(continued Prom page ave.

titled. The national committee sus-
tanned the title OF the Taft delegates
and alternates by a practically un-
animous vote.
Fourteenth District,
In the fourteenth district there
were fifteen counties ipsthe district.
When the executive committee met
at San Antonio to make up the tenn
porary roll. there were ten members
of the committee present whose right
to act was unquestioned, of whom
six were for Taft and four for IRoose-
welt. There were four other Roose-
welt men present whose right to vote
was disputed and who we're clearly
not entitled to represent their coun-
ty at the meeting. One OF them held
the proxy of the commitment from
Kendall county, who was dead, and
the proxies from three other coun-
ties were held, two by postmasters
and one by an assistant postmaster,
while under the election law OF
Texas no one who holds an office or
profit or trust under the United
States shall act as member OF an
executive committee either for the
state or any district or county. The
temporary roll was MADE up by Taft
members. having clear majority.
without permitting these men to act
under their proxies. There was a
contest over the delegation from
,Bexar county which contains the city
Of San Antonio. Fufr consideration
was given TO this contest, but the
testimony was overwhelming that
Taft carried the county by vote
OF four or FIVE to one. On the proper
basis the total vote in the district
convention was sixty-seven, OF which
the number instructed or voting for
Taft was 81 1s2, the number voting
or instructed for Roosevelt 2s 1-2;
not voting /. The Taft delegation
was therefore seated at Chicago.
Conclusion.
The purpose OF this resume OF the
contest in which there was any shad-
ow of substance has been to inform
those who have not time or lncllna-
ton to read the longer and more de-
tailed account OF them contained in
the larger pamphlet. It IS not es-
sential to make Mr.. Taft's title In
disputable that all men agree on ev-
cry one OF the issues raised. They
were decided by the tribunals which
uniform party usage had made the
proper tribunals to decide such con-
tests. II those tribunals acted in
good faith, a mistaken Judgment
would not invalidate their decisions.
AS matter of fact. an examination
OF the facts show that the tribunals
were right in every instance. There
is not the slightest evidence that
they were moved by other than a
desire to reach q right conclusion.
On the other hand. the action of the
Roosevelt men in bringing 80 con-
tests that they promptly abandoned,
strongly tended to show the faca q
good faith in the prosecution OF all
Of them. Those who support PEesi-
dent Taft can well AFFORD to stand
~ A.
severate without fear OF successful
contradiction that the delegates.
whose seats were contested were as
FAIRLY seated m this convention as in
any in the history OF the party. b
