BIG JOB ON LIS HANDS

Never before has there been so fas,
an amount Of work for the committee.
men to do prior to the convention az
this year. The conditions are entirely
unique and that means work.
For the first time in the history OF
the nation. the only living ex-presi
! dent is contending for the nomination
against the second term for the ONLY
president With the power Of presi-
dency to aid Taft and the personal
/ popularity and magnetism and whirl-
wind tactics Of Roosevelt TO aid him.
the contest is being closely and bit :
terly fought The result is a vast
number of contested delegations. the
greatest number the party has ever
known.
Tho national committee will meet
on June TO hear the contests. The
vast number of them will in all likeli-
hood take practically all the time from
June up To the assembling OF the
convention. II is the national COM
mittee which makes up the temporary
ron OF the convention. This plan has
been criticized in the state conven-
ton but AS Committeeman Blodgett
ot Michigan explains. unless some body
such as the national committee had
authority 90 hear contests the con
vention would last weeks and unless
such as the national committee had
authority To settle the temporary roll
nothing at all TO prevent any Chica-
go thug or any other person walking
II, taking a seat and declaring he
was a delegate.
The national committee therefore
meets In advance OF the convention
and hears contests and makes up the
temporary roll. In case. the claims OF
one or the other delegations appears
perfectly clear. that delegation Is seat
ed. II the claims are confusing and
the committee is in doubt as 10 which
delegation has the right TO the seat.
e is customary for the committee 20
seat both delegations allowing half
vote each. each therefore multiplying
the other. This of course leaves IT
up 10 the convention itself TO deter
mine which delegation has right to
sit.
The contests are usually taken up
Ia alphabetical order by the national
committee so that the Michigan con-
test will likely be pretty well down
the line. This is the first time Michi-
gan has sent two delegations TO the
convention and as a result
Of the BAY City fracas the entire state

would increase the pension roll nearly
scyenty-fve million dollars year in
the early years Of IT'S application. The
amended bill Is estimated 20 carry an
increase in the pensions Of twenty-five
million dollars a year for some years.
and Of thirty five million dollars in the
