eral other men in the conference of the

bers of the credentials committee
Roosevelt delegates poured into the
room of the Congress hotel.

Boilers in Factions.
The Roosevelt delegates split into
some urging that the commit
teemen go back, participate in the de-
and submit minority re-
port to the convention. Others clam
ored that the boilers stand fast At
times the meeting was in an uproar
When the delegates had been called
TO order in the FIOrentine room VIII
liam Finn, of Pennsylvania, made a
speech ------
The issue has been Joined" he said.
L have just come from a two hours
Of the Pennsylvania deIega-
ton and We voted unanimously to walk
out Of a Convention controlled by the
Taft forces through the thefts and
fraud Our decision carries with US
the Republican candidate for state
treasurer and a candidate for cangress
in Pennsylvania. These gentlemen held
that their personal interests were of
rela tive unimpOrtance as compared
with the principle at stake and the
duty they owed the people
we have been patient but the part,
ing of the ways has come"
Delegate King, of Nebraska, made a
speech in which he urged the boilers
to return to the committee room and
make minority report to the cOnven-
ton.
ROOseveIt Appears.
Then Col Roosevelt appeared.
I am going to ask you to take
recess until can get certain facts and
lay them before you, he said. i
earnestly counsel you not to discuss
what you intend to do until you have
the facts before you.
7 can tell you the general outline
of what I shall do, So far as I am
concerned, I shall never recognize in
a Republican convention Il majority
Of which a large part is composed Of |
fraudulently seated delegates from
the states of which governor Hadley
spoke today. That is not conven-
ton of the Republican party. A con-
elected by the people and not apkl
pointed by a moribund national com
mittee.
For Separate Convention.
I am for a convention in which sit
the men elected by the states of Wash
ingtOn and Arizona and not the men
appointed from Washington and Ari- |
iona by the defunct bosses Of other |
states I hold that this is MOI case of |
a fractional fight. The time has come
now When we must assert absolutely |
the right of the people to-run the ma
tonal convention, to have their own
representatives put in the convention. J
see that it was held today that OF
these contested delegates all are to
vote on one another's cases lon the |
ground of precedent The Argument
in favor of that precedent isl of the |
-ype of the argumnt made by b clever ]
corporation lawyer wren advising
corporations how TO keep Within a /
aW and yet do what the law Intended |
o forbid. This kind of a bad faith !
ritiates any proposition. FrAud de- |
itroys any contract
