Chicago, June 5-The Republicans
national committee went into session
today TO begin work of passing on
the 229 contested convention seats
II Is admitted that the action of
the committee will have a big in
fluenoe In deciding the presidential
contest as the delegates favored by
the national committee will be
placed ON the temporary convention
pll. The decision OF the natiopa,
committee will also act as a pre.
lcedent to the convention committee
on credentials which will have little
llme to take up the contests and
means much TO the Taft factions.
Each contest will be taken up An
Irregular order. The committee today
beginning with Alabama where
there is contest In every distric,
and In delegate-at-large between
the Taft and antiTaft delegates both
lclaiminlg TO be regular.
Attempt was made TO exclude
Frank B. Hitchcock, Taft's manager
who held a proxy from New Mexico
as well as two other Taft men who
held proxies. This attempt was voted
down and was first blood for Taft
Attorney F. c. Bryan of Washing.

blunt reference to Gen. U. s. Grant
in his Memorial day address IN
New York, when he declared Grant
had resigned IRON the army to
escape court-marhal for drunkenness.
Practically all of the members or
the national committee have arriv-
ed IN readiness for today's session.
In all 229 contests are to be pre-
ssnted to the committee which
opens its session at its headquart-
Iers at the Coliseum at IL o'clock.
The number of contests filed is 80
large that their settlement easily
has become the most important of
the pTeconvention proceedings. The
nomination of the Republican candi-
date for the presidency hinges abso-
lutely upon the decision of the men,
bers of the national committee and
the subsequent approval OF that de-
cision by the credentials committee
of the convention. Half the contests
decided in favor of Secretary Taft
would result In his winning on the
| first ballot while failure to capture
this number unquestionably would
put the nomination in doubt.
Realizing the necessity of keep
IL inn fA,.ttp Of fhn
gates out of the Taft column the
representatives of other candidates
have pooled issues in most of the
cases and, as allies, will urge their
claims before the national commit
tee. The proceeding therefore largely
Twill be resolved dnto a Taft and
anti-Taft controversy. SO far as the
south is concerned, and the most
of the contests are in states from
south of the Mason and Dixon line,
the interests OF the allies are being
looked after by Major f. c. Bryan
of Washington, d. c., He arrived in
Chicago yesterday and announced
that he would base his arguments
chiefly on the contention that in
most of the southern states the Taft
I forces had disqualified the negro
voters from participating in the
state and district conventions and
that the allied delegate had been
selected mt conventions from which
no class or race had been barred.
II the program mapped out by
National Chairman Harry S. New to
govern the proceedings of the cop1-
lmittee in hearing the contests is
carried out, little opportunity for
fine arguments or oratorical effort
VIII be presented. This program will
be submitted to the committee for
faction Immediately upon the session
being called TO order. II will pro-
vide for daily meetings to begin at
10 a. m. and continue until six
p. m. without recess for luncheon.
Thirty minutes for each side will be
lallowed In state contests involving
the seating of four delegates-at-
large and their alternates in each
case. There are eleven such contests
the states being Alabama. Florida
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina. Oklahoma. South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The
remaining delegates in contest are
from scattering districts in the states
named and Arkansas, Kentucky, Mis-
souri, Ohio. Alaska. Arizona and
pennsylvania.

Such use of public officials would

ministration, and such signs OF
growing subserviency to the de-
mands for centralized government
should be checed before it is too
late.
If the Secret Service can be used
by the officials Of the Navy Depart
ment to spy into the family affairs
of subordinate officers, 1t could also
be used for political purposes to
spy upon the doings of Democrats
and others who desire to rero
abuses in the government which
