CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 22.-Excite-
ment at fever heat and scenes of dis
order preceded the nomination of
President Taft to again head the ma
tional ticket. The convention opened
an hour late, seating Taft delegates
from Mississippi North Carolina, Ok
lanoma, Tennessee and Washington
on a majority report by the creden-
tials committee. This action
was looked upon by the revolution
lists as further evidence of the OPP
Grafton of the steam roller" and
was greeted with jeers and groans
from the galleries.
Before the convention came to Or
der there was a conference on plat
form, in which Chairman Root and
Senators Crane, Penrose and Smoot,
Charles ID. Hilles, William Barnes
and others took part. There was
continued bitter wrangling on the
floor over the chairmanship situa-
ton between the Root and Taft fac
ticns.
Twenty-Five delegates from Texas
were seated without argument, and
eight Taft delegates at large from
Texas were placed on the permanent
roll. The convention adjourned un-
til 1:30 p. m.
At the opening of the afternoon
session, Chairman Root announced
the completion of the work of the
credentials committee. The plank in
the platform favoring a direct pri-
mary vote. proposed by Governor
Hadley, was lost by bare majority.
Colonel Roosevelt issued a statement
denouncing the credentials commit
tee, and a meeting was planned for
tonight of Roosevelt delegates who
wish to enlist In new party.
Henry ]. Allen of Kansas followed
Roosevelt's statement with a speech,
In which he referred to IL as "Roose-
yelts yaledictory" This was follow
ed by a big demonstration and the
Roosevelt delegates began a wild pa

shops for repairs.

was found In working order, but

have resulted when the train ran of
the track. as otherwise the locomo-
tive would have gone upon the "Y''

rade. A fight was precipitated in
the convention hall, which was quick
ly stopped by the police.
The California delegates voted to
follow the leadership of Gov. John
son, who was one of the earliest ad-
vocates of the third party plan. Gov.
Johnson left the hall early in the
afternoon, after stating that he would
not sit in the convention during the
nomination of president, nor consider
himself bond by its acts, which he
said were fraudulent and forced
against the will of the people Gov.
Johnson takes the stand that the bas-
ic rights of the people have been
outraged and denied
The Mccormick charge that the re-
port of the credentials committee
had been prepared in advance was
met with a bitter denial by Chairman
Deyine of the committee, in which
he stated that ANY man who makes
such a statement is a wilful anu de-
liberate liar"
Following the adoption of the plat
form 1t was read by Charles Warren.
The reading was interrupted by ar
ovation for William j. Bryan, who
arose and left the hall. to go to Bal
timore.
Nominations for president were
called for $50, and five minutes lat
er Harding took the floor to place
in nomination the name of William
H. Taft. Harding concluded his NOM
ination speech at 6:55, and Chair
man Root introduced John Wanna
maker of Philadelphia to second the
nomination.
During the nomination proceed
ings Iowa and New York were called
in turn without reply. The name of
Cummins did not come from Iowa
nor that of the Roosevelt from the
Empire state.
After an all day session of the ex-
president and his leaders 1t was de-
cided by the Roosevelt delegates to
nominate him for president tonight.
The national convention opened
at Chicago last Tuesday and the
events which have followed as bear
ing on the existence of the Grand Old
Party have been watched with world
wide interest. There have been
scraps in former Republican conven-
tions, but nothing approaching the
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1912-06-23

