apolls was selected as tho crux of the
cases. Its representation In the State
convention that elected Harry S. New,
Charles W. Fairbanks, James E. Wat
son, and Joseph Dollver, delegatea-at-large
numbered 134. Of these the ma
Jorlty were Taft men.
The Itoosevelt contestants insisted
that repeating was rife. They claimed
that they were denied representations
'at the ward primaries; that ballots were
, not counted at ail in many Instances,
but that false figures were arrived at
by the election boards; that bands of
negro repeaters were hurried from poll
ing place to polling place to vote for
the Taft delegation whilo "strong-arm"
methods were in force in many in
stances. Because of this the contestants, Albert
J. Beverldge, Edwin M. Lee, Fred Lan
dls, and Charles II. Campbell, demanded
that thev be seated.
Based on Indianapolis.
In the brief filed on behalf of the
Taft delegates-at-largo the following
contentions were made:
The contestants' claim is based almost
wholly on the fact that the Indianapo
lis primaries were fiadulent. Indianap
olis is in Marlon, county which consti
tutes the Seventh Congressional district.
The delegates from Marlon county,
elected at the primaries to the State
convention consisted of 128 who wefe
fcr Taft and six who were for Roose
velt. Originally 100 of these were con
tested. Tho delegates were elected bv
fifteen wards from Indianapolis and
from townships outside. The largest
ward had fourteen delegates and the av
erage was eight to a ward. Under the
call of the State committee delegates
to the State convention met by dis
tricts the night before the convention
and each district was required to elect
one member of a committee on cre
dentials, which committee was to sit as
tyion as Its members were elected.
Ten members of this committee of
thirteen were elected without contest,
and Immediately organized by electlm,
n chairman and secretary Trom each
of the Third, Sixth, and Eleventh diA
trlcts, two delegates appeared, claiming
to have been elected members of tlu
committee on credentials. The commit
tee on credentials as oigauized heard
the evidence, and In the uiitq of th-
lhird and Sixth districts, seated thn
Taft delegates, and from the Eleventn
seated the Roosevelt delegates.
Decisions Were Split.
"The committee then proceeded to
hear cldmce on the contests. It re
ported to the convention that thp 1W
delegates from Marion county who had
proper credentials, but whoBe scats were
contested, were entitled to s't In the
convention. As to the other contests
some were decided for t!ie Taft anil
pome for the Rooseelt delegates. These
other contests, howeer, nero so few
nd the number of dclegattb Involved
so small, as not to affect the resolution.
"Eight of the committee icported n
faor of recognizing the Taft delegates
from Marlon county whose siatf- were
contested and five presented n minority
rtpoit In faor of the Rooseelt cot -testants.
The majorltv icpiesentatlve of the
committee wan laid on the table and the
majorltj rule adopted b a committee
of 105. Complaint was mde that the
pitting delegates from Marion county
were permitted to vote on adopting the
majority leport, but no appeal was
taken fiom thp ruling of the chair that
Ibex wete tntltlcd to ote, and no ap
peal was taken to the State committee
as renulied In the tule of the party
organization In the State.
"The bolting onenton was held In a
coiner of the hall and was attended bv
not more than 1X1 of the delegutcs. of
whom not more than JO participated In
the proceeding. These Sn delegates at
tempted In elect the contestants who
are now claiming to he the regular del-rgates-at-lutge
from Indiana.'

Insisting that he did not believe thai

that he favored hearing California at

"The chair so rules," said Rosewater,
"and they will remain there unless this

Hnd if they need California, Oregon,

That Is the plan. Perhaps there will

Is the plan at this moment In Rny

delegates for the time being demon
strates that thi-re nre extremes to

McKlnley was exasperated beyond

not hold his force for tho rough work
In hand.
He yielded, according to toda.v's
story, only w hen he found that If hi
didn't yield gracefully his own steam

Then he gave way.

Sees Volcanoes In Action.
An hour before the committee met
Governcr Stubbs of Kansas was talking
to a group of friends.
"I fee bv the papers this morning that
n row of volcanoes has blown In
Alaska." said a newspaper man.
"Yes. so do 1, ' ictorted the governor.,
Instantly, "and volcanoes win lie mow

top of the rest thev are grabbing.
"Returns nre coming In today from

"Two da.vs ago the flint whispered,

Roosevelt delegations In California and
South Dakota. Each was elected under
a State primary In California b.v 72.000

Alarmed By Protests.
"Nothing matters. This Job had got
to be pulled and the steam roller en
gineers bent every desperate nrgy to
hold their machln together for It. But
the voice of the country made itself
heard. Telegrams and lttters came by
hundreds to committeemen who had
Joined the Taft forces, warning them
that If they staid through this Infamous
programme they had better live abroad
Instead of going back home.
Poople by the thousands throughout
the progressive States adjacent to lowa

ar thus far unable to meet.
"It Is a nrairle fire that the Taft ma
chinists didn't anticipate. They ale
stricken with fear."
Their one and onlv reliance was the
national committee They have not
dared to claim that they could win
without the delegates from two to

overwhelmingly carried. They have

ARMY BILL OPENS
Mr. Lodge Objects to Provis
ion That Would Bar Gen
eral Wood and Others.
The battle over the army bill began
In the Senate this afternoon. It gives
every promise of being a warm engage
ment before it Is finished.
Senator Lodge started the matter by
protesting against the conference report
on the armv bill He objected that the
bill was loaded down with new legisla
tion. He especially objected to the pro
vision which conferees put In, which
would disqualify Gen. Leonard Wood,
General Crozler, General Funston, and
a number of other officers from serving
as chlef-nf-staff.
He declared this provision was not
only new legislation, but that it was
neither in the House bill nor In the Sen
ate bill.
"Legislation of this soit, declared
Senator Lodge, "would have rendered
ineligible to serve as chlef-of-ataff all
but four of the nineteen commanders
of the American army, who have served
since General Washington.
lie mentioned such names among those
who would have been excluded, as Wln
fleld Scott. 8herldan. McClelland. Meade,
Itobert K. lee, IJeauregard, Joe Wheel
er, and a number of others. He de
clared the provision would disqualify
most of the members of the Engineer
Corps.
Senator Warren warmly defended the
bill He declared there never had been
a bill carrying on the annronilatlons
that come (rom the House which did
not canv legislation. He manifested
considerable feeling In the matter. So
did Senator Lodge, it Is apparent that
a neateo discussion, and probably sev
eral of them, will occupy the Senate
before this question Is disposed of.
"Nobodv understood," said Senator
lyidg- in the course or his remarks,
"that new legislation would be put in
111 conference And this was done"
in the course of a running contro
veisv In which Senators Lodne. War
ren, and du Pont parlclpated, Senator
uodge cnaigen mat tne provision with
reference to the chief of staff was
aimed at Gen Leonard Wood.
benator warren indicated tnere was
no purpose to deprive General Funston
of tho office, and pointed out that If It
was desired to appoint him a resolution
could be put through which would
quallf) him
Senator Warren contended that thp
piovislon did not affect li.e nrcsent ten
ure or ueneral wood as his term of
office would expire March 4, 1913. and
the provision would not become opera
tive until March 5, 1913 Senator du
Pont Interrupting Senator Lodge to
make a statement in defense of the con
fereec, declared tho nrovlslon had no
bearing on General Wood's case. He
admitted however, that while General
Wood s term would end March 4. 131M.
with the end of the Administration, he
could lie reappointed and serve thlrtee-n
months longer were It not for the lan
guage which had been put Into the con
ference report.
Senator Lodge spoke further Jn de
nunciation of the attempt to disqualify
General Wood, following the statement
of Senator du Pont.
