the political history of California

the rule Of corrupt machine, con

that the speaker should confine him

Chicago, June 2t.-The Taft

convention today further demon.
strated their control of the body
The convention took up, piece-meal
the contests from many states and
in each instance the Taft delegates
were declared entitled to their
seats by maiorities ranging from a
high-water Taft vote of sos to AGA,
down to the narrow margin of 542
to 529
The latter vote was in the Cali
fcrnia case, in which the convention
rule for the selection of delegates
by congressional districts came into
conflict with the state primary law,
providing for statewide vote Oh
all delegates.
Through this technicality the
Taft forces claimed the two dele
gates from the Fourth district. The
scase was bitterly fought and the
voting was followed with thd great
est interest, especially when 1t was
seen that the Taft people we're los

been with them in other contests.

sober reflection on the part of his
close advisers, the plan for con-

lie let it be known, today how
ever, that he did not regard such
an idea as entirely practicable.
Should the nomination ibe offered
to him under such circumstances 1t
is not his intention to decline, but
he believes the wiser course Is to
defer final action along such lines
for a few weeks.
This idea, as explained today. Is
that his supporters shall return TO
their homes and learn the senti-

month or six weeks later, should
conditions warrant, his leaders from
the different states will assemble to
determine whether there exists IA

Col Roosevelt tonight said he
would adhere to the course which he
has mapped out, regardless Of
what the Roosevelt delegates TO the

taken a position apart from the
struggle with the idea that SO long
as the seventy eight delegates,

The eX-President says he needs
no sympathy and NO matter what
the outcome may be, the fight, he
says, has been one worth making,
win or lose, and his own position
cannot be changed by the outcome.
There is a division of opinion
among the Roosevelt leaders ais to
what part of his following will
stand by him to the extent of sew
erlng tho tie with their old party.
Col Roosevelts belief, as stated by
his friends, is that although a COM

step with him, majority of them
will do SO.
