SENATOR EXHAUSTED BY LENGTHY SPEECH a To Iron r Vvio ViIa XT i m to Recover Strength Bitterly Rails at Roosevelt. Washington, July 12. Senator Lori mer today renewed his speech attack ing Roosevelt terming him 'custodian of all the morals of the country, pri vate and public." He based his at tack on Cortelyou's testmony before the senate committee yesterday re garding the $1,900,000 campaign fund raised for the presidential campaign In l!04. "Of course not a cent of that mil lion and nine hundred thousand could have been contributed by predatory wealth. Surely all was the free gift of thfe common people for whom this man is the great champion. No male factor contributed." He discussed Taft's letter to Roose velt expressing the hope that Lorimer would be ousted and said It was for campaign purposes. "Was ever mortal man ever more completely surrounded by consplcarcy or Intrigued?" he asked. "Taft, Roosevelt, Bryan and the trust press are all In It Joined In a conspiracy to poison the minds of the citizenship in order that one man might be destroyed to satisfy the mal ice of the most corrupt newspaper owners In the history of the country." The senate recessed until 2 o'clock to permit Lorimer to recover his itrength IMW IMPEACHMENT MUCUS IRE ADOPTED Only One House Member Re cords Objections to Pro ceeding Against Judge. Washington. July 12. The house of representatives yesterday adopted by vote of 222 to 1 articles of Impeach ment against Judge Robert W. Arch bald of the United States Commerce court. Representative Farr of Penn sylvania cast the single vote against the bill of Impeachment. Mr. Farr Is a life long friend who has all along voiced confidence in Judge Archbald's Integrity. Of the total membership of the house In their seats only nine voted "present." These were former Speak er Cannon, Representatives Burgess of Texas, Daltell and Olmstead of Pennsylvania, Dwlghl of New York, Johnson of South Carolina and Shark- man of Florida. Only three members had spoken In the Judge's defense Thev were Representatives Farr, Bow man and Focht, all republicans, of Pennsylvania. Th scene now shifts to the senate. whlcrf will sit In Judgment in the case. While there has been a dispo sition voiced In the senate to post pone the trial until the autumn. Chair man Clayton of the house committee on Judiciary and one of the prosecut ing managers, declared yesterday his conviction that the senate wold take up the Impeachment soon. Senator ('lurk of Wyoming, repub lican, chairman .Of the senate Judic iary committee, expressed the lew that the aenats irould acquiesce with Judge Archbald'M wishes as to having an Immediate trial or being allowed time to prepare .his defense. Among some of the republican leaders It was suggested that while the dine would be formally presented to the senate next Monday that body might not do more now than to determine the date of the trial and that the senate might recess until November, then proceed ing with the hearing with a probabil ity of completing the case before the Christmas holidays. The Impeachment grows out of i charges that while occupying a fed eral bench Judge Archbald was con nected with negotiations for valuable culm banks In Pennsylvania and with using his official position to attempt the enrichment of himself and certain friends. orittoibis Students Clianrellor Avery Many In UalvevaHJra re "Rxjravs gant Idlers." the Chicago, July 12.

