The “Theft of the Wash- | ington Delegation at the Chicago Convention” was the jtheme with which Col. Roosevelt opened. “This was | preeminently a state where the people were defrauded of their right to say who their nominee should be,” |the colonel declared. “I believe Washington is for |Roosevelt.” “You bet,” the crowd yelled and the col- onel grinned delightedly. “However,” he resumed, “I’m not going to talk about the republican party. I don’t discuss dead folks. I’m against those who pay for political services with judgeships and district attor- neyships. “If we win, we'll smash both the old ma- chine parties to flinders.” Roosevelt was plainly referring to Taft’s appoint. ment of Howard as federal judge and B. W. Coiner |as district attorney. Coiner was the principal actor in the theft of the Washington delegates.
