The total money received by the
treasurer during the year was sl.00e,
600, of which, however. a part came
in as payment on buildings, which
the president said might leave Vale
poorer than ever in income
Secretary of the Treasury MaeVeagh,
speaking at the alumni dinner. said that
he had expected to bring a message
from President Taft to the alumni, but
when he went to the White House he
found that Mr.. Taft had gone out to
play golf in the pouring rain. Referring
to the Presidents veto of the army bill,
Mr.. MacVeagh said he had displayed
high moral courage and added that If
the President excelled in practical politics

and of gratitude the name of our first
great leader, who was nominated in this
city and whose lofty principles and SUI
perb devotion to his country are an in
spiration to the party he honored-the
peoples prophet, the savior of the re-
publican, Abraham Lincoln In the pres

inspired by his broad craftsmanship and
by his tolerant spirit towards men.
THE Republican party looks back upon
its record with pride and satisfaction,
aud forward to its new responsibilities
with hope and confidence. Its achieve

luminous pages in our country's history.
Our greatest national advance has been
made during the years of its ascendency
in public affairs. 1t has been genuinely

to the accomplishments of another, al

A TAFT VICTORY.
The Presidents Forces Garry Every
Point in the Convention.

Chicago, June 19.-The Roosevelt
forces met their second defeat in the
Republican National convention, today,
in a session which had for its astound =
ing feature remarkable demonstra-
ton of nearly an hours duration in
honor of Gov. Herber s. Hadley of
Missouri.
All of the Roosevelt delegates joined
in this demonstration. while some OF
the Taft states lent a voice. The ova
ton to the Missouri executive was
quickly interpreted by many of the
delegates as the possible forerunner of
a boom for Hadley for President One
enthusiastic Pennsylvania jumped to
the stage and called:
Three cheers for Hadley, the next
President of the United States!"
Governor Hadley led the fight on
the convention floor, today. to Dust 90
contested Taft delegates and to seat
% Roosevelt men in their places. The
convention finally refused to entertain
the motion by vote of 564 to $40.
This transferred the fight to the
committee ON credentials, appointed
just before the convention adjourned
until noon, tomorrow

Independent Action
By Roosevelt Men.

Chicago, June 19.-The long expect
ed crash In the Republican ranks came
tonight The Roosevelt forces. acting,

OF the colonel himself began to lay
their plans for independent action in
the National Republican convention,

action expected in the convention, to-
morrow or Friday the Roosevelt menu

Withdrew from the body, tonight
withdrew in person and effect with
drew all of the Roosevelt contests
which had been scaled down from 80 to
rs.
Col Roosevelt tonight, was in the
midst of series OF exciting confer
ences and was busy figuring out the
loyal delegates whom he could expect
to carry with him out of the conver-
ton, or rather into separate conyen-
ton on the convention floor in event
the crisis is reached
People who talked with the Colonel,
tonight, declared there was no longer
any doubt as to his attitude. Con-
WINGED that the credentials commit
tee was against him and would re-
tain the contested Taft delegates in
their seats, Col Roosevelt decided to
go no further with his futile fight in
the regular convention. The Colonel
would not issue a formal statement
as to his warlilxe Intentions, early in
the evening, but was said to have
made this position clear to his fol-
lowers.
Some of the conferences with head
quarters We're exciting.
Senator Borah of Idaho, it was re-
ported. declared as he left the Roose-
welt rooms that he would not bolt.
There was much talk of Justice
Charles e. Hughes of New York as
the candidate of the convention. Some
of the leaders ventured to suggest a
ticket of Hughes and Hadley.
All sorts of wild rumors were current
as the crash came.
The fact that the Taft forces strength
ened their hold on the convention in the
test vote, today. getting 564 votes as
against 55s. yesterday, threw the opposi-
ton forces into something of panic.
The Roosevelt vote in the convention.
today, was So but it was realized that 26
votes from Wisconsin, 10 from Iowa and
10 from North Dakota must be deducted
from that on a Presidential ballot, while
but few of the Taft votes could be
gained.

The issue has been joined. he said.
Il have just come from a two hours
conference of the Pennsylvania dele
cation, and we voted unanimously to
walk out of convention controlled by
the Taft forces through the grand
fraud.
I'VE have been patient. but the parting
of the ways has come
Then Col. Roosevelt appeared and inn
mediately began to speak.
II am going to ask you to take re-
cess until / can get certain facts and
lay them before YOU" he said. Il earn
estly counsel you not to discuss what
you intend to do until you have the facts
before you.
II can tell you the general outline of
what shall do so far as / am concerned.
l shall never shall recognize in a Re-
publican convention a majority of which
a large part is composed of fraudulently
seated delegates from the states of
which Gov. Hadley spoke. today. That
is not a convention of the Republican
party. A convention of the Republican
party is a convention the majority of
which Is elected by the people and not
appointed by a moribund national COM
mittee. ] am for convention in which
sit the mensseleeted by the states of
Washington and Arizona, and not the
men appointed from Washington and
Arizona by the defanct bosses of other
states. The time has come now when
we must assert absolutely the right of
the people to run the national conFen-
ton to have their own representatives
put in the convention. / see that it was
held, today, that of these contested dele
gates all were to vote on one another 3
cases on the ground of precedent. The
argument in favor of that precedent is
of the type of the argument made by a
clever corporation lawyer when advising
corporation how to keep within law
and yet do what the law intended to for
bid. This kind of bad faith vitiates any
proposition Fraud destroys any con-
tract"

Rumors of Rupture
Very Persistent.

Chicago, June 19-Talk of a definite
rupture in the convention was insis-
tent tonight, in the Roosevelt camp.
Reports of this nature were repeated
so frequently as to lend color TO the
belief of many that they were well
grounded. The use of the term Bolt f"
however, was avoided carefully by
supporters of the ex-President. whose
contention is that. should there be a
final break they and not their oppon-
ents win constitute the genuine Re-
publican convention.
According to these unofficial state
ments. the Roosevelt program will be
this:
Should the credentials committee
uphold the temporary roll adopted by
the National committee and the con-
Vention in turn accept the report of
the credentials committee. thereby An
ally seating the delegates whom Col.
Roosevelt asserts to have been fraudu-
lently placed on the temporary roll,
those of the ex- Presidents adherents
who are willing to stand with him
through thick and thin, win withdraw
from the convention on the instant.
The plan as talked of does not con-
template withdrawal of the Roosevelt
delegates from the Coliseum. but the
holding Of a double headed convention
In the same hall
As soon as word of the final break
is flashed to Col Roosevelt over his
private wire, ii was said he will be
whirled by automobile to the conven-
ton hall to lead his fight in person.
1t was regarded as probable that the
colonel would not go to the conven-
ton except under such circumstances.
Col. Roosevelt was said, today, to have
procured enough tickets to the Coli
scum to admit him and the members
of his immediate party These tickets,
however, would admit him erely as a
spectator.
Reports of this plan reached the ears
of the authorities in charge of the con-
vention, who said. tonight. under nc
circumstances would they permit the
