opened from the moment the per.
roll containing the m
OF contested delegates was ap-
proved. A "valcdictory" state
ment vas read in behalf of Col.

be not presented and that his
delegates sit in mute protest
against all further proceedings.
A great majority OF the Roose
welt delegates, in the Illinois and
all in the Missouri and Idaho dele
cations declined to follow this adj
vice, but Col. R~ooseyelt's SWAY
over the delegates from CaIifor.
mia, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota,
Nebraska, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, and West Virginia
was all but absolute. Most
of the delegates from these
a announced their purpose OF
helping give Mr.. Roosevelt an in
dependent nomination at another
q later In the evening. Another
convention Occasioned no surprise.
1t was but a fulfillment of pre-
dictions that had been made dur
Ing the past several days.

ventiOn marked by cOunte
