THOUGHT THEY HAO EC0U6II DELEGATES FOR TAFTVICTORY However, at the - Eleventh Hour in the Convention Hall, Two Shelby Taft Del- , egVtes Did a Flop.

' (Continued . from Pag One.) piece from the Maxwell-Briscoe band." In the meantime Charles Campbell, of Shelby, a Roosevelt national committeeman, could be seen from the press table earnestly conversing with two Taft delegates In the Shelby dele Ration. Charles was preparing to play his little trump card. While Campbell talked Judge Jackson assured the howling Roosevelt men that they were going to get a square deal. Then John King, of Shelbyvllle, rose and read the majority report of the credentials committee, eating the contested Taft delegates, six from Henry county and one and a half from Shelby. Applause and hoots rent the atmosphere at the conclusion of the reading. Then Wilt Bond, of Richmond, stepped from the right wing of the stage and read the minority report with various affidavits and other documentary evidence setting forth the claims of the Roosevelt men long with a signed statement from 300 Henry county voters stating they had voted for the Roosevelt delegates whose seats had been contested. The report was signed by H. F. Roberts. Hancock county, W. E. Sparks, Fayette and M. A. Bond, of Wayne. Jackson Still Smiled.

Elmer Bassett, following this report made a motion that it be tabled. When Judge Jackson, still smiling had restored order he called for a vote. The chairman of each county delegation, one by one, arose and cast their ballots, and finally Shelby county was reached. In an Impressive manner. Mr. Campbell arose, and, with a ring of triumph In his voice, shouted, "Shelby rotes eight noes and seven ayes." Instantly the smiles disappeared from the countenances of Messrs. Starr, Hernly, Bassett, Watson, Jackson and other lesser lights in the Taft ranks. They were beaten! Instantly each one of them realized that they bad made a tactical mistake in permitting a ballot. They could have won hands down on an aye and no vote, but the milk had been spilled and there wea no use crying and they took their defeat gamely. Following the adjournment Bassett and Watson were called on for speeches. Both informed the delegates that they were "all Republicans," etc., and that now the convention was over it was time for all factions to get together and work shoulder to shoulder to bring success to the party at the polls. That Surpria Vote. The vote on the motion to table the minority report of the credentials committee follows:

majority. The minority report was finally withdrawn, at Mr. Campbell's suggestion for the sake of harmony. Following the election of T. C. Bry-

son and Enos Porter, both Roosevelt men, as delegates to the national convention, with J. F. Reed of Hancock county, and B. R. Inman, of Henry county as alternates, F. S. Buggie of Shelby, was elected national elector and R. N. S. Oldham, of Hancock, was chosen contingent elector. Convention's Results. On the outcome of the convention yesterday depended whether Jim Watson would continue as a factor in Republican politics in the Sixth district. He realized that a defeat would practically kill whatever political prestige remained to him after his defeat for governor. To sit in the inner circle of the Kealing-Fairbanks machine cabinet it would be necessary for him to prove that he could still control his own district. Realizing this and also that the fight he was up against was the fiercest he had to deal with in years, Watson sent an urgent plea for aid to a master politician, Henry C. Starr, of Chicago and formerly of Richmond, who for years ruled over the district as boss with an iron hand. Starr came and he used all his craft and political science to save the day,

but to no avail. The convention was as much a Waterloo for him as it was for. Watson. - t All the convention committees were controlled by the Taft faction because four of the seven uncontested Taft delegations had a majority of Taft delegates, and each , county was entitled to one member on each committee. As a consequence the credentials committee by a vote of four to three seated the six Henry county Taft delegates in contest and placed a

Henry county Taft leader on each of the committees, giving each a Taft majority of two. The rest of the con

vention machinery, the chairmanship, fell into the hands of the Taft crowd through the blank proxy sent to Con-

neraville by District Chairman Meredith. Aiter a consultation by Starr, Watson and Bassett the name of Judge E. Jackson of Henry county, was Inscribed on the Meredith proxy and everything was ready to name two Taft national delegates, but as

has been previously mentioned, the Taft leaders' plans were made without reckoning with the clever Mr.

Campbell, who also knows a few political tricks, and when the show-down came, the Taft men were shy two votes. When the Wayne county, delegation went to ConnersVille. it was thought to stand 19 for Roosevelt and 1 for Taft, but at Connersvtlle Delegate Park, of Abington township announced that he would vote for Taft, notwithstanding the fact that he was elected on the understanding that he was for Roosevelt and resolutions were adopted pledging the township's
