coalition was formed by the contested 1 delegates and members of the na- tional committee and minority of from republican states. This coalition formed Substantial majority of the committed Its pur- pose was to prevent the hearing of all testimony by timing the contest ants to five minutes to put cases. This coalition in the committee re- suited in bringing in the reports sooner than they could be prepared making it evident that the reports have been prepared before hand and merely adopted as a formality. No time was furnished the unorganized delegates to consider their cases or prepare and present them to the convention.
 It is plain that if these contested delegates are seated they will not only create a majority of which less than One-half represent republican states. but that this majority will also be composed of delegates inn properly seated in violation of good parliamentary law and common mor- als. It is plain that this was not accomplished by mere partisanship but was the result of a comprehensive plan prepared in advance and delib- erately carried out, to control the re- publican convention against repub- lican voters. We call the serious at tention of the delegates to this con- vention to the fact that any nominee can have little claim for republican 
 democratic states and territories for his election"
 Republican leaders directing the af- fairs of the national convention are going to try tomorrow to work three days into one. With the permanent organization yet to be effected seV- eral important C ntest cases will be heard. the rules adopted. the plat 1 form threShed out and the nomina- | tiOns for president and vice presi- | dent be made. The convention will | be called to order at 10 a. m. and every possible effort will be made 1 to dispose of the accumulated busi- ness before an adjournment is taken. | It seemed a fOregone conclusion to- night that Taft will be nominated 1 on the first ballot. Roosevelt indi- cated that his name would not be presented in the tainted convention if his wishes were followed
 l Talk of a compromise candidate was dropped two days ago and has | showed no sign of revival It is generally believed that the delegates 1 instructed for Roosevelt would offer 1 his name despite his expressed desire l The Roosevelt forces have not aban- 1 doned their general fight in the con ventiOn and a hard struggle is in
 prospect tomorrow over the Texas and Washington cases.
 The new rules which the Roosevelt people say were framed to perpetu- ate the political system of controlling
 the national convention is sure to
 precipitate a heated debate, while the
 platform may be assailed by the La
 Toilette delegates as well as by some l of the Roosevelt faction. So, it is with some trepidation that the lead
 CTS look forward tonight to accom- plishing of the task before them by Sunday morning. The platform makers determined tonight to disre- 1 gard entirely the question of women suffrage. A compromise was reached by the committee on the tariff plank declaring that the tariff is a matter for consideration by a tariff board.
 Justice Hughes of the United States supreme court, evidently disturbed by the prominence given his name in the talk of a compromise candidate several days ago, has sent two tele- grams to Chairman Root cOuched in the most positive form to the effect that his name must not be considered for the presidential nomination and that if nominated, would decline the honor.
 It is reported tonight that Col Roosevelt had already told William | A Prendergast who was to place him in nomination not to present his name unless the present control of the
 body should by chance be overturned
