TO BE CHEATED OUT OF IT
LITTLE HONESTY AMONG COM
MITTEEMEN, HE SAYS.
By Associated Prase.
Chicago, June 17 On the eve of the
Republican national convention, Col.
Rooeevelt tonight diecloaed the line of
attack he will make. He laid down two
principles. He aaid the delegatea whoae
selection he conteate murt not vote in
the organization of the convention or
upon the Battlement of contests, and
made it clear he would reaiat it. He
diclared no action of the -convention,
breed upon the votes of these "fraud
ulently aeated delegatee would'be bind
ing upon the Republican party."
It waa at the Rooaevalt rally at the
Auditorium that Rooaevalt made the
challenge. Facing the cheering throng
that packed the big building, Rooaevalt
made fighting apeeoh and hla hearera
were In fighting mood. They oheer
ed him on a he denounced hla oppon
ent a, and ahouted te him! "Go at
them, Teddy," "Knock out the ateam
roller," "Hit 'em again."
Rooeevelt frequently departad from

and fair and in the open and t won."
he aaid, "and 4 don't intend that mv
opponent! ahail cheat me out of Ht."
"The national committee," he ex
claimed. "Who are theyf About fifty
fieople with the ratio of honeaty rang
ng from about fourteen to twenty,
with the remaining thirty atire thlig
men."
When Rooeevelt aaid any action of
the convention, If brought about by
the votea of delegatee fraudulently
aeated, would not be binding upon the
party, there waa the wildcat outburet
of applauae of the evening. The crowd
leaped up with a ahout and refused to
be quieted despite Rooeevelt'a attemot
to continue. "If they aak for tha
eword," he eald, "they ahall have It."
PERSONALITY NOT INVOLVED.
"The issue is both simpler and larger
than that Involved In the personality
of any man, or. than that involved' in
any factional," continued the colonel.
"or In any ordinary party contest.' We
are etanding for the great fundamental
rights upon which all successf ul free
government must be based. We are
standing for elementary decency In
politics. We are fighting for honesty
agalnat naked robbery; and whereby
robbery la concerned, the all-Important
queatlon la not the Identity of the man
robbed, but the crime; Itself.
"Aa far as Mr. Taft and I are per
nonaJy concerned. It little matters
what the fate of either may be. But
with Mr. Taft's acquiescence or by his
direction, and in hla Interests his fol
lowers have raised an issue which la
all important to this country. It la not
a partisan Issue: It la more than a
political Issue; It ' la a great moral
Issue. If we condone political theft,
t.t wa do rot resent the kinds of wrong
and Injustice that will Injuriously
affect the whole nation, that not
merely our democratic form of govern
ment, but our civilisation Itself can
endure. If methods adopted by the
national committee are approved by
the convention which la about to as
semble, a great crime will have been
committed. Th triumph of auch pro-
readings at the moment would mean
the Wreck of the Republican party:
and If auch proceedings become habit
ual, tt would mean the wreck of popu
lar government. The actions of the
Taft leadere m the national commit
tee, taken with the active aid of Mr.
Taft'a private secretary, and of one of
Mr. Taft'a cabinet officers, are
monstrous, and they should be in
dignantly condemned by the moral
jtenttment of the whole country.
PROTEST AGAINST A CRIME.
"Tonight we come together to pro
test against a crime which atrlkes
straight at the heart of every prin
cJple of political decency and honesty.
a crime which represents treason to

Washington. June 17. Th govern

Cuba so long as there Is a reasonable
prospect of the suppression of the in
surrection by the Gome government.
It is felt that the blow dealt to the

dispatch to President Gomes this
morning:
"In view" of the last happenings, it
is my belief that the revolution is over.
I do not think that large bands of
rebels will again form. The surrender
of Eugenio Lacoste, the leader cf the
insurgents Jn the Guantanamo district,

Chicago, June 17. While atill de

the Roosevelt leaders spent the extra

plan of attack on the Taft program
and will focus tbe fight the minute the
convention is called to order by pre
cipitating a roll can, in which only
those delegatea whcee seata are not

Roosevelt men will achieve this end by
demanding a roll call on the tempo

before the convention. ,
There was no talk of a "stampede"

The Rosewater leaders' are going to

from Mississippi, with using the money
were made public at the Taft head
quarters tonight.
Shumpert charges that Banks showed

and that he refused to 'be bought.
Shumpert is the presiding elder of the

right to do ao will be challenged by
the two Taft delegates aeated by the
national committee. This will precipi
tate a fight and as an incident to it
the Rooeevelt leaders are expected to
move a substitution of a new roll for
the temporary .roll reported by the na
tional committee and to . exclude all
contested delegates from voting upon
the proposition.
Rosewater will assert that as chair
man of the national committee he has
no authority to entertain motions that
have nothing to do with the. conven
tion itself as the convention is in no
sense a creature of the national com
mittee. Some radical Roosevelt leaders have
urged that this will be the signal for
a "break" and that they will proceed

Summarized tersely, the situation is
whether the Republican "elephant" will
respond to the vigorous digs of either
of two contending drivers, or whether
it will twist its trunk about each of
them In turn hurl them aside, to go
its own way. There were indications
today that the last contingency Is not
at all lmpopslble.
In this conection, it became apparent
that the division of delegates between
Roosevelt and Taft on the question of
nomination does not hold on any other
proposition to come before the con
vention. This was shown plainly by
the attitude of the Virginia delegation.
Although practically all are for the re
nominatlon of Taft. nine of the Vir
ginia delegates declared they would
vote to overrule the action of the na
tional committee in seating Taft dele
gates over Roosevelt delegates . from
California, Texas and Washington.
This eentiment among arriving dele
gates was seized upon quickly by
Roosevelt and his advisers, who have j
determined to attempt to break down I
President Taft's strength in the con
vention through the medium of prelim
inary ballots.
