Thirteenth District.

In the Thirteenth Indiana there was
no question about the victory of the
Taft men. because the temporary chair
man representing the Taft side was
conceded to have been elected by one
half a vote more than the Roosevelt
candidate. This one half vote extended
through the riotous proceedings, and
although it WAS not as wide as barn
door it was enough. The chairman put
the question as to electing the Taft
delegates, and after continuous objec
ton lasting three hours declared the
vote carried. The Roosevelt men thus
prevented roll call and then bolted.

CALIFORNIA.
Fourth District.

The Fourth California presented this
question: Under the state law the dele
CATION. two from each district, was
elected on general ticket, in group
Of twenty six Each delegate might
either express his presidential prefer
ence or agree to vote for the presiden-
tal candidate receiving the highest
number in the state In the Fourth
district the two candidates from that
district on the Taft ticket expressed
a preference FOR Taft, but did not
agree to vote for the candidates haV
ing the highest state vote These Taft
delegates in the Fourth district re
ceived majority of 200 more than
the Roosevelt delegates in that dis
trict The national call forbade any
law or the acceptance of any law
which prevented the election OF dele
gates by districts In other words, the
call of the national convention was at
variance with the state law. The state
law sought to enforce the state unit
rule and required the whole twenty
six delegates to be voted for all over
the state, assigning two to each dis
trict on the ticket to abide the state
wide election, while the Republican
national convention has insisted upon
the unit of the district since 1880. That
has been the party law This conven-
ton recognized the party law and held
Il to be more binding than that of the
state law and allowed the two dele
gates who had received IN the Fourth
district vote larger than their two
opponents assigned to that district, to
become delegates IN the convention.
rhts was clearly lawful. for a state has
no power to limit or contro! the basis
of representation of q voluntary ma
tional party in national convention
The fact that President Taft by tele
gram approved all the twenty six dele
gates as representing him is said to be
an estoppe against his claiming the
election of two Of those delegates In
their Fourth district What Is there
inconsistent In his approving the can
didacy Of all his delegates and the
election Of two Of them? Why should
he be thus estopped to claim that part
of the law was imperative because In
conflict with the call of the convention?

OKLAHOMA.
Third District
In the Third Oklahoma district the
question Of the validity of the seats of
the delegates turned on the constitu-
ton Of the congressional committee,
which was made up of twelve Taft
men and seven Roosevelt men. The
chairman, Cochran, was a Roosevelt
man and attempted to prevent the ma.
jority of the committee from taking
action. The chairman was removed
and another substituted, and thereupon
the convention was duly called to order
on the temporary roll prepared by the
congressional committee, which was
made the permanent roll, and the two
Taft delegates to Chicago were duly
selected. Every county in the district
had its representation and vote in the
regular convention, and no person
properly accredited as delegate was
excluded or dsbarred from participat-
Ing in its proceedings Cochran and
his followers bolted after his deposi
don- Assuming that all the committee
who went out With him had the right
to act on the committee, II left the
committee standing twelve for Taft
and seven for Roosevelt, 50 1t was sim
ply question whether a majority of
the committee had the right to control
its action or minority. The boiling
convention which Cochran held was
not attended by majority of the duly
elected delegates to the convention. It
did not have tbe credentials from the
various counties, and It's membership
was largely made up of bystanders
who had not been duly accredited By
any county in the district. Its action
was entirely without authority.

gave rise to q question of fact upon
which a very large majority of both
the national committee and the COM
mittee ON credentials held that the

showing the vote of four years ago,
when he was beaten by Mcclellan for

ures that his defeat was entirely due
to scratching by Republicans, and ad-
vanced this as an argument for the
straight ticket. He also asked for fair
play for the Hawaiians and protested
against the scratching of candidates by
the whites, just because they bore Ha-
waiian names.

the Hawaiian candidates.
