CONTESTED DELEGATES AT
LARGE.
Arizona.


In the Arizona convention there were
ninety-three votes All the delegates
six in number-were to be selected at
large. The counties were entitled to Sc
lect their delegates through their coun
ty committee or by primary. In one
county, Maricopa. majority of the
committee decided to select its dele
gates and a minority to have pri.
mary. In other counties there were
some contests, and the sttae commit
tee, following the usage Of the national
committee, gave a hearing to all con
testants in order to make up the tenn
porary roll. There was a clear major
ity of the Taft delegates among the
uncontested delegates. The committee
made up the temporary roll and then
there was a bolt, sixty-four remaining
in the hall and twenty-five withdraw
ing therefrom. The case of the Taft
majority was so clear that it i difficult
to understand why contest was made.
Indiana.
In Indiana the four Taft delegates at
large were elected in a state conven-
ton to which Marion county, in which
indianapolis is situate, was entitled to
12S votes. A primary was held in In
dianapolis, at which Taft polled 5000
and Roosevelt 1,400 votes. This gave
Taft LOG delegates in the state conven-
ton from Marion county, and if they
were properly seated the control OF the
convention by a large majority was
conceded to Taft. Attempt was made
to impeach the returns from Marion
county by charges of fraud and repeat
ing. These charges were OF general
character, without specification except
as TO one ward out of fifteen wards.
and then the impeaching witness ad-
mitted he could not claim fraud enough
TO change the result in that ward. The
national committee, upon which there
were fifteen anti-Taft men, rejected
The Roosevelt contestants and gave the
Taft delegates their seats by a unani-
nous vote. Senator Borah and Mr..
Frank B. Kellogg, both Roosevelt men.
made speeches in explaining the votes
in which they said that the case turned
wholly on the Marion county primary,
and as there was no evidence to i'm
neach the result certified, the title Of
the Taft delegates was clear. This is
the convention whose proceedings
called forth such LOUD charges Of theft
and fraud from Mr.. Roosevelt
Kentucky.
In Kentucky a contest was fled
against only three Of the four delegates

CALIFORNIA;.
Fourth District.

The Fourth California presented this
question: Under the state law the dele
cation, two from each district, was
elected on a general ticket, in a group
of twenty-six Each delegate might
either express his presidential prefer
ence or agree to vote for the presiden'
tial candidate receiving the highest
number in the state. In the Fourth
district the two candidates from that
district on the Taft ticket expressed
preference for Taft, but did not
agree to vote for the candidates hay
ing the highest state vote. These Tart
delegates in the Fourth district re-
ceived a majority Of 200 more than
the Roosevelt delegates in that dis
trict. The national call forbade any
Jaw or the acceptance Of any law
which prevented the election Of dele
gates by districts. In other words, the
call Of the national convention was at
variance with the state law. The state
law sought to enforce the state unit
rule and required the whole twenty
six delegates to be voted for all over
the state, assigning two to each dis
trict on the ticket to abide the state
wide election, while the Republican
national convention has insisted upon
the unit Of the district since 1880. That
has been the party law, This conven-
ton recognized the party law and held
it to be more binding than that of the
state law. and allowed the two dele
gates who had received In the Fourth
district vote larger than their two
opponents assigned to that district, to
become delegates in the convention.
This was clearly lawful, for state has
no power to limit or control the basis
of representation of voluntary ma
tional party in a national convention.
The fact that President Taft by tele-
gram approved all the twenty-six dele
gates as representing him is said to be
an estoppel against his claiming the
election of two of those delegates in
their Fourth district. What is there
inconsistent in his approving the can
didacy of all his delegates and the
election of two of them? Why should
he be thus estopped to claim that part
Of the law was imperative because in
conflict with the call of the conventioni

THE TRUTH ABOUT
:. THOSE DELEGATES
Roosevelt Contests Instlgated
to Deceive the Public.
ALL BUT IA WERE ABANDONED

An Examination of the Facts Shows
That the Tribunals Which Decided
These Contests In Favor Of Mr.. Taft
Were Right In Every lnstanee-Ths
Remaining 1854 Contests Were Frivol-
Gus, and Their Prompt Abandonment
Reflects Upon the Genuinsness and
Validity of tho Remainder.
Washington, July 29.-Here are the
facts In relation to the contested seats
In the Republican national convention.
It is a summary of detailed state
ment going carefully into all of the
cases, a statement so thorough that II
takes up $50 pages of printed matter.
This statement is signed by Mr.. Victor
Rosewater, chairman of the former Re
publican national committee; by Mr..
81. Devine of Colorado, chairman Of the
committee on credentials of the Repub
lican national convention, and by Mr..
Charles d. Hilles, chairman Of the
present Republican national committee
The total number of delegates sum

