ROOSEVELT PARTY
RUNS CONVENTION
Victory Won After Long And Bitter
Fight For Each Inch Of Advantage
-Parmenter in the Chair.

Guthrie, Okla, March IA The
Roosevelt faction in the republican
state convention asserted itself at the
first opportunity Thursday afternoon,
but it was only after long and bitter
fight that the victory was won. The
convention hall was scene of tumult
when the state committee seated
twelve Taft delegations from counties
in which there were protests, in order
to form the roll for the temporary or
ganization.
Hostilities started even before the
announcement of the temporary organ
ization. Chancellor Bradford. of the
Methodist University of Oklahoma.
had trouble getting through with his
address of welcome. When he said
"The recall is dangerous dynamite and
let us be careful how We handle il"
an uproar began, the Roosevelt forces
putting on demonstration. When he
mentioned the names Of several prom
inent republicans and failed to men,
ton that of Colonel Roosevelt, was an
other season of pandemonium and
there were cries of Shut up!" and
"Sit down." from the crowd, The
chancellor finished his address with
difficulty.
1t was after o'clock when the con-
vention got down to work.
Parmenter Selected.
The heavy fighting began when the
committee had seated the contesting
Taft delegations and recommended the
election of Frank Greer as temporary
chairman. The Roosevelt men refused
to accept Greer as chairman and nom
mated B. NJ. Parmenter of Lawton.
There was a bitter protest from the
Roosevelt forces against allowing the
delegations seated by the state com
mittee to take part in the temporary
organization and Rough Riders swarm
ed to the platform, where they sur
rounded State Chairman Jim Harris,
shouting their arguments against the
regular procedure.
For a time it looked like hopeless

of delegates to the national conven.
tion
Harris was firm, however. and when
a vote finally was taken, Parmenter
was elected temporary chairman, re-
ceiying 3S4 votes to 1874 for Greer.
The convention then started in on

keynote speech was followed by an
address by Greer
Twelve Counties Protested.
Things went smoothly after the fight

vention and, following the appoint

Der of prominent republicans were call
ed upon for speeches.
The voting strength of the twelve
delegations seated by the committee
for the temporary roll and Of Logan
county in which the Roosevelt factions
failed to file a contest, was 81.
The counties protested were Beck
ham, Bryan, Cherokee, Coal, Delaware
Greer. Johnston, Mcintosh, Pttsburg
Stephens, Tillman and Tulsa. 1t was
expected that there would be more
than twenty protests, and that the
Taft forces would secure control ol
the convention in this manner, but the
move never was carried out.

reported favorably on twelve Taft del

A number of Taft delegations were
seated to participate in the temporary
organization, owing to the fact that
contests had not been filed by Roose-
welt men and that protests against the
Roosevelt delegations had been made
by the Taft forces. The report Of the
subcommittee was adopted by the
state committee without even being
read and only in twelve counties was

Des Moines. June 1l.-That both the
Taft forces and the Roosevelt forces
have been flirting with the friends of
Senator Cummins with regard to the
slate for the national ticket has been
known some time. Recently two of the
Iowa delegates went to Chicago and
met Medill Mccormick and others
deep in the Roosevelt movement. They
Immediately preached the subject of
having Cummins go on the ticket with
Roosevelt as candidate for the second
place. The Iowa men gave them no.
tice to stop the talk at once. as Cum
minis would not consent to consider
any such scheme. And in Washington
Cummins himself was approached by
more recently the Taft men have con-
sidered him in connection with the
first place.
Cummins' Iowa delegates have been
informed that they must not give
countenance in any way to any talk
Of anything but first place.
The other day one Of the New York
delegates, banker Of Albany. man
very close to Mr.. Barnes. crossed Iowa
on his way to Denver. He fell in with
a well informed Iowa man, and con-
fided to him that the Taft people ex-
pected to nominate Cummins for vice
president.
I'VE must have him on the ticket.
the Albany man said. because he is
needed to carry the states of the Mis-
sissippi valley
couldn't Carry Iowa for Taft.
"Just put it all aside" he was in
formed. Neither Cummins nor any one
else could carry even Iowa for Taft
to say nothing of other states in this
part of the country: and more than
that, Senator Cummins will not lend
himself to any such scheme under any
circumstances"
The Albany man was surprised, said
that Mr. Barnes had different view
regretted that the eastern people did
not understand better the situation in
the west and promised to report on
some things.
He gave the impression, however
that while the national committee is
going to seat a great many Of the Taft
delegates 1t is not going to seat quite
enough to give Taft clear field. and
thus will tie up the convention and
give opportunity for arriving at an un-
derstanding.
