 Continued from Page II. with the temporary roll of the delegates | prepared by the executive committed ! Santa Cruz, Pinal and Yuma counties ] were however found to be without rep resentation in the convention, although delegates presented themselves from Santa Cruz county claiming the right to sit but were found to be without proper credentials. The convention having been estab- lished by the report of the credentials { committee. three committees were named consisting of a member from each county delegation, one on rules and order of business, a secod on plat form and resolutions and third to ! choose delegates and alternates and ! national committeeman nominees. i Everything went smooth until the report of the committee on platform i was received, when an effort was made ! to change the word instructed" to re quested. in the matter of the attitude that delegates should assume in ref , erence to their vote for Taft. That i delegates should go Instructed" was i the sense of the convention by a vote ! of over two to one.
 There was some further Oratory in connection with the motion of Creigh- i ton of MaricOpa that the delegates to Chicago should not be bound to the unit rule and the motion carried Then 1 followed some perfunctiary resolutions ! of thanks to Tucson for it's kind treat 1 ment Of the delegates and the prepar- atOn of the convention hall and offic- CTS of the convention for their ser vices.
 Every delegate was feeling easy. There had been no real fight their fav- orite candidate Wm. Howard Taft had , been endorsed and lauded. six delegates and an equal number of alternates had been elected to go to the Chicago convention, instructed to vote first, last and all time for his nomination to be president of the United States there were three cheers, long and loud and a tiger. The band played a little more Turkey-Trot music and the Taft con ventiOn adjourned.
 THE ROOSEVELT CONVENTION
 As soon as Governor Kibbey had indicated that the time had come to proceed independently of the conven- tion presided over by Chairman Hub bell. there was some rapid fire parlia- mentary procedure on the Roosevelt side of the house. Somebody nomin- ated and somebody seconded and with a San Joaquin war whoop it was car ried that Tom Malloy of Yuma should 10 b1 nd TOh paHr nf Pinal county, secretary of convention There was no mistake about it, the Taft people were shown in the twinkle of an eve how easy it was to hold two conventions in one hall at the same time. MallOy and Redman were on the stage and in second and were re- ceiving, putting, and declaring carried nr5tiOns at about the rate of ten to the minute. They demonstrated that their plans had been wonderfully well laid and there appeared to be no hitch in the procedure, although on account q of the playing of the band no one could tell what was being said or accomp- lished. There appeared to be no dis senting vote to any motion which was made. but on the contrary on every ruling of the chair there was whoop and hurrah.
 Resolutions and pledges were made delegates and alternates were elected and a national committeeman named and with a series of cheers for Col. T R and the carrying of the ban ners of the counties they repre- scented, the Roosevelt convention ad- jOrned and the delegates quilted the hall Tn the Roosevelt convention Graham, Mohave. Navajo, Apache ans ! COcOnin0 counties, were without rep ! resentation.
 THE END.
 Both conventions over, there wa! the best of feeling exhibited among tho delegates of both. Two or three auto mobile loads of Taft and Roosevelt delegates all associated together made a trip to the San Xavier mission Toastsarc are tonight being drunk b! groups of delegates in many of thu cafes, first to Taft and then to ROOse welt and out of the entire assemblag at both conventions it is hard to fini a single delegate who has not pledged himself to vote for the nominee of tn Chicago convention.
 In a statement issued tonight, Rober A. Kirk, in charge of the Taft burea1 in Arizona said: 'An instructed dele gation for President Taft is what
