CONTESTED DELEGATES AT
LARGE.
Arizona.

Arizona.
In the Arizona convention there were
ninety-three votes. All the delegates
six in number-were to be selected at
large. The counties were entitled to Sc
lect their delegates through their coun-
ty committee or by primary. In one
county, Maricopa, a majority of the
committee decided to select its dele
gates and n minority to have a pri-
mary. In other counties there were
some contests, and the sttae commit
tee, following the usage of the national
committee, gave a hearing to all CON
testants in order to make up the tenn
porary roll. There was a clear ma jor-
ity of the Taft delegates among the
uncontested delegates. The committee
made up the temporary roll and then
there was a bolt, sixty -four remaining
in the hall and twenty-five withdraw
ing therefrOm. The case of the Taft
majority was so clear that It is difficult
to understand why a contest was made
Indiana.
In Indiana the four Taft delegates at
large were elected in a state conven-
ton to which Marion county. in which
indianapolis IL situate was entitled to
12S votes. A primary was held in In
dianapolis, at which Taft polled 5000
and Roosevelt 1,400 votes. This gave
Taft 106 delegates in the state conven-
ton from Marion county, and if they
were properly seated the control of the
convention by a large majority was
conceded to Taft. Attempt was made
to impeach the returns from Marion
county by charges of fraud and repeat
ing. These charges were of n general
character, without specification except
as to one ward out of fifteen wards
and then the impeaching witness ad-
mitted he could not claim fraud enough
to change the result In that ward. The
national committee, upon which there
were fifteen anti-Taft' men, rejected
the Roosevelt contestants and gave the
Taft delegates their seats by a unani-
nous vote. Senator Borah' and Mr.
Frank B. Kellogg, both Roosevelt men,
made speeches in explaining the votes
IN which they said that the case turned
wholly on the Marion county primary.
and as there was no evidence to i'm
peach the result certified, the title Of
the Taft delegates was clear This is
the convention whose proceedings
rallied forth such loud charges of theft
and fraud from Mr. Roosevelt.
kentucky.
In Kentucky a contest was filed
against only three Of the four delegates
at large. The fourth Taft delegates
seat was uncontested. The three con
testants admitted they were not elect
ed by the convention which sent the
Taft delegates or by any other. They
only contended that II the Roosevelt
forces had had a majority they would
have been elected. There were 2,356
delegates summoned to the convention
by its call. There were 449 OF these
whose seats We're contested. If all OF
these had been conceded to Roosevelt
IL would have made the Roosevelt vote
297 votes less than a majority. The
appeal to the committee on credentials
from the decision OF the national com
mittee was abandoned, as 1t ought tC
have been.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
THOSE DELEGATES,
Roosevelt Contests At Chicago Were InstI-
gated TO Deceive the Puhlic--AII But IA
Were Finally Abandoned by Leaders

Washington, July 29.-Here are the
facts in relation to the contested seats
I'm the Republican national convention.
Ii is summary of u detailed state
ment going carefully into all of the
cases, statement SO thorough that 1t
takes up 100 pages of printed matter.
This statement is signed by Mr.. Victor
Rosewater, chairman Of the former Re
publican national committee; by Mr.. ].
Ii. Devine of Colorado chairman of the
committee on credentials of the Repub-
lican national convention. and by Mr..
Charles u. Hilles, chairman of the
present Republican national committee.
The total number of delegates sum-
moned to the convention under its call
was LOIS, with $40 necessary to a
choice. Mr.. Taft had 561 votes on the
first and only ballot and was declared
the nominee. There were instituted
against 23S of the delegates regularly
elected for Taft contests on behalf of
Roosevelt. These contests were avow-
edly instigated not for the purpose of
really securing seats in the convention,
not for the purpose of adducing evi-
dence which would lead any respect
able court to entertain the contests. but
for the purpose of deceiving the public
into the belief that Mr.. Roosevelt had
more votes than he really had. as the
conventions and primaries were in
progress for the selection of delegates
This is not only a necessary inference
from the character of the contests. but
1t was boldly avowed by the chief edi-
tor of the newspapers owned by Mr.
Munsey, who has been Mr.. Roosevelt's
chief financial and newspaper sup
porter. The 23S contests were reduced
by abandonment to seventy-four.
The very fact Of these 164 frivolous
contests itself reflects upon the genu-
ineness and validity of the remainder.
The seventy-four delegates include six
at large from Arizona, four at large
from Kentucky, four at large from In
diana, six at large from Michigan.
eight at large from Texas and eight at
large from Washington, and also two
district delegates each from the Ninth
Alabama, the Fifth Arkansas. the
Thirteenth Indiana, the Seventh,
Eighth and Eleventh Kentucky, the
Third Oklahoma, the Second Tennes-
see and from each of nine districts, the
First. Second, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh.
Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Fourteenth
of Texas.
