TAFT IN MESSAGE
Says Results in Other States
Would Be Same but
for Fraud.
ORHP3.V9BITRO, Pa.. April lO.-Col.
Theodore Roosevelt In a telegram ssnt
to-day to Madlll MoCormlok on the Illi
nois election said:
"I am not only deeply appreciative of
the honors that Illinois hae done me,
but 1 realize fully the burden of oblleta-
tlon such an expression of the confidence
of the people puts upon tne. It hi not a
victory tor me; primarily It la a viotory
for clean and straight governmental
methods and for genuine popular gov
ernment and for the oauae of social and
Industrial justice.
"Moreover It Is a stinging ree-uke to
the alliance between crooked rjussasas
an. I bosses In alliance -with special prlv
llere to thwart the will of the people by
the scajidulous abuse of the Federal pa
tron ige and the use of other methods
even more questionable, Including vio
lence and the most shameless frauds.
"It Is these las; methods alone which
have enabled our opponents to secure
- es without one shadow of title
In Indiana, and It Is these methods to
which they are at this moment resort
ing In the effort to override trw will of
"ie people In Mlohlgan and Kentucky.
In Illinois the people had the chance
i apeak for themseilves. In Indiana,
Michigan and Kentucky the result I
would have been precisely the same If'
the same ciiance for expression had
been priven the people.
"1 doubt whether there Is a single
Congressional district In any one of
these three States where the people are
not with us. I -believe that every single
delogate against us In those three States
will misrepresent the people behind him.
Ileyond question of all delegates who
may be recorded against us from these"
three States the majority will represent
nothing but successful fraud. Illinois Is
not only a magnificent Illustration of
the genuine expression of popular Judg
ment when thu people are given the
rhance to manage their own affairs, hut
l also a signal proof at how the people
of Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky
would express themselves If an honest
opportunity were given them. Even un
der the present system all three States
are ours, and In etch of them the dele
gates will be two to one In our favor
unless there condonation of the most
bare-faced frauds.

(Special from a Staff Correspondent of The livening World.)
ROCHESTER, N. Y., April 10. Although he Republican party
of the State tentatively instructed the four delegates-at-large and th
eighty-six district delegates for Taft In closing hours of the conven
tion this afternoon, influential leaders of the party do not regard the In
structions as binding in a political sense. They consider that, if the bat
interests of the party should dictate the nomination of another at Chicago
in June, the instructions issued by the Rochester convention may be dis
regarded, inasmuch as they are construed to carry only a moral obli
gation. ;
The Roosevelt followers look upon the instructions as a subterfuge
for the sake of expediencv. The Republican leaders who do not believe
Taft can be re-elected are hoping that another man may come out of tie
background between now and June on whom the delegates of the Em
pire State may centre their support
The convention was stand pat and reactionary from start to finish.
The Republican party is still split wide open on many important issues.
The Rochester convention, taken in connection with the Illinois primaries,
has spread a Republican chill.
Leaders of the organisation, talking
for publication, say the convention will
be a great help toward harmony.
Speaking privately, they deplore the
feeling, so manifest to-day, that the
rank and file are certainly not united
on Taft and are widely divided on the
pollutes enunciated In the State plat
form. BOSSES' ELATE WENT THROUGH
