The Thirteenth Indiana.

In the thirteenth Indiana district the
convention which assembled to elect two
delegates to Chicago contained a clear
and uncontested majority of Roosevelt
men. But the chairman. Taft man. re-
fused a roll call and declared the Taft
delegates elected on viva voce vote,
whereupon the majority of the convention
elected two Roosevelt delegates.
"Affidavits of all the members of the
majority were laid before the committee,
showing that clear majority Of men,
bers of the convention, by their own
sworn statements, had voted for Roose-
Welt. and three other aff1davits OF MEM
bers were submitted showing that these
three men had voted neither for Roose-
Welt nor Taft; so that the proof was alb
solute that it's Taft delegates had OBJ
tanned only a minority OF the conven-
ton. Yet the national committee seated
the two men the fraudulency of whose
claims had been thus shown.

Declares Taft Repudiated.

COL Roosevelts statement says. in part:
The question at Chicago becomes clear
e. with every vote of the national com
mittee 1t is simply whether the people
have the right TO nominate whomever
they wish for the highest office In Their
Gift. or whether, by deliberate theft and
fraud. certain machine leaders, acting In
the interest of special privilege are TO be
permitted to deprive the people of TINS
right BY an overwhelming majority
where they have had the opportunity TO
express their wishes at the primaries the
plain people. the rank and file of the re-
publican party. have repudiated Mr.. tart
Now we are face to face with the ques-
ton whether the people rule the repubh-
can party or whether the party Is to be
ruled by the discredited bosses, whom the
people have themselves repudiated.
How do these bosses hope to nomi-
nate Mr. Taft? What they did in the
thirteenth Indiana district yesterday sup
plies the answer l have said-and the
acts Of my supporters have made good my
words-that l do not wish one delegate
seated for me if there is a reasonable
doubt in his case. The members of the
national committee who are my support
ers have leaned backward In every case
where there was so much as color OF
claim that the question was even in
doubt They have divided only where the
case was SO clear that no honest man
could doubt.

OYSTER BAY. y. Y, June 12--With
an attack on his opponents in the repub-
lican national committee and on Pres
dent Taft, Col. Roosevelt last night again
protested against the course of affairs
at Chicago. In statement issued at
Sycamore Hill. he said Mr.. Taft assumed
that the presidency is 10 be treated as
4 gift within the bestowal of the poliu-
ans. in defiance OF the duly expressed
wish of the people.
such conduct Col. Roosevelt said.
comes dangerously near being treason to
tho whole spirit OF our institutions. to
the whole spirit of democratic govern
ment.''
The former President laid especial
stress on the action of the committee In
seating the Taft delegates from the thir-
tcenth district Of Indiana. notwithstand-
ing the fact, he said. that the Roosevelt
men were clearly In the majority In the
convention which was called to elect these
two delegates.

Calls Conduct "Astounding.'

Unfortunately there is no law to touch
the astounding misconduct of which the
national committee has been guilty and
which 1t has sanctioned in the cases
which have come before ii. Ii the contest
was one for the nomination of an alder
man in New York city, and obscure men
in the democratic and republican parties
who were active as election off1cfais In
a given district were guilty of such con-
duct, and their guilt was proved, they
would be sent to the penitentiary. But
the great and powerful politicians, the
representatives of bossism in politics and
special privilege in business. who are now
perpetrating the same kind of wrong on
an infinitely larger scale. are immune, be-
cause as yet, unfortunately. the law does
not touch nominating conventions.
Dangerously Near Treason"
Nevertheless, the wrong they commit
against the people is far greater than the
wrong done the people by the little poll
,icians such as those l have spoken of.
for these men are engaged in thwarting
the right of the people to express their
will as to who shall hold the highest Of
ice in the gift of the people, the Presi-
dency of the United States. Mr.. Taft
assumes and Messrs. Barnes. Penrose,
Mulvane and company assume. that the
presidency Is TO be treated as gift
within the bestowai of the politicians, in
defiance of the duly expressed wish OF the
people. Such conduct comes dangerously
near being treason to the whole spirit OF
our institutions, to the whole spirit OF
democratic free government.
Il do not believe that the people will
tolerate such conduct, nor do l believe
sober republicans will consent to see the
republican party sacrificed to please the
bosses whom the party has repudiated.
II the national committee con-
tinues as IL has begun. i believe its ac-
lions will be repudiated by the conven-
ton"

two children at IS Fern street. For some
days he had suffered from violent tooth
ache. and yesterday morning he went 10
the London Hospital to ask that two teeth
might be drawn. He was too late, how
ever. and on being given a card with
which to attend this morning he return Ell
home.
He declined dinner. saying his teeth
were too bad for him TO eat. and sat N
the kitchen while his wife returned 70 he"

Mrs. Ager missed him. She sent her boy
upstairs to see IL his father had gone to

then went herself. and was mortified TO
discover her husband lying at the foot
OF the bed with his throat cut. evidently

together they made the further terrible
