"I wanted to button up Judge Arch

ALLEGED CONSPIRATORS DENY STORIES
OF PLOTIING SOME JOBS IN DEIRIT
IDAHO COURT ANGRY
OVER ALLEGED
CONTEMPT
NEWSPAPER MEN WHO PRINTED
ROOSEVELT STATEMENT MUST
DEFEND THEMSELVES.
Boise, Idahi. Dec. 10.-The pub
lisher and ediltor of the Capital News
will have t, explain, the supreme
court of Idaho ruled today, why they 1
should not be punished for contempt
in giving publicity to Colonel Roose
velt's views on a decision of the court
which had the effect of keeping the
Roosevelt plresidential electors off the
R. S. Sheridan, the publisher, and
('. O. iroxon, managing editor, file!l
a demurrer yesterday. This was over
ruled today and the defendants were
given 10 days in which to answer the
citation.*
It has been Intimated by the court
that Colonel R.oosevelt might be sub
jected to the same treatment as the
newspaper men who published his
statement if he were in the state, and
prominent progressives have written
to himn urging him to meet the issue
by visiting Idaho.
The defendants demurred to tile
citation on the ground that the in
formation did not state facts sufficient
to constitute criminal conempt; that
the court had no jurisdiction because
the information was brought in the
name of the attorney geperal instead
of the name of the state and because
c the allegedl offense did not constitute
an offense under the laws of Idaho.
In ruling upon the demurrer the
t court said:
"The court will announce the con
t clusions we have reached upon the de
n murrer, and the opinion will be pre
t pared later. The court holds that the
d information states a cause of action
for contempt; that the case is properly,
y entitled and that the attorney general
n is the proper person to bring it: that
the case is properly entitled and that

but the ,xploisiios were post.poned be
us('tileS \w\'ltltiester "talked too

the dynamite conspirtc y trial today.
t 'Ross had Ibee(n sulmmone.t d from Ha- t

t stated prevliisly that, at Herbert 8.
IHockin's instruictlons, he had gone to
De)troit with a. suitcase filled with
nitro-glycerini' to blow up i non-union
job, but that Hockin suddenly had
"called It off." Ross said that after
\Vachtmtister had talked too much, ,he
(Ross) was called to a meeting of
e union officials, including Frank J.
e Murphy and Clarence E. Dowd, and
asked whether he was not a spy for
't non-unioln c,,n tractors.
1. saidl later he dictated to 1William
SH. Quigleyt a letter to Hiram Cline,
Stluntic, Ind., organizer for the car
i penters' lunion, calling off tlhe explos

e Quigley denied today iet ever had
written the letter, and when the gov,
Sernntent produced what purported to

it in his htndwritlng.
Lt The letter said that Wachtmeister
0 had been drinking and was "flashing l
e the century," meaning a $100 ibill al-]
d leged to have been paid him for ex- t

. \Several other witnesses who sanid
they were present at the meeting re

Construction of State's Law Which Eliminated Progressive Electors
From the Ticket Meets With Strong Condemnation---Party
Should Pay Fine of the Newspaper Men Who
Published the Criticism of the Judges.
Chicago, Dec. 10.--Theodore Roose- o
volt and George W. Perkins of New a
York were the leading figures' today
at the national conference of the pro- a
gressive party. n
Mr. Rloosevtelt, digressing fromn a It
prepared address, made a vigorous at- tH
tack on the Idatho supremeo court for t
its decision in tlthe recent cnmpllaign
regarding presidential electors.
Mr. Perkins took the center of t ile
stage when it tbecame known that ctr- rt
tain of hIls fellow plrgressives had s,
started a Illmvtivit itt to oust hi front ti
the national iexecutiv commlllitntee e- re
caUSe tof his former corpotrtion con- e
nections.
Colonel lRoosevelt tiook up the fight
for Mr. Perkins. Pointing out Mr.
Perkins and calling hit by itttntie. Mr.
Roosevelt declared that the New York
financier ts ontie of thi meIn ie \\was
proud to have as a fellow wovirkter int
the pirogressive paIllrty.
Latter in the day Mr. Perkins malllde
a steech in which het asserted tltt
always hie Ihod been for progressive
measures and that lie resented any
Intimation that he was merely a con
vert to the cause. n

In Idaho.
Taking up the Idaho suplrenmelt court
decision, Colonel Roosevelt said: t
"I lave been asked by J. H. Gilson,
progressivei state chairtit n itt Itdailo,
on his behalf, to present to ytiu, i n.a
few words, a concrete illustratilon in t
which the court has dltne the grenit
est injustice to the petople iand is soIei
ing to do a worse injustitr.
"In Idaho the electiol hl\\ maike
no provision for the election of presi
dential electors, no provision at all.
The -suprento court ruled soi :Is to
permnit the republican and temocralli
electors being put oin tie tictkit lIy\
construlng a provision, whlich ltriviti'
for the election of constable s andtl
othter officers, to Include Itreshhintltil
electors. I think they were quilt :
right In such a construction; iI wtas
a very loose cnstruction, but netes
sary.
"But when it came to the progrea-e
. ive party, theyo mtade the tightest t
kind of a tight.,oonstructton. They
construed that the .progressive plarty
could not get op the ticket, beealuse,
under the resolution provitding ftr
nonminations by petitions, the hight-st
number of votes declared to the nee-
essa.ry for thie iostabisltinetnt o(f a
ticket by petition was 300 Ill tilt. caste
of state officials.
Not State Officials.
"They dcnclared that the electlors
were not state officials andt tthat,
therefore, the republican and denio
cratic electors celluld go on ithi ticket
unlder the provision which Iermitted
the election of constablles aind other
officers, yet they held that the pro
gressive ticket could not be nolninlited
S ity petition because the higi(st ntiuii
her of votes necessary to nominate byt ,
0 petition was 3011 for state officials.
They said the electors were tnot state
IS officlials.
"The suprenme coiurt of the !nitedti
States lhas held mltotre thanll otnce thait
] prsaldential electillr were not in-t
tional offtcials. It wats distinctly
held that, although thley exercised a
function In national politics, the)y ex
ercised it exactly as legislators did
who elected a UInited Staltes seinalr.
So the supreme court of the natiionl
said they are not nationol otfficints
and the supremie court of Idaho said
they were not sltte officials.
"I defy any htonest and Intelligtlnt
m1lam to read that slbscrlipilon of the
Sslluprelme court of Idllaho and cmparlllllr
