They Are Now Planning to
Make a Contest on the
Two Roosevelt Delegates
I From the Sixth Dist.
CAUSE OF CONTEST
OBSCURED BY HAZE
w. A. Bond, Leader of the
Roosevelt Forces from
This County at Convention
Gives His Opinion.

Will the Roosevelt delegates from
the Sixth District be thrown out?
George Stout, political writer for
the Indianapolis Star, says this morn
ing:
Contests have been filed by Indiana
Taft forces against the two Roosevelt
delegates in the Sixth District. Enos
Porter of Shelbyville and T. c. Bryson
of Connersville, the Roosevelt dele
gates, yesterday received notice from
the Republican national committee in
forming them of the fact that contests
had been filed in their cases.
''Mr. Porter and Mr.. Bryson fmmedi-
ately wrote to the national organiza-
ton asking for copies of the briefs
filed by the Taft forces.
Charles H. Campbell. Roosevelt ma
tional committeeman for Indiana, was
in conference with Mr.. Porter in Indi-
annapolis yesterday, and later wired
Senator Dixon. Roosevelt national
chairman, as to the latest Taft move

A FIGHT EXPECTED.
Until the Taft brief in the Sixth
District has been received h will not
be known what grounds are being TAX
en- in the effort to unseat the Sixth
District Roosevelt men. Roosevelt wor-
kers in indianapolis, commenting on
the contest brought in the Sixth, sug-
gest that the action in the cases OF
Porter and Bryson may indicate a gen,
|eral policy OF 6ontesting Roosevelt del
egates in many places.
"The Roosevelt managers have de-
clared that contested delegates should
not be permitted to vote in Chicago as
to their own eligibility to sit in that
convention. When the Roosevelt men
took this stand, there were nearly zoe

tests against Roosevelt delegates. Re
cent Taft contests in Texas and else
where, and the move in Indiana are
being pointed out as indicating that

may now be under way on the Taft
side.
"It was not known last night wheth

Roosevelt delegates are to be filed
| The Sixth District was controlled by
the Roosevelt men by a close vote
Other Roosevelt districts were not re

De PALMA LEADING IN
GREAT 500 MILE RACE
SRREWD MOVE IN
POLITICAL GAME
Has Been Made by Roosevelt
Managers Against Ma
tional Committee.
National New. Association,

CHICAGO, May 30.-when R B.
Howell, elected national Republican
committeeman from Nebraska. arrives
in Chicago today and claims his right
to his place Immediately. one of the
most adroit moves. politicians say. ev-
er seen in a national campaign will
have been started. Should Howell be
seated, a Roosevelt supporter will take
the place of Victor Rosewater, acting
chairman of the national committee.
That would give the Roosevelt men an
unexpected advantage in preparing the
temporary organization of the national
convention. If he is not seated at once
the Roosevelt men will have grounds
for claim of manipulation of the ma
tional committee against them in case
they wished to urge the claim.
Howells claim is based on the fact
that he was legally elected under the
laws of Nebraska and is therefore the
committeeman. His contest is the first
of four or five that will be made by
the Roosevelt faction. The next case,
it is expected, will come from Missouri
where Thomas X. Neidringhaus. a
Roosevelt man, has been elected over
secretary of Commerce and Labor
Charles Nagel.
The announcement of this plan
brought forth a peppery statement
from Chairman New OF the subcommit
tee in charge of the convention.
The members of the committee are
elected to serve four. years." he said
Their terms begin at the adjournment
of the convention. If any other man
than Taft should be elected President
in November he might with just as
much propriety go to the White House
at once and demand the place because
he wanted the job so badly he couldn'i
wait"
