the tired delegatee and the tired spectators that there would bo but tbreo or four more short speeches and the vote on the selecting of a temporary chairman would ha taken up This brought cheer to listless thousands and the remaining spellbinders wove what spella they eculd amid general toleration It waa early observed that the anti-Taft delegates had been instructed to watch Hadley They had been told to do what Hadley did and they followed instructions implicitly If Hadley had been turning handsprings thers is no doubt the anti-Taft delegates would havo engaged simultaneously In the same pleasing acrobatic exercise Nor were any guns pulled nor Hadley suitably attined in a long frock coal and -wearing an air of Inc tenos earnestness ad devotion to duty clambered on tho stage at the exact moment he gavel fell which was noon He was followed by James Watson of Indiana former Republican whip of tha House of Representatives who wore a light chocolate colored confection and had his heir neaitly frizzed Mr Watson appeared for the defendant Mr Hadley waited wHh much dignity while the Invocation wee sold and then started the proceeding by moving a substitute for the temporary roll which he seemed quite certain It was In the mind of Chairman Rosewater to propose Mr Wsison Inserted a deft point of order and Mr Hadley poke and waa followed by former Governor Foit of New Jmwty who also had some thoughts tn his system It appeared Faya Deeply Ceaeeraed Thun appeared Serene Payne whose name is attached to the Justly celebrated tariff bill which Mr Taft indorsed so highly It wss gathered from Mr Payne's remarks that he was deeply concerned lest chaos ensue At any rate he said ''chaos' some sixty-seven times in eleven minutes Mr Watson pleaded for Ms side of it and Chairman Rosewater reached into his pocket and drew forth hi ruhng on ths point ct order which he prudently hod prepared tome daye ago and had had neatly typewritten with extra coplea for tha presa he being In the newspaper business hlmaelf The upshot of Mr Hadley's temporary roll which contained the namea- of some eighty patriotic gentlemen the national committee had carelessly left off Its temporary roll was rejected and nominations for temporary chairman were all tha rage Young Mr Cocheme of Milwaukee who bursts In the limelight ones each four years and warns the Republican party It must not do this thing to Robert La Follatte and then sits mood'ly by and watches the Republican party proceed In utter disregard to hie warning hopned lightly on the stage and named McGovern of Wisconsin for the place Immediately thereafter Leader Hadley moved forward and mada a forceful apeeoh In favor of somebody Mr Hadley inadvertently refrained from mentioning whom ha was for during or at the and of hie declamation and hastily returned to eay tha person he had In mind was a chap named McGovern or McGavan or something like that This gave the required cue to the anti-Taft people who cheered loudly atd asked one another In thunder McGowan" Job Hedges of New York alleged in full view of the audience that the men needed for temporary chairman by that convention waa Senator Root and the time wore on So did various orators Including one colored brother who looked like Bob Fltsslmmona dyed black or a neat tan and who started mildly by saying Root the greatest statesman In tha world and worked up from that point gradually Toward the last Mr Hauser the manager for La Foilette strode to the front and announced that while the anti-Taft people had taken up McGovern the true friends of La Foilette were not In on It Mr La Foilette refusing to do anything but hew to the line letting the McGovern chips fall wjhere they might Hauser eald the anti-Taft people hod reached In end pMfered McGovern from their very midet without consulting the La Fol-tette men who were much vexed at this high-handed proceeding Mr Cocheme followed in hie warning specialty This time he warned all Wisconsin men not to vote for Rgot A few preliminaries were arranged and tha cheering- announcement waa made that the roll would be called not by States but- by Individual delegatee thus allowing many patriots who had not previously enjoyed that delicious sensation tho proud privilege of hearing their names spoken aloud before an ornate assemblage of their fellow-gentlemen The roll can proceeded monotonously- varied ever and anon by shouta when an occasional negro delegate so far forgot Mmeelf aa to vote for' McGovern Instead of Root aa set forth In the national committee specifications' gas ss a China Egg It took about three hours to 1 settle tho question- so far as the roll call -was Concerned and as a riot that part-of It too was as bogus as a ehlna egg Indeed It wee a most orderly end deliberate proceed I nx Mr Root won All this time he had been sitting on the stage with a- long 0 Attends to Routine Business as if There Was No National Convention TO BALL GAME IN AFTERNOON Sherman Says He Is Satisfied With Way Things Are Going Washington Aune XI President Teft wet rlgnt on with routine work at the White House to-day as If no such a thing as a national convention were being held He did not go to the executive offices early remaining at the library Tn the private part of the White House where he talked over the long distance telephone with Representative McKinley and Secretary HI He After' being informed In detail as to ths situation the President went to the executive ofllcee and began going over papers and giving directions All who sew the President said that he was as unruffled as ever and pointed to the fact that yesterday afternoon while Colonel ooeevelt raved and threatened the President played a full game of golf at the Chevy Chase Golf Club being entirely away from connections with Chicago Cabinet Scaalea Held The Cabinet meeting wss held at the usual hour XI o'clock departmental business being taken up and disposed of Vice-President Sherman' tic was more Interested In baseball than In politics Mr Sherman rode all night from Clinton to be in Washington tu attend the ball game to-day He yesterday delivered the address at the centtniiial celebration at Hamilton College In Clinton and took the flret train to Washington despite the fact mat the night was torrid didn't you stay through the celebration?" Mr Sherman was asked to-day Is the day the Washington bell club plays at home" replied ths Vice-President promptly couldn't miss that gams under any circumstances" Mr Sherman attended the game with President Taft and Secretary of State Knox The Vice-President called et th White House early to talk over convention politics with Mr Taft but the President had