CONTEST
OF Taft Delegates Rights is
Now Planned by Roose-
welt Followers.

sam FRANCISCO. May 1O.-Failure
OF the Taft delegates in California
to sign preference and delegate
pledges promises a complex situation.
Roosevelt supporters already have
planned to contest the delegates
should they be elected, Both sides
are agreed that Taft delegates had
q legal right to omit signing the
pledges since both pledges under the
law are optional. Roosevelt leaders
declare THE purpose of the action
was to save struggling votes for Taft
in the event Roosevelt carried a ma
jorfty of the districts. Had they
signed the pledges they would have
been obliged to vote for Roosevelt
as the pledges bind them to support
the candidate who shall receive the
largest number Of votes IN the state

"a am glad to be with you tonight
This is my first visit to Brooke and
j have been delighted with my recep-
tion here. 1 shall feel amply repaid
for my visit no matter whether you
shall select me as your candidate or
not.
MY personal ambitions have not
been along a public line but l have
served the Republican party ia any
way l could. Upon assurance given
me Of my election 1 consented to
serve as a member of our county
court. I said, If elected, 1 would
serve the people as a whole and not
as a part. When I was through, al
though we had our difficulties, 1 had
the confidence of the business peo-
pie of my county.
"In 1908 l was put on the ticket
for the state senate against my will
and over my protest, as l was active.
ly engaged in the practice of my pro-
.fession as i am now. I was elected
over my opponent by an overwhelm-
ing majority. During my term I
was called to vote upon several mat
tiers that did not meet my approval
fully, bat 1 deferred my personal de-
sires to the will of my constituents.
eff you elect me as your standard
bearer, will serve you as a whole
party and not as a. part or a faction!
J am not connected with any faction.
fractional strife and discord has
torn us into disunion in West vir-
glnia. I am a Republican in the
middle of the road and neither rep
resent o am connected with any
faction. l will serve the people Of
West Virginia to the best OF my
and Judgment.
81 have come ont squarely in the
newspapers of the state as to what I
shall stand for and advocate If
elected governor. I believe this Is
the duty of every candidate. II af.
ter you have read my platform and
have studied the matter over care
fully, you recide upon someone else,
1 will accept that as a fair de-
.clsion."
The speaker referred to his ex-
perience in the senate and the diff
encountered and urged upon
his. hearers the necessity of securing
for the party a majority in the pop
branch of the state legislature.

BIG Thing FOR

run from Colorado Springs to this city
on Tuesday were a couple of hours
behind schedule time in reaching here.
due to the insuffIciency of water car
ried by one of the cars for making
steam and the exhaustion OF the gas
oline supply on the other. The trouble
took place about six miles beyond
Cripple Greek and resulted in a delay
that necessitated the abandonment x
the trip from this city to the top Of
the Royal Gorge. The cars worked ad-
mirably and the detention on the way
over was in no wise attributable TO
their lack of power or to any imper-
fection in their construction.
Twenty-Five people made the trip
from the Pixies Peak district here and
among them were representatives ef
the company owning the cars and
delegates from the Colorado Springs
Automobile club. the board OF county
commissioners, the FL Paso County
Good Roads association and the va
rious commercial organizations OF
Colorado Springs and Manitou. De-
spite the vexatious delay on the way
here the trip WAS greatly enjoyed by
those privileged to make il and they
were profuse in their praise OF the
magnificent scenry along the road.
shortly after their arrival here a run
was made around Soda point and bac k
to town over the Skyline drive. thirty
five minutes being required to make
the trip.
The cars are twelve passenger Stan
ley steamers and can make the steep
est grades on any of the roads about
Canon City with the greatest ease.
Being propelled by steam power there
is no low. high or intermediate gea-.
as is the case with gasoline cars. and
they are operated In much the same
manner as a railway locomotive. They
have deep. comfortably upholstered
seats and their long. elastic springs
render them splendid vehicle to ride
In.

dinner at the strathmore hotel, where
