most prominently. That So OF its
delegates voted for the colonel was
due to state political conditions.
Pennsylvania created a diversion by
casting two votes for Justice Hughes.
In the mix-up Senator Cummins
grabbed off seven unexpected votes
from Idaho. And La Toilette also
benefited by the conditions, getting
five of South Dakota's votes, In addi-
ton to his &c from Wisconsin and 10
from North Dakota.
Enthusiasm Is Rather Mild.
If the truth must be told, the vic
tory of President Taft did not create
any wild enthusiasm in the Coliseum.
OF course, there was a lot of cheer
ing, and a banner bearing the picture
of the winner was carried through
the aisles, but no one followed 1t, and
the tired spectators at once began to
make their way out of the hall. Even
the delegates could not be kept In
their seats for the vote on Sunny
Jim" The reading clerks jumped
about like crazy men trying to catch
the vote in the midst of the din, and
nobody cared very much whether or
not they succeeded.
This purges the party OF most
disturbing element" said the Tart
men. soberly.
"This is the death of the good OLD
Republican party. Now for a new
party-a party of progress said the
defeated friends of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt.
Such Democrats as were present
said little. but looked joyful.
Taft Forces Win Every Point.
From the day when the national
committee met to begin the hearing
of contests, the Roosevelt forces
never won a point Of any moment
With all the machinery In their con
troll, the Taft men did not let go OF
anything that could endanger theii
cause in the least. An instance Of
their clever work was the way In
which the report of the committee or
credentials was submitted to the con
vention. It came in to the hall piece
meal, a state or a district at time
This enabled Chairman Root to make
the eminently fair ruling that the
delegates whose seats were involved
in each fragment of the report should
not vote on its adoption. 1t sound
ed good, but It was perfectly safe
On only one of these reports was the
Taft majority reduced TO a periloui
point. That was the California case
I considered one of the strongest
brought up by the Roosevelt men, anc
the Taft vote was 542, just two ovei
majority
On most of the reports the Roose
veit leaders did not demand a roll
call. First would come the commit
tee report. Then a minority report
