knowledge TO the history OF what was

Taft Barnes machine in New York,

temptation was very strong to take
the delegates without risking q pri-

Arizona Comes First.

Arizona. came first in the list The
question there was whether a. Roosevelt
primary in a county or two was more
effective than TAFT caucuses in those
same counties. When the delegates thus
chosen got TO the state convention there
were seventeen uncontested Taft men
and a like number OF Roosevelt men In
that gathering. The state committee
had passed upon the credentials Of the
contested delegates and the Taft men
were put on the temporary roll. Then
the Roosevelt men got on one side OF
the hall and the Taft men on the other.
Anyone who requires more than one
guess as TO the finding OF the national
committee would confess ignorance OF the
committee.
Senator Borah and Mr.. Heney wanted
rollcalls on the question. but they did not
get them. I'VE need the time" Tait

Just as a matter Of interest, II might
be remarked In passing that Abe Ruef
seems to have been Mr. Heneys only

in the time he was before the commit
tee he gave the name or no other friend
there, though he did name Mr.. Ruef

There was also the case whether the
party law or the law of California was
supreme. The Taft side oontended for
party law. They urged that the district

California was trying to put into effect

Republican party has always contended,