was LOIS. with $40 necessary to a
choice. Mr.. Taft had SCI votes on the
first and only ballot and was declared
the nominee There were instituted
elected for Taft contests on behalf OF
Roosevelt These contests were avow
eddy instigated not for the purpose OF
really securing seats in the convention.
not for the purpose of adducing evi
dence which would lead any respect
able court to entertain the contests, but
for the purpose of deceiving the public
into the belief that Mr.. Roosevelt had
more votes than he really had, as the
conventions and primaries were in
progress for the selection Of delegates
This is not only necessary inference
from the character Of the contests, but
1t was boldly avowed by the chief edi
tor of the newspapers owned by Mr.
Munsey, who has been Mr.. Roosevelt's
chief financial and newspaper sup
porter. The 23S contests were reduced
by abandonment to seventy-four.
The very fact Of these 164 frivolous
contests itself reflects upon the genu
ineness and validity Of the remainder
The seventy-four delegates include six
at large from Arizona. four at large
from Kentucky, four at large from In
diana, six at large from Michigan.
eight at large from Texas and eight al
large from Washington, and also two
district delegates each from the Ninth
Alabama, the Fifth Arkansas, the
Thirteenth Indiana, the Seventh,
Eighth and Eleventh Kentucky. the
Third Oklahoma, the Second Tennes
see and from each Of nine districts. the
First, Second, Fourth, Fifth. Seventh
Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Fourteenth
of Texas.

attempting to add 131 precinct men 70
the old committee was, of course, be-
You'd his power. The resolution au-
thorizing him to ill vacancies, OF
course. applied only to those places
which became vacant after they had
been filed and clearly did not apply to
131 new precincts. 1t could not in the
nature Of things apply to a change
from the old system to complete new
system of precincts created by the city
council, because II they were to be
filed the entire number Of 331 new
precincts different from the old must
be filed. One system could not be
made into the other by mere add
tional appointment Of t31 committee
men. No lawyer will say that such
action by the committee thus consti-
tuted was legal. Therefore the action
which the lawful committee Of 250 took
In elect1ng Taft delegates who made
majority in the state convention was
the only one which could be recognized
as valid.
CONTESTED DISTRICT DELE
GATES.
80 ALABAMA. aErs##4&
Ninth District.
The Ninth Alabama contest turned
on the question whether the chairman
Of a district committee had power to
fill vacancies, whether a committee
man who had sent his resignation to
take effect only in case he was not
present, being present, should be pre-
vented from acting as committeeman.
and, third, on the Identity of another
committeeman. The written resolu'
ton under which the right Of the
chairman to appoint to vacancies was
claimed showed on its face that the
specific authority was written In In
different writing and different colored
pencil between the lines. A number OF
affidavits were filed by committeeman
who were present when the resolution
was passed to show that the resolu,
ton contained no such authority. This
gave rise to u question Of fact upon
which a very large majority of both
the national committee and the com
mittee on credentials held that the
lead pencil insertion was forgery,
that the chairman did not have the au'
thority therefore to appoint to the
vacancies, and therefore the action OF
his committee was not valid. This
made 1t necessary to reject the contest
ants. The committee decided the two
other issues OF fact before them In
favor of the Taft contention, although
the first decision was conclusive.
ARKANSAS.
Eth District.
In the Fifth Arkansas the question
was one of the identity Of one faction
or the other as the Republican party.
This convention followed the example
of the convention of 1908 in holding
that what was known as the Reddine
faction was not the Republican party.
that it was a defunct organization and
had only acquired life at the end OF
each four years for the purpose OF
using it in the national convention
The contestants were therefore reject
ed. 1t was shown that the other OF
Taft had been in active existence as
the Republican party, had nominated
a local ticket and had run a congress

go to make the city very attractive.
According to schedule the Moorhead
party left the city amid hurrahs
promptly at $3.50, the pilot car driven
by Vice President Hopeman Of the
Moorhead Automobile club leading the
way out via the Meridian road on the
North Dakota side Of the Red river,
the official route for autoists, the
highway being completely s~ignboarded
all the way to Fargo. The route is a
most delightful one and good time was
made. Returning one or two cars got
into trouble and the repair man had
much to do in the way of fixing tires.
One long delay was caused by a broken
spring so that car No. 10, driven by
Secretary Walker Of the automobile
club, who was accompanied by N. J.
Norhy. c. Wilson representing The Fo-
rum, and Mr.. Kelting, the repair man,
did not reach Fargo until a few min

little in the way Of repairs there were
no accidents whatever.
