VOL. XVNO. 145. PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1912. PRICE, 5 CENTS. ATES FRAUDULENTLY SEATED MUST JOT VOTE If They Do He Will Not Be Bound By Action of The Convention. DELIVERS A FIGHTING SPEECH , AND HI8 HEARERS ARE IN A FIGHTING MOOD DECLARES HE HAS FOUGHT FAIR AND IN THE OPEN AND DOES NOT PROPOSE 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 hie prepared epeeoh for an extempor aneous thru at. "I made my fight aquare 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 . the people, and the usurpation of the sovereignty of. the people by irre sponsible political bosses. Inspired by the sinister Influence of moneyed privilege. We. here In this halL are engaged not only In a fight for the rights of every decent Republican, we are engaged In a fight for the rirhta of every decent American whatsoever hla party may be. And. oh. my friends, for one thing at least we should be profoundly grateful. We are more fortunate than our fathera in that there Is no slightest tinge of sec uonausm in me ngni we are now waging.

Roosevelt will control the Republican national convention and wl4 be nominated on the nrat ballot, the Roosevelt leaders spent the extra time working out the details of their 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 debated by 1 Roosevelt shall vote. Roosevelt men will achieve this end by demanding a roll call on the tempo rary chairmanship, the first question before the convention. , There was no talk of a "stampede" among the Taft forces today.

The Taft forces are going to insist that the proceedings shall move strictly accord ing to precedent. On the eve of the convention both sides are plainly ner vous. TO 8TART THE FIGHT.

As soon aa the prayer Is concluded Rosewater will announce that In obedience to the will of the national committee he presents Root as temporary chairman.

Three affidavits executed by Rev. James W. S hum pert and A. Buckley, delegates, and D. W. Sherrod, , alternates, all negroes, of Mississippi, charging bribery by the Roosevelt forces and two accuaing Charles Banks, the negro delegate from Mississippi, with using the money were made public at the Taft head quarters tonight. Shumpert charges that Banks showed him a roll of bills, asked how much he wanted to disregard the instruc tions for Taft and vote for Roosevelt, and that he refused to 'be bought. Shumpert is the presiding elder of the Meridian Methodist Episcopal church six votes of California for Borah. Hi 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 forthwith to nominate Roosevelt. .

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.
