only for the precise number of dele
gates to which each state is entitled.
Guards will be stationed at every en-
trance to the delegates space to pre-
vent every one who isn't an accredit-
ed delegate from entering. That
means no delegates except those
placed upon the roll by the national
committee, which ended its labors
Saturday night, shall enter, and con-
testing delegates who lost in the
struggle shall be excluded as though
they were strangers.
Colonel Roosevelt's managers will
not stand for this. They have already
insisted that the Roosevelt delegates
who have been turned down shall be
admitted and that they shall have equal
rights, so far as possession of the floor
is concerned, with the Taft contest
ants who won.
Up to the present time this demand
has been denied by the committee, and
unless it's mind changes, rushing tao
tics will be entered upon, and no one
can foretell to what degree of violence
they will be carried.
If the Roosevelt contention is ad-
mitted, there Will be two conventions
on the floor at the same time, except
that until the formal vote shall decide
who is to be temporary presiding Off
Ger of the convention there will be but
one-Mr. Rosewater. acting chairman
of the national committee-presidin
officer. in the chair.
If the question of admission to the
delegates space shall be finally set
tied so as to prevent trouble before
the convention is called to order, then
arises the old question: At what point
will the trouble begin?
Then Clash Begins.

avoided the rocks and quicksands un-

retary shall have called California"

In Winter Days.

When autumn breezes rattle at the
easement.
And whistle through the pine
trees at the door;
When squirrels store up nuts with
out abatement,
And corn-stalks pile up on the old
barn floor.
When robbins in large focks begin
to chatter
About the journey southwark, near at
hand.
And crickets shrilly ehirp about the
OF winter days when they will all
disband;-
We dream of joys beside the fireside
waiting
The book, the game, the quiet social
hour
When we again may think of spring
birds mating,
OF sleeping bud unfolding into
flower.
Winter would have no terror to
appal us
Did we but mate our action and
desire
Unto the duties that forever call us,
And bid us cen though storm
bound to acquire
The faith hat holds the bird poised
in mid-ocean
Above ! storm-tossed sea, is
wings outspread.
Conscious that through life's turmoil
and connection
We shall be safely and securely
led.
