Furthermore, President Taft has
representation on the delegations from
seven of the states which Mr.. Roose-
welt has carried in this contest, in
creasing the number of political units
represented in his total of delegates
to 42 out of SO in the convention.
"In the face of this analysis of the
delegations by states as they have
been elected to the Chicago conven-
ton, the utter ahsurdity of the claims
of Mr.. Roosevelt and his managers
that they control the coming eonven-
ton is apparents. They will have in
fact, all the difficulty possible in man
aging sG-called Roosevelt sure del
egatee who already realize that they
are being led into a ditch, if not into
an actual belt by lost cause"
United States Senator Dixon when
told of the committee action In vot-
ing for sessions open to the press,
stated that the decision was a victory
in the committee for Col Roosevelt.
In this connection he said:
This is the first time we ever have
had any publicity of these matters at
all, and ii is the result of the demand
made by the friends of Col Roosevelt.
we NdHttt " ifdke our uSHl III
the open. We asked for the seating
of no man, who, under every rule of
justice, is not entitled to seat. We
were and are willing for the whole
world to know our position and the
facts upon which we base our claims.
We were and are willing to vote in
the open and have our vote recorded
in the open. / cannot understand how
any man, wishing only to seat men
who justly are entitled to seat,
should object to every ones knowing
how he votes
Beyond question, we have the le-
climate votes to nominate Roosevelt
by a safe majority. We want the pub
lie to know upon what we base that
claim. We will continue to insist that
the public know all the facts"
II. II. Howell of Nebraska, chosen
for national committeeman at the
state primaries, also issued state
ment after comforting with Senator
Dixon. Mr. Howelrs statement was as
follows:
MIR. Rosewater will retain his seat
in the national committee for the
present without contest as | have
been requested by Senator Dixon to
defer the presentation of my creden-
tails.
while | am now legally entitled
without question to perform the func-
lions of national committeeman from
Nebraska / shall attempt TO assume
the duties of that office only when the
duties of Col. Roosevelt's campaign so
Il have been thoroughly in accord |
with the Roosevelt management in
this matter from the beginning"
The Rosewater and Howell contest, |
it was expected, before the committee |
met. would develop the first test of |
between the Taft and Roose- |
welt members, and its postponementl |
was variously construed. Certain Taft |
adherents said the Roosevelt managers |
were unwilling to take the initiative |
in asking for a roll call on any such |
clearly defined issue at this time.
1t was learned, tonight, that the |
Southern representation question |
which has been discussed by the par |
ty leaders, was disposed of by unani |
nous vote of the national committee !
to the convention that |
the present plan of delegate represen
tation be allowed to stand.

ROOsEyELTs PLATFORM.

The mountain has labored and
brought forth a mouse. Theodore
Roosevelt has sent out his prospec-
tus. 1t is entirely too long for close
study, and in the MAN,. is heavy read
ing. After having read one or two
planks, the average reader will be
tempted to turn another page of his
newspaper and glance at the baseball
columns. Roosevelt says:
The two old parties are husks,
with no real soul within either.
The Democratic party lacks COM.
mon sense, and the Republican
party lacks ethical standards.
If this country is to 60 forward
along a path of social and econom-
ic justice, there must be a new
party Of nationwide and nonsec-
tional principles.
In order to assure popular rule
there must be presidential pri-
maries, popular election of sena-
tors, the hort ballot, an efficient
corrupt practices act and quail
fled use of the initiative referen-
dunn and recall.
The American people, and not
the courts, are to determine their
own fundamental policies.
AS had been expected, the latter
paragraphs are intended as beckon-
ing to the socialistic element OF the
country. Roosevelt has Jagged SUI
nerflus on the stage for some time,
and his attempts to secure attention
will, it is believed, prove futile. AS
MIR. Hillies, of the republican ma
tional committee, wisely observes
the battle will be between Wilson ano
Taft. We suggest an amendment
with the prospects decidedly in favor
of the former. The new party head
ed bv the former President is des-
tined to take it's place among the
sideshows- woman suffrage, prom
bition, etc.
