Telegram by Vnited Prrss.
Chicago, June 19. After the invoca
tion by Rabbi Stolz this morning Hoot
announced that the unfinished busi
ness was the Hartley amendment and
stated that the agreement for divls
lon of time or one hour mid a haK
for each side for arguments had been
r?tiehed.
Hartley Immediately opened for the
Itiwwevelt forces, hut on the advice, of
frank Kellogg HooheveW decided th it
he wouldn't let Hartley talk. Helloes;
Mid Hartley would bp a detriment to
KooMrvcli, ag hp criticised the ruling

peventy eight delegates wrongfully
placed on the temporary roll. We

miu The Q'les'ion affects the very
txistenre of the party. They stole
the action of the committee. "
W, T. Doweil Of Seattle reidied for
the Taft men, taking up the Wash
ington contest. He said the day the
Washington convention was held
n.MiM.-n-!t iinr!-i (hut g pmn was on
fiml to Meal tin? state from him and
said the statement was false, that
Room-veil never carried ihe state, lie
(barged that the Roosevelt men bolted
when they Haw they couldn't control
the state convention.
Flinn li Called Down,
Former .Senator Hymen ay of In
diana discussed the Taft side of the
Indiana entires Kltnn phou'H. "They
are only paper contest," and llemcn
way cited the Itoosevelt, (statement re
garding Alabama, saying tho Colonel
only expected to get one delegate or
no, the other contests being merely
on paper, for the purpose of crying
fraud.
Flinn shouted to Hemenway repeat
edly, "How about Penrose ?" and Hem
enway replied, "It's Penrose above
Flinn every time.
Root had to rebuke Flinn. who
climbed Into a chair and shouted
through a megaphone. Root pointed
Ma gavel at Flinn and held hitn out
of order, ordering him to sit down.
Fltu.l then subsided.
Hemenway said Cecil Lyons bad
driven five sixths of the Republicans
out of the puny in Texas, so he could
reduce the pt-ty W only office hold
ers and retain his control He sail
tho convention should no longer stand,
for his fraurtH.
Allen Provokes a Tumult.
H"tiry J. Alien af Kaunas, for the
Roosevelt forces, swayed the conven
tion,, saying statement or Hoot, that he
liked best was, "We will keep the
covenant of our fathers." He said
that covenant, was between the weak
and the strong, and referred them to
tho Washington delegates, who, he
said, were regularly elected, but ruled
out ty the national committee without
consideration on their merit.
During Allen's talk the Colorado del
egates demanded, "Will you support
tho nomineu of this convention?" A
wi'.d Btonu of protest filled' the hall
and Allen answered, "I won't support
the nominee of this convention more
than any one else will support tho
nominee If he secures the nomination
dishonorably, with fraud and thiev
ery." Roosevelt men jumped to their feet
with a loud cheer. A point of order
was raised and Root ruled the Inter
ruption out of order. He 3ald there
must be fair play on all sides.
S ecial to The. Expresa.
Cihcago, June 19. When the con
vention resumed Its session at 11
o'clock today, the Roosevelt forces
were congregated yesterday. Tho
weer outgeneraled yesterday. The
choice of MeGovern as the candidate
for chairman proved an error, as It
brought out a bitter feud between the
Lal'ollette and Itoosevelt forces.
before convening this morning bolt
talk was feeble. A continuation or
the fight on the "s'ob.n roll" was or
dered by Roosevelt today. By the
terms of an armed truce, it was agreed
that (iov. Hartley lie granted the floor
to make a motion for a substitute roll
when the appointment of the creden
tials committee came up.
Whether there was to be 9 fight to
tho finish or nether the Roosevelt
forces would bolt was the problem be
fore the convention when It was call
id to order today.
Tho Roosevelt cai was divided,
leaders who said they didn't care who
was nominated bo long as progressive
principles were adhered to, favored
continuing the fight and professional
politicians counsel a bolt.
With this si' nation the Talt men
declared they held the lead and would
nominate their man.
Dark Horse Undercurrent.
There appears to be a strong under
current f r a dark horse. Just what
the oukome will be will likely be
shown by the vote to purge the roll
this afternoon. The vote is expected
to be about 4 o'clxk, though it may
take (wo hours to call the roll.
Ciicompromjing Taft leaders hope
that Roosevelt will bolt and are cer
tain then that Taft will be nominated
by the delegates remaining.
Proposed Taft Platform.
The chief points in the proposed
Taft piaiioim were made known to
rtav. It rea! firms that "we believe in
tho constitution" and opposes "chr.ra
ing or overturning our form of gov
ernment." It declares for progre.-fh'e
statesmanship, against child labor, for
adequate woikmeu's compensation
legislation, and a comprehensive con
servation program. It la against the

