The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1912-06-18

CHICAGO, Coliseum, June 1S.-12 m.
When the republican national con-
ycntiOn opened at noon today the Taft
men had fatty refused the demand of
the Roosevelt forces that they agree
to a proposition that no vote OH the
temporary organization be valid un-
less it received an affirmative vote of
$40 delegates, majority of whose
right to seats was unquestiOned.
The Roosevelt men declared that
proposition was made in the interests
OF harmony and also because it was
desired that the proceedings OF the
convention would be such as would re-
unite the party.
The Taft men declared that the
proposition would mean simply dead
lock.
A great line of uniformed police
were scattered about the coliseum
and with them were 400 special dep
uty sheriffs.
Harmony Talk a Fake.
In turning down the Roosevelt prop
osition as to voting on the temporary
organization, the Taft men contended
it would be impossible to obtain har-
mony and an affirmative vote from $40
delegates.
The asserted that the Roosevelt men
were trying to delay the convention.
When the Taft leaders turned down
the proposition the Roosevelt men sent
a protest demanding that he interfere
and compel his representatives on the
osition.
The Taft leaders insisted that it
was not a matter OF the president to
interfere in.
A final roundup of the Roosevelt
chieftains was held in Senator DiXon's
room at o'clock. 1t was said by those
who participated that they were en-
tirely satisfied with situation.
The plans of the leaders were mod
flied so that all suggestions of
physical force to obtain control of the
convention were abandoned.
At the outset they planned to make
the fight entirely along parliamentary
lines.
A number of those who participated
in the conference insisted that even
though they might not have control of
the committees they would still be able
TO nominate Roosevelt if they could
act inside the convention hall.
The Taft managers also conferred.
1t was agreed that Chairman Rose
water would go right through with
the reading of the temporary dele
gates roll prepared by the national
committee and that he would decline

When Payne arose to speak some
Roosevelt man shouted where's Aid

This is a proposition of order or
chaos" said Payne.
How about the tariff bill" some
one demanded.
Payne stuck to his ground but was
plainly disconnected when he gave
way to Watson.
Watson got hot welcome from the
Taft men but was Kissed by the
RoOsevelters.

Police Clear Aisles.

While the police were clearing the
aisles after Rosewater's attempt TO
make himself heard in trying to tell
the delegates that flashlight picture
was to be taken, La Follette's dele

box affair on the four sides of which
were legends boosting Battle BOD.

The Difference Between the Arc Light

1t is q curious fact that while the

speaking, there are two kinds Of cleo

Of the difference between the two.
The arc light and the incandescent
light differ wholly in principle, in
brilliancy. in appearance and in the
mode Of use. The distinguishing diff

tween arc and incaDdescent lights may
be briefly stated thus: Arc lights burn
