CHEYENNE. Wyo., June .-(Special
Teiegram.)-At 11 o'clock the big good
roads car ol the Omaha f ommercial club
crew up In front of the Cheyenne Indus
trial ciub, the end of the trip of the
Omaha boosters. They were met thirty
miles out by fifty automobiles that were
strung out over that distance, some even
to Pine Bluffs, forty-three miles away.
At the city limits of Cheyenne, E. L.
Emery, president of the Laramie Good
Roads association, and who has traveled
across Nebraska with the Omaha men,
iook charge and lined up the automobiles
for a proper entry into the Wyoming
capital.
The Ninth regiment cavalry band of
forty pieces, mounted, headed the pro
cession. This Is declared by President
Haversack of the Omaha Commercial
club to be a fitting climax to a most suc
cessful trip on which the party received
.a continuous ovation. Following the
band was the pilot car, with Mr. Emery
and P. L. Lariver of the Citizens Na
tional bank. Then, In order, a car with
Secretary of State Houx. State Auditor
Forsyth, third car; Mayor U R. Bres
nahan; fourth car, the big Chalmers,
with the official party of the Omaha
Commercial club; fifth. President C. N.
Potter and Secretary F. T. Pearlstine of
the Cheyenne Industrial club; sixth car,
Cheyenne city council; then all of the
prominent citizens In twenty or thirty
cars. The Omaha good roads men left
Kimball forty-five minutes ahead of their
schedule In order to reach Cheyenne an
hour earlier than originally planned, so
as to give Mayor Dahlman more time
with his friends and admirers of Chey
enne. He leaves on the midday train to
connect with the special train for the
Batllmore convention.
Fine Morning; Meeting.
Pin Bluffs was routed out at 8 o'clock,
tut responded with good attendance even
at that hour. Mayor Dahlman gave one
of his typical addresses. The people of
Kimball are feeling fine over the Irriga
tion and reservoir system Just completed,
whereby 7,600 acres are now under water,
taken from the Lodgepole. H. E. Fred
riokson, the mainspring of the party, is
Immensely pleased with the early pros
pect of having all the kinks In the trans
cpntinental road straightened out When
Mayor Dahlman made complimentary
reference to Mr. Friedrickson it was met
by s, veritable demonstration. Mr. Fred
rickson Is known here and bis pioneer
' works for good roads is fully appreciated.
Cheyenne Is for good roads up to the
hilt If the reception given the Omaha
men Is any Indication. A smoker will be
given at the Industrial club this evening.
Mayor Dahlman made a lengthy and
convincing speech from the porch of the
Industrial club, around which were
grouped several hundred automobiles and
hundreds of people, probably every man,
woman and child In town.
The Omaha, mayor leaves at 1 o'clock
and the others of the party will leave at
midnight and will arrive in Omaha Sat
urday evening, except Mr. Fredrickson,
who meets Mrs. Fredrickson here, and
will go to Denver.
WORK OF CONVENTION STARTS
(Continued from First Page.)
back to their feet and there was another
attempt to start a demonstration. Again
It subsided and the crowd settled back
to await the fall of the gavel.
The Pennsylvania delegation also
brought out a new call It was:
"Ray, ray, ray.
"Pennsylvania,
"Sixty-five for Roosevelt
"Ray. ray, ray."
And the Band Played.
When William J. Bryan climbed Into
bis seat In the press section, where he
settled down as an ordinary reporter, a
wave of cheers swept the big hall. The
band played "Should Auld Acquaintance
be Forgot" It was then forty-five min
utes beyond the scheduled hour for con
vening, but Chairman Root Senator
Crane, James E. Watson, Governor Had
ley. Senator Borah, former Governor Fort
of New Jersey and the other leaders of
both factions sat idly on the .platform.
Hadley and Crane engaged smilingly in
conversation, while they waited word
from the committee on credentials.
When word finally came from the cred
entials committee that the Alabama case
was to be submitted to the convention,
Senator Root prepared to call the con
vention to order.
"Play ball," shouted a man in the gal
lery. The delegates applauded Senator
Root as he rose in his place. The gavel
fell and prayer was offered by Rev. John
Balcora Shaw of the Second Presbyterian
church of Chicago.
When the Rev. Mr. Shaw bad con
cluded, Senator Root said:
"The business in order Is the report of
the committee on credentials," and be
Introduced W. T. Dovell of Washington,
a member or the committee, wno sub
mitted the report favoring the seating of
the Taft delegates in the Ninth district
In Alabama.
R. R McCormick or Illinois, a Roose
velt leader, was on his feet calling for
recognition.
Chairman Root however, directed the
reading of the report, which went into
details of the contest and said that a
full hearing had been granted by the
committee. . ;
Called by Chairman Root.
Scattering applause greeted the con
clusion of the report.
Governor Hadley of Missouri, floor
leader of the Roosevelt forces, was ap
plauded as he arose and introduced R.
