Public Hearing on Contests.

1.-THE campaign for Col Roosevelt has
been made in the open and We insist that
the decision shall also be rendered in the
open. The Roosevelt national committee.
absolutely confident in the fairness and
squareness of its campaign, is proposing
now to the members of the republican
national committee, who are about to as
semble In Chicago to make up the tenn
porary roll of the convention, that all
contests shall be heard and decided in
public. The Roosevelt national committee
asks the republican national committee to
admit the representatives of the press to
all it's sessions. We have appealed to the
country in good faith and we demand
that our opponents shall show similar
good faith at this critical time. We want
the full facts honestly and truthfully laid
before the whole country. We are per-
fectly satisfied to abide by the result If
We cannot convince the country that we
are right We ought not to expect and do
not expect anything from the national
committee. We want the whole country
to know the merits of every contest, to
have access through the press to all the
evidence and to know how and why
every decision is reached.
The proposition for open sessions will
be submitted to the national committee
by friends of Col. Roosevelt 1t is up
to the Taft managers and their friends to
assume the responsibility for secrecy.
L y
in the United States. The ostrich meth
cd in politics has gone.
THE Roosevelt committee does not ex-
pect the Taft managers to meet this chal-
lenge. The Taft managers have sought
by every method that could be devised to
avoid submitting any part Of their cause
to the determination of the republican
voters of the country. Wherever they
could possibly do SO they have prevented
the election of delegates by primaries.
Their reliance has been upon the stran-
gulation methods of the old-school boss.
Machine rule has been their battle cry.
Their sole hope now is that another eX-
hibition of machine tactics will enable
them to unseat enough honestly elected
Roosevelt delegates to give them fraudu-
lent control of the national convention.
With this purpose in view they will OPP
pose with all their power the proposition
to have the contests heard and decided
in the open.
UNLESS the national committee is pre-
pared to ring the death knen of the re-
publican party the Taft tactics will not
prevail"

Plan to Pack Convention Charged


The national Roosevelt committee has
given out the following statement:
THE purpose of the Taft managers to
pack the republican national convention
at Chicago with Taft supporters has al
ready been plainly shown by the refusal
Of the subcommittee on arrangements,
which is composed entirely of Taft men,
to allot single ticket to the convention
to any friend or supporter of Col. RoOse-
welt. The Taft managers propose to fill
the gallery with hired Taft shouters to
create a false appearance of Taft senti-
ment in the convention. The lengths to
which they are willing to go is clearly
shown in a telegram sent by William F.
Stone. sergeant-at-arms of the national
committee, to Roosevelt man who ap-
piled to him for ticket. Mr.. Stone re-
piled to this request as follows:

1.-THE selection Of delegates to the ma
tional convention is practically completed.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt has more than
600 of the 1,O78 delegates composing the
convention and will be nominated on the
first and only ballot by a substantial ma
jority. His vote is likely to run close up
to 100. There remain to be selected only
% delegates, in Ohio, 8 in Arizona
and 10 in South Dakota. Col. Roosevelt
will get every one of them.
But one shred of hope remains to the
Taft managers. It is that they will be
of the republicans of the country and
steal the national convention. They
have been able to steal some district and
state conventions. but they cannot steal
the presidency. The time has come when
