The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-06-19

Chicago, H., June 19,-The sec
end day of the fifteenth republican
convention opened today with ten
hours stubborn fighting ahead and
the outcome apparently no nearer
than yesterday. -
Four major possibilities doomed
large today:
The nomination of Roosevelt.
The nomination of Taft.
The nomination of a third candi-
date.
A split convention.
1t was rumored frequently that
Roosevelt had urged his managers
to take steps today to force the
matter of the revocation of the COM
mittee and it's action to an issue.
Shrewd politicians, experienced in
national conventions, said two things
could be depended upon today. First
that no contest would be decided, as
Hadley declared, until the contest
matter is returned from the creden-
tials committee; second that there
would be no compromise candidate
until the Taft and Roosevelt forces

| have tested their strength furtnei
on roll calls.
Hadley arranged with Watson, the
Taft floor leader, for an hour and
one-half debate on the question of
eXpurgating the roll call. This, with
the time necessary with the roll call,
would take that one phase of the
bitter fight into the late afternoon.
Up to the moment the convention
was called to order today, the Taft

ference re- at McKinley's head
quarters, wkG Mckinley and his
aides argued an 'eaded with them
to remain firm. ! inley express
ed confidence that the Taft vote
today would be fully as strong as
yesterdays.
There was a noticeable lack of
excitement as the convention hour
apl reached tC0a!. The seats were
filled slowly.
Temporary Chi man Root arrived
at 1924 and was greeted by ap-
plause He called the convention to
order at 1l;15.
The question of Roosevelts prob
able procedure was widely discussed
among the delegates. His leaders
said he was the absolute boss OF
his own fight. Although he may
visit the convention as spectator,
the Taft leaders said there was only
one way he could get on the floor
and that would be by resolution OF
the convention, of which there was
not the ghost of a show" Roose-
velts lieutenants, including Hadley,
served notice that they would not
sanction a bolt under any circum-
stances. This they announced to
several newspaper men.
After prayer by Rabbi Joseph Stolz
D. D., Isiah Temple, Root announc-
ed tnat an agreement had been
reached between Watson and Had
lev that three hours debate, equally
divided, be admitted. Hadley opened
the debate, arguing to unseat the
contested Taft delegates. |
He presented the statement of ma
ional committeeman that they should |
not be seated 1t seemed likely that |
the debate and vote on this Ques !
ton would last all the afternoon.
Hadley made an earnest plea that !
personalities be left out of the fight .
which is clearly one of principle" n |
closing, he declared that when the !
vote on the sub-roll came, he woulG
contend that on the question sub
mitted, only the votes Of uncontested
delegates be allowed.
Taft delegate Dovell of Washing
ION, following Hadley, declared that

been stolen" from Roosevelt was

by the statement of whe-
her he intended to support the con-
,ention nominee. II will on condi-
ion that his nomination is not ac-

An uproar of cheers and angry
shouts followed AlleI~s retort.

REBELLION ENDED
MENA CAPTURED
Nlcaraguan Rebel Leader to Be
Sent to Panama.
U. s. FORCES STILL CONTROL.
Not Likely That General zeledon
VIII Continue To Hold Out,
Now That Mena Has
Surrendered.

Washington-General Mena, leader
OF the Nicaraguan revOlutiOnists, is to
be sent to Panama, under guard OF
American sailors and marines. Ameri-
can Consul Weitzel reported to the
State Department that Rear Admiral
Southerland has accepted the surren-
der of Mena and 700 followers at mid
night, September a. His capture is
taken to indicate the collapse Of the
revolution, and his removal to Pan
anna probably means exile.
Officials here believed General Mena
requested that he be permitted to sur
render to Admiral Switzerland, for
fear of summary action at the hands
ltof the Nicaraguan federals, and the
Admiral doubtless thought it advis-
able to get the rebel leader out of the
country as soon as possible.
Granada is now completely under
control Of United States forces. Con-
ditions are reported pitifu1 in the ex-
treme. The inhabitants face famine
IN consequence Of their long isolation.
Red Cross provisions have been dis
tributed with the greatest haste.
It is not thought that General Zele-
don and his forces viii attempt to
hold out, now that the head of the
revolution has given up. Little inn
portance is attached here to the an
nouncement by Juan Irias, former fol-
lower of Zelaya, of his intention to
succeed General Mena. Irias made
known his ambition before leaving
San Jose, Costa Rica, several days
ago. Nothing since has been heard
of his whereabouts.
The disposition of Mena and his
force will depend upon the terms
made by him with Admiral Souther-
land. BY his disregard of all OF the
rules Of civilized warfare, and especi-
ally his deliberate breach OF promise
to American Minister Weitzel at an
early stage Of the rebellion here has
placed himself outside the pale Of the
law. and officials declare that it would
be entirely proper and within pre-
eedent to turn Mena over to the Mica
raEuan government.
But If Admiral Switzerland has &C
cepted the surrender with pledge for
protection. that promise will be re-
spected by the State Department, even
II its redemption involves the trans
portatiOn Of the rebels to Panama.
