kellogg had his way and 1t was
agreed Heney would be gagged SO
far as the Hadley motion was CON
cerned.
The San Francisco graft prosecutor
is the California member OF the com

Root stood watching the delegates
leisurely taking their time finding
seats for about Ave minutes. Then

Hadley came on the platform from
the conference with his neutenants
with his program completed. He had
agreed to present the proposition Of
the Roosevelt men on the committee
aud also specifically to deal with the
Texas contests. Governor Uohnson
was to discuss the California contest:
George Record Of New Jersey, Art
zona and Indiana, and Heney and
Allen the other contests.
Governor Deneen was slated to
sum UP the case for the Roosevelt
men and also to ask that the Had

vote on California could be taken
first.
At 1929 the opening invocation was
delivered by Rabbi Joseph Stoltz OF
Chicago, the delegates and specta-

The prayer was long drawn out and
many OF the delegates seemed rest

the matter before this convention. We
chose the latter course and SO brine

We hold that there are seyenty

uon OF the national committee. This
question affects not only the next con.
vention, but also the very existence OF
tne republican party itself. Hadley
men reviewed the Roosevelt meeting
OF last Monday night and repeated
