UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn,l

Coliseum, Chicago, June 2l.--Con-
elusive proof that the Taft followers
have the votes to seat all Of their
contested delegates in the Republi-
can convention was furnished today
when 6O5 delegates voted to seat the
Taft delegates in the ninth Alabama
district. This was the first district
that Colonel Roosevelt declared was
stolen from him, and the unusually
high vote greatly pleased the TAFT
men.
After the vote in the Alabama case
was announced the leaders Of the
Roosevelt forces held a conference to
determine whether 1t would put into
effect the non-partlclpatlng program
adopted by them, The settlement Of
the Alabama cases came after wearl-
some parliamentary maneuvering, in
which two record roll calls were
forced.
The Taft machine held throughout.
The second case on which the is
sues we're Joined was the Arizona
contest
Every effort is being made by tho
convention leaders to force things
through so that final adjournment
may be reached, II possible, by TO-
morrow night
Most OF the conservative leaders
today declared that they felt certain
that President Taft would be the
nominee.
William Barnes, Jr.. the New York
leader. whose loyalty to the presl
dent Of the United States had been
questioned said at 2:45:
81 am satisfied that Mr. Taft will
be nominated. New York is now sat
lsfied, as It was generally accepted
that II New York landed the nomlna

mand that vice-Prosident Sherman

AT The close Of the initiation oi tho

drum corps and Sons Of Veterans as
a guard OF honor, and the long coll

the crowds that lined the streets
The long labors Of the enoampment
were All over, and all enjoyed getting
out and stretching their legs and giv-
ing a few OF the old-tlmo yells. It
was a fitting conclusion OF the big
gest encampment Of the patriotic or
ders ever held in the state Of Oregon.
All were enthusiastic over the treat-
men received at the hands Of tho

no pushing at all TO have got a reso-

AS the roll call on the question of
tabling the Hadley motion to substi-
tute the minority report for the ma
jority report progressed 1t was plain
that 1t would carry, a progressive
state cast its vote with the Taft men.
The Idaho result caused a suspen-
sion for a few minutes, while the
Taft men cheered and yelled, But it
was only a flash in the pan to what
the excitement was when Wisconsin
voted 15 ayes, with one delegate abb
sent.
Wisconsin's committeeman had vot-
ed with the majority in this case.
AS on the first roll calA there was
another call for the absentees on de-
mand from the floor, and the vote Was
finally announced: Ayes COS, noes
464 not voting g.
The announcement that the Taft
strength, so far as the organization
Of the convention was concerned, had
passed the 600 mark, resulted In. a
wild cheering episode.

Root then put the question OF adop-
tion Of the majority report seating the
Taft delegates in the ninth Alabama
district, and It was declared carried
by viva yoce vote.
Root then announced that a further
report on another contest would be
ready in few minutes. He instruct
ed Clerk Gleason to tell the dele
gates and the galleries through his
megaphone, that meanwhile the con-
vention will rest arms"
This, the first joke of the session
from the dignifled senator, brought
roar Of laughter from both camps.
The majority report in the Arizona
case recomrs ended the seating Of the
Taft delegates at large. This was
another case that hinged entirely on
technicalitles, and wsether the state
convention was regular or not, and
the majority aud minority reports
wem applications Of the statements
made by the two factions when the
national committee decided in the

submlt Minority ReporL

The minority report was submitted
by Delegate Mccormick, Of the nii-
nois delegation who said that he
asked for time to prepare a minority
report, but that the time furnished
him and his associates had bean In
adequate. He said that for tho
Roosevelt minority he merely pre-
scented dissenting opinion, and re-
served tho right to submit the facts
In the case later.
Root said that, while there could
not strictly speaking, be such
thing as a minority report. an express
sion Of the views Of the minority
could always be expected"
The Roosevelt delegates started to

table with his gavel and finished his
sentence. first suggesting that II

Chicago. June 21.-Reductlon Of
the representation of the delegates
from the southern states is the rock
a lively contest in the con-
vention. A minority report Of the
rules committee was being prepared
today greatly to reduce the number
Of delegates from the solid South"
Baslng apportionment Of the dele
gates upon the number Of votes cast
at the preceding general election is
the minority suggestion, a renewal
Of plan discussed generally for the
last 10 years. They propose to allow
one delegate for each 10000 Republl-
can votes cast. This would cut Texas
representation, for instance from 40
to 6. The Roosevelt members Of the
rules committee are lined up for the
amendment.
Another radical change in the
rules, suggested by the minority, Is a
declaration for Estates rights" In
naming national committeeman, a
plan to give each state authority to
elect It's committeeman In any way Il
may elect.
The most drastic change in the
rules as agreed to by both the major
lty and minority Is that giving the
national committee power to re-
move from that body any committee
man who refuses to support the nom.
inee Of the party
The Taft men refused to permit
the Roosevelt forces to get any sup
port from the women OF the country
that is denied to them and they
have adopted a plank which puts The
party on record as favoring the de-
clsions by the voters Of every state
on the question Of whether they want
woman suffrage or not
The plank Of the subcommittee
provides that the question shall b.
