cases. without real DIVISION These contests never
listed available assets of the Roosevelt campaign.
1t rested on such limsy foundation The Roosevelt
strength resides in the great blocks of delegates from such
States Illinois, Pennsylvania California Nebraska Min
nesoa and on; delegates that come from the people,
that business that nobody will dare contest and that
give him, matter whatfhe national committee may do
just about the number of votes that Taft will be
able to count"
Such is the awful confession that The Times CORE
spondent made: That Senator Dixon had started some
contests which it not expected could be sustained be-
fore hostile national committee. If that admission is
the confession of something wicked-and Mr. Taft seems
to think it slet that be conceded But if it wicked
in 1912, the proceeding must have been wicked like
wise in 1908 Exactly the same thing was done in 1908;
and 1T WAS DONE BY THE VERY SAME MEN WHO
THIS YEAR MANAGED THE TAFT CAMPAIGN.
In 1908, in 1912 the machinery at the South was
for Taft The machines, composed of ofcehoders and
Bosses called their conventions early and elected poTaft
delegates. p....., -s# .~.E
In 1908, however, the big national bosses, at the
North, were AGAINST Taft Crane, PenroSe, Guggen-
helm, Cannon, Hemenway, Fairbanks, Keaing, Scott,
Adrich, Hale-all of that sort of people AGAINST
Taft. What did they do?

But in 1912, with these same bosses all supporting
Taft because they had discovered that he was their kind
of statesman, how different! Today, Mckinley, Pen

have been wicked to do in 1912, THE VERY SAME

DEATHBED REPENTANCE.

The revision downward Of the woolen and sugar
schedules of "the best tariff ever written" by the
reactionaries who wrote it and defended it, is not
vindication of the progressives who fought the
laws being enacted. Their vindcation came at the
hands of the people in 1910.
1t is merely the efforts of dying Administration
to make its peace with outraged decency, that its
going hence may not be accompanied by any har-
rowing deathbed scenes.
The Washington times., 1912-07-30

President Taft does especial honor to the frankness
and honesty of The Times newspaper by calling as
chief witness in his defense" of the theft of delegates at
Chicago.
If the President had discovered earlier that The Times
reliable Witness and had been willing to adopt
its views such matters the Banger scandal the loot
ing of Alaska the betrayal of the pure food laws, the tariff

pitifully low ebb they are. .H~ = ..3,. .,..
More than week before the Chicago convention
opened, The Times printed dispatch from correspond
ent at Chicago pointing out that particular significance
need be attached to the fact that the national committee
had to that date decided every contest in favor of Taft
At that me seventywo contested seats had been passed
on and all given to Taft. To the uninitiated, it was
statement calculated to give the impression that Roose-
velt losing everything, and had chance Therefore
The Times correspondent explained the exact significance
of those contests. He stated frankly and canddly what
doing told exactly what everybody knew was true
and what nobody had made any secret or mystery
about The statement of the facts caused no asonish
ment then, because it wasn't astonishing; it would have
no significance but for the fact that it was printed
in newspaper then and supporting Colonel Roose-

June 9, GIVE 1T A DISTORTED SIGNIFICANCE, AND

The Times correspondent wrote that the decision of
seventywo cases against Roosevelt had no special Sig
nficance He pointed out that many of the cases were
started for merely political reasons and told why When
Roosevelt became candidate considerable number OF
delegates had already been selected in the South by the
Federal otcehoders machines and instructed for Taft

Colonel Roosevelt became candidate, would have shown
