in Florida, was responsible for the
use of alleged forged tickets of admis-
sion TO the state convention hall. This
charge was made in the form of an
admission by Former United States
District Attorney j n Stripping, one
OF the anti-Taft contestants. who
spoke in opposition 10 the seating of
the Taft delegation. 1t created a dis
tfnct sensation.
The claim that forged tickets had
been used for the purpose of packing
the convention hall had been made by
Henry s. Chubb. state chairman. and
one of the delegates-at-large instruct
ed TO vote for the nomination of Sec
rotary Taft. When Mr.. Stripping of
the opposing delegation, which favored
the nomination of Senator Foraker
arose to reply his attention was direct
ed TO the charge by Frank S. StreeteT
of New Hampshire.
Name of Congressman Given.
The charge has been made that
forged tickets were used by your sup
porters IN gaining admission TO the
convention" said Mr.. Streeter. and he
followed the statement with the direct
question:
DO you know where those tickets
came from, and how they came to be
used?"
Mr.. Stripping did not reply until he
was reminded by Mr.. Streeter that his
reply was awaited
Il am under the impression that
they were obtained at the suggestion
of Butler Ames, who was then in St
Augustine" said Mr. Stripping. He
was not questioned further.
Representative Ames was in Flori-
da, as we'll as in several other south
ern states, prior to the conventions
held to name delegates to the national
convention.
How the Tickets Were Secured.
In connection with the charge that
forged tickets were used in Florida
there was made public today the story
of the printing of those tickets over
which the controversy had arisen. II
appears that the original tickets We're
printed in Jacksonville, at the direc-
ton of State Chairman Chubb. After
he had secured the tickets, it is said
a representative of the people opposed
TO the COOmbs-Chubb faction visited
the same printing shop and said that
Mr.. Chubb wanted an additional 200
tickets. They were struck off by the
unsuspecting printer and charged to
Mr.. Chubb's account.
For convenience the form used by
Mr.. Chubb was the admit bearer"
this being for the benefit of some of
the negro delegates who could not
write. Therefore. the alleged spurious
tickets We're not different from the
genuine, and the dOOTkeepers at the
convention had no recourse but to ad-
nit any person possessing one of the
tickets. The members of the anti
Taft faction had the foresight to reach
the hall first, and they were in control
when the Chubb delegates arrived.
The latter were compelled to go else
where to hold their convention.
They said they were Outwitted by
Yankee trickery." What they meant
by the term was shown by the dis
closure today

WHITE HOUSE REJOlClNGS
ROOSEVELT PLEASED WITH THE
RESULT AT CHICAGO.

Washington. June president RoOse-
Welt. Secretary Taft, Secretary Root and
Senator Burkett of Nebraska had a gen
eral and extended political talk in the
presidents offices this afternoon. Per-
haps the most interesting and significant
developments Of the conference were the
serious consideration given 10 the prob
lem OF selecting a chairman of the ma
tiOnal committee and the fact that Frank
II. H1tchcOcks name was left practically
at the top of the list of those regarded
as available.
The action of the national committee
at Chicago in confirming the White House
prediction that the committee was by
slarge majority friendly 10 the Taft can
didacy made il eXpedient that further
steps should be taken in pertecting the
details OF events which are 10 follow the
decision of the contests. That the work
of the committee has given the great
est satisfaction to the president and 10
the Taft forces here is evidenced in many
ways, although il is impossible TO get
an expression for quotation from any in
terested source.
Platform Discussion.
Much time was given today TO the dis
cusslOn OF the platform This document
will be completed Tuesday, according TO
prediction. and its tariff feature is as
Stunning greater Importance than any
other. The discussion turned on the inn
portanes OF making clear 10 the voter

ately after the Inauguration. To make
this promise effective II viii be neces-
sary for the dominant party 10 elect, not
only the head of the ticket, but a ma
jority OF the members of the lower house
OF congress. With this machinery il was
stated revision would be assured, but
should the house be allowed to go Demo-
cratic. the senate remaining Republican,
of necessity cross purposes and no action
would result
Merely Suggestions"
1t is expected that the language Of the

that it will be made impressive on the
stump. Wade Ellis, who is working on

pected TO bring the finished product TO

The experience of Mr.. Hitchcock and his
close connection with Mr.. COrtelyou in
the last campaign. together with the IA
miliarity he already possesses with the
