BY HIS CABINET:
_ i
Every Contest Before Commit-,

viewed, and Once More
Charge of Fraud and Bad
Faith Is Hurled at Col?
onel Roosevelt.
Washington. July 25.?A ktaiemcnt,
approved by President Taft, defending
his nomination by the Chicago conven?
tion, was mode public at the White
House to-day. It reviews every eon
test d'forc the Rcpublici:, National
Committee and the i redehtlaU commit?
tee of the convention, and asserts taut
< it'll contest was Battled logically upon
its merits Tlie statement was sub?
mitted to the Cabin, t at a recent meet?
ing ind received the approval of the
President's official fain.::.
The stateiner.t. which is it lengthy
document of 111 printed pages. i? ??
detailed denial of the charge that the
renomlnatlon f President Taft was
accomplished by the seating of fraudu?
lently elected delegates to the con?
vention it taVccs up Individually the
r3S contests instituted by the Koos? -
velt forces against Taft UvK-gaU-s wno
were seated, and presents eviden'? In
i ach of these cases to show that tne
Taft delegates were :?? S iiarly elected.
A resume of the statement, prepared
by Charles D. Hilles, formerly Presir
d. nt Taft s secretary and now chair?
man of the Republican National Com?
mittee, takes ?p c-cii contttt briefly.
Not In O.I f altb.
This resume opens with tie declara?
tion that the iloosevelt contests, as
originally hied before the national
eornmlttce were not Instituted ir. good
faith.
"The total number of ..olegatcs mm
moned to the convention." says tne re?
sume, 'warf 1,078. with 640 necessary
to choice. Mr. T-.fl had 56l votes on
the .'I'st and only ballot. and was
declared the nominee. Tr.ere were
Instituted against of the delcgal. s
regularly elected for Taft, contests on
behalf of Rooeevelt These contests
w.-re avowed'. instigated not for tne
purpose of really securing seats In tne
convention: not for. the purpose of ad?
ducing evidence w-hlch would lea ', any
respectable court to entertain the con
fits, but for the purpose of deceiving
the public Into the belief that Mr.
Roosevelt had more votes than he real?
ly had. as the conventions and pri?
maries were In progress fir the selec?
tion of delegates The 2j.? contests
wera reduced by abandonment, formal
or In substance, to seventy-four. Tne
very fact of these 164 frivolous con?
tents its-!:' reflects upon the genuine?
ness and validity of the remainder."
The resume then enumerates tie
contests. ..nd reviews the arguments in
each case. The review of tne evidence
In the contests embraced in the White
House st.iicmf r.t :z to by Vic
tftr Roiewater, chairman of the na
t.on.,! committee, and Thomas H. Dc
jvlne. chairmen of the credentials com?
mittee. As .in append, x. the state?
ment carries In detail the vote in tlse
national committee on each of the
? ontcsts, and a statement of the dates
of the Taft and Roosevelt conventions
in contested stales. Tne object of the
latter Is to show that the Iloosevelt
? gtaes were chosen after the regu?
lar conventions had named Taft repre?
sentatives.
I uHotlbr of Notice.
Another appendix Is the repor: cf
the credentials committee O iln cue
ventton. in which the st Hemer.: issued
by the Roosevelt commute. ir.?*n t.t
tacking the inability a', the committee
was answered. In disrass nil; the
i Large the report said:
"The statement as a whole In Its In?
sinuations of combinations of un?
worthy motive, in Us recital of al?
leged facts, is grossly and maliciously
untrue. It was Intended to c nvey
the Impression that the time for hear?
ing cases was so UmlteJ ;s to prevent
their being properly presented to the \
committee. The untruthClitlU'SH of this
statement 's Clearly shown by rne
records of the committee and '.he news?
paper reports of Its deliberation? Not
only did the rules make liberal pro
\ ision for time In presenting the cases,
but In every instance where the partlc.T
presenting the cases, or any member
? f the committee, asked fa.- an exteii- I
tlon f lime. It was granted."
The statement of the Roosevelt
members of the committee ijierted
that the speed with which tne creden?
tials committee brought In reports I
' made it evident that the reports had |
been prepared beforehand.'" In repl.'
to thlg statement tho appjd'x to the
White House statement said:
"In regard to the assertion that re
ports were prepared In advance of tho
action of the committee on ertden
tlals no one of the gentlemen who
makes this statement will state of nis
own personal knowledge that any re- i
ports were thus made.'"
In concluding, tho majority of the
crcdentails committee, defending its |
decisions, said:
"As to the. merits of these contested
cases upon which the committee pass

