county delegation. The majority re-

unanimously by the convention, no del

WASHINGTON.


The contest in Washington turned Oh
the question whether the Taft dele
gates appointed by the county com
mittee in King county, in which Seattle
is situate, were duly elected to the
convention or whether a primary.
which was subsequently held and at
which Roosevelt delegates were elect.
ed, was properly called. so that its re-
suit was legal. Under the law the
county committee had the power to de
eide whether it would select the dele
gates directly or should call primary
In some counties Of the state one
course was pursued and in other coun-
ties the other In King county the
committee consisted of $50 men, the
majority Of whom were for Taft, and
that majority. acting through its exec.
utive committee, selected the Taft dele
gates to the state convention. Mean
time the city council of Seattle had re.
districted the city. 1t before had $50
precincts. Now substantially the same
territory was divided up into 381 pre-
cincts. The chairman Of the county
committee was Roosevelt man. He
had been given authority by general
resolution to fill vacancies occurring in
the committee. A general meeting of
the committee had been held after the
city council had directed the redistrict-
ing OF the city, in which it was re-
solved. the chairman not dissenting
that representatives could not be Sc
lected to fill the 331 new precincts un-
til an election was held in September,
1912. Thereafter and in spite of this
conclusion the chairman assumed the
right by his appointment to add to the
existing committee 131 precinct com
mitteemen, and with these voting in
the committee it is claimed that a pri
mary was ordered. There was so much
confusion in the meeting that this is
doubtful. However. the fact is that
the Taft men protested against any
action by a committee so constituted
on the ground that the chairman had
no authority to appoint the 131 new
committeeman. They refused TO take
part in the primary, and so did the La
Toilette men. The newspapers report
ed the number of votes in the primary
to be something over 5000. The Roose
velt committee showed by affidavit the
number to be 5000 out Of a usual total
Republican vote of $4,000 The action

Eighth District.

In the Eighth congressional conven-

and minority reports of the executive
committee as to the temporary roll
The Roosevelt followers controlled the
executive committee, but did not have
a majority in the convention. which
adopted the minority report and gave
Taft five and one-haIf votes and Roose

gates, who were seated by both the
national committee and the credentials

INDIANA.

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 a 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
