the western invaders whether for

ten into the party platform in bold
type.
The national committee, by seating
the Taft delegates in the southern
states where contests had been
brought and by overriding the appar-
ent popular vote in certain of the d.

conservatives an apparent majority OF
the delegates to the controversy. How

Immediately upon his arrival this

Roosevelt. There are at least sixty
delegates on that roll who have been

yention. The fraud will be prevented
By any means necessary to prevent

That is as far as Colonel Roosevelt

and means, he declined to talk.

managers, mapped out In part before
the colonel arrived, is briefly to OBJ.
ject at the very beginning to the ter1-
porary roll Of the convention offered
by the national committee As en-
dorsed by Roosevelt. the plan is to take
any and all steps necessary to make
that objection stick.
We shaft insist, z said Governor
Johnson that roll made Up by fraud
isfnot the roll. we shall refuse to ac-
cept 1t. More than that, we shall in
sist that those whose seats are taint-
ed with fraud shall not sit on the
question of their own guilt. We shall
insist that the delegates whose right
to sit is not questioned pass on the
right Of the other delegates to their
seats. 1t is good law. and 1t is a
principle as old as the magma charta
that the person accused of crime shall
not sit to determine his own guilt,
We shall insist that men who hold
fraudulent credentials shall not vote
on the right Of themselves, and others
holding similar credentials to sit, and
vote"
It has been the ordinary practice of
conventions to permit the reading OF
the temporary roll of delegates as
made up by the national committee.
Later, the contests are referred to a
credentials committee, which approves
the findings OF the national committee
in making up the temporary roll

In working out such program. II
IS evident that the delegates seated
by the national committee in its tenn
porary roll sit and vote on the right Of
others to hold their seats. The Taft
people are relying on a precedent
made at the Harrison convention
where It was agreed that contested
delegations, while they could not vote
on their own contests, could vote or
other contested cases.
This proposition will be challenged
from the start by the Roosevelt peo
pie.
