to the muzzles of the Afghan's cannon,
captured one with his own hands and

Wyoming Senator Calls Him Great
est Parliamentarian of Nation.
SITUATIONS WERE DIFFICULT
Patrick Sullivan Declares that the
Talked-Of Third Party Cannot
" Survive, There ileitis; tip
Issues Bis; Enough.
"Victor Rosewater is the greatest par
liamentarian of the United States today."
This Is what Stale Senator Patrick Sill,
livan Of Casper, Wyo., had to say about
the Omaha chairman of the national re
publican committee. Mr. and Mrs. Sul
livan arrived from Chicago and engaged
rooms at the Hotel Rome. The Wyoming
delegate said that Mr. Rose water's de
cisions won the admiration of the con
vention by their fairness and promptness.
"Mr. Rosewater was placed in many dif
ficult situations there in rapid succession',
and he handled them with clearheaded
ness and promptness that was wonder
ful. Roosevelt Altai""! Kit-Id.
"There was no issue except Roosevelt
against the field of candidates," said Mr.
Sullivan, in discussing the great fight.
When the fight grew sobitter. he said,
the Wyoming delegates, although in
structed for Taft, began to Relieve it
would be better to agree on a third can
didate, but this could not be done, for
Roosevelt absolutely refused to release
his delegates. This, he feels, showed
plainly tnat It was not so much a prin
ciple as a personal ambition that the
colonel was fighting for.
"The general opinion ot the delegates
now U that the-proposed third party will
die," said Senator Sullivan. He pointed
out that many of the men who were
following Roosevelt were men of national
Importance and that these men could
not afford to throw away their political
future by following the leadership of a
man who must eventually lead them to
ruin. He said there was no issue at
present great enough to divide the party
and give birth to a new party that would
last. "The populists," he said, "had
better cause than the proposed Roose
velt party has, and they did not last."

Lincoln Man Declares Action on
Contests Was Not Biased.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 24.-Speclal.)-S. H.
Burnham of this city and a well known
republican all over the state, gives his
opinion of the proceedings of the repub
lican national convention as he saw it
In the following:
'I think that every man who voted on
the contests waged before the conven
tion did so without considering whether
or not Taft or Roosevelt delegates were
concerned. It Is my opinion, further,
that the delegates voted according to
the dictates of their conscience."
Mr. Burnham declared ' that In the
Washington cases, for Instance, it de
veloped that at the time the state con
vention was held the Roosevelt men gut
up and proceeded to bolt before a test
vote had revealed their true strength.
Naturally, the Taft men, left In Undis
puted control, went ahead and elected
their delegates to the national conven

McGovern Blames
Houser for Defeat
of La Follette
MADISON, Wis., June 24.-Senator La
Follette's defeat In the Chicago con
vention was -attributed by Governor F.
E. McGovern this afternoon to lie "mis
management of his campaign a misman
agement that was well-nigh criminal."
The governor said that Walter L.
Houser, La Follette's campaign man
ager,. Is responsible ' for . the election of
Senator Hoot and so of "the whole caval
cade of calamities that followed."
Governor McGovern In a long statement
in justification of his candidacy for the
temporary chairmanship of the national
convention held figures tendtng to show
that hud ho been chairman the net Taft
strength would have been 480 and the net
Roosevelt strength 470.
"Had 1 been elected temporary chair
man," said Governor McGovern, "I would
have ruled that the seventy-eight con
tested delegates should have been dis
qualified until lawfully seated. There
would, of course, have been an appeal
from the decision of the chair, but to
support this appeal there would have
only been 480 Taft delegates, while to
sustain the chair the Roosevelt, Cummins
and La Follette delegates would have
been united and the chair sustained.
"The contests thereupon would have
been referred to the committee on cre
dentials, which would have brought, as
It did, a majority and a minority report.
The Taft men would have tried to secure
the adoption of the majority report In
each instance, but without assistance
they had not enough votes to accom
plish this result
, "The Roosevelt men would have tried
In each Instance to secure the adoption
of the minority report, but. In like man
ner without assistance they had not
votes enough to do so. Who held the
balance of power? Clearly the La Fol
lette delegates."

In . answer to a question "Will your
position be influenced by any act of the
Baltimore convention?" Roosevelt said:
"It will not he. I shall not depart from
what I said on Saturday night. I shall
accept the progressive nomination on
progressive platform and shall fight the
battle through to the end."

Each All Will Appeal
to Supreme Court. J
WASHINGTON. June 24,-Samuel Gom-
pers. Frank Morrison and John Mitchell,
the labor leaders, were today held guilty
of contemnt of court by the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, in con
nection with a court's Injunction In the
Ruck's Stove and Range boycott case.
They will attempt to appeal again to the
supreme court of the United States, which
reversed their former conviction..
Justice Wright sentenced Gompers to
one year, the same as upon bis previous
conviction, and sentenced Morrison to six
months. John Mitchell was not present
and sentence upon him. was deferred. Hli
first sentence was six months.
Justice Daniel Thew Wright announced
the decision of the court. It covered
seventy-two closely typewritten pages and
took about two hours to read.
Bondsmen on Hand. -Bondsmen
were on hand and all attor
neys for the labor men gave notice of
an intention to file an appeal to have
the supreme court review the judgment.
In its previous review of the case the
supreme court reversed the conviction on
the ground that the contempt proceedings
had been improperly Instituted. New pro
ceedings were at once begun.
The charge was that the three men, aa
officers of the American Federation of
Labor, through the organisations publi
cation had disregarded Justice Gould's in
junction against the publication ot Buck's
Stove and Range company's name in its
"boycott list" -.
After Uompers had been sentenced he
attacked the decision, declaring that while
Justice Wright lives in our time, hli
decision and sentences disclose a mental
conception of more than two centuries
ago, when the workman was cither a
slave ot1 a serf.
"Information has Just come to me that
the decision, was completed more than a
month ago, but withheld until after the
close of the Chicago republican national
convention. If true the inference is ob
