ARKANSAS FOR THE PRESIDENT
Twenty-Four Delegates Are Added
to Toffs Lint by National Com
mittee's Action Yesterday
at Chicago.
CHICAGO. June 7. Twenty-four dele
Kates from Alabama and Arkansas were
added today to the Taft column by the
action of the republican national com
mittee upon the Roosevelt contests from
those states. All of the contests pre
sented before the committee today were
decided in Taft's favor, and in all but
two the decision of the committee was
unanimous, although one roll call test
apparently had shown fifteen anti-Taft
votes.
The cases decided today were those of
the six delegates-at-large and the two
each in the First, Second, Fifth. Sixth
and Ninth congressional ditricts In Ala
bama, and the four delegates-at-large and
the two in the First and Second districts
of Alabama. .
There remain to be heard of the
Arkansas contests, those in .the Third,
Fourth, Fifth and Seventh districts.
Arizona Case Postponed.
The contest over the six delegates-at-large
from Arizona was postponed until
a later day on motion of Committeeman
Penrose of Pennsylvania. In view of
the bitter feeling between the Taft and
Roosevelt adherent, them eeting was
surprisingly peaceful, although it opened
with a contest which seemed to forecast
a degree of friction.
This contest arose over a renewal by
Senator Borah of Idaho, of his motion
of yesterday, which would permit only
tight members of the committee to r;
mand a roll call instead o ftwenty, as
provided by the existing rules.
Dennis T. Flynn of. Oklahoma, holding
at the time the proxy of Committeeman
Flanagan of Nevada, moved to lay the
Borah motion on the table. Mr. Borah
wanted to debate- the matter, but Chair
man Rosewater declared it undebatable
s a proposition of parliamentary law.
4C6,.G lles:;?mamovalcs ' t"
"I don't intend to be choked by a gag
tis early In the campaign," said Senator
Borah, with some show of heat, "and I
will either have my say here, or I will
occupy such a position that this conven
tion will make no DroEress." -
Holes Maat Govern. "
"This committee will conduct Its pro
ceedings under the usual parliamentary
rules," said Mr.-Rosewater, with marked
dignity. '
"But you shall not adopt any rule or
gag by laying motion on the table this
early in the campaign," retorted the Idaho
senator.
The committee proceeded to table the
Borah motion by a viva voce vote, and
then Mr. Borah was permitted to con
tinue, which lie did as follows:
' Mr. Chairman, we will not make any
progress here. Now I know that you
have a steam roller. I don't even desire
to cushion the steam roller. I am per
fectly willing that the steam roller shall
operate, but I want to say here and now
that it will be known to the country that
it dues operate, how it operates, who is
operating it. Men who have not the
moral courage to record their vote before
the people of this country are not worthy
to represent the great republican organ
ization of this United States. (Applause).
' Men who have not the manhood to
stand up here and state for whom they
are going to vote, how they are going
t vote, are evidently acting as "
The C'ha!rman-The gentleman from
Idaho Is out of order.
Mr. Bartholdt There is nothing before
the house.
Senator Borah I am before the house.
Mr. Bartholdt 1 ask unanimous con
sent that the gentleman be permitted to
proceed in order that this proceedings be
made parliamentary.
.Mr. Penrose I hope consent will be
given to the senator from Idaho to
continue and I think we should give
unanimous consent now and let him get
his remarks Into the record.
Holl Cull Allowed.
It was made plain very soon after this
that even though Mr. Borah's motion had
been tabled the majority Intended to
give the minority a roll call on demand,
on any question. Penrose, Crane and
others of the Taft faction repeatedly
joined Borah and his colleagues In the
minority In asking for a roll call, and
they always got It.
The test vote came in the case of the
Ninth Alabama district, in which the
Taft delegates were seated by a vote
of 33 to 15. These fifteen were Knight of
California, Dupont of Delaware, Borah
i f Idaho, Lowden of Illinois, Burnam of
Kentucky, Wight of Louisiana (whose
vote was cast by E. W. Thilderger),
Kellogg of Minnesota, Rosewater of Ne
braska, Flanigan of Nevada (whose proxy
was held at that time by Lucius M.
Llttauer), Ward of New York, Capers
of South Carolina, -Thorson of South Da
kota, Monday of Tennessee, Loose of
I'tah. and Bieber of the District of Co
lumbia. An incident of the day was the rejec
tion by unanimous vote of the brief of
I. A. Gomer of Little Rock in the Arkan
sas delegates-at-large case, on the ground
lhat it contained "Indirect and Insulting
language." Members of the committee
taid later that proper regard must be
ihown for the dignity of the court by
which these cases were being heard.
Tomorrow's work will begin with the
remaining Arkansas cases and these prob
ibly will be followed by the Florida
ases. The case of the two delegates
from the Fourth district of California,
who are contested by the Taft faction,
will not be heard until Monday, as the
parties cannot reach here in time for

