conventions to select delegates TO district
conventions, which in turn will select
members of the new state committee E.
were held to-day and in every county in
the State there Were sharp contests he
tween the supporters of Thomas Tag
gart and the friends of Gov. Marshall
The Taggar men were particularly
aggressive everywhere and Il was under
stood among them that control of the
State committee by Taggarts friends
would mean that the delega tion to the
national convention would be tied To the
Governor only to the extent Of a compli-
mentary vote If il was clear that he had no
chance TO win.
Al the Taggart headquarters tonight
it is said that he will have a majority of
the new committeeman, but ret urns from
only few of the county conventions will
be received tonight and any estimate of
results must be based upon conjecture
only In the districts where there were
no contests between candidates for dis

the best of il, but there are only three of
these and il will take seven 10 make d

BELMONT on CONTRIBUTIONS.
says Harriman's Mite Must Be Credited
to whole Cnmpaign,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.--Perry Belmont.
who ia an advocate Of full publication of
campaign expenditures issued a state
ment today in which he said.
The question of fact raised during the
campaign Of 1904 has never been settled.
The general charge then made by the Demo-
cratic leaders that the Republican national
committee had received contributions from
corporations has never been Contradictcd
The answer of MIR. Roosevelt and his de
denders at that time was that no promise
or agreements had been made on account
of the contributions received The answer
to that was that the close alliance then
existing between the Republican orRani2a-
ton and the trusts and of which the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron incident is now suffl-
cient evidence. manlfestly made such prom
ises unnecessary So far as the Demo-
cratic national committee was concerned
II had refused to accept any corporation
contributions at the request Of th" Demo-
cratic candidate for President.
The latest explanation of Mr.. Roosevelt
and his defenders IL less conclusive than
anything hitherto advanced by them. II is
"a special plea in II distinction drawn by MIR.
Roosevelt and Mr. Sheldon between state
and national elections This is in direct
conflict with the decision Of the Supreme
court in the SpibOld case. In which the rule
of law on the subject is laid down and
which declares that national and state
elections held at the same time constitute
one election.
In other words the Hartman Contribu-
ton whether made for the purpose of
electing MIR. Higgins Governor or Mr.
Roosevelt President. was IA contribution
TO the same election Under the decision
referred to II would he no defence in the
cnse OF an alleged violation of the law IN re
spect 10 the use Of money in an election
for the President to claim that the money
had been received for the purpose Of elect
ing the Governor of n state
Mr.. Belmont adds that beyond recon-
mendation in his first message to Congress
Immediately following the campaign
agitation which continued after the cleo
ton. MIR. Roosevelt did not give during
the whole of his term Of Office the slightest
aid To the movement for campaign pub
