The new Roosevelt doctrine has
not one principle or thought in
common with the republican party,
and fusion in an attempt to secure
temporary political advantage is
out of the question. President Taft
is an able and fit representative of
real republican doctrines and his
nomination was secured by a clear
majority of all the delegates elect
ed and on the first ballot. There
is neither reason nor excuse for
any temporizing on this question.
He stands today as the standard
bearer of the republican party.
You are either for him or against
him. In other words you are either
a republican or not. No state Of
ficers can really represent the
principles of the party; for the
party is a national organization. the
state organization being merely a
minor member Of the parent body.
The election of state officials is
matter of small Importance CON-
pared to the great question OF
whether the party which has guild
ed the nation through its internal
strife and disasters to greatness
and prosperity shall remain at the
helm or whether the reins shall be
turned over to the organization that
has with every success brought ruin
and poverty. II President Taft is
defeated the question of whether
or not the local tickets win is OF
small Importance. ,f.

NO FUSION
The Principles of the Party a
Stake and No Compromise Pos
ablo

The scheme advanced by some
politicians looking to a fusion of
the regular republican party with
the new Roosevelt party on state
and county offices is born Of the
politicians desire to win regardless
of consequences. The mass of the
party is not interested in the dis
tribution of offices or the question
of temporary expediency. but In
maintaining those principles on
which the republican party was
created and grew to be the great
est and most potent Influence for
good in this republic.

With these words. Irving Howber'
the Colorado Springs delegate to

the work of the convention yester-
day afternoon at the meeting of the

meeting at the request of Chairman
F. F. Schneider and the Is other

in which he handled the topic won
the admiration of every person
in the room. Mr.. Howbert said in

strong .adherent of Roosevelt, de-
claring that they we're too flimsy
to merit consideration and should
not have been filed. This left about
rs contests which the committee
found worthy of consideration and
on many of these the Taft dele
nous vote of the committee, while
others were seated by majority
vote of about 40 to 13. The COM
mittee on credentials, composed OF
53 members. went over the ground
covered by the national committee
in the contests and approved of its
work by aivote OF 40 to 13 and In
its report vindicated the national
committee in its work.
I'm the convention the contests
were threshed out in detail by a
discussion on the majority and mi
nority reports. i was present at
every session Of the convention dur
ing the whole time and was in
a favorable. position to hear all the
debates. aspthenC colorado delegation
had seats near the front of the
hall and close to the platform. I
heard every argument on both the
sides and did not have to depend on
hotel gossip or newspaper headlines
for my information. l acted and
voted on my Judgment. as 1 firm
ly believe did every one OF the
delegates from this state. as we
never held any caucuses nor were
subjected TO any pressure from any
source. Aside from the contests in
Texas. Arizona. Alabama, Califor-
mia and Washington. the contests
on the floor were perfunctory and
not even a roll call was asked for.
The rulings of Chairman Root were
eminently fair and were not even
questioned by the opposition. and
in every instance ample time was
given the minority for discussing
their issues"
Mr.. Howbert then discussed the
contests lin Texas. Arizona, Califor-
mia and Washington and showed
that in every instance there was
good ground for seating the Taft
delegates that we're seated from
these states. He rceounted the no.
torious methods of Cecil Lyon. the
Roosevelt political autocrat" i in
Texas. by which the Republican
party in Texas had been PRACTICAL
ly wiped off the map and its vote
reduced from 100000 to 10000.
The Arizona delegation had been
elected by a coterie of Insurgents
without any regular authority, and
the same condition pre-
vailed in the Washington contests.
He went into the contest in more
detail and said in part:
I'm California two Taft dele
gates were seated and the Roose-
welt delegates from that state were
so bitter and abusive that these
two had to be given seats else
where. The facts as concerns CAL
lfornia are that Governor John
son last fall called the legislature
in special session and passed a
measure regulating the election of
delegates. This measure
ignored the rule of the
Republican party that delegates
shall be elected from districts and
hat the unit rule shall not pre-
vail. The Johnson measure COM

of the vote in San Francisco. One
district had a majority for Taft and
the national committee decided
that he was entitled to these two
delegates, as indeed he was under
every rule of the Republican party.
The precedent was very dan
gerOus one and had it been allowed
to stand unchallenged would have
resulted In the disruption of the
Republican party as a national body
for VI every state legislature can
make rules governing the Republi-
can party nothing but chaos could
result. Yet 1t was chiefly on these
two delegates that the Roosevelt
people raised the cry, Thou shalt
not steal The question was not
SO much one of a couple of dele
gates here or there. but it was a
fundamental one that hit at the
very root OF the Republican party.
The very same issue under the
very same circumstances had been
fought out in Illinois in 1880, when
Grant was out for third term
and was settled at that time in
exactly the same way, as the con-
vention at that time also foresaw
the danger of establishing such a
precedent.

Of thieves and traitors before we
got through. The Bible says Thou
shalt not steal but Mr.. Roosevelt
has forgotten it also says Thou
shalt not bear false witness.
Mr.. Howbert pointed out that

most cases only 80 per cent of the

the third party to name the third
termer has been issued. There has
been considerable wonder as to
whether there would be a conven-
tion. and now that the call has
gone out the greater wonder is why
is there to be a convention.
National political conventions are
held principally to nominate can
didates for the presidency and vice
presidency and to adopt a platform
on which the party in convention
assembled can go before the peo-
pie of the country in appeal for
their votes in support of the can
didate thereon. Such being the
reason for conventions. the call
for convention for p, the third
party under existing circumstances
makes it appear most ridiculous.
But. then. the dictator of the
third party has been guilty OF 80
much that is outlandish. that the
reversal of the established Or
der of things should not cause SO
very much wonderment. Instead
of the usual order of national po-
litical, conventions. the third party
already has its candidate for the
presidency selected and its plat
form written, and the convention is
to be held for-well. dear knows
what. Probably the self appoint
ed delegates are to be put to the
expense CD of going to Chicago
merely to 60 through the form
OF nominating q running mate for
the third-termer. But. we doubt II
this Is necessary. since Ben Lindsey
has repeatedly stated that Mr..
Roosevelt has picked him a. the
candidate for the vice presidency.

own nomination by the third party
and he has written the platform.
