Auditorium, Chicago. June 19 ?
When the Washington delegation
cast fourteen solid votes for Root,
it was a foregone conclusion that
Root would win, and the entire
convention went wild. Many min
utes elapsed before quiet could be
restored, and soon after this, the
final vote was announced, and show
ed had subsided lie made an elo
Sr.S, and Gov. McGovern 502 votes
Immediately upon the result of
ihe vote being announced, Klihu
Root took the chair, and when the
applause with which he was creet
?m1 and subsided he made an elo
quent Address in which he appealed
to the delegates to stand by the
Republican party.
Other temporary officers were
then appointed, and adjournment
taken until eleven o'clock today.
While Mr Root was speaking the
people in the gallery begun to
leave and b> the lime adjournment
was announced at 7:30 o'clock the
"ntire gallery was empty.
In analyzing the Root vote. Sen
ator Pixon says that Taft will be
*hort of enough votes to give him
majority, while the Taft leaders
no not concede Gov McGovern 's
-trenctii to be the strength of
ilooscvelt.
It w ms announced last night that
Gov Hadlev would bring up the
ficht this mortiinc to substitute
Roosevelt's list of ninety-two con
tested delegates
When Roosevelt w as se< ii by his
campaign managers, after the an
nouncement that Root had received
the temporary chairmanship, he
stated that he was a better warrior
than be was a prophet
lie said that he would serve
notice th-?t "we would not treat
any action taken by the convention
as binding upon any member of
ihe Republican party," and told
his managers that they could con
strue this to mean that he intended
to Ih>1i. if necessary. His manag
ers made an effort to suppress this
speech, but it leaked out
Auditorium, Chicago. June 19 ?
Temporary Chairman Root called
the convention to order at ten min
utes after eleven o'clock this morn
ing. and immediately upon order be
inc secured, Mr Root announced
that unfinished business was now
in order, and that Gov. lladley's
amendments calling for the seating
of the ninety-two Roosevelt dele
gates was open for debate He made
a ruling allowing three hours for
debate, to be equally divided be
tween both sides of the house
Governor Hadley led off in an
eloquent speech in which he called
the action of the National commit
tee. a naked theft
The sentiment in the Roosevelt
ranks is equally divided, half want
ing to give up the fight while the
other half will fight to the bitter
end.
Governor Hadley is on the plat
form watching the debate. While
the debate was In progress, James
Watson, floor leader for Taft, sud
denly went to the platform and In
a loud voice exclaimed, "I believe
now, Hadle.v, you will allow the
question to be decided by the com
mittee on credentials "
This was taken as a signal to
start something, and Immediately
Gov. Stubbs, rose to his feet, and
started marching New York and
Indiana delegations joined in the
march, and many others followed
There was tremendous yelling and
shouting Illinois tried for fifteen
minutes to get the refrain "We
Want Teddy" started, marching
around the convention hall. The up
roar lasted for Tally forty-five min
utes
Sam Blythe says that the dead
lock which is now on will certainly
lead to two conventions, notwith
standing the fact; that Gov. Hadley
and other Roosevelt leaders will not
countenance a bolt.
Cummins leaders claim that they
have one hundred and sixty votes
for their man.
The Washington deelgation is us
ed as the keynote for the debate
which is occupying the floor this
afternoon.
Owing to the demands of the
1-aFollette leaders, Henry Coehems.
a member of the Wisconsin dele
cation and who 'nominated Governor
Mr-Govern, resigned his membership
to the convention
During the height of the dele
gate parade. Delegate Coleman
mounted the platform and proposed
three cheers for Hadley, the next
president of the United States The
cheers were given with a will, and
the demonstration thus started last
ed for thirty minutes Hadley wore
a smile that wouldn't come off dur
ing the entire Itlme of the demon
stration. and th?> Roosevelt delega
tion took the leading part In the
cheering
As soon as order was restored,
the voting on the Hadley amend
ment was begun, and at time of