R McCormick to submit a minority re
port McCormick said tb"e minority had
been refused permission to file a minor
ity report. He said the facts In the
case would be given the convention at a
later moment.
Then ensued an Incident which roused
the Ire of Chairman Root He had begun
to state the position he bad taken in
the matter by saying:
'While, strictly speaking, there can be
no such thing as a minority report,"
when he was interrupted by an outburst
of groans, boos and hisses. .
Mr. Root pounded vigorously for order,
and when quiet was restored, walked de
fiantly to the front of the stage.
'Gentlemen of the convention. he
shouted, "it would be well when the
chairman begins a sentence to wait until
he concludes it"
This statement was greeted with ap
plause, and Chairman Root concluded by
saying It was customary for the minor
ity to present its views to the conven
tion Informally, and this custom would
be followed. He directed that the views
of the minority, as presented by Mc
Cormick, be read for the Information of
the convention.
The minority report was read. It pro
tested that J. C. Adams, Arizona; C. A.
Warnken of Texas and W. T. Dovell of
Washington had no right to sit on the
credentials committee because they had
been elected by delegates whose states
were contested. "They are, in effect,
sitting as judges in their own cases,"
said the report.
The report protested also against the
sitting on the credentials1 committee of
five members who had been members of
the national committee, because they had
already passed on the contests.
Hadley is Cheered.
In conclusion the report recemmended
the seating of the Roosevelt delegates
from the Ninth Alabama district.
Governor Hadley moved that the mi
nority report be substituted for the ma
jority. Heney of California seconded the
motion, and an unidentified delegate
moved to lay the motion on the table.
Mr. Dovell from the committee asked
and secured unanimous consent to make a
five-minute statement The delegates
listened somewhat impatiently as though
they already had made up their minds
and were anxious to vote.
Chairman Root announced that It was
Robert J. Walker, a Virginia delegate,
who had made the motion to lay on the
table, but had withdrawn It at the re
quest of his delegation to allow Governor
Hadley to make a motion which other-

wise would have been excluded under the
rules.
When Governor Hadley was recognized
for the motion he was cheered. He began
to talk from the floor, but Root, quieting
the demonstrationsaid: "It Is the evi
dent wish of the convention that you
should take the platform."
A storm of applause broke as Hadley
started up the aisle. After he got to the
platform Governor Hadley made his mo
tion, which was a renewal of the fight to
keep all contested delegates from voting.
He sought to bar seventy-two delegates
from casting their ballots until such time
as their cases had been settled. .
The original list contained ninety-two
when presented last Monday. Tuesday it
was scaled down to seventy-eight, today
it was seventy-two.
Roll Call Ordered.
James Wadsworth. Jr., of New York.
made a point of order against Hacuey
motion, contending that dn effect its en
tertainment by the chair at this time
would establish rules for the convention,
before the committee on rules had an
opportunity of considering . the matter.
He said the motion would reverse the
ruling made by the chair when the reso
lution was first produced Tuesday.
Root, advancing to the front of the
stage, said the parliamentary argument
would be the point of order. "But" he
continued, "It is so to the general Inter
est of the republican party that it should
be passed on and settled by this conven
tion that the chair will therefore enter
tain the motion."
James E. Watson of Indiana, the Taft
floor leader, was loudly cheered as he
moved to lay the motion of Governor
Hadley on the table.
A roll call was demanded and seconded.
It was ordered. Heney interrupted the
roll call, demanding to know If the seventy-two
contested delegates were to be
allowed to vote on the motion.
Chairman Root said that the sitting

trict whose right to seats was involved,
would not be allowed to vote. All oth
ers on the temporary roll would vote.
Heney protested that the rights of the
seventy-two delegates were Involved and
he made a point of order to that effect
"Overruled," said Chairman Root.
"I expected it," shouted back Heney.
Alabama voted twenty yeas, two nays,
the two contested delegates not voting.
When Calfornla was reached a roll call
confirmed the vote of twenty-four noes
and two yeas and the old row over the
right of the two Taft delegates from the
Fourth district to vote was renewed.
Governor Johnson and Heney protested,
while a number of delegates called to
them to sit down.
Another Vote la Taken.
The two California Taft delegates,
who had never had the temerity ,to sit
with the Roosevelt delegates, but . had
occupied places on the stage, voted aye.
The twenty-four others voted no. John
son yellod a protest, challenging the
right of the contested delegates to vote,
but was ruled out of order.
Washington's fourteen aye votes passed
the motion of Watson to lay the. Had
ley motion on the table and a Tipple of
applause ran through the hall.
The vote was 669 ayes, 490 noes, ten not
voting. This was a gain for the Taft
forces and a distinct loss to the Roose
velt adherents, and the Taft people
applauded and cheered for a minute.
The motion to table the motion of Gov
ernor Hadley to substitute the minority
report of the majority report in the
Alabama cases was then put, and Had
ley demanded another roll call, and it
was granted, despite cries of "no, no"
from the floor. At this time it was ap
parent there would' be a third roll call
when it came to a motion to adopt the
majority report In favor of the Taft
delegates.