not reached the executive offices end Mr Sherman did not wait to see him is nothing Impnrtent anyhow" lie aald think It looks all light et Chicago I am perfectly satisfied with the way things are going" MERELY DEVICE FOR VOTE-GETTING Mrs Harper Says Colonel la Insincere in Advocating Woman Suffrage New York June Colonel Roosevelt's announcements that he la in favor of woman suffrage and that he wiu try to have a plank In the Republican platform favoring It If he Is nominated has been met hero wltn rejection ee It was in Ohio Mrs Ida Hus ted Harper who recently resigned Is chairmen of the press committee of the suffrage party has come out with an attack on the conversion end sh attributes the cnenge solely to his aim to seeuro ths votes of women In six Western States whtcr' are strongly Republican Against bis latest announcement for the suffraga movement Mrs Harper recalls his former statements and his refusal to even consider the question when It was brought befora him by suffrage leaders Mrs Harper says In a latter! 1 In the Far West may be so carried away by that spirit of 'Insurgency which dominates the men of those States as to blind to Mr Roosevelt's record on the woman suffrage question whllo President but It Is clear and well remembered by those east of tha Mississippi River It is in exact Haw With "hie record on tho tariff a blank During hia seven and a half years in the presidency he never uttered one word that could help thuso who were striving for the franchise although every appeal was made to him that was humanly possible Mies 8a an Anthony herself at the age of eighty-six Just a few months befora her death and before tha end of hie Second term laying her hand on hie arm and looking beseechingly into hie eyes begged him in hie last message to Congress to writs Just ons sentence favor of recognising woman's claim to a voice In tha government end ha would not do It Afterward officers oj the national association Mrs Upton among tnem mads their plea and asked him if a petition if 1000000 names would influence him Not one particle he answered brusquely and dismissed them with much discourtesy "Mr Roosevelt's article In the Outlook the suffragists regard aa an in suit beginning as It did: do not regard the movement as anything like as Important as either Its extrema friends or extreme opponents think It Is eo much less Important than many othar reforms that I have nev or been able to take a very headed Interest In It was four months ago How does It happen that all of a sudden he has become ao 'het up that ho wants to make a campaign for tha presidency on a platform containing a woman suffrage plank? The answer Is very simple At the November election nearly a million and a half women will be entitled to vote alx States that hr normally Rapubllcan Wyoming Colorado Utah Idaho Washington and California The more prominent affiong them have announced that they will give flret consideration to tho candidate's position on the question of woman suffrage In Jive othar states also normally Oregon Kansas Wisconsin Michigan Ohio (possibly ew campaigns will be in for woman suffrage constitutional amendments- and ouch-office as the woman have naturally will be given to the candidate who la on tneir side Mr Rooeewelt is too shrewd a poll- tlclan not to sea thu opportunity Freoldant Taft has failed to Vecognlse it although at heart he Is much more favorable to woman suffrage -than Mr Roosevelt gallon The American people he eald now have to pose not upon the abuse and scholarly speech concealed abopt him and ha moved eagerly forward when Chairman Rosewater gave him the signal and began to get out from under hie thoughts It may ba true as the attenuated negro speaker said that Mr Root la the greatest statesman In the world but I am here to state without fear of successful contradiction he Is not tha greatest orator in the world In fact there are a vast number of Journeymen orators orating around for small wages who can give him a running start of a peroration ten clseiicel allusions end IDurteen tuneful tropes and beat hint to a whisper Mr Root las a high and throaty vole and wh'le his thoughts ara couched in perfect Eng-lish and ara of a high grado at thoughts they do not penetrate more than sixteen feet from Mr Root while he le enunciating them Still considerable number of those present et the beginning observing that It waa too lato for dinner anyhow remained until the completion of thu keynote and cheered at appropriate interval The daymans clear that the Roosevelt partisans do not intend to eland for a nomination made uy a list of delegate that contains t-ey assert eighty names that are not entitled to be there What amounted to notice wee served on the convention by Johnson and Heney of California Fort and by Hadley that the Roosevelt men will belt at aueh time as they select if the roll le permitted to remain as the constant roll and tha eighty men kept on 1L The Roosevelt contention le that the eighty men are frauduently on tho roll that they ara not entitled to nominate or take any part In tha convention and that any nomination in which they participate must' necessarily bs tainted and not acceptable to the people Hence it seems reasonably certain there will a bolt two convention! and two nominations It Is understood that if the roll la purged of these eighty names and Roosevelt Is beaten the Roosevelt men will take their medicine and not bolt but as explained by Xtoosevelt leaders no nomination that Is helped In any way by thee delegatee against whom the Roosevelt men protest will be accepted by the Roosevelt men and there muat be another convention and another nomination Taft Men Determined The Teft men know all thle and they ere determined to push their man through If possible In ths face of an almost certain bolt Thera will ba a big light before the credential! Committee and that fight may be brought to the floor on a minority report where the while thing will be threshed out again Soonar or later If the Roosevelt men lone they win be fact to face with the proposition of walking out of the convention Their leaders say they will walk out at the proper time provided they loss So the highly complex situation le simplified to that degree' There has been a teat vote The Taft men won by a narrow margin but It must not be taken from this that the vote for Root shows the Taft strength or the vote for McGovern shows tho Roosevelt strength Root had votes that will not be for Taft on the first ballot and McGovern had votes that will net be for Roosevelt Both sides are still more or less In the woods and there ae comprom'ae owls hooting from many trees