national committee, sat for fifteen days;
hearing evidence and argument upon

fifty-three only thirteen members of

I of the United Slates review the de- j
; clslon of the .Supremo Court of Kan?
sas In th? presldent'al primary case,
have aroisei interest of Republican j
political leaders he;e of all factions.!
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt, par-!
Ucularly Senator Brlstow, of Kansas. I
' are watching for developments In tlio
, case, and keeping a keen lookout for
the arrival of legal representatives of
the Taft champions !r. Kansas, who
may be coming to seek from some
justice of the Supreme Court an order
directing that the ca_e be reviewed
? Irrks .Vot Enjoined.
The Supreme Court of Kansas dc
? elded that It would not enjoin county
'clerks from printing ?n the prlm'ary
? ballots of August 6. under the name
,of ? Republican Party." the names cf
men who h:id declared they would vote
for Roosevelt.
It Is believed here that Instead of
I coming to Washington, the Kansas at
I torneys would go direct to a Justice
of the court, all of whom ar' away
from the capital.
, Any member of the court has the
power to issue an order, requiring the
Kansas Supreme Court to send the case
up for review, and to grant a re
staining order to prevent the names
being printed on the ballot until the I
.Supreme Co:rt of the Cnited States |
?has passed on the case. Logically, th
appllcat'on would be made to Justice
Van DeVahter. assigned to the circuit j
I In whlct Kansas is located, but he is'
jspcnd'ng his vacation In the mountains
j of New liamr>s.nire. Application might
[also he rr.ajje, It Is regarded here, to
Justice Day. now at Mackinaw, the
nearest of any of the justices to Kan?
sas!
. While a justice might feel himself,
empowered to Issue an order for the j
review, members of the court lately
have hesitated to take that respon?
sibility, where momentous questions !
delicately balanced were Involved.
Chief Justice White referred the appli?
cation to the entire court when an ap?
plication for similar relief was made!
in the "beef trust case" last winter. ;
Such action would he equivalent to a '
denial of the application In this case.
It Is pointed out ns the primary would !
be over before the court could act |
in October, Its next date of meeting.
Never has a case similar to that!
which hap arisen In Kansas been be?
fore the Supreme Court. The last time j
the court was called to pass upon a|
I contest over presidential electors was]
i In IS?;, when a bitter cohtroverysy I
over the manner of selecting electors]
In Michigan came up for decision. |
There an order of review was grant
ed. and by advancing the case for con- i
sldcratlon on the first day of the- Oc?
tober term the court disposed of the |
case before the November election.
Tbe Question Involved.
In the Michigan case the question]
Involved was the validity of a statute
requiring the selection of presidential
electors by congressional districts !n
! stead of by the State as a unit. Chief
j.Justice fuller, In announcing the de?
cision of the court, said the question
I was a judicial and not a political one. >
Inasmuch as it involved the validity
'of a statute under the Federal Con- I
[stltutlon. He held thai the State)
Legislature had exclusive jurisdiction
over the manner of appointing elec-I
tors, and that these electors were no I
more officers of the Federal govern-1
' ment than members of the Legislature j
I when electing t'nlted State s Senators, j
'lie added that the long custom of se?
lecting electors by the State as a unit;
Jdid not change the Constitution po |
1 that they must he elected in thrit man
j ncr.
Under a stipulation < r.tered 'nto to. j
I night by opposing attorneys In the
presidential electors case, county clerks!
are restrained from printing the Re-j
publican primary ballots until Th?rs- :
jday nt least.
The stiplatlon was prepared by r>.
1 R. Hlte, for the Taft forces, and C on

Governor Stubbs. The stipulation pro
vldes that no preparatiem for the pri

DECREE NOT REPEALED
Mixed Marriage. Mill Forbidden Ex?
cept by Consent.
Rome. July 2S.?The report that the
Pope- has repealed the decree "Ne
Temere'! >s absolutely unfounded, nor
is It I'kely e-.e-r to be revoked, as It
embodies provisions which have guv
e i ned the church procedure for two
centuries. It Is probable that the m s
undersiahdlng with respect to the re?
peal : tr.e decree arose through the
.- ispens'on of the provision relating to
mixed marriages in Germany and Hun?
gary. The other provisions of the
"No Temere," however, are In full
force In thoso two countries, while
in the United Stat?s and England all
provisions of the decree without ex?
ception are still In force. Thus, a
marriage between Catholic and Prot?
estant without tho sanct'on of the
parish priest Is null. It is declared
that possibly the Cnltefl Slates and
England may later obtain a change in
that provision.

