presentation that the contests were INV

Contests Easily Decided.
A. NJ. Stevenson. the member OF the
committee from Colorado and a Iaft
worker. said:
Each party to these contests was given
the full time allotted by the rules of the
committee without regard to the merits
of his case. More. than ninety per cent
of the contests were determined by viva
voce vote and with practical unanitnity.
IN no contest case was there roll call.
Many contests were of the most frivolous
character. and it was shameful to take
the time of the committee for their con-
sideraton.
"Tn every case where seats were award
cd to friends Of Secretary Taft the con-
tests were decided strictly on their merits.
In most of the cases where his opponents
were seated they were seated without
having a title from the regularly constl-
tuted authority of the party and for the
reason that the committee was opposed
to anything tainted with 'lily-White-

National Committeeman L. c. Duncan
of North Carolina declared that the hear
