teeman from Kendall county. VINO was
dead. and the proxies from three other
counties were held. two by postmas-
tiers and one by an assistant postmas-
ter, while under the election law Of
Texas no one who holds an office of
profit or trust under the United States
shall act as a member OF an executive
committee either for the state or for
any district or county. The temporary
roll was made up by Taft members,
having a clear majority without per-
hitting these men to act under their
proxies. There was contest over the
delegation from Bexar county, which
contains the city OF San Antonio. Full
consideration was given to this contest.
but the testimony was overwhelming
that Taft carried the county by vote
OF four or five TO one. On the proper
basis the total vote In the district con-
vention was sixty Of which the
number instructed or voting for Taft
was thirty-seven and one-half, the
number voting or Instructed for Roose-
welt twenty eight and one-half, not vot-
ing one. The Taft delegation was
therefore seated at Chicago.
CONCLUSION.
The purpose OF this resume Of the
contests In which there was any shad-
ow OF substance has been to inform
those who have not time or inclination
to read the longer and more detailed
account OF them contained In the larger
pamphlet. 1t is not essential to make
Mr.. Taft's title indisputable that all
men agree on every one Of the issues
raised. They were decided by the tri-
bunals which uniform party usage had
made the proper tribunals to decide
such contests. II those tribunals acted
In good faith mistaken Judgment would
not inyalidate their decisions, As
matter of fact. an examination OF the
facts show that the tribunals were
right in every instance There is not
the slightest evidence that they were
moved by other than a mere desire TO
reach a right conclusion. On the other
hand, the action Of the Roosevelt men
In bringing 100 contests that they
promptly abandoned strongly tended
to show the lack Of good faith in the
prosecution of all OF them. Those who
support President Taft can well AFFORD
to stand on the record in this case and
to asseverate without fear Of success
full contradiction that the delegates
whose seats were contested were as
fairly seated In this convention as In
any in the history Of the party.

Second District.

In the Second Texas district there
were fourteen counties. Two counties
were found not to have held conven.
lions and one county to have no dele
gate present The convention was
then constituted by the delegations
that held regular credentials. The re
port OF the committee on credentials
was accepted upon roll call, and then
the representatives of five counties
withdrew from the hall. The repre-
sentatives OF four OF these counties
held a rump convention. The regular
convention remained in session several
hours, appointed the usual committees,
which retired and made their reports,
which were accepted. and elected two
Taft delegates to the national conven-
ton and certified their election in due
form to the national committee, which
without division asked for, held them
properly elected.

Third District.
In the Third Oklahoma district the
question of the validity of the seats of
the delegates turned on the constitu-
ton 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
1ority 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 delegate was
excluded or debarred from participant
ing in Its proceedings. Cochran and
his followers bolted after his deposit
ton. Assuming that all the committee
who went out with him had the right
to act on the committee. II left the
committee standing twelve for Taft
and seven for Roosevelt, so II was sim
ply q question whether a ma jority OF
the committee had the right to control
its action or a minority. The boiling
convention which Cochran held was
not attended by majority OF the duly
elected delegates to the convention. II
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.

In the Second Tennessee district
there were ffty-nine delegates uncon-
tested out OF a possible total of 108 in
the convention. There were forty nine
contested. The Roosevelt contestants
In the forty-nine refused to abide the
decision of the committee on creden-
tials and withdrew, leaving ifty-nine
uncontested delegates. These fifty

select Taft delegates. There can be

Fourteenth District.

In the Fourteenth district there were
fifteen counties in the district. When
the executive committee met at San
Antonio to make up the temporary roll
there were ten members of the com
mittee present whose right to act was
undisputed, Of whom six were for Taft
and four for Roosevelt. There were
four other Roosevelt men present
whose right to vote was disputed and
who were clearly not entitled to repre-
sent their county at that meeting. One
