The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1912-07-08

William Draper Lewis of the Univer.
sity of. Pennsylvania law school, who
was to make one OF the seconding
speeches, delivered the address which
he had prepared for the Republican
convention.
Although no public announcement
was made until late in the day of the
meeting which was expected to result
in the formation of a new party, word
of the plan was flashed about the city,
and before the doors were opened a
crowd had collected, extending for
nearly block on Michigan avenue.
Police reserves were summoned to
handle the crowds.
3 Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. Mich
olas Longworth, Miss Ethel, Kermit
and Archie Roosevelt arrived early
and occupied a box near the stage.
Colonel Roosevelt mounted the plat.
form and waved his hands, smiling
with delight at the reception. When
he said he would accept the nomina-
ton there was another frenzied dem.
onstration.
Governor Johnson" said Mr.
Roosevelt, you, and you, the honestly
elected delegates, and you my friends.

in prolonged outburst for their can
didate.
The nominating of candidates fol
lowed the adoption Of the platform re-
ported to the convention by the plat
form committee. This platform favors
a protective tariff, but says that there
should be some reductions, declares
that the recall Of judges is unneces.
sary, favors treaties with Russia and
other countries to protect American
citizens abroad, promises an inquiry
into the high cost of living, and urges
laws to increase the safety of ocean
travel.
The reading of the Roosevelt state
ment, asking his friends to take no
part in the proceedings, was the one
dramatic incident of the day. A dem.
onstration occurred which lasted at
least twenty minutes.
Utah's eight votes were cast for
President Taft. Arizona Colorado.
Wyoming, Montana and Nevada dele.
gates were also a unit for the presi-
dent, while seven of Idaho delegates
voted for Cummins and one for Taft
Washington cast fourteen votes for
the president, Oregon eight for Roose
welt and two refused to vote. Two of
CalifOrnia's delegates voted for Taft
while twenty-four refused to vote.
President Taft received SCI of the
1,O7S votes in. the convention or TWEEN.
ty-one more than a majority. Sher-
mans vote was 597.
The decision of the Roosevelt PEG.
pie under direction, of their leader.
to refrain from voting, left no other
candidate near the president. The
announcement of the Taft victory
was greeted with cheering from his
adherents and groans and Kisses from
the opposition.
All others dropped from the race
and Mr. Sherman was the only candi
date for vice-president regularly
placed before the convention. A mo-
ton from New Hampshire to make the
nomination by reclamation was de-
clared out of order. There were many
scattering votes on the rollcall that
ensued
The revolt of the many Roosevelt
delegates in the convention was open
from the moment the permanent roll
containing the names of contested
delegates was approved. A "valedic-
tory statement was read in behalf
Of Colonel Roosevelt asking that his
name be not presented and that his
delegates sit in mute protest against
all further proceedings.
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates in the Illinois and all in the
Missouri and Idaho delegations de-
clined to follow this advice, but Col
onel Roosevelt's' sway over delega-
tons from California Kansas, Maine,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West
Virginia was all but absolute.
Most of the delegates from these
states announced their purpose Of

pieces of the Court Amhert lodge l. o.
o. F. of Black Rock and was for the
benefit of sick brothers.

Chicago.-After making preliminary
arrangements for the organization of
new party, Colonel Roosevelt on
Saturday definitely severed his rela-
tons with the Republican national
forth his position in this regard, he
said that since the convention had
declined to remove the delegates who.
he contends, are fraudulent, he could
not recognize it's authority. He urged
his delegates to refrain from voting
in the convention, but stated that in
case they did vote he would not free
them from the obligation to cast their
ballots for him.

FOCEL QUITS
ON EVE Of
TRIAL

(By United Press Leased Wire. J
NEW YORK, Nov. 81. = The
announcement of the resignation
of Horace Fogel as president of
the Philadelphia National league
baseball club was made yester-
day at meeting of league
magnates here.
FogePs resignation was an
nounced just as he was about to
go to trial before National league
officials to explain charges that
the leagues staff of umpires had
favored the New York club all
last season and that for this rea-
son the Giants were enabled TO
win the pennant.
Resuming his testimony at the
National league inquiry into the
charges of Fogel, w. s. Forman,
sporting editor of the Chicago
Evening Post, took the stand
again here today.
Forman contended yesterday
that Charles w. Murphy, presi-
dent of the Chicago Cubs, used
Fogel merely as a goat" MUIR
>phy is quoted as saying:
This Is a lot of rubbish. I
hardly know Forman, but l can
guess that his paper is sore be-
cause I released Chance"

Willamette Nav
Not Play UPS.

Willamette university seems to
have decided not to play the U.
P. 8. team here tomorrow as has
been expected all along by the
local team.
When the agreement was made
for game last year with the
Oregon eleven it also called for a
game for this year, to be played
in Salem If dated for Thanksgiv,
ing and in Tacoma if at any 9TH
er time.
Manager Frank Riley of the To-
cal eleven yesterday sent a tele-
gram to the Willamette team and
learned that they were going to
play the U. of Montana on Thurs
day and had arranged for no 9TH
er game.