On both roll calls the Georgia delega
tion voted solidly for Taft. It had been
divided, twenty-four to four.
Idaho, voting solidly for Roosevelt on
all previous Questions, changed to the
Taft column on this call.
Oregon, divided five and five on the
first call, went six to four in favor of
the Taft proposition on the second.
Wisconsin shifted completely on the
second call, voting with the Taft people
to table the minority report.
The vote was 606 to 464 this time and
the big Taft victory called out a cheer.
The plan of Governor Hadley to force
a roll call on the motion to adopt the
majority report, was abandoned after
this decisive victory and it was put
through viva voce.
Governor McGovern stated that the
change In ' Wisconsin's vote was due to
the fact that the Wisconsin members
of the national committee and of the
committee on credentials had sustained
the contested delegates. "We have no
facts on which to dispute their Judgment
and therefore vote to sustain them," he
Said.
A similar explanation was made on be
half of Idaho. Chairman Couzen of the
Idaho delegation said: "We are repub
licans and we are not going to sit In
our seats without voting."
Arizona. " Goes to Taft.
At 2:45 o'clock the chairman's gavel fell
and the report on the Arizona contests
was presented, seating the Taft delegates.
Sullivan of Ohio presented minority views.
The same parliamentary tactics that
marked the Alabama -cases were followed.
Sullivan moved the adoption of the
minority report and Watson moved that
it be tabled. A roll call was demanded.
On It Idaho and Wisconsin switched back
to the Roosevelt column.
The minority report was tabled. 564 to
497. A roll call was not demanded when
the motion to adopt the majority report
was put and carried.
A viva voce vote adopted a motion by
Watson to table Hadley's motion to sub
stitute the minority for the majority
report on the Fifth Arkansas district.
Another viva voce vote adopted the ma
jority report and a roll call was avoided.
At 3:67 o'clock the chairman rapped for
order again and W. T. Dovell moved the
adoption of the report on the Fourth
California district, seating the two Taft
delegates, Tryon and Meyerfleld. The
report set forth that the vote in the
Fourth district elected Tryon and Meyer
fleld, although In the state wide vote the
Roosevelt delegates received a majority
of 77,000. The committee held that the
state primary law which did not provide
a vote by districts could not supersede
the call Issued by the national commit
tee, which distinctly provided for repre
sentation by congressional districts.
Groans, boots and hisses from the Cali
fornia delegation greeted the statement
In the majority report that the California
primary law would in effect enforce the
unit rule in its delegations, and the
further statement that the national con
vention, and not state laws, is the su
preme source of party regularity.
Hugh T. Halbert of Minnesota was
greeted with cheers as he read the mi
nority report which denounced the seat
ing of the Taft delegates as the "tyran
nical overthrow of the will of the people
of California."
. "This Is a case of the most flagrant
Injustice," he shouted, "and should not
be tolerated."
Forty Minutes for Debute.
Watson moved that the minority report
be tabled, but pending that be asked that
twenty minutes be allowed for discussion.
His motion was greeted with jeers and
cries of "Hadley, Hadley, Hadley."
Hadley arose from bis place on the
stage and the noise subsided. . The re
quest for unanimous consent for debate
was granted and Francis J. Hny took
the platform and opened the argument
for the minority report
Heney said the Question at issue went to
the very root of self-government, whether
the law of a sovereign state, submitted
to by both factions in the party, should
be set aside by the mandate of the na
tional committee. He denouced what he
termed an attempt to "rob the people of
California of their right representatives."
Heney review the political history of
California, saying that two years ago the
people emancipated themselves from the
corrupt rule of a corrupt machine con
trolled by the railroads. He compared
California In the past with "machine
controlled Pennsylvania and Colorado."
A delegate from Pennsylvania arose and
made a point of order that the speaker
should confine himself to the Issue.
."The speaker Is not yet over the line
where he should be called to order," re
marked Senator Root, with an emphasis
on the "yet," which the crowd appreci
ated and cheered.
Heney Talks of 11 lab Treason.
Heney said the two .Taft delegates
seated by the national committee had
not dared to sit with the remainder of
the California delegation, but had taken
refuge "In the vest pocket of somebody
on this platform."
"Before these jtwo men were able to
run under the primary law," he said,
"both they and the man they were to
represent were forced to pledge them
selves te abide by the preferential vote
of the state. President Taft did that,
and If he now accepts the vote of these
two men In this convention he will be
guilty of high treason."
Heney said it was absolutely impossi
ble under the returns of the election to
decide what the vote was in an individual
district .. ..
"No one but the thirty-eight members
of the national committee who voted to
unseat these men and the other, men
whose seats have likewise been stolen
would attempt to discover that vote."
Heney concluded with the statement
that Tryon secured less votes than four
other Taft delegates in California who
failed of election.
