COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June Z.
First blood In the fight over
contested delegations which open
ed here today before the republic
can national committee was won
by President Taft, the committee,
by an overwhelming vote seating
the Taft delegates at large from
Alabama, the first of numerous
contests to be decided.
The demand voiced for record
vote on the question by Senator
Borah of Idaho and other Roose-
Welt men was promptly granted
by the Taft majority in the Ala
bama- case. Then came surprise,
many of the Roosevelt men vot-
ing to throw out the contest
brought by their own followers.
The vote stood 53 ayes to no noes.
CHICAGO, June 7.-When the
republican national committee
started hearing cases of contest
ed delegations to the national
convention here at 10 o'clock this
morning, Roosevelt managers had
abandoned hope OF seating any of
their delegates except those from
Washington. Convinced, appar-
emily that the Old Guard republic
cans have the steam roller in
working order and that a ma
jority of the national committee
is for Taft, the Roosevelt men to-
day prepared to break the ranks
of the Taft people by bringing
"home influences" to bear on
them.
The committee started its work
today with Victor Rosewater OF
Nebraska acting as chairman.
The first contest to come up was
that from Alabama.
Gen. Charles Dick, assisted by
numerous lawyers, spoke for
President Taft. Ormsby McHarg
represented Colonel Roosevelt.
McHarg charged that the negro
vote lin Alabama was kept from
the polls by threats of violence,
insisting that the Taft people in
this way secured control Of the
district and state conventions.
The Taft people argued that the
Z committee could not go back on
the returns.
Taft has 80 of its members,
while Roosevelt's voting strength
is but IA.
When the committee opened Its
hearings this. morning, Senator
Borah of Idaho moved that the
national committee amend the
rules so that ten members could
force record vote on contests
This motion was tabled. Borah
then scathingly denounced the
committee and a bitter debate roi-
lowed.
After demanding that the com.
mitteemen go on record in every
case. Senator Borah began a Wit.
rolic speech. While he was still
speaking someone moved to table
his amendment and when Chair.
man Rosewater put the motion
over porah's protest, 1t was de-
clared carried.
Fourteen times Borah shouted
"Mr. Chairman" but each time
he was ignored by Rosewater.