IOWA REPUBLICANS AGAINST MR. TAFT Resolutions Praising Admin istration Voted Down Third Ticket in Illinois. Des Moines, la., July 12. The dele gates to the republican state conven tion gave Colonel Roosevelt one of the greatest demonstrations ever ac corded a man at a state convention. The demonstration was brought about while Governor Carroll, one of the few standpatters in the convention, sought to have Taft and his national platform Indorsed by the convention. He incidentally mentioned the name of Roosevelt. Two or three bandannas were waved In the air and then the con vention floor became a bedlam. Dele gates Jumped on to their chairs, wav ing their bandannas and cheering for Roosevelt, while the governor sought In vain to quiet the convention. It was several minutes before order was final ly restored. Threats of "you will lose Kenyon" failed to make the progressives in dorse Taft and the national platform. Resolutions to indorse Taft were vot ed down with great gusto. The seating of fraudulent delegates in the Chicago convention was con demned and the voters of Towa were urged to use the dictates of their con science In selecting their candidate for president at the polls. The platform was entirely and strongly progressive, presidential pri maries and woman's suffrage being Indorsed. The convention was or ganized with Smith W. Bookhart of Washington county In the chair. He Is a strong progressive. From there on the progressives did as they pleased despite the frantic efforts of the standpatters to halt the si roller. Judge Frank Gaynor of Lemarsand Myron W. Preston of Oska'oosa wer nominated for candidates for the Su preme bench. A deadlock marked the first ballot, but Gaynor was nom inated with a whoop on the second while Preston vas nominated by an equally large vote on the third ballot. The temporary chairman, Daniel Turner, made a vigorous progressive keynote speech on the opening of the morning session. Following the convention the Roose velt delegates met with Judge J. I. Stevens. A provisional central com mittee was named and a call issued for a progressive state convention on July 24. Delegates to the state con ventlon will be nominated at county mass conventions on July 20. A ma Jorlty of the delegates to the state convention were Roosevelt men, and many of them attended this confer ence. Third Tloket In Illinois, Chicago, July 12. "In Illinois there will be a candidate for governor who repudiates the nomination of Mr. Taft as fraudulent and invalid and who will support Mr. RooBevelt and the progressive principles for which he stands." This Is Col. Roosevelt's defl to Gov Deneen and his supporters in the re publican organization camp In Illi nois, as given out by Medlll Met 'or Inlck, who came to Chicago from an interview with Col. Roosevelt at Oys ter Bay. This means. It Is said, that Gov Deneen will have to repudiate Presl deiil Taft and swing to the third par ty movement or Col. Roosevelt and his followers will put a third candl date In the Held against him. This would help Edward F. Dunne, demo cratlc nominee. More Electors tor T. R. Oklahoma City, July 12. While the principal work of the statewide Roose velt conference was the calling of a state convention for JUly 2!i in Okla homa City, the most startling feature was the announcement that seven o ihs nominees for nrealdenttal elector on lha rcirnlnr reU II bllCIl I!

WILSON'S PLAN IS FORMULATED Democratic Candidate Decides on Committee Head and Conduct of the Campaign. FUNDS ARE RECEIVED FROM MANY SOURCES Governor Writing Personal Acknowledgements to Those Who Are Furnishing Mu nitions of War. Sea Girt, July 12. Governor Wil son today put the ttnal touch on the essage Which Robert S. Hudspeth will take to the national committee hich meets at Chicago next Monday. e said he had decided upon a na tional chairman but could make no nnouncement. Sea Girt, July 12. For the tirst me since the Baltimore convention djourned. Governor Wilson clOBed his office last night to all visitors, took ff his coat, settled down in his easy hair with a pad and pencil and coni- Itted to paper his thoughts on the national campaign. He was writing rough outline of his message to the national committee which meets Chicago July 15. Page after page of shorthand notes the governor has written shorthand or 40 yearB was torn from the pad nd placed on the desk beside him. In two hours or so he had linished. All that the party chieftains have poured into his ears in the way ol suggestions and advice was brought to bear in preparation of his mes sage. Today he went over tne ururi 1th Robert S. Hudspeth, nationa committeeman from New Jersey, who ill be his personal representative at Chicago and the rough outline will be turned Into the finished product, be placed before the committee. No word of its contents, the Kovernor laid, won.? ne made public in ad ance of the meeting. The message will contain the name f the governor's choice for national halt-man, his decision on whether here shall be a campaign to help the national chairman direct the light, the overnor's views on the sort of cam- laign he wishes to conduct and prob- bly hlF selection of the executive ommittee. Discussion of the plat- orni and issues will be reserved for his speech w( acceptance August 7. The preparation of tlo message was he culmination of a field day at Sea Girt for men high in the councils