He recited the vote of the several
candidates and the Roosevelt forces

the additional question whether, after

rose to a point of order. He was recog-
nized. His point was that Governor
Hadley's resolution was in effect an
indirect method of endeavorlng to
avoid ruling made by the chair days
ago He said the resolution, in his
opinion, was out of order
Root said:
THE chair was notified of the inten-
ton TO offer the resolution. The chair
has been in grave doubt OF his right
to entertain the motion for substantial
~ the reasons stated by the gentleman
from New York.
1T would deprive delegates whose
seats are contested Of any right to vote
on cases in which they are not con-
cerned,
For this reason the chair has been in
grave doubt Of its right to entertain
the resolution. It is so evidently in the
interest of the Republican party how
ever that the chair has decided to per-
nit the resolution to go before the
convention"
Delegate Watson. Of Indiana, then
moved that Hadley's resolution be ia
bled. Hadley's resolution follows
Resolved, That in the vote upon the
adoption of the minority report of the
committee on credentials that the dele
gates named in the list attached hereto
and whose names are on the temporary
list of the convention. but whose seats
are contested. shall not have the right

termined under the terms of this res
olution"

There was great INTEREST in the New

Stand by the Time
Honered Principles. -"

He pleaded with the convention ito
stand by the time -honored principles of
the Republican party and was APP
plauded and hooted as he left the stand.
James Watson then spoke.
"The question before us is one that
presents a principle. In California at
a preferential primary a majority of
the Republicans voted for Roosevelt
delegates in the Fourth district at the
same primary majority voted for
Taft delegates"
Meyer Lissener cried: You can't
prove it," Watson resumed.
Il have the certificates filed by the
registrar, showing that the Taft dele
gates received a majority in the dis
triet Before the contest in the nation
al committee, it was never denied that
these men won.
Can the majority of the party in
Los Angeles, no matter how big 1t may
be, name the delegates from San Fran
cisco?
Il speak for the right of every dis
trict to name it's own delegates. Our
friends held a primary. They wanted
to get near the people and it is the
people of the district who should say
who shall be their delegates.
Gentlemen, this is no better than
the unit rule. And unit rule by pri-
mary is no better than unit rule by

Governor Johnson was applauded as

Governor Johnson said

test far transcends any contest over

It also was learned that there has
been 10 personal difference between
Justus Goebel and Attorney General
Garrett, and they disagree only as to
the best policy to be pursued in guard
ing the States interests. Mr.. Goebel
was at the Capitol to-day and conferred
with Gov. McCreary, after, however,
the latter had given out his statement
for the press.
Mr.. Goebel wants an attorney
employed, it is understood, who has
been prominently identified with suits
for the Government and States against
corporations He desired the employ
ment of Attorney Rich, who worked
with him on the assessments, and except
for his desire to bring into the case the
influential personality of some famous
advocate, whose words ordinarily are
supposed to have greater weight with
courts than those of men of less wide
fame, there is no friction, it seems,
between Mr.. GOeble and the States
legal department.
