its delivery, Rosewater kept a close
eye on the minister and the body of
delegates.
The prayer of Father Callaghan
was as follows:
In the name OF the Father, and
of the Son, and. of the Holy Ghost,
amen.
'Oh, Almighty Eternal and ALL
Wise God, direct all our actions by
Thy holy inspiration, so that every
prayer and every word of ours may
always begin from Thee and by Thee
be happily ended, through Jesus
Christ, our Lord Who taught us to
pray:
Our Father. Who art in Heaven,
hallowed be- 1he name. Thy king
dom come. Thy win be done on
earth as it is in Heaven Give us
this day our daily bread, and forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us; and lead
us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil. Amen.
In the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,
amen"
Secretary Hayward of the national
committee then read the call for the
convention.
The moment the reading of the
call was concluded, Governor Had
ley was on his feet.
Governor Hadley of Missouri, the
floor leader of the Roosevelt forces,
rises to question of information.
He takes the platform amid great
cheering.
Watson of Indiana, Taft leader,
follows 10 the Mat form
Barnes of New York rises to a
point of order.
Governor Hadley asks whether the
temporary roll has been prepared.
|. Watson rises to a point of order
that no business is in order until the
convention is organized There is
loud cheering
The chairman states that under
the rules Watson's point is well TAX
en-.
Hadley says that he is asking for
information only. He then moves
that the. temporary roll be amended
by removing the names of certain
delegates and the substitution of 9TH
ers.
The point of order raised by Wat
son is sustained by the chair; but
Chairman Rosewater gives Hadley
20 minutes to state his case
Former Governor Fort of New Jer-
sey and Governor Deneen of Illinois
are called to the platform.
Hadley takes the floor in support
of his motion.
The convention is maintaining ex-
celient order.
There is brief consultation on
the stage. Then Hadley steps to the
front of the stage and begins his ar
gument.
The plan of the Roosevelt leaders,
which was announced two days ago,
is being carried out apparently with
out regard to the action of the Roose-
welt delegates last night, who start
ed to put in resolution requiring
$40 uncontested affirmative votes to
carry any proposition.
Governor Hadley briefly again an
nounced his motion, in spite of the
fact that Rosewater had ruled that
point of order taken against the
motion seemed to be well taken.
Instead OF following the illustri-
Gus example of our distinguished
leader, William Mckinley, when he
presided in convention and invited
a full debate and consideration of a

has asked only for a brief statement
from each side,' says Governor Had
ley.
I'VE cannot sit and close our ears
to what the American people are
saying today" continues the COVER
nor, and wild cheering breaks in up
on his speech.
"The integrity of this temporary
roll has been challenged by fifteen
men on the national committee whose
signatures l have in my pocket, say
ing that 80 names on that roll are
of delegates not honestly elected by
the republican voters of their respec-
tive states and territories. So long