of the democratic parly. During the day the governor entertained dozens of alters of political prominence, in luding five members of the demo- ratic national committee, Maryland leaders of his ante-convention light, and leaders from Brooklyn. Among the visitors were: John T. McGraw national committeeman from West Irglnln: L. A. Jones, national com mitteeman from Maine; David R Francis of St. Louis, Thomas J. Mc 'ue, national committeeman from olorado; F.dward B. Goltra, national Committeeman from Missouri; Harvey larber, former national committee man from Ohio; John H. McCooey of Brooklyn, Representative John J. Fitzgerald, chairman of the appro priations committee of the house; P.eese M. Lang, national committee man from Arizona. To Respect Wilson's Wishes. Nearly all of these were positive n their declarations that when the national committeemen elect a chair man next Monday, it will be the man whom Governor Wilson selects, and more than half were Inclined to be lieve that William F. McCombs would have the governor's preference. Governor Wilson Is going to be the real manager of the campaign. There was no doubt of this In the minds of his callers. The governor himself said that he Intended for one thing to scrutinize closely the campaign con tributions and keep tally of the ex penditures. That, of course," he said, "Is noth ing more than my duty." There has been a growing stream of contributions emptying Into the governor's office dally. Nearly a, score came today, varying In amounts from $1 to $200, with $2.r perhaps a fair uverage. More than half of them came from men with whose names the governor was not familiar. It was a wholesome sight, he said, and the right sort of a campaign fund. To each man who sent money, he wrote a personal letter of thanks. mere were nine in ine party from Brooklyn which John H. McCooey headed. Mr. McCooey suggested that Governor Wilson open the New Tork state campaign with n mass meeting early In the fall at the academy of music In Brooklyn. The Idea Inter ested the governor greatly. Colonel John I. Martin, sergeant at arms at the Raltlmore convention dropped In on Governor Wilson for a few minutes, bringing with him as a present the gavel with which the con vention Was opened and closed. It was made. Colonel Martin told the governor, by Dnnsld Martin, the colo ii. l h son at Hlllsboro, Mo. The gov ernor grasped It firmly and tapped the railing of his porch. "Ho that's the gavel that did the business. Is it?" he asked Colonel Martin assured him that It was and added that the Upper Mis slsslppl River Improvement aasocla Hon, composed of men of affairs o (Contlnoeo on page ) TUFT VICTORY LITERAL STEIL So Declares Colonel Roosevelt Who Cites Many Specific Instances of Alleg ed Fraud. CHALLENGE OF BOSSES SHOULD BE ANSWERED And at the Coming Election, He Asserts Entire Con vention Majority of 21 Tainted. New York, July 12. Theodore Roosevelt further discusses the seat ing of contested delegations In the republican national convention at Chicago in an editorial entitled; "Thou Shalt Nut Steal,'' which' ap pears in tlie current issue of the Outlook. He says in part: "The American people are entitled to know that the charge of stealing the Chicago convention of 1912 is more than campaign recrimination, and that the frauds complained of tition of 'loose practices which might are much more serious than the repi- have found unfortunate precedents in some previous conventions of both parties. "Seriously and literally, President Taft's renominulion was stolen for him, from the American people, and the ratitication or rejection of that nomination raises the critical issue whether votes or fraud shall deter mine the selection of American pres idents. "President was renominated by a majority of barely 21 votes, and two of these were publicly raped at the last moment from Massachusetts. If, therefore, more than 19 or 21 of his votes were demonstrably fraudu lent, all claim to an honest majority disappears. The demonstration can be made as ma,iyore thiji this nam fer without touching on a single honestly debatable case. "This reckoning takes no account of the notorltiB fact that even the un disputed part of Mr. Taft's support was largely artificial and inisrepre sentative, made up of delegates from the outlying possessions, from hope lessly democratic states, and from states Where the people had been successlully denied the expression o! their will. It is sufficient to consider only the lour confessedly indefensible cases of California, Arizona, Wash ington and Texas, which alone wipe out the margin. All thai could he au ded from the other cases would only in.reaBe the ltoosevclt majority ot the honest convention. But 1 wish it distinctly understood that many of these other cases were as clear as th California ease itself. Assault on Peoples Rights. "Three of these cases were a dlrei assault on the right of the people to elect their own delegates at primar les, since In them a few score poll il, Inns decided that the voters as a whole had no right themselves to decide whom they wished to see nom inated. In the California nase, tin delegates to the national convention were elected by direct uie at state wide preferential primaries. The national committee tirst, and then the national republican convention, nullitled the state law, and there fore, by Inference, all state primary laws.

