WEIGH MUST GO.

Santa Fe, N. M, June 22.-Gover-
nor Mcdonald today honored the re-
QUESTION of the governor of Colorado
for the return to Colorado Springs
of Edgemont D. Welch also known as
Farwell D. West now held in Albu-
querque charged with bigamy.
Welch's attorney, it is said, gave up
the fight today and will defend his
client in Colorado. Martin M. Burns
of Colorado Springs, district attor-
ney, came to Santa Fe to urge that
the extradition papers be honored.
The only question was as to whether
or not the papers were drawn prop
erly and when the governor was in
formed they were correct, the prop
er papers from New Mexico were or
dered issued. Welch will be taken
to Colorado tomorrow.
District Attorney Burns said that
welch is accused of having married
Iva S. Black in Colorado, while his
first wife was in Michigan. She
learned of the marriage after WEIGH
had been married three years be-
cause he started divorce proceedings.
The case involved a lengthy investi-
CATION during which Welch and his
second wife came to Albuquerque.
The second wife has declared she
will stand by Welch to the last.

Chicago, June 22.-It was the hope
of the party leaders as the fifth day
of the republican national conven'
ton opened to conclude the work late
tonight Before going to the conven-
tion hall, Governor Hadley conferred
for some time with Colonel Roosevelt
81 shall remain in the convention,
said the governor. Whether ] shall
join any party but the republican par
ty is a question"
Colonel Roosevelt gave little heed
today to the proceedings of the CON
vention, bending his efforts chiefly
toward the formation of the new par
ty.
Western Man for Vice President
AS to a vice presidential candidate
sentiment had not yet crystalized this
morning in favor of any one aspirant
It was generally conceded, however,
that New York, IS of whose delegates
had supported President Taft con-
silently in the convention, was en-
titled to the distinction of naming
the candidate. Though Vice Presi-
dent Sherman's chances loomed large
there was feeling among some OF
the New York delegates that another
nominee could be named who would
develop greater strength in the west
ern states.
Sherman or some man west of the
Missisissippi," was as definite an an
swer as any one in position to be in
formed would give to the vice presi-
dent question. Lawrence Y. Sherman
of Illinois was brought into the light
of possibilities as a part Of the hare
mony program put forward today.
Not more than 100 delegates we're
in their seats at s:45 o'clock. The
galleries were practically empty. Not
a single official had put in an ap-
pearance except Sergeant-at-Arms
Stone. who was busy comforting with
his assistants and the convention po-
lice.
There was talk of an attempt at a
Roosevelt demonstration. Chairman
Root issued orders to the sergeant-at-
arms and the police that no delegar
tions were to be allowed to march
into the hall. Orders were issued to
bar all banners. 1t was 1O:43 when

Not Release Them
He ISSUES A HIGH PITCHED STATEMENT
Asserts the Gathering Chicago MOI Representative Of G. P
Which Explains His Reasons For Not Feeling Entirely Home
in That Assembage ROass the National Committee
and Says the Men Nominated by the Delegates II
Has Seated Have No Claim for Party Suffrage

Chicago, June 22.--After making
preliminary arrangements for the or
ganization of a new party Colonel
Roosevelt today definitely severed his
relations with the republican national
convention. In statement setting
forth his position in this regard he
said that, since the convention had
declined to remove the delegates
whom, he contends, are fraudulent he
could not recognize its authority. He
urged his delegates to refrain from
voting in the convention although stat
ing that in case they did vote he
would not free them from the obliga-
ton to cast their ballots for him.
Colonel Roosevelt at 12:4O issued
this statement:
"a clear majority of the delegates
honestly elected to this convention
were chosen by the people to nominate
me. Under the direction, and with
the encouragement of Mr.. Taft, the
majority of the national committee,
by the so-called steam roller" me-
thids, and with scandalous disregard
of every principle of elementary hon
esty and decency, stole so or 80 dele
gates, putting in the temporary roll
call sufficient number of fraudulent
delegates to defeat the legally express
ed will of the people and to substitute
dishonest for an honest majority.
"The convention has now declined
to purge the roll of the fraudulent del
egates placed thereon by the defunct
national committee; and the majority
which thus endorsed the fraud was
made a majority only because it in
cluded the fraudulent delegates them
selves, who all sat as judges on one
another's cases. If these fraudulent
votes had not thus been cast and
counted the convention would have
been purged of their presence. This
action makes the convention, in no
proper sense. any longer a republican
convention representing the real re-
publican party. Therefore hope the
men elected as Roosevelt delegates
will now decline to vote on any mat
ter before the convention. I do not
release any delegate from his honor
able obligation to vote for me if he
votes at all, but under the actual con-
ditions I hope that he will not vote at
all.
"The convention as now composed
has no claim to represent the voters
of the republican party. 1t represents
nothing but successful fraud in over

LIBEL TRIAL IN DENVER.

Denever, Colo. June 22.--The trial
of Fred G. Bonfils and H. H. Tam
men, charged with criminal libel, is
docketed to begin in court here Mon
day and from present indications it
will be one of the most sensational
trials of the kind ever held in the
west. The charges were brought by
William G. Evans and were the out
growth of the recent muni ipal cam
paign in this city. The Denver Post,
of which Messrs. Bonfils and Tam
men are the proprietors, announces
editorially that the defendants will
call as witnesses practically all of the
prominent men Of Denver, including
bankers, editors, politicians, Jail

ers and takers"

riding the will of the rank and file Of
the party. Any man nominated by
the convention as now constituted
would be merely the beneficiary OF
this successful fraud; it would be
deeply discreditable to any iran to
accept the conventions nomination
under these circumstances; and any
man thus accepting it would have no
claim to the support of any republican
on party grounds, and would have for
feited the right to ask the support Of
any honest man of any party on
normal grounds.

gates and their alternates, who were
excluded from the convention, met
Colonel Roosevelt in body. The
colonel held brief reception, inform
ed them that the plans for new par
ty were being pushed forward rapid
ly and urged them to stand firm.
1t was his first intention to meet
them by state delegations. but they
collected so rapidly in the corridors
near his office that it was decided to
marshal them all into the Roosevelt
national committees assembly hall at
one time
1t was decided definitely this after
noon that before the adjournment of
the convention or Immediately after
there will be held a meeting of Roose-
velt delegates who wish to enlist in
the new party. The meeting prob
ably will be held tonight.
The Roosevelt delegates in the re-
publican national convention started

vention late this afternoon when Hen
