Promulgation From Oyster Bay of a Second Protest Against the Way He Hears Things Are Going at Chicago
BOSSES ON ONE SIDE;
 PEOPLE ON OTHER
Sees in Course or the Ma tional Committee If Per sisted In, the Overwhelm- ing of the Party With Ruin
ASSOCIATED PRESS prspArCHl

OYSTER BAY, June 11.-With an attack upon his opponents in the re- publican national committee and on Taft. Roosevelt tonight protested against the course of affairs at Chica- go. In a statement he said that Taft assumed that the presidency is to be treated as a gift within the bestowal of the politicians in defiance of the duly expressed wish of the people"
 Such conduct" the colonel says "is dangerously near being treason to the whole spirit of our constitutions, to the whole spirit of democratic free gov ernment "
 The colonel laid especial stress on the committee seating the Taft dele gates from the Thirteenth district of Indiana notwithstanding the fact, he said that the Roosevelt men clearly were in the majority in the convention which was called to elect those two delegates
 Roose,relt's statement says in part: The question at Chicago becomes clearer with every vote in the national committee. It is simply, whether the people have right to nominate who ever they Wish TOT Iile nlBneSt olIlCS in their gift or whether, by deliberate theft and fraud, certain machine lead CTS acting in the interest of the special privileges are to be permitted to de- prive the people of this right"
 we are face to face iti the 4,ress ton whether the people shah rule the republican party or whether the party is to bn ruled by discredited bosses whom the people have repudiated. Who are the regulars. The great majority of the republican rank and file who have just overwhelmingly repudiated the bosses or the bosses who have just been overwhelmingly repudiated by the rank and file.
 The national committeeman like Penrose. Mulvane, Murphy and com pany have no claim to speak for the republican party and have no right to claim themselves as regular. They have just been repudiated by the republican party They have no wish for republl- can success"

FRIDAYS BLOWOUT
Roosevelt Leaders Plan a Spectacular
 Demonstration

CHICAGO, June 1.-The Roosevelt leaders announced tonight the details of the mass meeting on Friday after noon which will be staged in Chicago's largest theater as d spectacular pre- liminary to the opening of the na- tional convention next Tuesday.
 Congressman Kent of California is announcing the proposed demOnstra- ton said the principal addresses would be delivered by Judge Lindsay of Denver and Francis J. Heney Ot San Francisco. Probably Governor John son of California and Governor Stubbs of Kansas will speak.
 Developments today indicated that the fight between the Taft and ROose- welt forces in the sessions of the ma tional committee for contested seats was almost equaIed by the gumshoe campaign being made for uninstructed delegates.
 Both sides have decided to attempt to get possession of the balance of power through this source. Although many uninstructed delegates have been pledged by state leaders to Taft or Roosevelt, campaign managers privately have expressed their ability to secure block of fifty or more for either candidate.
 In case the decisions by the na- tional committee in the contest cases send Taft and Roosevelt into the con- vention on practically even basis the uninstructed men may determine the final outcome of the fight
 Mccormick of Chicago today was named by William Finn as chairman of the committee to direct the activi- ties of the Roosevelt delegates before and during the national convention.
 Cummins and LaFollette managers were busy today with plans for fur thering their candidates. A large Cummins demonstration will be held in Chicago on Saturday night. It is planned to bring a thousand or more Iowans into Chicago from Des Moines.
