ALL DELEGATES-AT-LARGE GIVEN TAFT BY THE COMMITTEE

Action Taken by the Committee in Important Case Clearly Proves Plan to Steal Convention.

(Continued from Face One.) er contest has effected so many notables prominent in Republican national politics.

CUMMINS WON'T GO TO CHICAGO. WASHINGTON', June 10 Senator 'A. B. Cummins of Iowa, who for two days has been flooded with telegrams from Roosevelt supporters looking toward negotiations for the use of his delegates iu organizing the Chicago convention, today received an urgent telegram from Ormsby MeHarg. in charge of the Roosevelt contests, asking him to go to Chicago at once lor a. conference. Senator Cummins sent a reply refusing to consider the proportion.

THE CALIFORNIA CASE. CHICAGO, June 10. The threat or the Taft people to acquire the entire California delegation was sidetracked today when in a squabble over the Duestion whether the contest in the fourth California district, was carried. The fourth is the only district in that state in which a contest was filed. Committeeman Knight, of California, lemanded, when the committee met, that this contest be taken up at once. The vote on the Borah motion is the Nearest approximation of a victory the Roosevelt forces have won in the committee. While it does not add any to the Colonel's string of delegates it showed that in one incident the Roosevelt men had shaken the nerve of the Steam roller engineers. . Knight was in a fighting spirit when he demanded the hearings begin at pnce. "The case of California is now eady," he said. "Is there any reason why it should go over? I read in a morning paper that it was to be put over. There is only a little technicality In one district. If there is anything underneath I don't understand it. "At this point Senator Newlands and Harry New expressed themselves in favor of taking up the case. Then Senator Borah's resolution preventing hearing any case in California except the fourth district contest was offered and passed. The motion of Knight to hear the fourth district contest was brought up. Finally on roll call the contest in the fourth district was put over until Wednesday. Indiana Fight Begun. That left the slate clear for taking up the contest on delegates-at-large from Indiana. Denying the right, of the national committee to nominate a president with a gavel and asserting that the twelve contested delegates from Indiana are gavel-made delegates, Horace G. Stillwell denounced the national committee bitterly today for Its bias and partisanship. Mr. Stillwell was speaking in behalf of twelve contesting Roosevelt delegates from Indiana. He declared he represented the great mass of Republican voters in a great Republican state, and the seating of Taft delegates in the face of fraud would be a most reckless use of power, and destructive to the best interests of the Republican party in Indiana. While Harry S. New, Republican national committeeman, lent his partisanship brethern moral support by sitting in the committee session while his own seat in the convention was being contested he said before the meeting convened he would not vote on hia own case. Center of Interest. The interest of both factions in the tig Republican fight centered in the doings of the national committee today. "Bin" Flinn and his vigilantes, the doings of GIfford Pinchot, Francis J. Heeney and George C. Pardee, the expected arrival of William Barnes Jr., "boss" of New York, were lost sight of in the general scramble to be near nough the committee rooms to hear the roller bump over the bit of rough road the Indiana doings afforded. The contest over delegates at large scheduled to be about the first thing the committee undertook to determine, promised the sensation of the day. It ia the "test case" of the RooseVelt men. The fight hinged on the committees review of the primary In Marion County (including Indianapolis) at which delegates were elected to the state convention that named the Taft delegates-at-large. Charges of gross fraud, manipulation, buying of otes, use of "repeaters" stuffed Dailot boxes and illegal counting: were the basis of the Roosevelt contest. The primary election was characterized by Roosevelt soon after it occurred as the crookedest ever held in this country. The briefs filed by the Colonel's supporters have been prepared with a view to sustaining the former president's charge. The Marion county delegation controlled the state convention in In-

ty. This result was achieved, they say, because of the organization got out the vote. They assert that the charges of "repeaters" are false. The contest committee, headed by Hugg, investigated assertions that 200 illegal voters were sent to the polls in the tenth city ward. The committee found that the Roosevelt men making the assertion could name nne of the "repeaters" said to have been used. Therefore the contest was dropped. There are also a number of affidavits filed by the Taft men denying specific charges particularly those of manipulation. No "Trouble" Expected. The Indiana contest for delegates-at-large is not expected to bother the steam roller. Orders issued from the Penrose headquarters to drive ahead. The attorneys for the Taft men have discovered that the contest committee that heard the contests after the primary ended is a "party review" of the primary and that the committee need not inquire into this matter again. In the first district the Taft men expect an easy time. On the showing of their brief the charges are that frauds occurred in the ward primaries in Evansville are groundless. Horeover, they assert, had all the contests been allowed the Taft men would still have controlled the convention by ten to

