Republican Party Attains Propor

a Factional Quarrel.
NEW YORK, July 27. Charles D.
mil oh fnrmerlv secretary to President
J Taft and now chairman of the republi
can naiiuiiAi . eT
statement today at the headquarters of
the republican naJonal committee In
this city as follows:
"The only possible justification of the
avowed efforts of the third term party
leaders to induce the republican electors
in at least six states to betray their
trust and cast their votes in the electorial
college for ex-President Roosevelt would
be the truth of the charge that Presl
Ha, Toff waa nominated hv th A frft.udU.
lent seating of a sufficient number of
4 delegates to affect the choice of the
I national convention.
, "There Is no truth whatever m tnat
charge. Mr. Roosevelt and his associates
know there is no truth in it, but they
have been ' attempting, by vociferation
and reiteration to becloud the fact that
they have nd proof to offer. They would
drown out all attempts to establish the
truth by persistent cries of "thief" and
"fraud."
'The third term party is the self-oon
fessed sponsor for "fake" contests by
which it attempted to secure fraudulent
control of the national -convention and
now it has the termlty o ask the Amerf.
can public to believe that in the remain
ing seventy-eight contests the right was
all on its side. . , ,, -
Contests Bronght for Effect.
"Of the 238 contests which Mr. Roose
velt ordered to be brought before the na
tional committee, his political managers
voluntary abandoned 160 and one of his
press agents announced that these eon
tests were instituted solely 'for psycholo
gical effect' and In order that a "table' of
delegates elected might not reveal the
large majority of legitimately elected
delegates instructed for Presidenta Taft.
"This gross misrepresentation of tbs re
publican party Ms attained proportions
far greater than a factional quarrel. Were
the charges true it would be a national
scandal. For that reason the proper au
thorities have caused to be prepared a
complete review of all the controverted
cases, a review which it is the duty of
every loyal American to read. A re
sume of this will be published more or
less fully in the newspapers of Monday
morning, and copies of the complete state
ment will be available to all who write
I jr mittee at its headquarters In the Times
KJ building. The document furnishes all the
J facts in every contest.
f "Why. take the state of Alabama Mr.
Roosevelt, through his political managers,
asked the national committee to unseat
twenty-two Taft delegates. Twenty of
Nthe contestants were thrown out ny tne
practically unanimous vote of the com
mittee, and one avowed Roosevelt com
mitteeman remarked: 'I am convinced
i It. 1 1 1 XL.
ine country wui ue asiounueu ay mo
flimsy character of the Roosevelt con
tests.' ,,"
'"There was no steamroller in opera
tion; the committee voted in accordance
with its convictions, and as It was com
pelled , to on the evidence. Mr. Roose
velt confessed his own knowledge of the
fraudulent character of his contests and
testified to the justice of the commit
tee's work when at Oyster Bay on the
night the committee's action was taken
he showed to the representatives of the
press a section of his 'confidential list'
of delegates. The list showed that Mr.
Roosevelet expected only two of his
contesting delegates In Alabama to be
seated, and Mr. .Roosevelt added, 'We
hadn't counted on any but these two.'
Yet he sought to cast a cloud over the
title to twenty other seats.
"When you go seeking equity, do
equity. That is an old maxim of equity
law and a just one. Mr. Roosevelt, pre
tending to seek equity from the repub-
i lican national commltte, sought to In-
17 diva that itAmmlttAft tA tlnOAflt A, lAaat
160 regularly eleced delegates and In
V their stead to seat Roosevelt delegates

of Attack.
CHARLESTON.. W. Va., July 37. -A
special train load of West Virginia troops
was rushed today from the Mount Gretna
camp to the Paint Creek district, where
more trouble Is feared between mine
guards and striking coal miners, who
secreted In armed strongholds, from which
efforts to dislodge them have failed, are
believed to be too strong for even the
hundreds of soldiers now on the ground
to cope with. Daily rioting has developed a
serious condition In the district. Mine
guards dare not leave their barracks ex
cept in squads of a dozen or more. It is
said the miners have threatened to shoot

