hall"
They got as far as the street when they
were overtaken by several of their num-
Der. who told them they had acted too
hastily. 1t was then decided to return to
the committee room to make a fight there.

The action was premature. however, ac-
cording to Roosevelt generals who came
to the scene at top speed. Instead OF
waiting for action on the resolutions, the
Roosevelt men left before any rules had
been adopted.
The Objectionable Rules.
The rules which brought on the fight
were presented by James A. Hemenway
OF Indiana. They provided:
That no contest cases should be con-
sidered except those appealed from the
decisions of the national committee. That
none should be taken up where the de-
cision of the national committee had been
unanimous.
That cases should be consolidated,
where such action had been taken at the
previous hearing.
That the contestants who were not seat
ed CASUALLY the Roosevelt mem should
open the arguments.
That ten minutes be allowed for state
cases and five for district cases, for coun-
sci on each side.
That no evidence be considered that
was not considered at the previous hear
The last two PROVISIONS brought on the
fight, Hugh T. Halbert Of Minnesota and
other Roosevelt men claiming the COM
mittee should open all evidence in all
cases.
After the return of the Roosevelt mem

trict cases fifteen minutes
After the second bolt of the Roosevelt
members of the credentials committee
Roosevelt delegates poured into the Flor

when he announced the action he and
his fellow members had taken.
The delegates split into factions, some
urging that the committeeman should go
back, participate In the deliberations, and
submit a minority report to the conven-
ton. Others clamored that the boilers
stand fast. Al times the meeting was in
an uproar.

Refuse to Recognize Majority.

Il hope you will refuse ANY longersto

will not permit our opponents. having
failed by fair means. TO beat you hE foul
means and swindie the people outJof the
victory that they have won.
Lets find out whether the republican
party is still the party of the plain peo-
pie, the people of the United States, or
the party OF the bosses and the profess
sional politicians acting In the Interests
OF special privilege

that YOU place no further trust. L would
advise that you waste no further time; l
would advise that you do not permit your

Gov. Deneen's Proposition.

Gov. Deneen today introduced a very
moderate resolution in dealing with the
four fragrant steals Ii asked that the
delegates from California. Washington.
Texas. and Arizona should not be per-
mitted To vote. and that the three states
stolen bodily Washington, Arizona and
Texas-should not put their representa-
tives on the credentials committee. That
motion was voted down by substantial lily
the same vote that elected Root over
MeCiovern. In each case the majority
was a majority only because the votes
OF the fraudulently seated delegates Were
counted
MIR. Root received seventy or eighty
stolen votes continued Mr. Roosevelt
Mr.. Deneens resolution was beaten to-
day by fraudulent votes. which in tina,
resolution were named-by the votes OF
Texas Arizona. Washington and the two
fraudulent votes from California. II
those votes had been changed the 'reso-
luton would have been carried
ITO add insult to injury. the commit
tee on credentials organized by ,choosing
as chairman Mr.. Devine, the national
committeeman who had taken part in
the very theft on which he had passed
as a member of the national committee.

you go back to the convention ball. you
will at once introduce a resolution that
not one OF those fraudulently seated dele
