Cruzen Says
Idaho Will Not
Join in Bolt

CHICAGO, June 21.-The Idaho delega-
ton advised Colonel Roosevelt today that
1t would not follow his suggestion of re-
naming silent in the convention and re-
frain from voting.
Alonzo R. Cruzen, chairman Of the dele
CATION, declared such action would be
practically boiling.
1--WE are not bolters," said Cruzen, but
republicans, and for us not to answer to
our names when the roll is called would
be simply bolting. l gave Colonel Roose-
vet to understand that Idaho's delegates
were thorough republicans and would
not follow any third party or candidate.
This is the end of Roosevelt politically
If he proposes to take up with the Hen
eys, Johnsons and the Forts.
'T have been disgusted with much OF
the anarchistic talk l have heard in many
of the Roosevelt caucuses; it is unpa-
triotic and unamerican."

New Reserves
the Coliseum for
Another Week

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The prospect of
the republican national convention ex-
tending into next week has become so
imminent from the proceedings thus far
that the committee ON arrangements of
the national committee took steps last
night to hold the Coliseum just as 1t
stands for such an emergency. o..
II have communicated with Stewart
Spalding, secretary Of the Coliseum COM
pany,p said Chairman Harry S. New of
the committee on arrangements, "and
have notified him that in conformity
with the terms of the lease the commit
tee wishes to reserve the Coliseum In its
present condition, with all the conven-
ton arrangements, for next week"
Mr.. New would make no comment on
how long he thought the convention hall
would be needed, but he decided no
chances would be taken.

say enormously, because their titles to
their seats were not involved in the
motion and Governor Hadley had pre-
viously conceded to me that If the reso-
luton were put to vote, 1t should be
decided by all persons whose names had
been placed on the temporary roll by the
national committee. ..-..
AS to a bolt, the time for that has
now passed. Delegates cannot In decency
walk out after they have participated
in the proceedings Of the convention for
three days. If there was to be justifica-
tion for a bolt, it had to Come the first
day, or at least on the first test vote
The plan for the Roosevelt delegates
to sit silent in their places has also been
given up. although they can hardly now
expect to accomplis any of the things
tey had declared to be prerequisite for
them to remain. While not authoratively
advised, 1t is plain that their plans are
all up in the air, and they are not sure
of what they are striving for.
How long will the convention last Is
now the most frequently propounded
question. Most Of the leaders with whom
talked feel that it will go over into
nexe week for Monday and possibly
Tuesday. A few expect that the curtain
may be rung down at the conclusion of
the night session tomorrow. A Sunday
session is out of the question, as a rea-
sonable showing of Sabbath observance
is sure to be made, no matter how much
scheming and wire pulling may be going
on in the various headquarters rooms.
Interest is so intense that the delegates
can without doubt be held, but many OF
the out-of town visitors will In that event
have hard time to make their pocket
books hold out If they want to stay to

Platform About .
Ready to Go Before
the Convention

CHICAGO, June 2.-When the resolu-
tions committee adjourned at Ii a. m. to
permit its members to attend the repub-
lican convention the platform virtually
was completed. The draft of the docu-
ment, read to the full membership, ap-
parently proved acceptable.
The members generally expressed salts
faction over the panks dealing with
monopoly and the courts.
The platform is more corcise tran those
of the recent past. 1t is especially note
worthy in that 1t does not deal with par
ticular measures. but rather with issues
in general. No direct reference by name
is made to any pending legislation. The
administration is commended and Presi
dent Taft is complimented for his "com-
prehensive, fair and vigorous dealing with
all issues The administrations of
Roosevelt and Mckinley also are ex-
tolled.
The committee will meet later in the
day to put the finishing touches on the
platform.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-(Special Telegram)
-Today's convention proceedings settled
definitely two things. 1t demonstrated
first that the regulars are in undisputed
control of a majority Of the delegates on
anything like a test vote. although the
margin is fairly close and little variable.
In the second place it punctured COM
pletely the talk of a bolt and disposed OF
the yelled threats that the Roosevelt foi-
lowers would refuse to participate further
in the proceedings if their demand for
the unseating of pretended tainted dele
gates was not complied with.
The convention, by roll call after roll
call, affirmed successive reports of the
committee on credentials, ratifying the
findings of the national committee in con-
test cases. On one of the roll calls the
vote went up to Cos and the lowest was
542, with six or eight not voting.
On the low vote, the Roosevelt people
had with them all the La Toilette and
Cummins strength and enough Taft men
to offset whatever losses they encoun-
tered where Taft men are under Roose-
welt instructions. Unless the lines are
broken, then, in a manner which can
not now be foreseen, Roosevelt Is out of
it so far as nomination at this con-
vention is concerned.
Before coming to the contests, Chair
man Root permitted another vote on the
resolution which Governor Hadley tried
to get in the first day while l was In
the chair, to rule out the seventy-odd
delegates against which the Rooseveltians
had made protest. This resolution was
offered in connection with the report on
the Alabama case and Chairman Root
ruled enormously, I believe, that the two
Alabama men could not vote on 1t.

Taft strength in the convention was unm-
paired while the Roosevelt forces lost ground at
every successive move. The actual time of the
vention taken up with the report of the creden-

Sixteen cases were reopened and heard by the
credentials committee, and in each the decision
of the national committee upheld. The other
cases, not reopened were decided by unanimous vote
of the credentials committee in favor of the Taft dele
gates. The reports to the convention made sub
ject to roll call. Governor Hadley undertook to
cure the adoption of resolution that would prevent
any contested delegate from voting the contests.

already ruled that no delegate could vote on his own

he would like the convention to pass on Governor
