early in the day that MIR. Taft would
be nominated without great difficulty,
the leaders in control OF the conven-
ton decided TO give him as a running
mate his companion on the ticket in
1908.
All others dropped from the race
and Mr.. Sherman was the only can
didate regularly placed before the con-
vention. A motion from New Hamp-
shire to make the nomination by &C.
clamation was declared out OF order.
There were many scattering votes on
the roll call that ensued.
The convention, amid much confu-
sion, adjourned sine die.
At no time was there any indication
of q walk-out of Roosevelt delegates.
They expressed their revolt by silence.
The revolt was open from the moment
the permanent roll containing the
anne Of contested delegates was ap-
proved.
A "valedictory" statement was read
IN behalf Of Colonel Roosevelt. asking
that his name be not presented and
that his delegates sit in mute protest
against all snrther proceedings.

Henry j. Allen-be permitted to make
a statement. 1t that all right? The
chair hears no objections"
MIR. Allen then came forward to
read the Roosevelt statement and to
pronounce the Roosevelt valedictory."
When he announced he vas about to
read "a statement just placed in my
hands from Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt" the Roosevelt adherents broke
into a demonstration and cheering and
renewed cries of I'VE want Teddy"
Mr.. Allen when he had obtained at
tention, asked that the delegates keep
quiet: that what he had to say was
not intended to start demonstrations
but to set out the position of Pro-
gressive Republicans. He was listen
ed to attentively for a time and first
read the Roosevelt statement.
1--WE have reached a point" lie said,
where a majority of the Roosevelt
delegates feel that they can not longer
share in the response for the acts
of this convention. We have contend
ed with you until we have exhausted
every parliamentary privilege in the
effort to have placed upon the roll the
names of men legally elected.
1--WE will not participate with you
in completing the scuttling of the ship.
We will not say to the young men Of
the nation, who, reading political his
tory, with their patriotism, long to
catch step with the party of their
fathers, that we have nothing better
to offer them at this hour than this
new declaration of human rights that
a discarded political committee as it's
last act holds greater power than a
majority of over 1000, 900 voters. We
don't bolt. We merely insist that you,
not we, are making the record. And
we refuse to be bound by it. We have
pleaded with you 10 days. We have
fought with you five days for a square
deal We fight ne more We plead on
longer. We shall sit in protest and
the people who sent us here shall
Judge u.s."
Mr.. Allen was followed by a storm
of cheers as he concluded and left the
platform.
Coup by Taft Men.
Then anne a distant and surprising
coup by the Taft leaders. A big fight
had been expected on the report of the
rules committee which sought to
change the rules in many respects, Civ
ing greater power to the national com

of the Roosevelt followers, the meth
DDS of the present convention.

Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose of effecting a temporary
organization.
Beginning with a call to be issued

work of organization will be pushed
forward rapidly, state by state. At a
later time, probably early in August, 1t
is intended that a national convention
shall be held. Colonel Roosevelt, in
accepting the nomination. said he did
so on the understanding hat he would
willingly step aside if it should be the
