the call of the states for nominations
On the voting for president the
Roosevelt delegates again, as a rule
remained silent. The detailed vote
was: Taft SCI, Roosevelt 1O7, La Fol
lette Al, Cummins II, Hughes 2, not
voting 344, absent 6. At times during
the balloting the convention was in
great confusion.
Roosevelt Men Give Up Struggle.
From the very opening of the Taft
convention it was apparent that the
Roosevelt men had given up the strug-
gle against their opponents. They
had reached a point where they could
laugh at their own misfortunes, which
they did to the great enjoyment of the
entire convention. There were whis-
ties scattered about the Coliseum and
each advance of the steam roller was
preceded by q warning toot. All the
contested delegates we're given their
seats, with hardly Z moan from the
Roosevelt forces.
Even when the Texas contests were
reached and heard by the convention
tho steam roller failed to pause. The
program included a motion from
James E. Watson of Indiana favoring
adoption Of the credentials committee
report after each contest had been
heard. It soon became evident that
this was consuming too much time, so
Mr.. Watson only rose to his feet and
Chairman Root announced that the
motion had been made.
BY the same method Mr.. Root an
nounced that the motion had been car
ried after the thunderous volume of
objecting delegates had rent the air,
whereupon the Roosevelt men footed
their whistles, laughed and appeared
to be having the time of their lives.
It was not until the last contested
Taft delegate had been seated, how
ever, that the Roosevelt faction off,
cially announced that it was through.
The rest Of the program went through
with rush. The committee on per-
manent organization. reported; the
rules committees report was tabled
and the majority report on the plat
form was adopted quickly, the only
report being made by the La
Toilette faction. Following this came
the nominations.
