A last appeal will be made Monday Pardon Day-to Governor George mute the death sentence now hanging over the head of w. r. Nichols, the convicted wife murderer to life i'm iTisonmcnt.

7. R. Orders Bolt If
Ultimatum Is Ignored.

Theodore Roosevelt early tins morn
ing instructed his followers to bolt the
Republican national convention unless
the Taft forces grant his final demand
to forbid the Taft instructed delegates
California. Washington. Texas and Ari-
IONA from voting in the further pro
ceedings of the convention.
When the Taft delegates awoke they
found that active preparations were I'M
der way for a second. convention to be
held at Orchestra hall in Michigan ave-
nue.. Colonel Roosevelt had instruct
ed his men to waste no more time. but
to proceed to business as soon as the
Taft people had rejected his final ulti-
matum.
The threat of the bolt did not affect
the feelings of the Taft men to any
marked degree. They received cheer
ing news through underground
sources from the Roosevelt camp that
there was mutiny in the cooners
camp and that some of his chief lead
ers would refuse to follow him into a
second convention.
The Taft men declared that Senator
Borah. of Idaho. Governor Hadley. Of
Missouri, and the Illinois leaders would
not eountenance a bolt.
The big bolt was forecasted when
twelve Roosevelt members of the ere
dentials committee walked out Of the
meeting of that body last night in pro-
test against gag" rule presented by
James A. Hemenway. of Indiana. These
men We're:

minority report with the convention.

low today's meeting CT the conver-
ton Ten and possibly more of the
states will sign the minority report
EQUALIZATION of representation the
synonym employed by the minority
members of the committee to cut down
the representation of Southern states

changing of the rule. providing for
the manner of selecting delegates are
the points on which the committee
split.
The states whose representatives on
the committee announced their inten-
ton to file a protesting report to ths
convention were Illinois, California,
Ohio. New Jersey, Maryland, Mime
sofa. Missouri and South Dakota
Several more states are expected to
swing in behind them.
John T Hamilton and Marshall Slim
son. members from Iwlinois and Cali
fornia, respectively. were the most
strenuous directors. For six hours
they fought to have the chg nges sug-

The vote on each application was.

different nature and far more conserva-

Hits Men Afraid To
Back Up Convictions.

If the roll is not purged en- masse
Of these fraudulently elected delegates,
the whole action of the convention is
tainted,
The committee on rules has just
against the protest Of the progressive
members, provided for the perpetuation
of the national committee in the form
responsible for the scandslous out
RACES which have at this moment
brought the Republican party to the
breaking point and they have explicit
lv refused to recognize the principle of
popular presidential primaries and
have made the national committee SUI
preme over the people IN the matter
Of primaries
Unfortunately in oar political life
the INSCRIPTIONS man who commits
wrongs such as these can usually count
on having some respectable men sup
porting him and other respectable men
opposing him, but cease their opposl-
ton at the point when 1t would become
really effective.
In this convention. the unscrulu-
lous men who are the leaders have al

mer class of respectable men. and
they count on seeing representatives
of the latter class. who have hitherto
voted against them for fear to take the
decisive step OF sunderng connection
with the fraudulent convention itself.
Such are the facts about the national
convention itself
Il decline any longer to be bound
BY any action it may take I decline
TO regard as binding any nomination
1t may make ! do not regard success
full fraud and deliberate theft as con
stituting title to party regularity or
claim to the support Of any homes
man Of any party.
u hope that the honestly elected ma
jority will at once insist upon imme-
date purging Of the roll IN it's entire
" and not piece meal by the conven-
ton
IF this purge Is not accomplished
| hope the honestly elected delegates
will decline all further connection with
a convention whose action is now de
termined and has hitherto been de-
termined. by majority which is made
a majority only BY the action of the
fraudulent delegates whom the con
vention has refused to strike from the
rolls. II the leaders of the honestly
elected majority disagree with me in
this matter and wish for any cause to
defer for the moment this action. then
