Wherever in any state the repub-

of its founders and is genuinely the
party of justice and of progress,
expect these to come bodily into the
new movement; for the convention

sense of the word republican con-

the masses of the republican party. 1t
was organized in cynical defiance OF
their wishes, and it has served the
purpose only of the troop of sinister
political bosses who have not one
shadow of sympathy with the spirit Of
the republican party of so years ago,
and many of whom serve the party
merely as an adjunct of money max.

great crooked field in which they
serve. The bosses, who have, stolen
enough delegates to enable them to
dominate this convention and they

Chairman Root ruled that where a.

Fosdick, delegate at large, arose and
demanding to know why discrimina-
ton was being practiced against Mass
lachussetts, claiming that delegates
| from other states had been allowed to
be recorded as not voting.
Chairman Root looked nettled for a
moment and then replied that no dis
elimination was to be tracticed against
Massachusetts, but that az certain
members of that delegation had not re
piled at all when their name was
!called he had ordered the name of the
alternates called. a practice which
would be continued throughout the
roll call.
Fosdick then inquired IL reply of

ficient by the chair and Root replied
that it would not.
Fosdick stood belligerently In the
aisles as the Massachusetts roll was
again called. VIM. Finn and Senator

the name OF the alternate, Frank

led Taft. RI appeal rom the decision

with rage, advancing down the aisle.
Root paid no attention to the white
haired delegate until he forced sus-
pension by his yells for an appeal,
when the chairman explained that an
appeal could not be taken until after
completion of the presidential ballot.
Il defy this convention to force me to
vote for any man. yelled Fosdick in
"a final note of defiance.
Root ordered that the votes re-
corded by alternates in the balloting
.on Massachusetts should be recorded
separately from those cast by the del
egates in order that If the conven
tons choice were overruled on this
appeal by Fosdick from his decision
