BIG STICK AND STEAM ROLLER
IN DECISIVE CLASH TODAY

Chicago, June 1S.-With every seat
in the big Coliseum occupied, with
thousands OF others clamoriny for ad-
mission, and with the streets filed
with shouting. parading and wildly en-
thusiastic men, the republican ma
tional convention was formally open
ed at noon today.
Only the routine business of the
Organization of the convention, as es-
tablished by precedent, is on the pro-
gram for today, but it is likely that
before the day is over the supremacy
of one or the other of the candidates
will be finally and definitely estab-
lished. The steam rolelr and the big
stick have come to the point Of de-
cisive clash, compared with which the
meeting of an irresistible force and an
immovable body will be as nothing.
The arrangements of the Coliseum
are better than ever before. The 500
active newspaper men gathered here
from every part OF the country, and
not few representing Canadian, Lon
don and Paris papers, occupy two
stands abutting on either side of the
platform, and elaborate arrangements
have been made for the speedy dis
semination of news. The telegraph in
struments are in the basement and are
manned by a small army of the best
key Founders in the world.
Within few minutes after the CALI
| ing of the convention TO order it was
evident that he acoustic properties Of
the hall had been made perfect, and
every person in the vast assemblage
could hear the words of the speaker.
The arrangements include an emer-
gency hall in the basement, with doc
tors and nurses ready to give first aid
to the injured, as well as rest rooms
for women, a restaurant and a soft
drink room Those whose thirst de-

their identity.
Numerous prominent persons were
unable to get into the hall for lack OF
tickets.

Charles p. Taft Told Delegates to
"Sit Firm in Boat"

Charles p. Taft, brother of Presi-
dent Taft, visited the Texas delegates
and asked them to ''sit firm in the
boat" He visited other delegations
and asked them not to be affected by
Roosevelt cheers.
Just before the convention opened
the hall was a veritable babble. Eff
forts to secure order were interrupted
by the carrying of a large LaFollette
banner by Wisconsin delegates
through a side door. Cheers swept
the hall.
Senator Penrose said regarding the
move of the Roosevelt forces on the
temporary officers: 'It is nothing but
rot, and it will come to nothing" He
said such motion would not even
be entertained.

Governor Hadley appealed from the
chairman's decision.

Then he moved the temporary roll

Then each side was given twenty min

HadIey eristled with indignation,


Governor Hadley bristled with in
dignation as he spoke
Il assert" he said, that the Gues-
ton is whether the national commit
tee of the republican party has abso-
lutte power to form a temporary roll
for this convention which can only
be changed by the report from a COM
mittee of this convention, or whether
this convention itself shall say who
shall sit in ii. If it is in the power of
twenty-seven men to say who shall sit
in this convention arbitrarily and
without appeal, then we have reached
the end of representative government
in this country"
Governor Fort, upholding Governor
Hadley, declared the convention today
is making a precedent for all time as
to whether or not the convention shall
control its personnel.
"Shall this convention sustain the
national committee" shouted Gov
ernor Fort. Loud and long cries of
"No!" responded from all sides of
the hall This was the first indication
of the conventions mood on the ques-
tion now pending. IF not, it might be
too late" concluded Governor Fort,
amid cheers.
The action of Hadley and Fort in.
dicated the plan of several leaders,
announced two days ago, was being
carried out, apparently without regard
to the Roosevelt delegation last night
who voted to put in a resolution re-
quiring $40 uncontested votes to be
necessary to carry any proposition.