Camp .Webb Neal, June 17. The
scouts bivouacked the first night at
Rocky Ledgo, on the Washita, just be
low the n uth of the Little Washita
on the land of our esteemed fellow
hunter and townsman, Ed. Rurney. We
named this Control Camp Webb Neal
In honor of our friend and benefactor,
who so kindly loaned us a most excel
lent camp hack and camping outfit. In
this connection we desire to express
our thanks to Mr. H. T. Bettis of the
Williamson-Halflell-Frasier (Jrocery
Co. and Bob Richards, the champion
horseshoe pUcher of the world and
manager of the Waples Platter Grocery
Co. for groceries and supplies furnibh
ed, and Mr. Myron Humphrey for horse
feed and flour furnished our scout
quartermaster.
By unanimous vote of the scouts
these gentlemen are elected honorary
members of our organization.
Shortly after establishing camp
Quartermaster Neal was making a re
connoiter with a detachment to find
a suitable place for the hoop nets and
throw lines, when from out of the
rocks, and unobserved a whangdoodle
sprang upon him. Fortunately Scout
Xeal had his jackknife in his hand
ant'... vas about to cut a pole for a
throw when attacked. The affray was
fast and furious and 'before his com
rades could come' to hia rescue lie had
dispatched tho whangdoodle.
In the encounter Scout Neal receiv
ed an ugly wound in his right wrist.
but his Injury was promptly dressed
by Dr. Nina Johns and at Una time the
scout is resting nicely.
We refrain from mentioning the size.
of the monster for fear the parents oj
the scouts will become alarmed. Wa
undersnd that our prospective sec
ond camp is infested -with wampua.
cats, whangdoodles, mountain boom
era and whirligigs, but tell your read
ers to have no fear, as tho scouts ara
well organized, the camp In well pa
rolled and every precaution Is takers
against the lurking dangers that seem
to be on every hand.
After a light lunch, composed prin
cipally of boneless ham, furnished by,
Jack Hopkins of Hopkins' meat mar
ket, the scouts repaired to tho watei
with a big 80 foot seine and found, ta
our disgust, it was made for men anil
not for boys. Three drags were mada
with the net result of one small min
now. The hoop net was a water haul
and throw line was nit, so we will
close this report by saying the fishingj
was bum, but tt : fter fine. .

Outcome Is Uncertain.
Chicago, June 19 Taft and Roose
velt leaders burned the midnight oil
Tuesday night analyzing again and
again the first test of the Republican
national convention with respect to
its bearing on the Republican presi
dential nomination.
It was inevitable that conflicting
claims should be put out from the two
headquarters- claims far in excess of
the bedrock figures, which the leaders
are attempting to Keep a close secret
within their Inner councils.
Tuesday's first record line-up of
delegates was fur from convincing.
So much so, in fact, that predictions
wer freely ninde on all sides Tuesday
, night that neither Taft nor Roosevelt
was likely to win on the first ballot.
This sort of talk necessarily led to a
widening of the gossip about a com
promise and a 'dark horse." Taft
forces elected Senator Hoot temporary
chairman by IS more than a majority
of the 107S delegates in the conven
tion. It was realized from the first
that the vole of P'iiator Root, bow
ever, would not reflect tho actual
strength either of Mr. Taft or Mr.
Itoosevelt.
At one conference of the Taft lead
ers Tuesday night it wua said that
they hart scab"! down and cut out the
doubnul votes from the Root total and
their final analysis showed 2 votes
for the president, two more than
(Hough to nuluiliaU;. Kwn these fig
ures it was said, included a "lew wob-
bly" delegates.
The Roosevelt leaders frankly were
surprised at th-. Root vote and claim
ed they expected him to poll bet ween
,"7,") and ,'i.so votes. They proieosed
last niuht to he jubilant, hut it was
impossible for them to figure out a
paper majority for the Colonel.
Root Chosen Chairman.
Convention Hall, Chicago, June 19.
The final vote that srvo Ron! a ma
jority for temporary chairman was
cast hv Patrick Hallomn of the first
district of Was-ir.nyjon. When the
solid (telega' ion was recorded for
Root, giving him tho full II delegates,
pandemonium broke loose in the hail.
The New York delegation yelled and
cheered and endeavored in vain to
raise the heavy Iron standards bear
ing the state banner. With the Wash
ington vote recorded. Root had ell
votes, four over a majority.
When the vote was concluded Wil

next strongest candidate.

paign leader for Gov. Wilson, tuuk

Tonight and Thursday, fair
and warmer.
With the city hall crowded las6
night, the audience being pretty well
divided between Socialists and non
Soclalists, Elder U. G. Wilkinson and.
Rev. G. G. Hamilton put on their joint!
discussion. J. L. Wilenton, editor ot
the Rush Springs Herald, presided.
over the meeting and introduced tlia
speakers.
The proposition to be debated was,
"Socialism io fundamentally right and,
is a remedy for present social and eco
nomic evils," Hamilton affirming-. Fod
over two hours the two sneakers v,ent
"round and ron.n," affording the crowdl
plenty of entertainment, principally olj
a oerio-couiie character.
In his opening speech Hamilton do
fined Socialism as the system where
by "things that are socially used shall
be socially owned and democratically!
managed." He did not attempt to en
large on the definition and to explain
the workings of the system and bo
yond bare assertions offered no argu
ment in support of his proposition, lit
dwelt at length upon evils ot tha
present system, which ho attribute!
wholly to economic causes.
In replying Wilkinson first observ
ed that It was up to his opponent t
prove tiie affirmative side of the ques
tion and that he had failed to offer
any proof. He assailed the fundamen
tal doctrine of Socialism that ciu
nrtinte CHUSflq Woro fit thn ffrf ff 11
social evils, asserting that, "man Bbn'l
not live by bread alone." "Sin and
crime," said he, "are the greatest"
aucial evils and they are Lot cauacl
by economic conditions. The greatest
slavery is that of the bodily passions
Men of corrupt, intemperate Biimlj
cannot be free." The speaker read
from Bebel's "Woman" and drew th-i
conclusion that Socialism waa oppos
ed to religion and the mouogauiij
family.
Early in the action ihe talkfer.t, for
such it was, with little of tho element j
