the but" the cheering and jeering
broke out a fresh.
I'll support him. shouted Allen,
only on one condition, that this nomi-
nation is not accomplished by fraud
and corruption
Delegate Newcomb of New York
made a point Of order against further
! Interruptions of the speakers and
Chairman Root held it well taken. The
chairman made special plea for fair
play to the speaker.
Allen dealt in the figures in the
primary held in Seattle. He said Col.
Roosevelt got all but about 500 of the
5000 cast A delegate asked him how
many voters there were in Seattle. AL
len admitted there were more than
Zoe, 600.
Allen denounced the methods Of the
Washington state leaders at the state
conYentions, saying the conditions
were such that all Roosevelt men pos =
sibly were barred from the hall. He
| denounced the national committee as
unfair and prejudiced, and then took a
| final fling at the credentials commit
tee which as yet remained to be
named.
"They ask us" he said. why we
| don't wait for the committee on Gre
dentials to pass upon our case. I'll
answer by asking you why don't you
wait until your horse is stolen before
| you lock the door"
Senator Heminway Of Indiana spoke
against the Hadley motion. He made
cause for Taft by declaring that of the
| fourteen Roosevelt members of the ma
| tional committee who are protesting
| against the committees roll all but two
| had been retired from the committee
this year.
You are asked by mere minority
of the national committee TO overthrow
the work of the majority said Hem
inway. Thirteen members of the COM
mittee have signed this protest: thir-
| ty-nine have seated these delegates.
Now they ask you to uphold that min
| GRITTY without seeing the evidence;
without getting at the facts"
Heminway attacked the thirteen men
who signed the protest.
Why he shouted, would you leave
this matter to a man like T. c. Du-
Pont of Delaware. representative of
the powder trust?"
Heminway insisted that only thir-
teen members of the national commit
tee signed the protest, although Gov
ernor Hadley said that fourteen had
/ signed it.
Taking up the Texas case. Hemin-
way said that Cecil Lyon had con-
| trolled five thousand federal appoint
ments in Texas; that his word had
| been law, but this year the Republi-
cans of the other faction had sent a
| delegation, not of Cecil Lyons office
holders, but of Independent voters.
From the Pennsylvania delegation

Bending over and shaking his fist
in the faces of the delegation. Heuin-

| me Penrose before Flynn every time"
The Pennsylvanians went wild.
| Climbing upon their chairs and brand
/ ishing their fists they yelled epitnets
and vituperation at the speaker. Flynn
| himself took a prominent part in the
demonstration. Throughout the hall
| came yells and jeers and for few mo-
| ments tumult prevailed.
The disorder continued in the Penn
| sylvania delegation and Senator Root
came to the front of the stage and
/ pointing to Flynn shouted:
| IF the gentleman from Pennsylvania
4 wishes 70 commend his cause to the
| just and honest members of this con-

will cease to interfere with the deliv-

I'VE will have order in this conven-
