trictS. after the convention call had been
issued. the State Legislature changed the
boundaries of those districts. 1ne con-
vcntions were held according to the old
district boundaries AT the suggestion of
the Republican state committee in order
To prevent confusion. and when the ait
crowd won AT these conventions the
Roosevelt people held conventions ac-
coriiug to the new boundaries. The Taft
people insisted if they had participated
in con cntions along the new boundaries
that the Taft people would have been IN
control OF those conventions also. The
contests in the seventh. Eighth and Tenth
dis .ricts largely were based upon that
technicality.
TAFT CONTEST.
In the last Kentucky contest. the Elev
enth Congress district, the Roosevelt
delegates had the right Of way and two
Taft delegates we're the contestants
Edwin j. Morrow. for the Taft forces
told the committee there were ~, uncon-
tested Tai, delegates and iU uncontested
Roosevelt delegates in the district CON
vention. with io3 contested delega ties.
He declared that the convention creden
tials committee was named by the Roose-
welt temporary chairman of the Conven
tion in violation of the party rules. the
committee comprising five members in
stead OF one member from each of the
nineteen counties in the district. as pro-
vidcd in the State convention rolls.
This committee on credentials. said
Mr.. Morrow. wa, composed of four Roose
velt men and one Taft man and gave the
Roosevelt faction contested the delegates
The friends of President Taft would have
controlled the credentials committee had
it been composed one from each county

Judge O'Rcar met this argument with
the statement that the party regulations
covering the selection of a credentials
committee were merely suggestive and not
binding.

Russian police spy. The case is to be
tried In October. hut the examination OF
Mensh!koff was ordered yesterday by
Judge Hough on the ground that he is
obliged to return to Europe soon.
Mensh!koff was questioned chiefly
about reports from police spies in New

the Russian revolutionary movement in
all countries. Menshikoff testified that
he had made transcripts OF the BLACK
book" when he was a police official and
that some of the reports came from
spies in New York.
Bourtzcf has charged that Evalenko
reported to the Russian police under
three assumed names. Mcnshikoff tes-
tilted that there is an Endorsement ON
the official record that two of these
fictitious names belong to Evalcnko.

In other words. Senator Dixon is at
tempting to undermine the national COM
nittee in the public mind while MIR. Finn
is endeav oring to impress upon all Taft
delegates that the denomination OF the
President would mean defeat all along
the line.
Clifford Pinchot following out Senator
Dixon's policy. issued the following state
ment tonight:
The whole nation is watching the at
tempted assassination Of the Republican
party in order that certain politicians may
pick its pockets when dead The situation
is perfectly clear. 4 majority Of the ma
tional committee represents the bad old
order OF politics for spoils. These gentle
men realize, OF course. that Mr. TAFT could
not he elected II he were nominated; that
the party would share his defeat. But they
care little for that. The point with them is
to save the old corrupt machines alive and
keep control Of them. II Roosevelt wins
they disappear from public life. They
cannot beat him by fair means. so they are
willing to Use foul means.
There is just one answer to such methods.
The national committee is not the Repub-
lican party. But the majority of the ma
| tional committee has decided that the ma jOr-
! ity OF the Republican party must not rule
' and has taken to plain stealing in order to
i prevent II. Many a nomination has been
stolen in the past. but the time for that
| sort of thing has passed. The Presidential
nomination cannot be stolen this year, for
! the sufficient reason that the whole nation is
! watching.
The majority of the national committee
evidently believes the nomination is a uues-
ton OF politics. They are mistaken. II is
! a question Of self government and common
honesty in public affairs. a general ISSUE OF
real importance to all good citizens Of
every party. and when n moral issue gets
suuarely before our people the result Is
never in doubt
| Here in Chicago one Of two things will
happen. II the Taft majority in the ma
tionsl committee abandons its determine
ton to steal the nomination. Roosevelt will
win: II the national committee persists
in the effort to steal. its dishonesty will be
repudiated by the national convention and
Roosevelt will win. | am we'll pleased with
