GOEN THINKS TEDDY
WILL Be WINNER.
Ell Paso Delegates Return
From Chicago, Where
They Were Steam
rOllered.

Nassaged by the machines steam roll
Ter al Chicago, the FL Paso delegation
to the Republican national convention
returned Tuesday afternoon, sore but
smiling. u S. Stewart, the regularly
appointed delegate from the 10th con-
gressiOnal district in western Texas,
who failed to get a vote or seat, y:
S. GOen, alternate delegate at large ana
0. H. Baum, also a delegate, comprised
the Republican home corners. Admit
ting that they were steam rollered and
that they never had chance, the Fl
PasO delegates laugh over their expert
ences at Chicago and are all good ma
tured in their criticism of the RepuD-
lean national committee in counting
out the Texas delegation
We never had a look-In, L. )
GOen said Taft was entitled to SIX
delegates from Texas ana ne got
81. Had those stolen delegates been

was the only justification Tor voting
the regular Texas delegation out of the
convention. When 7. J. Devine, Of Colo
RADIO, attempted to argue the case for
the Taft organization his whole plea
was that Cecil Lyon had held paper
Gregor did not have claim, not even
a paper delegation, yet his delegates
were seated as the regular delegates
and the regularly selected ones thrown

we did have at Chicago except a big
time and a lot of fun"
Roosevelt Far From Dead.
Roosevelt is not a dead one by any
means, the Republican county chair
man says. He is stronger than ever and
will poll a big vote in November. To
hear those midnight speeches he made
enough to convince anyone of his great
sincerity said GOen. He is honest and
sincere in his fight for what he be-
Heves IS right and he has a big follow
ing. There were 500 delegates at the
Roosevelt meeting late Saturday night
and the western states and the north
western states are for him TO a man.
If the Democrats nominate a reaction
airy, and Clark is considered as such,
Roosevelt will be elected believe. over
both Taft and Clark. Such states as
Kansas, California and Washington in
the west and northwest are for ROose-
Velt and they will be for him when the
votes are counted in November. Texas,
although a Democratic state, is strong
for Roosevelt and will give him strong
1T was the New York crowd that
controlled the Chicago convention, and
Barnes was in the saddle for the east
erners. I believe that practically the
same New YORK crowd viii at
tempt to control the Baltimore
convention and have two presi-
Dental candidates. They will not
then care which one is elected. But look
out for Roosevelt He is a winner and
he is going to make a great fight for
the presidency
Chairman Goen returned with a copy
of the call for a Texas state cOnYen-
ton to be held in Dallas on July 9, to
select delegates to the Roosevelt con-
ventiOn which is to be held later at the
call of the committee appointed at Chi
cagO. The call is signed by all Of the
Roosevelt delegation to Chicago, in
Guiding the FL PasO delegation.
