The big puzzle here is what caused Col, Roosevelt to practically de- ssert the field of battle yesterday afternoon when the test vote on the (Watson resolution showed he was holding his strength in the convention, although there was plainly visible a feeling among the delegates and spec- "tators that he was in for a big struggle. The credit for driving the Colone! Brom behind his breastworks of delegates and forcing him to open threats Wf a bolt is given by politicians to one Elihu Root of New York. \ In all the preliminaries to the convention the Colonel had the ad- bvantage. It has been found since the vote in the Coliseum that confiden- | heial representatives from his managers as to his support were well founded. | - And as soon as the Colonel got here last Saturday afternoon he pro- seeded to give an imitation of a racehorse beating the barrier and spread- neagling his field. | On Sunday Col. Roosevelt enjoyed a big boost. He was moving! pward the goal like an automobile fire engine answering an alarm in| Harlem. On Sunday night there were few political observers outside of | ‘the hidebound reactionaries who did not think that Col. Roosevelt would take the nomination by breaking up the Taft forces before the ‘first ballot and gathering sufficient strength to win from the debris, FINDS TAFT MEN IN THE DUMPS. At about that time Senator Elihu Root of New York came to town. WHe found himself in the midst of a coterie of perplexed bosses, the same weing Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania, Senator Reed Smoot of | ‘Utah, Willlam Barnes of New York and others of equal interest in the Taft movement, Their perplexity was due to the impetus the arrival wf Col. Roosevelt had given his boom. They had been unable to do fanything to stop that impetus. | Senator Elihu Root did something that put the brakes on Col. “Roosevelt. The New York Senator had not been in town long when a blight fell on the Roosevelt chances, The Colonel's supporters knew they had encountered a coli wave and tried valiantly to escape from it, ‘but every way they turned they got more of a chill. By Monday night the Colonel’s boom had come to a dead stop, ‘and when the convention met on Tuesday noon it was beginning to, ‘move backwards. At the present time Senator Root appears to have the! whole Republican organization movement in his own hands. The old time party men are looking to him to rescue them and the party from what they regard as a ticklish siluation. New York leaders, knowing | something of the Root plans, but not enough to warrant them in making them public, assert tat the Senator will save the party and that Col. ! Roosevelt will be around with his hat in his hand looking for something ‘from the pariy table before he gets through with his insurgent movemeni, Senator Cummins seni word from.

The opposition to me was extraordinarily bitter, for | was opposed by the practically solid _WORLD, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1912.

HER HUSBAND. - Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana—and of Northern States like New York, where the people had no chance to express them- selves at primaries and where the delegates were picked by the bosses. “In spite of these odds against me, I obtained a clear ma- jority of all the delegates elected to the convention. In my cam- paign I again and again stated that if the people decided against me I would have nothing to say, but if they decided for me, and the politicians then robbed me of the victory, 1 would not silently and tamely acquiesce. It was evident that my op- ponents, with Mr. Taft's encouragement, intended to beat me by foul means, if they could not do so by fair means. ASSAILS NATIONAL COMMITTEE. “The crucial, but not the only step in the concerted and hitherto successful effort to cheat the people out of the victory they had fairly won, was taken up when the now defunct National Committee, without one show of justification, and with contempt of the most ordinary rules of decency, In making up the temporary roll call, unseated ninety fairly elected Roosevelt delegates and substituted for them ninety Taft delegates, who in the convention represent nothing whatever but successful fraud. It was clearly entitled to all these ninety delegates; all the ninety CONVENTION FLOOR IN CHICAGO---SOME OF THE NOTABLES “AMONGST THOSE PRESENT” TAFT WINS FIRST ROUND IN NEW FIGHT FOR SEATS, COMMITTEE VOTES 34 10 14 $$ | CHICAGO. June 20.—The Taft forces emphasized their control of the | National Convention this afternoon in the first test vote before the Cre- | dentials Committee. By a vote of thirty-four to fourteen the committee seated James R. Sloan and J. R. Carter in the Ninth Alabama District. These delegates were originally placed on the roll by the National Com- mittee, and it was this action that drew the Colonel's original charge that ,|the committee was “in league with thieves.” The Roosevelt men who |bolted last night returned to-day on orders from the Colonel. The committee debated the issue at lengh after the contestants had retired, and the morning was consumed on this single district. Chair- man Devine expressed the belief when the luncheon recess was ordered, and the committee had now “found itself” that there would be rapid prog- ress on all other cases. The vote came after two hours of) decision on the excited debate, R. R. MoCormick of Iiinole leading the Roosevelt battle. | (anit Arizona, Was He moved to deny @ vote to commit!

Deneen’s motion for par- tially cleansing the roll of fraud was defeated by the vote of these straight ninety fraudulent delegates, the last vote being a vote on a straight moral issue, the result of which in my judgment ought to render it impossible for any man longer to take part in the proceedings of the convention as now consti- . tuted, “The majority in each case was slightly over fifty. In each case, therefore, if it had not been for the rascality which placed these fraudulent delegates on the roll and permitted them to vote, the cause of decency would have won; Mr. McGovern would have been elected in place of Mr. Root, Gov. Deneen’s motion would have prevailed and the Republican National Con- vention would now have been exercising in good faith the high, honorable and important function of honestly representing the wishes, the judgment and the interest of the plain people.” “I do not wish a single man to support me from any per- sonal feeling for me. 1 have nothing to offer any man; any man who supports me will do so without hope of gain and at the risk of personal loss and discomfort. “But if having this in view those fervent in their great tight for the rule of the people and for social and industrial jus- tice has now become a clear cut fight for honesty against dis- honesty, fraud and theft, desire me to lead the fight, 1 will do so, “There can be no cause for which it is better worth while to fight, none in which it is of less consequence what happens to the individual himself, provided only that he valiantly does his duty for the forward movement. I shall make my appeal to all honest men, East and West, North and South, and gladly take the result, whatever the result may be. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” RUSH TO SAVE PARTY: Volunteer saviors of the Republican party were waiting for Col. clared most {mportant casos, tlal Committee's ratification of the National Committee's decision, if the convention acqulesces in the finding.

In many of the Republican States and of the Democratic States where there is a large and real Republican party, primaries of different kinds were held, and a substantial expression of the will of the people was obtained.

In these States 1 obtained about six delegates to Mr. Taft's one, Nearly three-fourths of my delegates came trom these primary States where the people had a chance to express themselves. “Mr, Taft's strength, as indicated by the two roll calls already taken, consisted chiefly (aside from his ninety stolen delegates) of nearly the solid delegations from the Territories and from the Southern States, in which there is no real Repub- lican Parly—Seuth Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Roosevelt when he got out of bed to-day to implore him to rescind his jbolt decision and stay regular, Early callers on that mission were met ‘hy the Colonel's declaration that he stands by his early morning speech advising his followers (0 cut loose from the convention and form a party of his own, After being in conference with Col, Roosevelt for half an hour Gov. | Hadley, the Roosevelt floor leader, said: “1 will continue in the fight on the same lines as I have been follow. ing in the convention,” Asked about a report of a disagreement between himself and Col, jRoosevelt, he denied there was any foundation for it, . “If the Colonel bolts, will he Franies Heney, the California firebrand, was asked, “Ah, cut out the Republican,” he replied; “what we want is a ‘pro- * party.” ‘or Dixon ais considerably excited as he talked of the tense 0 party,” he declared emphatically, as he waved his arms and clenched his fists, “depends upon the integrity of that convention to-day.
