tho convention represented nothing
but successful fraud in overriding the
will of the rank and file of the party.
Mr.. Roosevelt urged the men elected
as delegates for him to decline to
vote on any matter before the conven.
ton.
Much disorder prevailed throughout
the calling of the roll Of states on the
presidential nomination. It was inter.
rupted continually by sQuabbles among
the delegates, storms of cheers, tidal
waves Of groans, catcalls, and toots
of hundreds of tin whistles
The temper exhibited throughout the
final day of the convention and espe,
cially during the hours when the pres.
idential nomination itself was under
formal consideration clearly showed
that the nonparticipating Roosevelt
delegates will not under any circum.
stances recognize the ticket named
Went With Rush.
When the convention met Saturday
morning permanent organization was
still several hours distant and was
not perfected until about the middle OF
the afternoon Then the forces in
control rushed in with vengeance
They sidetracked the anticipated warm
fight over matters pertaining Ito
changes in the national convention
rules by laying on the table. without
ceremony, the entire report of the
rules committee. Thus the question
Of southern representation will remain
q vexatious problem for four years
hence Questions affecting primaries
In connection with the national con-
vention call for four years hence also
remain unsettled.
With the rules fight avoided, the ma
jor1ty and minority reports of the
platform committee were taken up and
disposed of in q hurry. The only mi
nority report came from the La Fol
lette members of the committee on
resolutions. Some of the Roosevelt
delegates, notably large majority of
the Illinois delegation, voted for the
majority report framed by the Taft
forces, but most of them refrained
from voting at all on the platform, the
same as they did on the presidential
nomination The platform was adopt
ed by a vote of 666 to So, 343 dele
gates being present and not voting. Of
the So votes cast against the majority
report SO represented the original La
Toilette strength and 10 were the
Cummins votes in Iowa.
Intense Bitterness.
Bitterness was intense at some
stagesssof the, strange fight in which
the main portion of the forces Of the

one between, the members, Of the I'LL

The Roosevelt delegates laughed and