Adopted.
Oyster Bay. N. y? July 3S?A work-,
ing program for the new party was
approved to-day by Colonel Roosevelt, j
Senator Dlxon. his campaign manager,
w-ho has recently been In consultation 1
with leaders of the movement, came '>
Oyster Bay to lay their views before'
the former President. After a long
conference. It boram? known that the
fundamental question ->f pol'cy av.d I
procedure had been agreed upon silo- :
Ject to approval of the national pr >?
gresslvc convention, which ts to meet
In Chicago next week The pre.gr.in. j
; which will be submitted to the c in?
vention, contains these major provi?
sions:
Independent tickets In every State. I
except perhaps sin. In which It is .
believed the Republican organizations;
can be taken over bodily.
l>re:ik to be ( empiric.
' A clean break from both of the
old parties, the Republican organiza?
tions which It Is expected to capture.:
I to be used as an Integral port'on of
: the new party.
Formation of the party with the
Idea that It Is to endure permanently,
whatever the outcome of tse NoVembei
j election.
Senator Dlxon sa'd. after he had
talked with Colonel Roosevelt, that
' straight national progressive tickets
would be run In every State except
1 a few 'n whtch the Republican organ
I tations would co-operate with the new
party und place Roosevelt randldat
! for electors on the regular ticket. Th's
i will be possible In States In which
the law does not require the names of
Taft and Sherman to be printed on the
I ballot as the R.ipubllcan nominees.
The Hates In which there will be no
independent tleket. he said, are Kan?
sas. Nebraska. California, both the Da
j kotar. and probably one er two others.
Senators Albert .1 Beverldge, of In
'diana. he said, probable will he tho
national progressive candidate for
; Governor of that State
"Mr. Beverldgo will be elected tlov- .
i ernor." the Senator predicted. "Ho |
will carry Michigan. Illinois and Penn-'
! sylvania." |
Ready for Coaveatloo.
1 it was felt that ai definite outline
should be ready for submission t-> the
Chicago convention, nnd It was largely
j for this reason that Senator Dlxon
came on from Chicago for the confer
' ence.
In making up the independent tlck
? ets In various States candidates on
either the Republican or Democratic
tickets may be placed on the ballet,
provided t'r.ey agree to support the na?
tional progressive electoral candidates
In several states, including Pennsyl?
vania, It Is expected the entire Re?
publican ticket for State officers will
he placed on the national progressive
j ticket.
Insistence upon making the party
i entirely independent Is In accordance
. with the wishes of Coionel Roe>sev.-|t.
! who Insists that he and his associate s
must appeal to Democrats and Repub
I llcans alike, and look be yond the pres?

Washington. July 2S.?A recoramcn-*
datlon favoring tho legalization and
regulation of big Industrial con:erns,
I instead of their dissolution, will bo
i submitted to the House to-day in a ro
pori bv throe Republican memhers or
the Steel Investigating Committee.
; The report Is signed by Representative
C'.rdner. of Massachusetts; Young, of
'Michigan, and Danforth, of New York.
! Representative Young will submit an
additional statement, and Representa?
tive sterling, of Illinois, who b-llevea
tri dissolving the big combinations, will
'submit n separate report.
The report advocates the creation of '
an Interstate commission of industry
to he clothed with extensive powers of
regulations, and with power to fix rea?
sonable prices for tho output of cor?
porations. The report would requlr-a
that all corporations capitalized, nt
$50,006,060 or more operate under a
charter to be Issued bv tno United
States beforo engaging In interstate
commerce. Smaller eorpira.tlor.a might
avail themselves of the federal char?
ter at their own option.
Approves liruudcln BUI.
All corporations availing themselves
ot the 1 n'ted States charter would ha
recapitalized at their .TStunl value.
The report commends the wo.'k of the
Bureau of Corporations. It also ap?
proves tho so-called Rnndeis bill,
which would transfer the burden of
proof to defendant corprVratloc.s 10

the Republicans say:
"The principles contained In the bills
drafted by the majority are distinctly
I worthy of commendation, and we givu
them our approval. But If the policy
j of dissolution favored by tha majority
Iis to he pursued, much additional leg?
islation Is required before proper dis?
solution can be obtained. This logis
Ilotion the majority has scarcely out
! lined."
i Tili- Republican members make It
j plain that the report is not an expres
I slon of Republican .policy, or dictated
by th.- Republican administration, In?
sisting that the committee members
stand on their own bottom In enunci?
ating their views.
steel Trust Not Spared.
The report does not sparo the steel
trust or Its organizers J. P. Morgan
& C.v. are credited with a profit of
500."do for underwriting the organisa?
tion of the United Stales, Sieel Cor?
poration. Labor conditions In tne
steel mills are declared t* tb? baa. and
a suggestion Is made to tho corpora?
tion to improvo them by working mIR
hands in eight instead of twelve-hour
1 shifts. The report thus summarizes
its findings:
"The corporations was cnptlalize 1 at
11,400,000,000, of which nearly one
half w.is 'water.'
"The average annual earnings of tha
corporation have been from 11 to \i
pel cent, on the actual value of Its
assets.
The corpotatlon controls a little
j1. er one-half the crude and finished
steel business of the United States.
"The average wholesale price ot
steel production ,:<.s fallen off since
the corporation was organized.
If "The corporation and all tho Inda,
pendents have an understanding as to
prices
"The system of Interlocking direc?
torates lias insidious consequences end
facilitates 'inside management' and the
shifting of competition.
"The situation as to Iron-ore supply
is crave- and may become menacing.
"Labor conditions in certain depart?
ments of the steel Industry are bad."
Many recommendations are submlt
j ted. although no bills have been pre?
pared Tho working out of the plan
contemplated Is left to tho future. Tho
I minority epitomizes Its recommenda?
tions as follows.
"All corporations exceeding i?a.O.vrt.
