' "Up to th trunk of legitimate Industry

liberty. From small beginning It has
grrown' until It Is Interlaced with awful
enterprises that th clearest eye can alone
detect th bastard growth-io Interwoven
Into the delicate structure of our busi

one momentary spaam. Tariff favoritism,
control of natural resources, monoply

sMfling power.' This monstrous growth
will succumb to the tilting of no quixotic
lance. The lightning of. Invective will

Its growth. It can be reached alone by
the keen blade of well directed law scien

would endure except In name alone, not
only must Its further growth be stopped,
but the awful thing Itself eradicated and
destroyed.

The only reason that we were able to buy them so that we could

with adjustable long range sight and sectional ramrod in the stock. These

Just demands or trifle with their will.
The time has gone by when they will be
satisfied with a sop of high sounding
ambiguity in a political platform or
strident Hp' service and trumpeting of
loud allegiance by a nominee. They look

CHICAGO, June 22.-Denounclng the
Roosevelt members of the credentials
committee as "Hart," "gutter workers''
and "partisans" the majority members
of that committee today answered the
attack on them made public last night
by R. R. McCormlck of Chicago. Th
answer was In form of a statement drawn
up by a committee of five Devi ne of
Colorado, Estabrook of New Hampshire.
Malby of New York. Lanstrum of Mon
tana and MondeU of Wyoming.
This action followed a session In which
charges of "liar" were hurled back and
forth, and In which the Roosevelt men
were accused of "following orders" and
Ignoring their Judgment on the contested
delegates.
The McCormlck statement, made pub
Us last night charged that a coalition
had been formed to seat all the contested
Taft delegates without regard to facts
presented.
"Any man who charges that the Ari
zona report was prepared In idvance,"
declared Robert E. Morrison of Arizona,
"Is a wilful liar. I wrote that report my-
self, after th case had been derided."
'Ther waa published . this morning,"
said Chairman Devine. "a statement, as
dastardly a "piece of falsification as was
ever published or uttered. No man with
any-regard of th truth would sign or
authorise such a statement
"It Is more than Insult to th majority
of th members ot this committee. Those
who signed It lose sight of th fact that
the majority members ot this commute
are as good men, as honorable men. and
stand as high or signer la th business
and social affairs of their cltlea, as the
men who signed this." '
"The only ruffianly acta, the only das
tardly gutter work In this committee
emanated from the other side, the minor
ity membership ot this committee," con
tinued Devine.
i Deviae Demands Proof.
"This man McCormlck, who prepared
this statement did not spend two fiotirs
In the work ot this committee."
Chairman Devine demurred of Mc
Cormick where his proof was tnat re
port had been prepared In advance.
"Any time a man makes such a charge, "
he shouted, "I declare he la a wiliui, de
liberate liar. ' 1 now demand ot Mo

The Springfield Rifle is a marvel of accuracy, no better shooting gun ever
made. Shoots 45-70 calibre cartridges. Can also be used as a shotgun
' You can load the empty cartridges with shot of any size and use the gun for
birds and small game. It shoots just as straight and hard proportionately
as when ball cartridges are used. Every rifle has a long range, adjustable
sight and is equipped with bayonet; and cleaning rod. Every gun in per
fect working, order and well oiled. , All metal parts bright and
free from rust. Only one hundred in the lot. While they last. .

"Do you believe that the report for the
Arizona case was prepared in advance?"
demanded Judge Morrison, walking up to
him.
"Yes, I do." he said.
"Then I say you are a liar," said Morri
son. Not Ready to Fight..
There waa a rush of committee members
to the front, but neither St. Clair or
Judge Morrison showed any disposition
toward a physical encounter.-
Chairman Devine demanded that a sub
committee of the- majority memoers pre
pare a statement that would show the
falsity of the charges made by the Roose
velt members.
Jess A. Tolerton of Missouri said , the
McCormlck report had been signed for
him by his proxy yesterday, but that he
endorsed much of its contents, although
he took exception to some of It.
'.'None of us that signed the statemont
are going back on It," sald .H. T. Ha!
bert of Minnesota, "but none of us who
signed It ha's nothing but the highest re
spect for the other members of the com
mittee." , . -
McCormlck admitted he had written the
report of, the Roosevelt members. He
said most of the Illinois delegation had
seen It and that most of the Roosevelt
men on the credentials committee, had
signed It. ;
A proposal for a subcommittee of five
Taft members to prepare an answer, or.
behalf of , the thirty-five members of the
committee attacked was made.,
Blun of Georgia charged that the Roose
velt men had stood "sid by side" on a'l
decisions, without regard to , the . argu
ments, and could not consistently charge
the other members with "partiality."
They All Grow Varm.
Representative Mondert o . vVyomlng
declared that "not any member. ... who
sjgned this, statement voted tor anyon
but. a Roosevelt man," :. -
Soma Roosevelt members, replied thay