I fifteen votes.

diana. The whole contest in the convention practically centered on securing the votes of these delegates. Rooseveltian Charges. According to the Roosevelt men the Taft forces decided to make the primary one of the "soap box" brand. There is an optional primary law over party organization in Indiana. The optional part allows the machine men who have the say to decide not to hold the election under the law. To choose these delegates they decided to hold a primary under their own rules and regulations. Under these rules the county chairman, Harry Wallace, named the election boards. Roosevelt men say they were excluded from any representation. They were not allowed to have watchers at the polls nor at the count. The Australian ballot was tabooed and the old fashioned ballot prepared outside and handed the voters was substituted. Under these rules the Roosevelt men assert in their affidavits filed with the national committee the machine proceeded to hold the election in its own way. Several auto truck loads of negroes, some 200 in all, it is asserted, were driven from one polling place to another and voted for the Taft delegates. In some places ballots, it is, asserted, had to be handed in through a window. The voter did not see them dropped into the ballot boxes. It is alleged that the "repeaters" handed in several ballots folded together. The methods of counting were unique, according to the Roosevelt faction. In one ward, it is asserted, persons who watched through a windowsaw the clerks check off the vote on the tally sheets. After they were through the ballots were taken from the boxes and burned. The boxes were not opened before the tally sheets were completed. Taft Men's Denial. The answer of tfie Taft men is a general denial. They admit that under a primary governed by the rules the committe adopted there was some chance for fraud. Recognizing this, they say, they followed a custom as old as the party primary in Indiana. A contest committee was appointed to

hear any charges brought after the voting. This was done, it is asserted, j in order to give the contestants a more i complete hearing than any convention credentials committee could do. Martin

, Hugg, law partner of Joseph B. Keal-

ing, head of the Taft vigilant committee was chairman of this committee. The brief filed by the Taft men asserts that while there was some fraud which they themselves endeavored to discover and counteract the cause should go against the Roosevelt men on the prima facie evidence of the returns. Roosevelt received 1,480 and Taft 6,163 votes, a plurality for the president of 4,483 votes in the coun-

Napoleon and His Tutor. Naoleon was a great soldier, but he could not spell. His handwriting was also so bad as to give rise to the rumor that he used undecipherable characters to conceal the fact that he. the master of Europe, could not master French orthography. In the early days of the empire a man of modest aspect presented himself before the emperor. "Who are you?-' nsked Napoleon. "Sire, I had the honor at Brienne for fifteen months to give writing lessons to your majesty." "You turned out a nice pupil." said the emperor, with vivacity. "I congratulate you on your success." Nevertheless he conferred a pension upou his old master.

ARTIFICE OF AN ARTIST.

Be Ignorance thy choice where kaowl edge leads to woe. Beattie.

Passed Along. An old womua was once pouring a tirade into the ear of Charles Lamb more remarkable in length than substance. Observing that the noted essayist was fast lapsing into a state of oblivion, she. aroused him by remarking iu a loud voice: "I'm afraid, Mr. Lamb, you are deriving no benefit from my observations." "Well, madam," he replied. "I cannot say that I am. but perhaps the woman on the other side of me is, for they go in one ear and out the other."

Pockets Maks the Man. Mrs. John Lnue, in a volume-of essays called "Talk of the Town." takes an ingenious way to prove that mentally woman is superior to man: Just consider: The most ordinary kind of man has at least a dozen pockets, while a woman of transcendent intellect generally has none, or, if she has one, it is where she can't get at it. Now. try to imagine a man doing his errands with a purse, handkerchief and shopping list in one hand, the tail of his skirt in the other, his umbrella under one arm. meanwhile making an effort to keep his head clear for business problems and at the same time keeping a wary eye out for motors. He couldn't do it! There really is no doubt that man owes his superiority to women entirely to his pockets.

Misleading. A man once ran for office, and after a very close election the returns showed that he had been elected by a few votes. A friend with whom he had been discussing the matter asked: "What makes you think that all the ballots weren't counted?" "You see," replied the successful candidate, "I'm judging from the number of fellows who've come around asking for a job on the ground that they voted for me." New 1'ork Times.
