ELI III" KOOT fHOSEN
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1).
i
Yention to order and presenting the
recommendations of the committee for
temporary officers, found himself with l
an able-bodied man's job of presiding
over what seemed likely to be a tur
bulent and passionate war of factions.
He was not in good voice, and what
he said was barely audible at the front
of the platform, but the loud-voiced
clerks with m-egaphones did all the
necessary announcing, including his
TTi&ng- on the Hadley motion.
>'ot a Convention Then.
this ruling was to me eueti mat
tntil the national commirtee had presented
the temporary roll made up
from th^ credentials l'rc m the individual
States and districts and its judgment
upon contests, there was no convention.
He held that absolutely no
business was in order save the choice
of te.mporary officers. He anowea zv
minutes to each side to present arguments
on the Hadley motion.
These arguments were presented by
Gov. Had!ey and ex-Go v. Fort, of New
Jersey, on the Roosevelt side, and Rep
resentailve sereno t. rayne, ui .\t-w
York, and ex-Representative James E.
Watson, of Indiana, in behalf of the
Taft people. After the arguments
were finished. Chairman Rosewater renewed
his ruling that nothing was in
order but nominations for temporary
ehairman. He presented the national
rommittee's recommendation of Senator
Root and asked for further nomi
nations.
The Roosevelt men made no further
pposition to this ruling, and the roll
call was begun at 3:15. The name of j
everv Individual delegate was cauea
end it consumed three more hours, yet
every step of the proceedings was
heard with the keenest interest.
Did Their Best.
The Roosevelt men did the best they j
eould; demanding the omission of the
name of every one of the delegates
objected to on the ground that he had
been improperly seated by the national
committee as set forth in the side
tracked motion of Gov. Hadley, but the 1
roll call went on merrily, sometimes 1
mid deafening confusion.
The shifting of the vote brought dra- *
icatic sequence of emotion and of applause.
Burst of cheers greeted one ]
rote after another. With Oregon's <
three for Root and the six for McGov- 1
era t&e net plurality lor Koot stood ai ]
36, but Pennsylvania's 64 for McGovern <
threw the ballot The other way. Until <
Tennessee was reached, when Root

and from then on the margin in

delegation. cast for Root at ">.42.
amid a storm of cheering from the Taft
fol'cwers. the total vote for the New
York senator reached the necessary
540 and the Taft victory?at least in

Remarkable Incidents.
Aside from the practical absence of!
the- "rough house" tactics which had
been so elaborately prepared for by
* * o nr? A Avf r?o _
tne neavj pome guaiu anu mv c.?u a-.
ordinary pains of the national committee
officers to guard against outbreaks
of any kind, there were several remarkable
things about the convention.
It was deSperateiy serious . Dusmess
from beginning to end. There was absolutely
none of that long continued
uproar, extending into long minutes,
even hours, which has lately become a
feature of political conventions. On [
-
tut? contrary nitre uas nirtmcu icno*. i
ness and an atmosphere surcharged
with watchfulness.
Well known leaders came into the j
nail unnoticed; mere ?<is eumc absence
of tributes of applause by State
delegations to "favorite sons." The
crowd gathered somewhat slowly and
save for the music of the band there
was nothing but the undertone of conversation.
After Root's election, when
he came up in the platform, the welcome
to him lasted perhaps^30 seconds,
and when he began his speech,
Pennsylvania showed its bitterness towards
him with jeers and caustic remarks
which went far to discount the
cordiality of his reception.
One Real Outbreak.
There was one promise of real trouble,
when State Senator Flynn compelled
the repetition of the call of the
Pennsylvania delegates, fighting the
vote of one of the alternates, who, he
*'* * ? ? 1 1 ~ J J.
said, was oemg caneu out ul yiupci
order. The point was that the man
who was called and who voted was
the second 011 the list for Root, whereas
the man first on the list of alternates
from the district would have
VUtCU iUi i?iVUU ? ci u.
"If you steal that vote," shouted
Flynn, "there will be no roll called j
in this convention today."
That was all there was to it. The
chairman overruled, and the grinding
voice of Secretary Gleasou went on
rolling out the vote.
Voornpfi Stanri Fast
. ? v- ?
With few exceptions, the negro del:
egates from the South, about whose
steadfastnes there has been much
speculation, stood fast for the Taft
candidate. Early in the vote William
Barnes, Jr., who with Watson, of Indiana,
watched out for the Taft in+
at* no t c y\n tho flnnr said thev would I
tui Vll VMV MW V* J ~ ?- V> ? ^ -
have 560 votes. They got two less than |
that.
When Senator Root began his "keynote
speech," people in great numbers
began to leave the hall. He announced !
then that he would suspend until all j1
those who wished to go had retired.
Thousands then left; but nearly all 1
the delegates remained and listened to !
the speech. Even those who had most '
bitterly fought his election heard him j
:o the end.
When Senator Root finished, amid! <
Long continued applause, pursuant to j <
in agreement between leaders of the j
factions, the whole business of ap- j
pointing committees and other pro-;
feedings naturally belonging to toiay's
work went over until tomorrow. j
Only the national committee's rec- i,
jmmendations tor temporary omcers .
)f the convention was adopted without jJ
iiscussion. Mr. Watson moved the
jsual procedure .for the appointment;
}f committees, Gov. Hadley presented !{
i resolution for the substitution of 92 |1
lelegates from the Roosevelt list and
;he whole matter went over as "un-!
