~ In toto. If there had been any
lingering doubt of the Taft strength it
disappeared before this decisive &C.
ton. which in effect placed upward of
700 delegates in the Taft column.
Equally important, and even more re-
markable, was the final acceptance of
this result by the "allies" without the
formality of dissenting minority re-

ton to the floor of the convention for
the open fight, which had been long
threatened.
The resolution offered by James

ing the representation of states to a
basis of Republican votes cast by
those states was defeated by a vote
of SOC to All after a bitter fight on
the floor of the convention.
