.
The announcement that the Taft
strength, so far 08 the organization
of the convention was concerned, had
paused the 000; mark, -resulted in., a
-wlld cheering episode.
"It Ib oyer the tainted mark now,"

The majoilty report in the Arizona
case recomr"mded the seating of the
Taft delegates at large. This was
another caee that hinged entirely on
technicalities, and wsether the state
convention was regular or not, and
the majority aud minority reports
went duplications of the statements
made by the two factions when the
national committee decided in the
Taft men's favor.

Chicago, June 21. Reduction of
tho representation of the delegate,
from tho southern states U the rock
promising a lively contest In the con
vention. A minority report of the
rules committee was being propared
today greatly to reduce the number
of delegates from the "solid South."
Rasing apportionment of the dele
gale, upon the number of votes cast
at the preceding general election Is
the minority .uggoBtlon, a renewal
of a plan discussed generally for the
last 16 years. They propose to allow
one delegate for each 10,000 Republi
can vote. cast. This would cut Texas'
representation, for Instance, from 40
to 6. The Roosevelt members of the
rule, committee are lined up for the
amendment
Another radical change in the
rules, suggested by the minority, Is a
declaration for ''states' rights" in
naming national committeemen, a
plan to give each slate authority to
elect Its committeeman In any way it
may elect.
The most drastic change In the
rule, as agreed to by both the major
ity and minority, Is thnt giving the
national committee power to re
move from that body any commltee-
man who refuse, to support the nom
inee of the party,
The Taft men refused to permit
the Roosevelt forces to get any sup
port from the women of the country
that Is denied to them, and they
have adopted a plunk which puts the
party on record as favoring the de
cisions by the voters of every state
on the question of whether they want
woman suffrage or not
The plank of the sub-commit tec
provides that the question shall be
disposed of on lis merits and not
killed through technicalities. In ad
dition to Ignoring the demand of Ham
uel Gompers and other labor leaders
that the convention place the party
on record as fnvorlng the prohibition
of the use of the Injunction In labor
cases without full notification and
hearing both sides, the siib-eomml!tse
passed up the Initiative, referendum
and rerall. A strong plank opposing
the recall of the judiciary was sub'
milted to the sub-coriinilttee, but was
the consensus of opinion of the mem
ber, that It would be unwise to try
to place the party on record on this
proposition ot the present time.
There was a chance, however, that
tha demand for the plunk would be
renewed before the convention.