scrap of 1912 between the support
ers of President William Howard
Taft for denomination, and Theodore
Roosevelt, ex-President of the ma
ton, who served seven years at the
head of the government, and again a
candidate.
The story of the proceedings of the
past four days reads more like the
exaggerated description of a wake
than of a deliberative body repre-
senting the best the country affords
in brains, patriotism and political
integrity. George Ade, the humor-
ist and political writer, has referred
to the convention as a bear garden
while William Jennings Bryan, the
Democrat who is going to cut a lot
of ice in the convention at Balti-
more next week, and is doing press
writing at Chicago, came out with
the statement that he needed a sport
ing editor to assist him in his
reportorial work. that he might ac-
eurately give the proper prize ring
terms.
1t was seen very soon after the
convention opened, that the session
was to be long drawn out and that
the choice of a national candidate
was not by any mems a foregone con-
clusion. The claims by both the Taft
and Roosevelt supporters that their
respective candidates would be nom-
mated on a first ballot, were soon
found to be without foundation, al
though it developed that the Taft
delegates were in the majority.
The fight assumed high pressure
proportions in the early hours of the
convention, when Roosevelt made
the claim that he was being openly
robbed of delegates. The situation
was still further intensified when
Governor Hadley of Missouri moved
an amendment to the temporary roll
call and to substitute the Roosevelt
delegates. Victor Rosewater was in
the chair at the time and the enter
ing wedge as to which list of dele
gates was to have the balance of
power came with the nomination of
candidates for temporary chairman.
These candidates were Governor Nc
Govern of Wisconsin and Elihu Root
of New York. The former was ac-
ceptable as representing the Roose-
Welt forces. while Root is an avowed
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1912-06-23

Taft man and exponent of what the
Roosevelt insurgents look upon as
the machine or steam roller wing
of the party.
The convention was formally
opened soon after noon, Tuesday, by
Rev. Father Callaghan, who offered
prayer, followed by the reading OF
the call for the convention, by Sec
retary Hayward. The moment the
call was read Governor Hadley, the
Roosevelt floor leader, was on his
feet and recognized by Chairman
Rosewater. This was the psyche
logical moment, the drop of the hat,
that preceded long period of
speechmaking, wrangling, points of
order, objections, rulings and coun-
ter rulings, incidental with the roll
call for the election of temporary
chairman. The convention develop
ed into a bedlam punctuated with
cries of Thieves" "Robber," and
the like, with alternate groans,
Kisses and cheers from the contend
ing factions. Henry A. Cochems of
Wisconsin nominated McGovern and
Job E. Hedges of New York second
ed the nomination of Root.
There was brief consultation of
the opposing forces on the stage.
,'hen Governor Hadley stepped to the
front of the stage and began his ar
gument. The plan of Roosevelt lead
ers announced two days previous was
being carried out apparently without
regard to the action of the Roosevelt
delegates who voted to put in reso-
luton requoreing $40 uncontested af-
firmative votes to carry any proposi-
ton.
Governor Hadley briefly announc-
ed again his motion and the fact that
Rosewater had ruled that a point of
order against his motion seemed to
be well taken.
Instead of following the illustrious
example of our distinguished lead
er William Mckinley when he
presided in a convention and invited
full debate and consideration of a
point of order, the present chairman
has asked only for brief statement
from each side," said Governor Had
ley. The mention of McKinley's
name evoked no applause.
II assert" he went on, " that the

not yet recovered from surprise at
the unexpected fate which descended
upon it. On the same trip Buffalo

dogs, but they were given their liber-

c. c. CAPERTON,
Chairman Sports Committee.
The Fourth of July celebration
committee held meeting in city
hall, Friday night, and decided that
the celebration be extended through
two days, as originally planned. This
action resulted from a suggestion
that the observance be confined to
one day, but the idea did not prove
popular nor find many supporters.
A band of ten pieces has been en-
gagged to furnish music for the two
days, with two evening concerts, and
the Eagle Fife and Drum corps will
also take part in the parade and
other events included In the celebra-
ton program.
Everything points to the success
of the celebration, and the several
committees are attending to all the
minor features as we'll as the more
important details. There will be
plenty of floats and interesting
features in the parade. and the deco
rations will be of elaborate charac-
ter. Arrangements are also being
made with the light and power COM
pany for a good lighting system.
Plank seats along the curbs will be
provided, the same as last year.
At Friday nights meeting the fl
nance committe reported $1363.5O
on deposit in the banks subject to
the order of the treasurer, and that
there were outstanding uncollected
subscriptions amounting to s255. It
is expected the total subscriptions
will reach at least $500.
