Convention Planned.
Rough
Mo., June 24.—Gov-
on his return from the
Chicago convention, declared his deter-
mination not to join Rcioaevelt’s third
party movement
“I believe I can render more service
to the people as s member of the Re-
publican party than by joining in the
formation of a third party,” he said.
‘While I have in no way changed my
mind as to the correctness of that for
which I have contended, I undertake
to say that no political party ever did,
or ever will exist in which at times
men will nst use authority unfairly
and to accomplish selfish and improp-
er ends.
"In my opinion the best way suc-
cessfully to fight such men and meth-
ods and also the best way in which to
fight for correct principles of govern-
ment is within the party rather than
by leaving It”

Beveridge, 2; Gillette, 1; absent, 71;
not voting 352.
The convention adjourned at 10:29
p. m.
Theijp were two exciting features of
the long session which began at 10 a.
m. and continued untill nearly mid-
night
Two hours before the nomination of
Taft the personal boom of Theodore
Roosevelt gave Its last expiring gasp
in a twenty-five minutes’ demonstra-
tion. \
The second incident was a near-riot
in the Massachusetts delegation, pre-
cipitated by Root, when during the
roll call, he began to get nervous about
the count.
When the delegates from tbe Codfish
state, their minds made up to have no
hand in the matter refused to vote
when their names were called, Root
ordered that the natnes of the alter-
nates be called. He knew that he
would pick up a few Taft delegates in
that way. and just then he fancied he
might nee<fthem* ,
As soon as this order was issued
Delegate Posdlck, a gray hearder man,
who looks like James G. Blain, arose
and Shouted: ,
“Massachusetts Is a law-abiding
state and you had better not attempt
that kind of robbery.”
After the yells and cheers that greet-
ed this defiance had subsided, Root
strode to the edge of the platform, a
couple of husky lieutenants beside
him to prevent trouble.

lican National convention, Theodore

ment to convene again tn six weeks

bosses.
Assembled In Orchestra hall were
the delegatee who had been Instructed

ed steam roller methods and s disre-

sent the voters of the Republican par-
ty.” He said: “They represent noth-
ing bat successful fraud, and that any
