we refuse to recognize or abide by
this theft of the rights of the people
by the National committee. 1t is the
duty of all honest members of the
convention to fight that action from
the moment the convention assemblies.
1t is our duty to the rank and file of
the Republican party; it is our duty to
the people of this country, to insist
that 70 action of the convention which
is based upon the votes of these fraud
ulently seated delegates binds the Re

put in effect their purposes. IT such a
man-whether he be Mr. Root or any
one else and whatever his previous
career--is willing to accept an election
by the aid of those fraudulently Sc
leeted delegates, he at once becomes
the representative of forces which no
loyal Republican can afford to see
triumph whether within the party or in
our national life. The big, evil poll
ticianS who are a curse to their land
derive the major part of their strength
from the fact that in any crisis a
number of respectable men, although
they oppose the evil do it feebly and
dare not carry the fight to the end
We who are in this fight are not feeble
and we intend to carry the fight to the
end. We ask that. before the conven-
ton proceeds to organize, the groups
of contested delegates stand aside ano
allow their title to be passed upon by
the remaining uncontested delegates.
This will be not only in strict accord
ance with common sense and Justice,
but in accordance with the practice
prevailing under the rules of Congress
In the organization of the House in
the matter of contested seats. We will
abide by the decision of any honest
and impartial tribunal in this matter;
but we will not permit the fraudulently
seated delegates to sit as judges on
their own cases and perhaps as a re-
suit to overthrow in the interests of
|certain bosses and beneficiaries of
privilege the clearly and deliberately
expressed judgment of the plain citi-
zens who make up the rank and file

I'VE rest our case not only before
the Republican voters. but before the
American people, upon the proposition

not defeat the wishes of the rank and

seating delegates honestly elected, and
second, that those who are dishonesty

THE CoLoNEL'S SPEECH.

Chicago, June lion the eve of the
Republican National convention, Col
Roosevelt tonight, disclosed the line OF
attack which he will make. He laid
down two principles. He said that the
delegates whose selection he contests
must not vote in the organization OF
the convention or upon the settlement
of the contest and made it clear that
he would resist it. He declared that no
action of the convention based upon
the votes of these "Fraudulently seated
delegates, would be binding upon the
Republican party"
1t was at the Roosevelt rally i'm the
Auditorium that the ex-President made
his challenge. He was facing a cheer
ing throng which damned the huge
building as tightly as the fire marshal
would permit. Reaching far to the
rear, to the last line of seats and to
the top of the topmost balcony were
solid rows of men and women; dele
gates from evey part of the country.
Roosevelt leaders and a host of privates
in the Roosevelt army. They gave the
ex-Prcsident a mighty welcome Col.
Roosevelt made a fighting speech. His
hearers were in fighting mood. They
cheered him on as he denounced his
opponents and shouted TO him: Go at
them, Teddy" knock out the steam
roller" Fit them again.
Long before Roosevelt reached the
Auditorium every seat WAS taken. Out
side the building were thousands who

hundred policemen held them back
Senator Borah made a speech while
the crowd was waiting for Col. Roose-
welt. His remarks were brought to an
untimeiy end when the people leaped
to their feet with veil.
The Speech.
1t was nearly four minutes later
when the welcome subsidized The
colonel waved his hands and smiled.
He was frequently interrupted during
his speech with storms of applause
He frequently departed from his pre-
pared address for thrust which
brought the people to their feet, shout
ing and waving the flags which were
handed each person on entering the
hall.
4 made my fight square and fair in
the open and / won" he said. 81 don't

The colonel gave new definition

claimed. who are about so people with
the ratio of honesty ranging from
about IA to 30, and the remaining so

Col. Roosevelt began to call the roll
of some of his most prominent oppon-
ents. AT the first he mentioned, a
groan came from the crowd. With
the next name the groan became 4
roar.
1T is bad enough" he complained,
ito have the victory stolen by the
bosses that are living. but it is an out
rage to have it stolen by bosses that
are among the unburied dead"
When Col. Roosevelt said that any
action of thex convention, if brought
about by the votes of delegates fraudu-
Iently seated would not be binding
upon the party. there came the Wild

ming. The crowd leaped up with a
shout and refused to be quieted. de-
spite the colonel's attempt to con-

own villages, filling the land regerved
to them by the government, ami are
governed In their local affairs by their
ancient system Of caciqueism, modi-
fled only by their acceptance Of the
Roman Catholic faith. In essentials
they have not changed their mode Of

In the Rio Grande valley. In the
vicinity of Albuquerque, one may see
in its original form, the origin OF civil
ization in what is now the United
States Wherever primitive man was
blessed with abundant rainfall

greater effort than the staying of a
beast, there primitive man remained a
savage. It was only when some wilder
tribe drove a defenceless body of ter
ror-stricken saVages into a cherries
desert, that man was forced out of
his necessity to conceive an inven-
ton. In the valley Of the Nile, in the
morning Of the world. some refugees
invented a bucket to lift water out OF
the river on to the barren desert
sands. There were born science and
art and letters and all that man
now is.

The Pueblo indians build dams and
