Roosevelt in Circulation.

Chicago, June 24-"To obtain an
honest expression from the people, !"
Major FL. b. Mcdowell, chairman OF
the Roosevelt executive committee of
Massachusetts, began the circulation
of a progressive pledge to be signed
by voters. 1t reads:
I'VE, the undersigned, denouncing
the fraud perpetrated by the national
convention, so called, of the Repub-
lican party, dedicate ourselves to pro-
gressive principles advocated and
maintained by Theodore Roosevelt,
the next president of the United
States"
Hundreds of the pledges were dis
tributed in the Hobbies of hotels, with
instructions that they be returned,
when signed, to the headquarters of
the Roosevelt national committee in
Chicago.
"Does this mean that you are advo-
eating the formation of a new party"
Colonel Mcdowell was asked.
81 would not make that direct state
ment," he replied 1T means that ]

tunity to nominate their choice"
1t was announced at the Roosevelt
headquarter. that the pledges would
be sent to all quarters of the United
States.

GREAT DISORDER
MARKS MEETING
Galleries Jeer as Taft Delegates
Are Seated by the
Convention.
STEAM ROLLER RUNS
AT EXCESSIVE SPEED
Chairman Root JOCularIy Admits
Fact, But Declares II
Is Necessary.

Chicago, June 24-The national Re
publican convention In its last hours
developed into a mere burlesque, with
the steam roller performing at its
best to a running accompaniment of
boots, jeers, Kisses and jokes.
Even the stern faced Senator Root
could not miss seeing the humor of
the situation and once he jocularly
ruled upon a point of order that the
steam roller was exceeding the speed
limit, with the reply that the point
was well taken, but that in the inter
est of haste it was necessary.
The reports from the committee on
credentials were taken up as they
came from that body and without de-
lay the majority reports seating the
Taft delegates were adopted.
When even the Washington cases,
on which it had been anticipated a
fight would be made, were handled in
the same unceremonious manner, the
atmosphere relaxed and the last re-
naming doubt that the session was a
joke disappeared.
The Roosevelt followers put up lit
tie resistance to the procedure, being
determined 10 abide by their program
to let the Taft machine proceed with
it's program and renominate the pres
ident as rapidly as possible.
Chairman Root ran the reports on
contests through easily and rapidly,
despite frequent outbursts of disorder.
He smiled pleasantly as he announced
the result of each viva voce vote.
The first report presented from the
committee on credentials dealt with
the Mississippi delegates at large. II

votes had not thus been cast and

"The convention as now composed
has no claim to represent the voters
of the Republican party. 1t represents
nothing but successful fraud In over
riding the will Of the rank and file OF
the party. Amy man nominated by the
convention as now constituted would
be merely the beneficiary of this sue
cessful fraud; 1t would be deeply dis
creditable to any man to accept the
conventions nomination under these
circumstances, any man thus accept
ing would have no claim to the sup
port of any Republican on party
grounds, and would have forfeited the
right to ask the support of any honest
man of any party on moral grounds.

In his statement Mr.. Young asserts
that he will be candidate along pro-
gressive lines and that he will indi-
cate his principles in a platform he
will give out shortly.
Mr.. Young says he does not care to
use the stereotyped excuse, II have
been forced into the gubernatorial
fight by my friends" He entered the
contest, he says, because he believes
his past experience and general knowl-
edge of state affairs have qualified
him to give useful service to the state

The Roosevelt people presented a
minority report but made no fight and
the Taft delegates were seated viva

Amid a chorus OF "toot, toot" and
"choo, choo" from the galleries the
report on the contest in the Second
district of Mississippi was read. The
report characterized the Roosevelt
contest as paper case"
There was no minority report and
the vote was taken without delay.
Chairman Root announced the seating
of the Taft delegates. The same pro-

Any Nomination Made by Such
aBOdy Necessarily Taint-
ed with Fraud.

Chicago. June 24.-After making
preliminary arrangements for the or
ganization of a new party Colonel
Roosevelt definitely severed his rela-
tions with the Republican national
convention.
In a statement setting forth his po-
sition in this regard he said that since
the convention has declined to remove
the delegates who he contends are
fraudulent he could not recognize its
authority.
He urged his delegates to refrain
from voting in the convention, al
though stating that in case they did
vote he could not free them from the
obligation to cast their ballots for him.
In his signed statement Colonel
Roosevelt says:
"A clear majority of the delegates
honestly elected to this convention
were chosen by the people to nominate
me. Under the direction and with the
encouragement of Mr.. Taft the major
fly of the national committee, by the
so called steam roller methods, and
with scandalous disregard of every
principle of elementary honesty and
decency, stole eighty or ninety dele
gates, putting on the temporary roll
call sufficient number of fraudulent
delegates TO defeat the legally ex-
pressed will of the people, and to sub
stitute a dishonest for an honest ma
jority.
THE convention has now declined
to purge the rolls of the fraudulent
delegates placed thereon by the de-
funct national committee; and the ma
lority which thus endorsed fraud was