Life of the Mikado
. Being Prolonged by
Artificial Means
TOKIO, July 27.-The condition of Mut.
suhito, emperor of Japan which was said
by the court physicians yesterday morn
ing to have reached an extremely grave
crisis has since fluctuated greatly, at
some times giving rise to hopes of re
covery and at others casting those around
his majesty in despair. Several cabinet
ministers remain in constant attendance.
The bulletins issued in the course of
today indicated there has been little
change in the patient's condition, the an
nouncement published in the early morn
ing hinting that his strength was ebbing
and that he was very restless. One ot
the state secretaries in attendance said
that artificial methods of prolonging the
emperor's life were being continued and
that ' an ejection of salt solution was to
be tried today.
Later in the day the emperor was said
to be resting easily and his temperature
has been reduced while his general con
dition had somewhat improved.
Owing to the nature of his majesty's
illness, which is described as a compli
cation of diseases, comprising' nephritis,
diabetes and uraemia poisoning, he is
unable to take much nourishment and
his strength diminishes dally. Since July
19 he has been In a very critical condi
tion and only his robust constitution has
enabled, him to maintain life.
The bulletin Issued' this evening showed
that his ; condition remained practically
the same as it was yesterday, although
bis pulse varied considerably. At 6 o'clock
this evening his pulse had gone down to
96 from 100 at noon.- At S o'clock, however,
it had rleen again, but 'otherwise there
was no change. - . ..
"Silence Would Be
; Accusation"-Quinby
OMAHA. July 2C To the Editor of The
Bee:. There Is but one thing that now
restrains the majority of the delegation
from this county to the democratic state
convention from doing anything in their
power to humiliate Mr. Bryan. That one
thing is fear; but I happen to know that
there are some of them who will even
defy that one thing to do something to
this end. i
Regardless, however, of these reasons,
I believe it is up to the state convention
next week to speak its mind upon the
question whether or not the democrats
of this state approve the action of Mr.
Bryan at Baltimore. Silence on the part
ot that eonventlon would be accusation.
To stand mute . upon so important a
question as that would be equivalent to
saying that the democrats of this state
do not approve of his action there, and
even tantamount to a censure for him.
I believe that the' democrats of this
state do approve ot his action there, and
to remain silent upon that question while
his foes, including the World-Herald, are
denouncing him as a hypocrite and
traitor would be cowardice.

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, July 27.-(SpecUl.)That the
political pot Is boiling furiously In Lan
caster Is evidenced by the tact that sev
eral meetings have been held and will
be held in Lincoln before the state com
mittee meets Monday morning. ,
Yesterday a request was sent to Chair
man J. U Kennedy of the state repub
lican committee at Omaha to come to
Lincoln to oonfer with Governor Aldrich.
Mr. Kennedy arrived last night and was
In conference with the governor for a
few hours. , Those present were, besides
the governor and the chairman. A, B.
Allen, secretary ot the state oommlttee;
Judge Halner, one of the leaders of the
regulars , In the Lancaster convention
Tuesday, and ex-Senator King of Osceola,
a strong Roosevelt supporter, but who
believes In harmony.
None ot those In attendance at tne meet,
lng would give out anything tor publi
cation, except to say that they were well
satisfied with the meeting and were living
In hopes that It might result In a har
monious state oonventlon.
The bull moose delegation from Lan
caster held a meeting tonight at the Lin
dell, hotel to equip themselves with, the
necessary arms-and ammunition neces
sary to meet the opponents when the con
ventlcn meets. , , ; ' , ,
The committee of three from the regu
lar delegation, from. Lancaster, Judge
Halner,, Judge Holmes ,'. and Captain.
Trlmbel, met this morning to line out a
program to present before the state com
mittee at Its meeting Monday, morning.
It is said that the eonfsrenoa last night
was not prolitlo ot any agreement which,
was satisfactory to those present, for .the
reason that very few ot them thought
It would be agreed to by the convention.
, One proposition which met with favor
If it could be pulled through wets that
the convention endorse the whole repub
lican ticket from the head down and that
the electors agree to cast their votes for
Taft if he needed them to win, or for
Roosevelt If he needed them to be elected.
A little later in the evening another
proposition was made that the conven
tion endorse the whole ticket and that In
return for the Taft men supporting the
senatorial, congressional and state tickets
that' he Roosevelt men on the electoral
ticket resign and that Taft men be placed
