Hadley he ordered the third party
maneuvers lest he lose his followers.
If he had the evidence to prove
that Taft could not be honestly and
fairly nominated, why did he not di-
rect his lieutenants to present that evi-
dence to the. national committee, and
then to the convention and the coun-
try so clearly that the convention
would not have dared to nominate
Taft, and that Taft could not, in hon

THE reason is obvious. An analy.
sis of the testimony WILL | am con.
vinced show that neither Taft MOI
Roosevelt had a majority of honestly
or regularly elected delegates.
This explains the extraordinary
conduct of Roosevelt He could moi
enter upon an analysis of the evi

ularly elected delegates in the minor
Iity, without inevitably subjecting his
own spuriously credentialed delegate!
to an examination so critical as woult
expose the falsity of his own conten

majority of the delegates. He there

thing, to cry fraud, to bully the nation

"That this is the true psycholog,
of the Roosevelt proceedings become
perfectly plain. He was there to forc'
his own nomination or to smash tn,

serve the integrity of the Republican
party, and make it an instrument fo
the promotion of Progressive princi
pies and the restoration of govern
ment to the people"
