CALIFORNIA.
Fourth District.


The Fourth California presented this
question: Under the state law the dele
CATION. two from each district, was
elected on a general ticket, in group
of twenty six Each delegate might
either express his presidential prefer
ence or agree to vote for the presiden
tiai candidate receiving the highest
number in the state. In the Fourth
district the two candidates from that
district on the Taft ticket expressed
a preference for Taft. bnt did not
agree to vote for the candidates hav.
ing the highest state vote. These Taft
delegates In the Fourth district re
ceived majority of 200 more than
the Roosevelt delegates In that dis
trict The national call forbade any
law or the acceptance Of any law
which prevented the election Of dele
ga tes by districts. In other words. the
call Of the national convention was al
variance with the state law The state
law sought to enforce the state unit
rule and required the whole twenty
six delegates to be voted for all over
the state, assigning two to each dis
trict on the ticket to abide the state
wide election, while the Republican
national convention has insisted upon
the unit OF the district since 1880 That
has been the party law This cOnven.
tfOn recognized the party law and held
II to be more binding than that OF the
state law and allowed the two dele
gates who bad received In the Fourth
district a vote larger than their two
opponents assigned to that district. TO
become delegates In the convention.
This was clearly lawful. for a state has
40 power to limit or control the basis
Of representation OF voluntary ma
tional party In a national convention
The fact that President Taft by tele
gram approved all the twenty six dele
gates as representing him is said to be
an estoppel against his claiming the
election Of two Of those delegates in
their Fourth district What is there
inconsistent In his approving the can
didacy OF all his delegates and the
election of two of them? Why should
be he thus estopped to claim that part
Of the law was imperative because in

INDIANA.
Thirteenth District.
IN the Thirteenth Indiana there was
no question about the victory OF the
Taft men. because the temporary chair
man representing the Taft side was
conceded to have been elected by one
half a vote more than the Roosevelt
candidate This One-half vote extended
through the rlotOus proceedings. and
although 1t was not as wide as a barn
door it was enough. The chairman put
the question as TO electing the Taft
delegates. and after continuous objec-
ton lasting three hours declared the

In the Fifth Arkansas the question

ALABAMA.
Ninth piatrieA

The Ninth Alabama contest turned
on the question whether the chairman
Of a district committee had power to
ill vacancies, whether a committee
man who had sent his resignation to
take effect only In case he was not
present, being present, should be pre-
vented from acting as committeeman.
and, third. on the identity Of another
committeeman. The written resolu-
ton under which the right Of the
chairman to appoint to vacancies was
claimed showed on its face that the
specific authority was written in in
different writing and different colored
pencil between the lines. A number OF
affldavits we're fled by committeeman
who were present when the resolution
was passed to show that the resolu-
ton contained no such authority. This
gave rise to a question Of fact upon
which a very large majority Of both
the national committee and the COM
mittee on credentials held that the
lead pencil insertion was forgery.
that the chairman did not have the au-
thority therefore to appoint to the
vacancies, and therefore the action OF
his committee was not valid. This

other issues of fact before them In
favor of the Taft contention, although
the 6rst decision was conclusive.

In the Second Texas district there

attempting TO add l3l precinct men to
the old committee was, of course, be-
yond his power The resolution au-
tborizing him to fill vacancies, Of
course, applied only to those places
which became vacant after they had
been filled and clearly did not apply to
131 new precincts. 1t could not in the
nature of things apply to a change
from the old system to complete new
system of precincts created by the city
council. because II they were to be

precincts different from the old must
be filed. One system could not be
made into the other by mere addi-