Georgia, '; 1 - -:
"A gentleman signed this who bolted
befor the rules wr passed," said Mon
dell, "and who doesn't know any ot th
evidence that was presented."
-Who Is It?" asked several members.
"Henri of Cau.ornia." answered Mon
dell. "He has not been present, he does
not know any of th vldence that was
presented:" ,
"McCormlck Is In th same position,'.'
interrupted Chairman Devine. .
"This wanton, miserable, scurrilous
insult" added Mondell. "is In keeping
wtt,h the avalanche of abuse that has
been heaped on the'republlcan party by
men who claimed to belong to It hut
who, .when they first came Into this
room declared th "party had gon to

End at the Contests.
Th cas of th Fifth Virginia district

Roosevelt delegations. Th delegates are

tee; ther was no minority report and the

F. C. Bryan, attorney for th Texas
delegates, declared the fight tn Texas
had not been between the presidential
candidates so much as between the or
ganisation and the great majority ot
republican voters who wanted to end its
domination In. the state.

tended to carry the case before the na
tional convention.
The twenty-two delegates from con
tested Texas districts were seated In a
single decision, without argument, by the
credentials 'committee. No roll call was
taken. This completed the contests.

Charles D. Hllles. for chairman of the
national republican committee. He ex
pressed high appreciation of Mr. Hilles'
work in the preconventlon campaign.
When asked if he would take the stump
this fall the president replied he con
sidered likely that, he would. He was
plainly elated' at his victory when the
complete results became known.
President Taft's routine did not vary
today despite the news from Chicago. He
talked with an occasional caller, signed
a few letters and played golf this after
noon. long after 8 o'clock. He had a quiet
family dinner in the White House and
later with .Mrs. Taft sat on .the south
portico and read convention bulletins.
The president was particularly inter
ested in the news that Colonel Roosevelt
was' holding a separate convention. He
had no comment to offer..
When the balloting began Charl Taft
assumed full control' ot the telegraph
room at the White House. Miss Helen
Taft was the only one of the family
missing and ah was out of town.

remember that not for three-quarters of
a century has a renomination . been ac
corded to anyone for this office.-
"It has long been known to my cIofo
personal friends that my preference was
to retire from public office at the close
of the present term and at no time have
I been a candidate for renomination. I
have been too greatly honored by the
party, however, to decline further serv-'
ice when its leaders and Its representa
tives by their convention action have ex
pressed a belief that that service was re
quired. "My service as vice president has been
both agreeable and congenial and I be
lieve has been acceptable to the senate.
My desire to retire was based on a
wish to devote my time to private affairs
and to have remaining a moderate
amount for rest and recreation. It goes '
without saying that not the least cause
for satisfaction is the added honor which
the convention's action brings to Utica."
Woodruff Resigns

nounced his resignation as leader of the

his letter to Reuben L. Haskell, secre
tary of the Kings county committee,
Mr. Woodruff gays that in his Judgment
the destruction ot the republican party is
Inevitable as a result of this national

Mr. Woodruffs telegram says In part:
"The utterly ruthless 'subversion of th
popular will expressed by our fellow re
publicans of the great republican states
by the national committee, the committee
on credentials and finally by this fraud,
ulently constituted convention, whereby
tha destruction of the republican party
Is in my political Judgment inevitable,
as I told my fellow Brooklvn
when tney arrived here after I had care-
rujiy miormea myself regarding the
situation, compels me to take this
course." . .
