themselves, but they did not succeed IN
carrying out tie prearranged program

the leaders to hold in check. and resolu-
tions were adopted endorsing William
III. Taft for the presidency
On the other side OF the hall. the con
testing convention took conservative ac-
tion and chose delegates untrammeled
BY instructions. positive assurance being
given BY Joseph NJ Stripping, who led
the movement. that despite the fact
that they were branded as bolters hy

named would be seated in the national

resolutions approving the policies of the

servative manner in which the president
