ant one. In the afternoon the

the people from attending the ses-
sions for the church was thronged
from morning until night. About
p. m. the drizzle changed to
heavy downpour but at 1880 the
church was packed to the doors as
usual and nobody seemed to be maxi
ing any comments ON the weather or
even thinking about II at all
The morning was mainly taken
up with the organization and per-
feeting of the conference officers and

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 90
Gov. Marshall, Democratic vice
presidential nominee, in speech
here today charged that Colonel
Roosevelt when president violated
every precedent of the republic" in
the matter of the consolidation of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
with the United States Steel Cor
poration, thereby further fastening
the power of the invisible govern
ment' upon the people," The speak
er's address also contained a caustie
criticism of former Senator Bever-
idge of Indiana and the Progressive
party.
"The brilliant, versatile and plaus-
ible 1ndianian, who acted as tempo
rary chairman of the National Pro-
gressiye convention and who was
named by the new party as its can
didate for governor in my state, rang

upon the evils of what he called the
invisible government said Cover
nor Marshall.
Late of Discovery.
1t was evident that he had just
discovered an existing condition Of
affairs which the Democratic party
had for many years been charging
to exist. The difficulty with the
Progressive is that nothing exists
until he discovers it and that he
never discovers it until he can use
1t in his business. So long as it does
not interfere with his political suc-
cess, for him, 1t is as though il were
not.
"The invisible government is no
new discovery for the Democrat
That is the government which the
genuine Democrat has been fighting
for more than three decades. He was
fighting this menace to righteous
ness and good government during all
of the years that Theodore Roosevelt
and Albert J. Beveridge did not know
of its existence.
"The Democrat was alert, IL pow.
erless, during the years that Sena.
tor Beveridge was standing in the
United States Senate and by vote
and voice fastening the power OF
this invisible government upon the
topping millions of America. The
Democrats of Indiana knew that this
invisible government existed when
Senator Beveridge found as his
champion, two years ago, an alleged
Democrat, who by the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill, had procured monopoly
upon the glazed paper industry of
the United States. The Democrat
knew that the invisible government
existed when Theodore Roosevelt
violated every precedent of the Re-
publican, struck the constitution as
though it were an unruly child, and
by the very force and power of his
great office, aided and abetted in
the consolidation of the Tennessee
Iron and Coal Company with the
United States Steel Corporation
thereby further fastening the power
of this invisible government upon
the people. The Democrat knew
during all the time of the campaign
oratory of both Theodore Roosevelt
and Albert j. Beveridge that though
the voice might be the voice of
Jacob, the hand was the hand of
Esau.
Lack of Discrimination.
It snail reveal an amazing lack
of discrimination on the part of the
American people If they choose as
their agents to destroy this 'invis-
ible government these gentlemen
who never discovered its existence
until after they had been retired
from office. Conversion is a good
thing, but in no church that know
Of, do they discharge the preacher
and put the convert Immediately in
to the pulpit. Even so great and
good a man as the Apostle Paul
deemed it epedient to wait three
years after his conversion before he
began to give advice to the people
who knew all the time that thereto
fore he had been wrong.
But the worst feature the Pro-
gressives' discovery of this 'invis-
ible government reveals is their pre-
tense that they have laid out a cam
paign whereby they can capture and
destroy 1T. Let us, however, reason
together. No government of any
Kind can endure without the power

plause and jeers greeted one vote after

With Oregon's three for Root and six

Serious Business.
Aside from the absence OF rough
orately prepared for by the heavy po-
lice guard and the extraordinary pains
OF the national committee officers to
guard against outbreaks OF any kind,
there were several remarkable things
about the convention.
1t was desperately serious business
from beginning to end. There was abb
solutely none OF that continual uproar
extending into long minutes, even
hours, which lately have become fea-
ture of political conventions. On the
contrary. there was marked tense-
ness and an atmosphere surcharged
with watchfulness.
Well-known leaders came into the
hall unnoticed; there was entire alb
sence OF tributes of applause by state
delegations to "favorite sons" After
Roots election. when he came upon
the platform. the welcome to him
lasted perhaps 30 seconds, and when
he began his speech Pennsylvania
showed its bitterness toward him will
jeers. which went far to discount tho
cordiality Of his reception.

Root were the only encroachment In
that state upon the vote cast for Me
Govern. Pennsylvania made even a
fiercer protest against the vote OF an
alternate.
There Is prospect. however. of a
more bitter struggle tomorrow when
the convention will take up rs unfin-
lshed business motion of Governor
Hadley of Missouri to strike from the
temporary roll of the convention us
prepared by the national committee the
names of 92 delegates seated by the
national committee In contested dele
CATION cases and to substitute those of
the Roosevelt contestants.
II was In precisely this effort on the
part of the Roosevelt men that the
whole day was spent in struggle. The
chaplain scarcely had finished his in
vocation of divine blessing upon the
convention before Governor Hadley was
on his feet objecting to the personnel
OF the convention itself. This led to
n long and intricate parliamentary
argument.
A Strenuous Job.
Chairman Victor Rosewater of the
national committee. upon whose
shoulders had fallen the ordinarily per-
functory duty of calling the convention
to order and presenting the recomnen
dations of the committee for the tenn
porary officers of the convention, found
himself with an abebodied job of pre-
siding over what seemed to be turbu-
lent and passionate war of factions.
Keen Interest.
| The chairman's initial ruling was or
the Hadey objection and was to thu
effect that until the national commit
tee had presented the temporary roll
made up from the credentials from TIN
individual states and districts and it
Judgment upon contests, there was NJ
convention: the gathering was a mer
mass meeting and nothing could b.
done until n preliminary organization
had been effected by the selection of |
presiding officer. He held that alb
solutely no business was in order ex
cept the selection of such an officer
He said he had no desire to be arbi
tmry in his ruling and would allow 2
minutes to each side to present argu
ments on the subject. These argu
ments were presented by Governo
Hadley and former Governor Fort o
New Jersey on the Roosevelt side an
by Representative s. 70. Payne Of Nes
York and former Representative Jane
II. Watson of Indiana In behalf of tn
Taft people. After the argument
were finished Chairman RoseWater re
sumed his ruling that nothing wa
under consideration, but nomination
for. the temporary chairman. II
pointed to the recommendation OF Sen
ator Root and asked for further nomi

further opposition to this ruling. Th

Chicago. June 1s.-Against tn
threats, charges and bitter inveetive OF
the Roosevelt forces, the Taft support
ers In the republican national conven-
ton put through today the first por-
tion of their program by clecting Sena-
tor Root of New York temporary
chairman. In spite of the fact that
Victor Rosewater, chairman of the ma
tional committee. consistently ruled out

Roosevelt forces, 1t required more than
five hours to reach vote on the

The calling OF the roll was beset
with difficulties from the very first

the end, when the tumult had died
away. Senator Root was found TO nave

scattering votes and four not voting.
Tonight both the Taft and Roose-
welt forces are asserting that this vote

The advantage appears to be with
the president, however. for while he IL

were cast for Senator Root It Is said

they show that 1t Is sessential TO name
