The Fourth Texas district consists
Of 6ve counties. each having one vote

tested delega ton. and that one was for
Taft. The other four counties sent
contes1ng delegations The contest
ing delegations appeared before the
congressional executive committee to
present their claims. but the commit
tee arbitrarily refused to hear any
body. Having exhausted every effort
to secure hearing, the four contest
ing deIega lions. together with the only
ton, withdrew to another place and
held a convention and elected Taft
delegates to the Chicago convention
The congressional convention which
elected the Taft delegates was com
posed Of more than majority. and.
indeed, OF practically all the regularly
elected delegates The national com.
mittee held the title of the Taft dele
gates to their seats valid by viva voce
vote without calling for a division.
Fifth District.
The Fifth district Of Texas Is COM
posed of Dallas, Ellis, Hill, BosQue
and Rockwall counties. Dallas county
cast more Republican votes than all
the other counties OF the district put
together The call for the congress
siOnal conven ion allowed each county
to send not to exceed four delega tes.
but made no reference to the basis of
ties composing the district There
was a contest from Dallas county, but
the Taft delegates we're seated. Taft
delegates were seated on the temporary
roll from two counties. and Roosevelt
delegates from the three counties. and
the representa- ton In the convention
was fixed at one vote for each county
without regard to the number Of dele
gates In the convention or the mum.
Der OF Republican votes cast in such
county. A minority report Of the dis.
trict committee was presented, protest
ing against the ratio Of representa-
ton adopted. The chairman OF the
convention objected to the presenta-
tion OF this minority report Failing
In this he abandoned the platform and
left the hall
The convention thereupon elected a
new chairman and new secretary. ap-
pointed a committee on credentials.
which recommended the sea ting Of the
Taft delegates from Hill county and
the adoption Of the minority report Of
the district committee as to the basis
of the representation In the convention
Both these recommendations were
adopted. and Taft delegates to the ma
Gonal convention were thereupon elect
% by vote Of eight to three. The
Roosevelt men thereafter retired to the
south end Of the hall. where they or
ganized a meeting at which 1t was
claimed the Roosevelt delegates to the
national convention were elected. The
Republican vote for the district for
1908 was as follows: Dallas couutV-

6svsnth District.
The Seventh congressional district Of
Texas is composed Of the following
counties: Anderson. Chambers. Gal
weston, Houston. Liberty, Polk. San Ja-
cinto and Trinity. Polk. San Jacinto
and Trinity were without proper party
organization. In Texas county chair
men must be elected by the voters In
each party. No such election was held
In any Of these three counties. In two
Of them Colonel Lyon assumed to ap-
point chairmen, which he had no right
to do. Lyon himself had classed these
three counties as unorganized and with
out party organization.
The convention met in Galveston.
The executive committee met prior to
the meeting Of the convention to make
up the temporary roll Of delegates. The
executive committee had before 1t the
question Of having the three morgan
ICED counties represented in the con-
ventior. The executive committee re-
fused to recognize them When this
action was taken by the executive COM
mittee a delegate from Houston county
and the alleged representatives from
the three unorganized counties with
drew from the meeting and proceeded
to organize another convention. ana
upon this is based the contest, which,
was rejected by both committees. theI
national committee and the credenttalsl
committee.
Eighth District.
In the Eighth congressional conven-
don a split occurred over the majority
and minority reports of the executive
committee as to the temporary roll.
The, Roosevelt followers controlled the
executive committee. but did not have
q majority in the convention. which
adopted the minority report and gave
Taft Ave and one-half votes and RoOse-
welt two and one-haIf votes. This re-
suited In the election Of the Taft dele
gates, who were seated by both the
national committee and the credentials

In the Ninth district the district

CALIFORNIA.
Fourth District.
The Fourth California presented this
question: Under the state law the dele.
cation. two from each district, was
elected on a general ticket. in a gronp
Of twenty-six, Each delegate might
either express bis presidential prefer.
ence or agree to vote for the presiden.
tial candidate receiving the highest
number IN the state. In the Fourth
district the two candidates from that
district on the Taft ticket expressed
q preference for Taft. but did not
agree to vote for the candidates haV.
ing the highest state vote. These Taft
delegates In the Fourth district re-
ceived q majority Of 200 more than
the Roosevelt delegates IN that dis.
trict The national call forbade any
law or. the acceptance OF any law
which prevented the election Of dele.
gates by districts. In other words. the
call of the national convention was at
variance with the state law. The state
law sought to enforce the state unit
rule and required the whole twenty
six delegates to be voted for all over
the state. assigning two to each dis.
trict on the ticket to abide the state
wide election. while the Republican
national convention has insisted upon
the unit of the district since 1880. That
has been the party law This conVen.
tton recognized the party law and held
II to be more binding than that Of the
state law and allowed the two dele
gates who had received In the Fourth
district a vote larger than their two
opponents assigned to that district, TO
become delegates In the convention.
This was clearly Ia wful. for state has
90 power to limit or control the basis
Of representa- ton Of a voluntary ma.
tional party IN national convention.
The fact that President Taft by tele-
gram approved all the twenty six dele.
gates as representing him Is said to be
an estoppel against his claiming the
election Of two Of those delegates In
their Fourth district What Is there
Inconsistent In his approving the. can,

election of two Of them7 Why should
be be thus estopped to claim that part
of the law was imperative because in

In the Thirteenth Indiana there was

uon. Assuming tnat ali the committee
who went ont with him had the right
to act on the committee. 1t left the
committee standing twelve for Taft
and seven for Roosevelt. so it was sim.
ply a question whether a majority Of
the committee had the right to control
its action or a minority. The bolting
convention which Cochran held was
not attended by a majority Of the duly
elected delegates to the convention. 1t
did not have the credentials from the
various counties, and its membership
was largely made up Of bystanders
who had not been duly accredited by
any county In the district, Its action
was entirely without authority.

OKLAHOMA.
Third District.

In the Third Oklahoma district the
question Of the validity Of the seats of
the delegates turned on the constitu-
tion Of the congressional committee,
which was made up of twelve Taft
men and seven Roosevelt men. The
chairman, Cochran. was a Roosevelt
man and attempted to prevent the ma
Jority OF the committee from taking
action. The chairman was removed
and another substituted, and thereupon
the convention was duly called to order
on the temporary roll prepared by the
congressional committee. which was
made the permanent roll. and the two
Taft delegates to Chicago were duly
selected Every county in the district
had its representation and vote In the
regular convention. and no person
properly accredited as q delegate was
excluded or debarred from ,partieipat.
