Chicago.-When Temporary Chair
man Root called The republican ma
tional convention to order at II
o'clock this morning for it's second
session, to secure the announcement
of the standing committees, the situ-
alton was slightly more favorable
to Taft than t was last night. Still,
it requires 30 votes to nominate.
and, while 25S delegates voted for
Root for chairman, the Taft leaders
privately admit that Taft cannot get
the full Root vote. Eight Maryland
delegates who voted for Root are
under Roosevelt instructions, also
seven Illinois delegates and four or
five scattered delegates who voted
for Root will never vote for Taft.
All OF this means that the chances
of dark horse are brighter and the
chances OF a split in the convention
more remote. The pie counter ele-
ment may unite on Cummins or some
other third man.
The Taft men are dependent upon
the party leaders in the different
states and the candidates for state
and county Offices to prevent the
Roosevelt leaders from boiling and
to induce them to take their medi-
cine, because d party split would
mean defeat at home for many Of
them.
Roosevelt Continues Fight.
Until early this morning Roosevelt
consulted with his ~lieutenants and
issued orders TO renew the fight to-
day to purge the stolen ROLL
Stick to your leaders" said Roose-
Welt. Support Hadley, Johnson and
Record. They will lead the fight to
purge the roll. That fight must be
made regardless of anything else. Ii
Is not a question of my nomination.
If | could be nominated by the use
OF that roll, l should not accept it..
The roll is fraudulent. Mr.. Roots
position as temporary chairman was
obtained by the use of 60 votes which
are on that roll by fraud. Anything
done by the use of these sixty votes
is tainted with fraud and is not
binding. Any convention controlled
by the use of these sixty votes is
Irregular and not binding on any
body
I'VE hold" said Gov. Hadley.
that we are at the present moment
u regular and legal majority of the
regular convention"

The convention was called 10 or

Chairman Root, after the aisles had
been cleared by the police.
