STAMPEDE ATTEMPTED
President Tas Name Brought Forth Prolonged Cheers;
Roosevelt Delegates March Around Room Shouting:
1--WE Want Teddyw Confusion Reiens

Western Press
CHICAGO, June 19.-The second
days session is on here.
At 11:l5 Chairman Root took up the
gavel and raped for order. Colonel
Stone directed the assistant sergeants
at arms to clear the aisles. For III
teen minutes after Chairman Root S
gayel fell there was confusion.
Finally at 1l:2S the convention was
declared in order by Chairman Root.
Rev. Joseph Stoltz, chaplain OF the
day, pronounced the Invocation. There
was a good deal OF confusion Ia the
garlleries when the prayer was gong
on. The crowd is hard to handle.

With Elihu Root elected temporary
chairman of the national Republican
convention over Francis E. McGovern
of Wisconsin, the Roosevelt candidate
by 55S to 502, each faction Of the Re
publican party is loudly claiming that
the other has been defeated.
Roosevelt is out Of it," was the
jubilant cry Of the Taft men as they
left the hall yesterday after a high
placid session that lasted from noon
until 1880.
We've got Taft beaten" was the
shout of the Roosevelt men as tenn
porarily they abandoned their talk Of
bolt and went into a conference with
the view Of Strengthening their lines.
Today the generals, commanding the
rival forces, neither being confident OF
a victory for his own candidate, are
analyzing the result, trying to get
some comfort out of it. Up to noon
neither side was hopeful Of anything
but the defeat of the other.
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-06-20

At o'clock the convention has been
in an uproar for two hours over a
motion that the seventy-six delegates
chosen for Roosevelt be seated without
reference to the steam roller objec-
tions Of the credentials committee.
The debate was limited to three
hours. Bitter speeches were made on
5nth sides. Invective and insulting
declarations followed. Great excite
ment will prevail evidently until a
vote is reached. This is expected to
decide the success or defeat of Roose-
welt.
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-06-20

The Roosevelt forces will not rec
ognize Root as the legally elected tenn
porary Chairman oil the Repubncan
convention, Either the roll OF the
Republican, national convention will be
purged OF the delegates tfauduientiy
appearing on it or there will be u
double convention. This outline vi tae
Roosevelt plan OF campaign was given
prior TO the opening OF the second
days session oil the convention today
BY the leader of the Roosevelt forces.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY ON
THE PANAMA CANAL

Western Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 10
President Taft today signed the
Hughes eight-hour bill, placing the
limit on any days work done for the
government on the Panama canal.
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-06-20

Roosevelts chief lieutenants, includ-
ing Governors Hadley and Deneen,
served notice today that they will not
sanction a bolt, under any circum-
stances. They made no secret Of their
position in this respect and announced
it to number of newspaper men.
Just before the convention opened
Congressman Mckinley issued brief
statement. He said: 1--WE have the
bull by the horns. There is no doubt
as to President Taft's victory. OF
course, he expected opposition. They
will belittle his victory in seating
Root as temporary chairman. No mat
ter what they figure Roosevelt is with
out chance. He has dropped behind
over 10 votes. This he cannot ovel-
come"
1t is now believed by conservative
Taft men that the president has the
convention by a majority of forty
one and will be nominated by that
close vote on the third ballot.

CLEVELAND, O., March 29.--Set-

wage scale dispute on a basis salts
factory to both sides was announced
late tonight as having been practical
ly arranged.
A subcommittee to which the op-
orators and miners conference had re-
ferred a compromise offer by the mi

ment and the terms were being drawn
up.
The terms as given out provide for
increases in pay to the miners as fol-
lows:
Five cents a ton for mining lump
coal
Three cents a ton for mining all
other coal.
A short suspension in the bitumi-
nous field, however, was not thought
improbable, as the miners will have to
submit the compromise agreement to
a referendum vote of the union, pend
ing which it was said, it was unlikely
the men would work without an agree
ment.

tial section of Tulsa last night, and
mingled as the Tulsa Democrat would
says with the 'niggers."
There was much disappointment
among the large crowd Of negroes,
who overflowed Gurley hall in that
Mr.. Wooden was suddenly taken III.
Mr.. Wooden had told Messrs. Gurley
and Martin before the speaking began,
however, that inasmuch as the Tulsa
Democrat had depicted the colored
residential part of Tulsa as a disease
breeding place, he felt 1t his duty, out
Of respect for the Democrat, to get
sick as quick as he came to that part
of the city; and that az he was back
ing up everything the Democrat said
and the Democrat backing him back
he would simply have to get sick and
be taken home.
The democratic speake ers were lustl-
~ cheered and applauded. The crowd
accepted cigars which the candidates
handed out amidst much handshaking.
A rising vote OF thanks was accorded
the Tulsa Democrat for its efforts In
uplifting the negro race and the earn
estness 1t has shown In the past few
days to procure equal suffrage for
what its uncomfortable spirit some
times harshly calls the "nigger"
The meeting had been well adver-
tised through handbills gotten out 10y
the democrats. The union label was
omitted, unintentionally. no doubt An
of the speakers OF the evening empha-
sized the fact that they are true south
ern gentlemen and the several hundred
negroes present cheered heartily when
they were assured that the democrats OF
Tulsa welcomed the colored man into
the democratic party and that they
would treat the negro with the same
kindliness which they bestowed on
them during the days when the black
man was in slavery.