BY VICTOR
Editor of The Bee and Chairman
CHICAGO, June 7. (Special Telegram.)
At its session today the national com
mittee got down to real business, starting
at 10 o'clock In the morningi and keeping
steadily on the job of threshing out the
contests for nearly eight hours.
The session was such a strenuous one
that even the newspaper men who had
been clamoring so loudly to be admitted
said to me, as 1 passed their desks, that
they wished we had shut them out, as
they would have had an easier time of
it that way. We had a little fireworks
in the early stages, when Senator Borah,
offering a motion to amend the rules
adopted yesterday so as to permit ten
instead of twenty to demand a roll call,
encountered a motion to lay on the table.
As chairman I ruled that that motion
was not debatable, in spite of the fact
that the senator loudly insisted on his
right to hold floor for a speech. He said
something about gag rule, and not suh
mlttng to any order shutting off debate.
I put the motion, just the same, and it
carried by a large majority, first remark
ing that the meeting of the committee
was subject to parliamentary law, and
that as, long as I was in the chair a
motion to lay on the table, duly made
and seconded, would be received and put
without debate. At my suggestion, unani
mous consent was granted immediately
thereafter to enable the. senator to give
expression to his feelings and get his re
marks in the record, which was what he
wanted to do. y
It turned out that there was really no
need for apprehension that a roll call
would not be granted on demand, for roll
calls were freely accorded whenever
asked for on every contest case that
came up today. Three-fourths of them,
however, disclosed the committee to be
practically unanimous In rejecting the

United ,5ttes Senator Dixon of Mon

would be called to Chicago from time to
time as their services were needed to
further Colonel Roosevelt's candidacy.
Senator Dixon said the arriyal of Moore
and Flynn had Just that significance,
and no other.
Congressman McKinley of Illinois,
President Taft's manager, hailed the
Moore-Flynn Incident as a harbinger of
weakness in the Roosevelt campaign
management and said that it indicated
that "desperate efforts were being made
to save a sinking ship."
In a statement to the press, Mr. Mc
Kinley said among other things in refer

Pittsburgh and William Flynn that:
"The significance of these byplays is
that every time Mr. Roosevelt 'sends help
he admits defeat."

"The convention will t)e too wise to

there anything like a sufficient showing
made on the Roosevelt side to hold in

favor Roosevelt. On that one case, I

lieve either side had made out a con
clusive exhibit.
1 have no doubt the newspapers will be
full of talk about steamroller and gavel
rule, but so far nothing has occurred to
justify such charges. I know that the
newspaper men who were present
throughout the proceedings were really
astounded that the terrible things they
had been led to suspect did not material
ize, while, on the contrary, the commit
tee proved to be a more orderly and In
dustrious body than most legislative
organizations. All kinds of reports and
rumors are in the air about spectacular,
and even forcible, demonstration on the
!part of the Roosevelt following to over
awe the committee members. I do not
believe such counsel will prevail, much
less avail.
A significant sidelight was shown In the
Alabama contest, which may possibly
have some local interest. The attorneys
looking after .the Roosevelt contestants
came right out in the open endorsing the
position I have taken all along that my
tenure as member of the national com
mittee from Nebraska cannot rightfully
be superceded before the national conven
tion constitutes a . new committee, and
tried to apply an analogy In behalf of a
chairman of a'state committee who had
undertaken to resurrect his official ca
pacity on the theory that he had been
chosen for a four-year term, although an
Intervening state convention in which he
had participated, and in whose action he
had also acquiesced, had elected his suc
cessor, and he had yielded possession.

RALEIGH, N. C, June T.-After an all

The convention battled until after mid
night last night over the nomination of
a state ticket and a resolution endorsing
