Must Amend the Law.

Inasmuch ne this decision Just newly

interior and in the courts of the land, eS
pressing as 1t does the extreme length to
which the advocates Of national conserva

the vested interests and rights OF the
western section OF tho country, Il is a
certainty that the western mining inter-
ests Will proceed TO carry their case to
congress and demand a new law that
will be capable OF doing justice denied un
der this new Interpretation Of an old Law.
1t has been hoped by many that the
department OF the interior would have
been willing TO reverse It's September,

rhe department had been made to appear
by some impractical clerk OF assistant at
Washington through this now famous
East Tintic case, and that even the in
competent or inexperienced clerks at
Washington would be willing 10 follow
the department. own precedent in con-
STRUNG an old law upon which construc-
tion has been based the past growth and
prosperity OF the western mineral Indus

THE TELEGRAM TO TAFT.
At a mass meeting of uncontested
Roosevelt delegates called together
after II o'clock, a thousand word
protest was wired to President Taft
against the announced intention of
Victor Rosewater, chairman of the
national committee, TO allow the con-
tested delegates to vote on their own
cases"
The meeting was attended by all
who could be drummed together az
the late hour and all were invited to
sign the document.
Mr.. Taft is asked to use the weight
Of his influence in this crisis to pre-
vent such action by Mr.. Rosewater.
1t is claimed by the protestants that
there are about 75 delegates whose
seats are seriously in question and
who are generally regarded as not
honestly entitled to vote in the con-
vention. 1t is urged as contrary to
Justice and TO parliamentary law that
those contested delegates should vote
OF their own cases.

ton Plans.
CRISIS IS POINTED OUT
Believed That Roosevelt, Losing
Control at Start, Will Call
Supporters From Hall.

Chicago, June 1S.-The Roosevelt
delegates in caucus early this morn
ing voted that it was the sense of the
meeting that less than $40 of the un-
contested delegates could be regarded
as binding majority of the republi-
can national convention.
This was construed by the delegates
present as meaning, as one of them
put II, "a bolt at the gO-off."
APPEAL TO TAFT.
The meeting adopted the text of a
long telegram TO President Taft at
pealing to him to disavow the action
of the national committee in its de-
feat of the Roosevelt contests. The
telegram was held up after being Civ
en- out in order to get the approval of
Senator Dixon.
SUGGESTED BY ILLINOIS CROWD.
A resolution was adopted at the
suggestion of the Illinois delegation
reading as follows:
No vote in the temporary organ
ization or any question concerned
Al4'ltN III snail bt NdIlus ulitSS IL Tt-
ceives the affirmative vote of $40 un-
contested delegates
This would be a majority of the
I ,o7S delegates constituting the full
convention.
ADMIT THEY HAVEN'T ENOUGH.
The delegates were frankly told by
the leaders, it is said, that they did
not have enough votes to control the
convention, as constituted by the ma
tional committee, which seated so
many of the contested delegates. II
was then that the Roosevelt delegates
decided on this drastic action.
The midnight conference complete
iv changed the situation from what
il had been earlier in the evening.

auditorium theatre nrging his fol-
lowers to fight from the jump" and

WISCONSIN SPLIT
ON A CHAIRMAN

Chicago, June 1S.-Senator Borah
announced Governor McGovern of
Wisconsin would be the Roosevelt
candidate for temporary chairman.
The decision was reached at a con-
ference with Roosevelt.
The Wisconsin delegation, at the
conclusion of caucus. decided l5 to
II that il would not present a can
Gidate for temporary chairman. That
Wisconsin would support Governor
McGovern for temporary chairman
was announced by H. F. Cochems.
Cochems placed La Toilette in nom
ination four years ago.
Several members of the minority
in the Wisconsin delegation expressed
dissatisfaction with the caucus action
and asserted their belief that they
could not be bound by it.

The disaffection has broken out in

a factor. Rosenfeld is already slated
for member of the committee on per.

This in substance is what Theodore

limiuary to the battle which began

ing that as far as President Taft and
himself were concerned. it mattered
not what the fate OF either might be-
the former president proceeded 10
maui the product OF his own political
handiwork as the representative of
all tina, is dishonest. unworthy and indie
cent in American politics. Roosevelt
pictured himself as the representative
of elementary deCeucy in a battle with
naked robbery. Then he condemned
the acts OF the republican national
committee as thievery with the counte-
nance and approval Of President Taft
through the cooperation Of his private
secretary and a cabinet minister. This
vas the protest which he voiced
against "a crime which strikes straight
al the heart OF every principle Of
political decency and honesty, a crime
representing treason 10 the people and
the usurpation of their authority by
irresponsible political bosses, inspired
by the sinister influences OF moEeyed
privilege"
This was the keynote Of the Roose-
ye.tian blast, and the entire discourse
sounded defiance and fight Hs de-
clared that he alone had saved the
day by becoming a candidate and that
but FOR his entry into the campaign
the fight for the progressives would
