Chicago, June 19.-Tkeodore Roose-
velt's ambition to enjoy a third term as
President Of the United States expert
cnced a signal defeat in the Republican
National Convention to-day. In the one
vote taken to-day, on a question vital to
the interests Of the ex-President, Mr.
Taft won by j64 TO 80, despite the fact
that the twenty-six delegates from Wis
consin, all Of whom are instructed for
Senator La Toilette; eight from North
Dakota, similarly instructed, and the ten
from Iowa instructed for Senator Cum
nirs. all voted for the Roosevelt mo-
ton.
The vote came on motion offered by
Representative Watson, Of Indiana. 10
table the amendment offered by Gov
ernor Deneen Of Illinois. which. II
adopted, would have precluded all dele
gates whose seats had been contested
from taking part in the election Of mem
bers Of the committee on credentials or
from voting on the report Of that COM
nrtee. The motion to BILE this amend
ment was carried by vote Of 564 TO $40.
Announcement Of this victory caused
considerable demonstration on the part
Of Taft supporters. which, however, was
soon checked by Senator Root who, be-
cause Of the lateness Of the hour, felt it
necessary to curtail the enthusiasm Of
the delegates in order that the COM
mittees might go to work
To-day's session was marked by a
demonstration Of enthusiasm lasting
fifty minutes, which began with cheering
for, Governor Hadley Of Missouri. the
Taft men being brought into il by the
. appearance Of x-Representative James
Watson at the front Of the stage and
which was later converted into a Roose-

colonel and the efforts Of young
actress. This young woman waved a
autograph Of the ex-President from the
gallery, later headed a march Of dele
gates through the auditorium and was
led TO the platform, and by her girlish
beauty and becoming dress aroused the
delegates TO the highest pitch of en-

was the collateral ovation given 10 Will

IN the press reservation to observe the
proceedings, was greeted with a storm
Of cheers and shouts for Bryan this
being doubtless the first time in the his

in one Of its conventions.
Colonel Gets Scared.
Colonel Roosevelt who was listening
TO the proceedings through a dictagraph
IN his rooms III the Congress Hotel, be-

Governor HadIey and gave orders that
the Governor be requested TO retire from
the stage. which he did. while Medil

the gallery to exhibit the picture % the
colonel.
An effort was made by the Kansas and
other delegations, led by Governor

committee.
Senator Root having ruled as germane
the motion Of Governor Hadley to SUBJ
