THE MINORITY REPORT The strong-arm methods used at the recent Indianapolis republican convention are shown in the action taken on the minority report of tne committee on credentials. After reviewing the contests in the Third and Sixth districts, the minority report took up the alleged fraud in the Seventh district and declared that the delegates should be unseated because of the following evidence brought before the committee: That the representatives of the Roost, Mt supporters had demanded of 11. R. Wallace, c.T.:,tv chairman, representati on on the various election boards to be appointed by him and such demand was refused. That watchers representing the Roosevelt supporters be permitted in th" election rooms nuring the voting, which demand was refused. That watchers on behalf of Roosevelt supporters be permitted to watch the count of the votes, which was refused. That the voting places in most of the contested wards were placed in remote corners and most inaccessible places in such wards and the chairman failed to announce or publish a list of such voting places until the day preceding the date of 'he primaries. That city employees were threatened with dismissal unless they supported Taft slates in their respective wards. That in all but two of the contesting wards the voting was done in a fraudulent manner in that the voting rooms were so arranged that the election officers or the ballot boxes could not be seen; voters were compelled to hand their votes through a small hole in a window to an unseen person and could not see what became of the ballot after it left his hand. That at voting places in practically every one of the contesting wards from two to four policemen were stationed who drove Roosevelt workers from the polls, prevente dthe taking down of names and addresses of the voters who had voted Roosevelt slates, solicited votes on behalf of Taft Elates. That scores upon scores of repeat-

Don’t Gamble Clothes! The average man knows little about clothes. He likes the color of the fabric, the cut of the garments, but has doubts of the wearing qualities. He looks on clothes-buying as more orlessof a gamble. The man who chooses Michaels-Stern Clothes does not gamble. He takes no chances. Six months after he has bought a suit he is still satisfied. The wearing qualities are there. SUITS SIO.OO to $22.50 Come And Be Satisfied MYERS-DAILEY CO.c* ■

1 ers voted in every contested ward. That wagon and automobile loads of such repeaters were hauled from ward to ward and voted at each place from two to six times. [ That one automobile truck load of I eleven men was seen to vote at the Tenth ward, then drove to the Elev- - enth ward and voted there; then they drove to the Twelfth ward and voted: then went back tc the Tenth ward and i toted again. Roth the Tenth and ) Twelfth wards are contested. 3 On none of the contested wards was a register of the residence of voters ® kept, though demand that this be 3 done was made. The Taft workers, " with the aid of the police, prevented ' Roosevelt workers from obtaining the - addresses of voters. '•I That in two wards and one townI ship, an accurate tab of all votes cast j was kept and ‘L addition an accurate list of the names and addresses of j such voters who stated they had voted , for the Roosevelt delegates was made ' 1 during the voting and such list, comI • pared with the total vote cast, showed II that the Roosevelt delegates were . elected by latge majorities. The majority yi the committee cn I ■ credentials, .ill Taft men, refused I even to hear the evidence and no sooner was the contest brought before them than they seated the Taft delegates without ceremony. It was the contested delegations which controll- ! ed the convention by a narrow margin and they seated themselves by their! I own ballots. Although occupying the ; position of the accused at trial, they ! i were allowed to cast the deciding vote l ! i which declared them innocent. For | some reason the Indianapolis Star and . ■ News failed to mention this report. ; — I PUBLIC SALE.
