Chicago, June Political cosmet-
les wrought a Kable change yes
terday in the coinp~-xion of the repuo-
lican national committee, which Will
be reorganized Immediately after the
adjournment Of the convention. With
a few exceptions the principal man

! blown up with that over-worked jug
sernaut
Col. Harry s. New Of Indiana. was
! the only member Of the old guard who
| retired voluntarily. The others were
| unceremoniously pushed into the dis
| card by Representatives of indignant
! constituencies.
Caucuses held by the various state
| delegations revealed the sweeping dis
approval of the high handed action vi
| the retiring committeeman. who aided
in the sacrifice Of Roosevelt delegates
! in the desperate attempt to give Pres
| ident Taft majority IN the convention
on the temporary roll.
"Old Guard" Displaced.
Victor Rosewatsr of Nebraska, CHAIR
man of the committee, was displaced
| by r. 3. Howell; David W. Mulvane OF
| Kansas, gave way to William Allen
White, editor and author; Charles Ma
gel OF Missouri. Taft cabinet mem
| Der, was supplanted by Thomas Is.
! Niedringhaus; Arthur !. Vorys of Ohio,
the Taft campaign manager In the
presidents home state. was vanquished
| by Walter F. Brown. and Senator Boise
Penrose of Pennsylvania reluctantly
stepped aside for William Finn.
There were others in addition to the
| notables listed, including former Gov
| ernor Franklin Murphy of New Jersey
who was swamped in the Jersey pri-
marics. and former Senator n. b. Scott
| Of West Virginia, who must relinquish
his seat to William Seymour Edwards
| The victors in the states mentioned
were all Roosevelt men.
Senator Murray Crane. the Massa
\ chusetts member of the committee |:
1 desperately clinging to his seat. The
! Bay state delegation Is split and the
Roosevelt men insist Crane must be
dropped.
The saddest blow OF the Taft forces
was the defeat OF Vorys. 1t was not
unexpected, but the presidents mana
gers WINGED when they learned Walter
| Brown. the state chairman. who
! handled the Roosevelt campaign in the
| Buckeye state, had been picked as
Vorys' successor.
NassI Defeat HadIey Victory.
Another blow was the displacement
! of Senator Penrose by "Bill" Finn. the
| Roosevelt leader who whipped the old
| gang in the keystone state. Secretary
Nagle's defeat was viewed as a victory
| for Governor Hadley. as we'll as a near
personal rebuke to the president.
The temper of the progressive dele
gates was manifest in many Of the
meetings. The action OF the Ne
| braslea delegation in adopting scath-
! ing arraignment OF Chairman Rose
water was typical
The entire delegation signed the res
olution, which repudiated Rosewater In
| the strongest terms for misrepresent-
| ing the wishes of the republicans of
his state.
Resolution AssaiIs Rosevvatsr.
The resolution follows:
eve, the republican delegates Of the
! state of Nebraska, assembled, hereby
| reaffirm our unwavering allegiance to
| the candidacy OF Theodore Roosevelt.
| We represent a state in which the re-
puhlicans voted for the progressive
policies represented by Colonel Roose-
! Welt by an Overwhelming majority.
1.-The republicans Of Nebraska have
been Inundated by the action OF our
! national committeeman, Victor Rose
water, who has been personally re-
! pudiated by the republicans OF our
state, and who did not represent our
! wishes or views Of the republican party
| Of Nebraska In the deliberation OF the
! national committee.
| I'VE condemn and repudiate in the
strongest terms his actions and hereby
demand in the name of the republican
| party Of our state that he change his
attitude and truly represent the repub-
lican party OF the state OF Nebraska.
