Chicago. 111., June IS Since Sun- j
<lay afternoon the delegates to the'
National Republican Convention
have been arriving in this city.
I'pon their arrival at the various |
depots they are met by marching
Hubs, which are headed by bands, I
and are conducted with great pomp
and ceremony to their various head
Muariers.
The excitement is becoming great
er and greater as each hour passes
and the factional strife is becom
ing more bitter as the hour of the
opening of the convention approach
es
Both factions have outlined :i
platform with an aim to curb mono
poly.
Roosevelt leaders claim that the
Tan followers are d?-serting the ad
ministration leader, but this the
Taft gang deny
l.ast night Theodore Roosevelt
stated that he intended to fight for
control of the convention from the
drop of the gavil, as the methods
used by the central committee in
seating the contested delegates for
Taft were outrageous, and no re- 1
sped was paid to the rules of the
party.
Many hot headed plans have
been proposed by both factions, and
it ^ believed lh?t if an attempt is
made to carry them out. the con 1

Auditorium, Chicago, 111., June IS
The Republican National Conven
tion opened this morning at ten
o'clock.
Today is the one hnndredth an
niversary of the war of 1812, and
if this is an omen of anything, it
is that there will be war In this |
convention, a thing so probable that
it needs no omen.
One of the battles of one hun
dred years ago was at Fort l?ear- j
liorn, standing where Chicago now
stands, thus lending local emphasis
to the foreboding
If further proof is needed that ?? ;
fight is expected. It is shown by the!
army of five hundred policemen,
picked from the "finest" who arc I
stationed about the doors and en
trances of the Auditorium, as well
.is stationed at points of vantage
within the big building.
Kach blue coated guardian of the
peace has been personally instructed [
to allow none to enter who Is not
in i>ossession of an official ticket
l>r.?stic action has J>ecn taken to
prevent a bolt of either party from
the convention hall, and as a num
ber of prominent men have sent
word to Col Roosevelt notifying
him that he will be regularly nom
inated. the talk of violence which
has been so evident as the hour
for the opening of the convention
approached, that it has almost en
tirely died away.
Th?> number of delegates in at
tendance at the 1S?12 Republican
National Convention is 1.0T6. being
the largest convention ever held
The seating capacity of the Im
mense hall Is 11.000. and each seat
is numbered, the hall being divided
into numerous sections
The state guidons, festoons of na
tional colors, flags artistically dis
played. and portraits of American
siatesmen are used in the decorallon
of the convention ball, but no por
traits of candidates are to be seen
on the walls, while electric lights
are used by thousands
When the doors were opened
everything was in a chaotic state,
and the delegations were very slow
in arriving
There Mas very little demonstra
tion on the part of the audience,
and the only thing which relieved
the tense air of excitement was the
many funny banners which the var
ious delegations bore, as they en
tered the hall and were conducted
to their seats No buffoonery was
indulged in. as has been the prac
tice in former conventions Nobody
seemed to have time for fun or
applause.
At ten minutes after twelve Chair
man Rosewater of the Central com
mittee rapped for order, and im
mediately Gov. Hadley made a mo
tion to submit a new temporary roll
call. Instead of that which had been
submitted by the National commit
tee. Chairman Rosewater allowed
each side c>f the convention twenty
minutes each in which to argue
the matter, and he then denied the
motion.
Rosewater then placed the name
of filihu Root In nomination for
I temporary rhairman, and Gov. Mc
' Govern, Roosevelt"* candidate was
also placed In nomination. Root'?
nomination was seconded, and there
was (treat applause. When Mc
Govern wan seconded, there was a
deep hush.
Theodore Roosevelt was not on
the floor of the convention, but was
giving orders from hotel by tele
phone.
Chicago, 3:27 ? After many sec
onding speeches for both candi
dates for chairmanship, which con
sumed a long time, a motion was
finally put and carried calling for
a roll call by individual delegates
instead of H?y states as is usually
the case.
At three-'lwenty, the roll call of
the first delegation was started,
and it was ifound that many of the
Roosevelt delegates voted for Root
At the time of going to preas,
the delegates were still answering
lo roll call.
