TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1912 ROOSEVELT CONTINGENT PREPARING 10 B0 ——— urged that this be the signal for the “break,” and that they proceed forth- with to nominate Mr. Roosevelt in the convention hall. The moderate mem- bers of the Roosevelt council urged that the temporary organization of the convention was not the convention it- self and that the fire of the Roosevelt forces should be reserved for later in the session. This does not mean there will be an absence of fight from the fall of the gavel; the Rooseveit leaders are anxious to get their stand before the country at the earliest op- portunity and they propose to make their position clear—to give definite and general understanding of the prin- ciple for which they say they are fight- ing, at the very outset, Colonel Roose- velt urged tonight that the fight begin at once and it will, but the firat day may be confined to the skirmish lines.

It was dif- ficult enough for them to reach any sort of conclusion a8 to how the dele- gates finally would line up on the question of the nomination and next to impossible to determine just what delegates or delegations could be de- pended upon to put through their pre- Jiminary programme. Some of the del- cgates instructed for Colonel Roose- velt, it was known, would not support all the moves made by his strong com- mittee on the convention floor, while it appeared equally true that many of the delegates instructed for Taft for | president did not feel obligated to sup- | port his managers on any other ques tion.

The Illinols caucus was a long one, Col- onel Roosevelt is sald to have address- ed Governor Deneen pointedly and to have told him he would be personally responsible for the conduct of his del- ogates, Senator Root Under Physician’s Care. Senator Root, the prospective storm center of the first great fight, was liI tonight and under the care of a physi- cian. He could speak scarcely above a whisper, but hoped to be in condition tomorrow to make the opening ad- dress. The Taft people tonight selected for- mer Representative James E.

Roosevelt Says Action of Fraudulent Delegates is Not Binding. Chicago, June 17.—On the eve of the republican national convention Colonel Roosevelt tonight disclosed the line of attack which he will make, He laid down two principles. He said that the Qdelogates whose selection he contests must not vote in the organization.of the convention or upon the settlement of the contest, and made it clear that he would resist it. He declared that no action of the convention based upon the votes of these “fraudulently seated delegates would be binding upon the republican party.” It was at the Roosevelt rally in the Auditorium that the ex-president made his challenge. He was facing a cheer- ing throng which jammed the huge building as tightly as the fire marshal would permit. Reaching far to the rear, to the last line of seats, and to the top of the topmost baicony, were solid rows of men and women; dele- gates from every part of the country; Roosevelt leaders and a host of pri- vates in the Roosevelt army. They gave the ex-president a mighty wel- come. Colonel Roosevelt made a fight- ing spoech. His hearers were in fight- ing mood, They cheered him on as he denounced his opponents and shouted to him: “Go at them, Teddy!” ‘“Knock out the 'steam roller!” ‘ ‘Hit them again!” Long befors Roosevelt reached the Auditorium every seat was taken. Outside the bullding were thousands who were unable to galn admisston. Two hundred policemen held them back. Senator Borah made a spsech while the crowd was walting for Colonel Roosevelt. His remarks were brought to an untimely end when the people leaped to thelr feet with a yeil. The colonel had come, It was nearly four minutes later when "the uproarious welcome subsid- ed. The colonel stood on the platform, waved his hands and smiled. Colonel Roosevelt was constantly in- terrupted during his speech with storms of applause. He frequently de- parted from his prepared speech for an extemporaneous thrust which brought the peopie to their feat shouting and waving the flags which were handed (o each person on entering tha hall. ‘I made my fight square and fair in the open. and T won,” he said. “T don't intend that my opponents shall cheat me out of > - The colonel gave a new definition of the national committee. “The national committee!” he ex- claimed. “Who are they? About 50 people with a ratio of honesty ranging from about 14 to 20 and the remaining 30 sure-thing men.” Colonel Rooseveit began to call the roll of some of his most prominent opponents. At the first he mentioned a groan came from the crowd. With the next name the groan became a roar. To preserve the peace the colonel gave up his rolicall. He said that his | chief opponents on the national com- mittee Were men who had been re- pudiated in their own states, ‘It 1s bad enough,” he complained, “to have the victory stolen by the bosses that are living, but it is an out- rage to have it stolen by bosses that aro among the unburied dead.” When Colonel Rooseveit sald that any action of the convention if brought about by the votes of delegates fraud- ulently seated would not be binding upon the party, there came the wildest outburst of applause of the evening, The erowd leaped up with e sheut and refused to be quieted desplte the col. onel's attempt to centinue, “If they sk for the sword,” sald he, when at last hie could make himself hoard, “they shall have It (Abstrast pf Colonel , Roosevelt's speech Is printed on Pege 5.

Hornblower of New York to the graduating class of the Yale Law school. Self-Styled Progressive May Be Resos tionary. “The self-styled progressive,” he sald, “ig not necessarily the trus pro< gressive. He may be a reactionary of the worst kind. Civilization rests upon law. Law rests upon the courts.

The plea that the remedy of fm= peachment was inadequate when & Judge was found to be Incompetent of corrupt, sald the speaker, was made in support of the recall, but the worst posstble method of improving the par~ sonnel of the judiciary was to submit them to the indignity of & recall whenever a defeated litigant could per~ suade a majority of the voters to de g0. Further, it needed no prophet to see what the effect on the mind of the Judge would be with a litigant on one side with powerful political influences and an individual on the other side contending against those Influemces. He pointed out that the courts are not only to administer the law but declare law, and the public is entitied {0 the free and untrammeled exer-ime by the: Jjudge of the functions of his offe. Mr., Hornblower then fook wup the question of the “recall of ju - cistons,” and commented on “the tility of the scheme advocated 5y wn ex-president of the United Maies” for a recall of the principle expressed in Judicial decisions of the sevem] siate laws while leaving free from recall ihs decistons of the supreme conrt, whieh may, and often do, affect the swmé statitos as those of the state courts Judicial Recall and MoNamare Case. The most serious aspact of the pres- ent agitation, he sald, was not in ite immediate effects, but in the Lendency towards increasing the demand for turther changes in the direction of the impatrment of the integrity and inde- pendence of the judictary. The test of the recall would come in times of great public excitement, he said, when some class of the community would be affected by the enforcement of the w. He asked what would have been the result if the recall had been in force in California at the time of the McNamara trial. No amount of evi- dence could have convinced their sym- pathizers beyond controvemey of thelr gullt, he said, and only the confession of the men vindicated the prosecutor and judge. 1f the safeguards of the constitution and the integrity of the courts were not maintained he told his hearers in closing then the government of law and order would come to am end.
