Complex Situation.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 1o.-The failure
OF the Taft delegates in California to sign
the preference and delegates pledges
promises an exceedingly complex situa
ton. Roosevelt supporters already have
planned to contest the rights OF the dele
gates should they be elected.
Both sides are agreed that the Taft
delegates had a legal right to omit Sign
Ing the pledges inasmuch as both pledges.
under the law, are optional but not obliga~
tory.
Roosevelt leaders declare the purpose
OF the action was 10 save some struggling
votes for Taft In the event that Roosevelt
carried the majority Of the districts. Had
they signed the pledges they would have
been obliged TO vote for Roosevelt, AZ the
delegates pledge binds them to support
that candidate who shall have received
the highest number Of votes cast through
out the state.
From Roosevelt headquarters comes the
intimation that any attempt to seat dele
gates from scattering districts Will be
contested on the ground that the Taft
men are not delegates from any particu-
lar district. but delegates at large.

tia vote In all tho nine states about
three out of every four Republicans
who voted at the primary were against
Mr.. Taft. II primaries could be held
IN all the states there would undoubt-
