fractional Fight Bitter.
The convention witnessed the cul-
mination of the most bitter, uncom-
promising factional fight in the annals
of American politics. Preceded for
weeks by fierce fight for delegates
between President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt. when the gavel of Victor
Rosewater called the convention to
order no one could foretell the out
come of the struggle for supremacy.
The battle ragged around the contest
ed delegates. The Roosevelt forces
demanded that no delegate whose seat
was in question should be permitted
to vote on the temporary organization.
a proposition to which the Taft men
fatty refused to agree. During the
short debate on this question the scene
was the most turbulent ever witnessed
in a national convention. The speak
ers were hooted and Kissed end
boohed, the Taft and Roosevelt parti-
sans taking equal delight in smother
ing each others speakers.
The Roosevelt leaders were unable
to prevent the contested delegates
from voting on temporary organiza-
ton, and the first test of strength
came on the vote for temporary chair
man, Senator Root, of New York,
who was recommended by the nation
al committee and supported by the
Taft organization, was elected over
Governor McGovern. Of Wisconsin.

the Roosevelt forces.
Roossvsr4 Men Propose Substitute Roll
Defeated in their efforts to prevent
the contested delegates going on the
temporary roll. the Roosevelt leaders
proposed to substitute q roll contain
ing 81 Roosevelt delegates In place OF
% Taft delegates seated by the ma
tional committee, before the appoint.
mont of the regular committees.
Wednesdays session was consumed
in fruitlsss effort to GUST the 90 con-
tested Taft delegates.
At the close of the debate the first
great ovation of the convention was
given to Governor Hadley Of Mis-

TRIP IN THE INTEREST OF THE
FAIR AND WILL VISIT A NUM-
Der OF COUNTIES DURING HIS
ABSENCE.

n. ]. Lillard. secretary and general
manager OF the Pensacola Interstate

yesterday morning for Milton, where

ida for the purpose OF meeting the
people of the counties in this section
of the state and talking to them
about the Pensacola Interstate Fair,
which begins Oct %.
Mr.. Lillard will be away about two
weeks, and, while he will endeavor to
arouse interest in the fair generally,
he will lay particular stress upon the
agricultural feature and will endeavor
to secure a county exhibit from every
county in the fair territory. Already
he has received assurances OF more
counties being represented than ever
before, but he hopes before his re-
turn to have received the assurance
that every county in the fair district
will be represented in the agricul-
tural department.
Mr.. Lillard was accompanied by w.
B. Mack, of The Journal, who will re-
port the meetings held for this paper.
Several applications for space for
concessions of various kinds have
been received already since Mr.. LII
lard left, and almost every mail con-
tains either applications or requests
of this kind, so that while he Is
''whooping up" the agricultural fea-
ture of the exposition the other fea-
lures are also continuing to look more
encouraging.
