SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS

Chicago.-When the chairman's gay ed crashed it's summons to delegates in the Republican national conven- ton to the second days session the thousands of spectators realized they were about to witness stirring scenes that would lead up to the crisis In the struggle for party leadership
 The first development was the de- elaration of Taft leaders that there would be no compromise of any scrt. Then came the assertions of Gov. Had ley. floor leader of the Roosevelt forces, that he would not sanction a bolt under any circumstances. Gov Deenen backed up Hadley in the as. sertion. Persons who have been ready 10 believe that Roosevelt would not hesitate to bolt were willing to specu. late as to whether this might indi- cate mutiny on the Roosevelt ship.
 The unfinished business taken up was Hadley's demand for elimination of % contested delegates from the temporary roll
 Chairman Root announced that an agreement had been reached between Watson and Hadley that three hours of debate equally divided be admitted
 Gov. Hadley, for Roosevelt, opened the debate
 He reviewed the events leading up

 T hope you will refuse any longer to recognize a majority thus composed as having any title in law or morals to be called a Republican convention. We have by fair means elected a clear majority of the delegates, and I hope that you will not permit our opponents. having failed by fair means, to beat you by foul means and swindle the people out of the victory that they have won.
 If you are voted down, hope you. the real and lawful majority of the convention. will organize as such, and you will do it if you have the courage .and loyalty of your convictions. Let's find out whether the Republican party is still the party of the people of the United States or the party of the bosses and the professional politicians acting in the interests of special priv ilege
 If you want my advice. I would advise that you place no further trust: would advise that you waste no fur ther time. l would advise that you do not permit yourself 10 be committed T~fb fbfar~ further association with these men, so long as they retain control of the Re publican convention by means of majority composed in an essential part of fradulently seated delegates who haven't the sligtest right or title 10 represent the rank and file of the Republican party, and are without the slightest right of title to seats in the Republican convention.

delegates should vote on the member ship of the committee on credentials or on it's report. MT. Watson moved to table the motion Of Gov Deneen.
 The motion Is not debatable Are you ready for the question: called Senator Root.
 William Film demanded a roil call on the motion to table, and it was or dered.
 The roll was to furnish the second test of the convention, and caused much excitement
 Alabama led off with 9 ayes and 5 noes. Arizona followed with s ayes Arkansas vote of r ayes and no. announced by the chairman. was chal- lenged, and the delegation was boiled It showed 1G ayes, l no, l not voting
 When it was anhuonced that the Taft motion had been carried by vote of 564 to 510. the Taft forces broke into a cheer.
 Prior to announcing the vote. Chair man Root said Governor Hadley had made points of order against the S2 contested delegates voting. and he had fully considered the matter during the calling of the roll. He overruled all the points
 "No man." said Senator Root can be permitted to vote on the question of his own right to seat. when 1t is question of doubt, but this does not disqalify any delegate on the roll of the convention from voting on another mans right to a seat, or from parti- eipating in other regular business of the convention.
 otherwise. any minority could SC cure control of a deliberatiye body by grouping a sufficient number of their opponents on one motion to give them control of the unoontested dele gates"
 The Roosevelt forces made no fur ther move Senator Root then put the motion of Mr. Watson. that the stand ing committees he aprointed. It was adopted withou. objection. The names were ready. sent in by the state can .eusses. were not objected 10. and the. committees were announced.

 "I did not want 10 give you any advice. as preferred to let you de eide what to do, but am going to give you my advice.
 Gov Deneen introduced a very moderate resolution in dealing with the four fragrant steals Ii asked that the delegates from California, Wash ington, Texas and Arizona should be permitted to vote and that the states stolen bodily, Washington, Arizona and Texas, should not put their represen- tatives on the credentials committed That motion was voted down by sub stantially the same vote that elected Root over McGoYern. In each ease the majority was a majority only be cause the votes of the fraudulently seated delegates were counted.
 MT Root received 70 or 80 stolen votes, continued Alr Roosevelt. "AIr Deneen's resolution was beaten by fraudulent votes, which in that resolu- tion were named by the votes of Tex as. Arizona, Washington and the two fraudulent votes of California. If those votes had been changed, the resolu tion would have been carried.

 As far as l am concerned. I am through. l hope that when you go back to the convention hall you will at once introduce a resolution that not one of those fradulently seated dele gates shall vote on any question in the credentials committee or in the convention.
 Don't lie down if they beat you by fraudulent votes There is no use in voting to cut out the fraudulent votes and then being beaten by the fradu- lent votes, and say you are very sorry.

OUR FIRST DEMOCRAT
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

Connecticut adopted a written cOnsti-
tuition which marked the beginnings Of
American democracy:
1T IS worthy Of note remarks
Fiske, that this document contains
none Of the conventional references to
a dread sovereign or a gracious king,
nor the slightest allUsiOn to the Brit
ish or any other government outside
of Connecticut, nor does it prescribe
any condition of church membership
for the right of suffrage"
In 1862 a royal charter was obtained
that embodied all the principles that
Hooker advocated in his great sermon
and that were laid down in the Con-
necticut constitution. It was this
charter. it will be remembered, that
cid governor Andres unsuccessfully at
tempted to take from the people Of
Hartford in 1857
It was in Connection with a later at
tempt to take away this charter that
Capt. WadswOrth had his interesting
Fletcher, standing at the head Of the
militia, which he had called out, be-
gan to read the royal commission,
when WadswOrth ordered the drums
to be beaten. Fletcher commanded
silence and began again. Drum!
drumr' ordered WadsWorth. Si-
lcencew shouted the governor. Drum!
drum, damn itr' repeated the captain,
and then, turning to Fletcher, he
added in stentOrian tones, If am
interrupted again III make daylight
through you"
It was the spirit of the Rev. Thomas
Hooker at WOrk-the spirit which was
to ring out to the world in the tones
of the old Liberty Bell" exactly 40
years from the day on which Hooker
and his congregation reached Hart
ford.

TT was 276 years agO-July- 4. 1856
that the Rev. Thomas Hooker and
\ his Newtown congregation, Of
some hundred souls, with $50 cattle,
and several wagons bearing their hum
BILE household effects, pulled into
Hartford, Conn.
They did not go to a hDte-. for the
simple reason that there was none IN
the place. Hartford had been settled
only about IS months, and its archi-
old beehive-shaped church, a little old
log town half and a dozen or so
very rude shanties.
But beginning with that Fourth of
July. Hartford had the Rev. Thomas
Hooker, and that was more than any
other town or city on earth, whether
large or small, was able to boast At
that time there was but one Thomas
Hooker in the world
One day, before the emigration to
Connecticut, those famous Massachu-
sets worthless, Cotton and Winthrop,
said 10 Hooker that they did not be-
lieve that democracy was a fit form
Of government either for church or
state Hooker replied. In matters
which concern all, all should take a
part There was the original "Jeffer-
sonlan Democracy for you, proclaimed
for the first time on this continent.
In Hartford, at the opening session
of the general court, Hooker preached
powerful sermon in which he said:
IN the free consent of the people"
Never before had words like those
been thrown out upon the air Of the
western world
Acting out of the inspiration born
of Hooker's sermon, the freemen of