TWO AMENDMENTS ARE MUCH DISCUSSED Both Somewhat Impair Gov ernment's Strength Ar thur Bafour Is Opposed to an Irish Senate. London. July 12. The government, urged on by the nationalists, has de cided that faster progress must be made with the committee stage of the home rule bill. The bill went to the committee of the whole house on June 11, and al though four days have since been given to consideration of the amend ment offered even the first clause has not yet been passed. This was largely due to the fact that the government gave the members their own time for discussion and no attempt was made to introduce either the "guillotine" or "kangaroo closure," two means which the minister in charge has of shorten- ng the debate. That one of thole means must and will be introduced goes without saying as otherwise the opposition could block the bill for ever. The ('kangaroo" will probably be adopted, as it leads to less friction. To lo this a resolution is parsed by the house in ordinary session empowering he chairman of committee to pick out what amendments he believes to be moat important and allow discus sion on them, skipping all the rest. The "guillotine" Is more ruthless. The minister in charge of the bill sim ply moves the closure when and where he likes and discussion must stop. The tirst and most Important amendment was Introduced by Mr. Asjar-Robork . 'rnish member, who like many non -conformists of Cornwall, fears that his follow-reli glonists would not receive fair plaj from the Catholic majority In Ireland He moved that the northeastern conn ties of ('Ister (Antrim, Armagh, Down and Ixmdonderry) should not be 'in luileil In the operations of the bill On this amendment the government's majority dropped to 89, but this was largely due to the absence of slxt labor members and no fewer than eleven liberals, either through illness r being engaged in labor disputes and lit -elections in the country. Five lh mis, however, actually voted against the government. These with Mr Agar-Robartt , having registered their objection to Protestant Ulster being Included, will probably support the bin through the rest of its stage. IHvcrslly of Opinion. Among the Irish unionists them selves, outside the house, there was a leclded difference of opinion on the advisability of this amendment, al- Ihough It received the full support of the unionists in the house. There Is a large body of unionist opinion in Ire land that believes that, should home rule come, the nationalist party would he split Into two camps, radical conservative, the former led by Joseph Devlin and the latter by John lied mond, and that the control of the Dublin legislature would fall Into the hands of the Ulster and Dublin bus! noss men, and, therefore, it would be advantageous to have us many Ulster mi mberS in the house as possible. The other amendment, also Intro duced by a private liberal member proposed that the provision for a sec ond chamber or senate should be de lected. This wus one of the most dan gerous amendments that could be In troduced. as all the labor members and a large number of radicals are nronoiinced one-chamber men. The lovallv of the laborltes to the nation allsts, who have In the past been of assistance to the labor party more than once, however, saved the day and rave the government a majority f 89. still 20 below the normal ma lorlty. but better than the 69 of the lay before. One of the strongest pleas for slngl hamber government came from, th ndlc.il members with colonial cxperl ence who claimed that It had worked well when tried In the dominion. Jos oh Martin, a former premier of Hrlt sh Columbia and member of the Fed eral House at Ottawa, was one of the mcst psistStSWl supporters of th amendment, giving the Canadian prnv inces us example of the benefits of sin gel houses. Ilalfour for One OianilK-r. "The unionists supported th amendment, believing that the labor Ites would do likewise and that th government majority would reach near vanishing point. Arthur Balfour, wh although no. longer titular leader, si ill often takes actual lead, spoke on he half of the opposition. The house grew merry when he, a pronounced two chamber man, wanted only one for Ireland. He Justified his position however, with the argument that tw hnmbers were necessary where grea Imperial questions were consider but so In the rase of a legislature which was meant to do ' small, subor dlnute and local work."

Washington, July 12. Charles D Hilles, secretary to the president and chairman-elect of the republican na tional committee, has spent much time in consultation with his chief and other party leaders on how to prevent Col. Roosevelt from getting the elec toral vote in states which the repub licans carry and in which the electors named are Roosevelt men. Of the eight hours Mr. Hilles spent at the White House seven were devot ed to discussing this perplexing ques tion. To the prest- and to the presi dent some of the leaders said the mat ter would right itself, but no feasible plan has been suggested. The situation in Kansas, South Da kota, Pennsylvania, California, New Jersey, Illinois, Oregon and Washing ton is alarming to Taft. With the ex- ption of North Dakota and Washing. . these states voted for Roosevelt the primaries, North Dr.kota gave vote to La Follette, Washington held no primaries, but is admittedly ro-Roosevelt. In all these states the Roosevelt men have things In splendid shape, the president and Mr. Hilles were told, to support Roosevelt men electors. In fact, Roosevelt men were named as electors m all but two f these states in Ihe primaries. Senator Penrose and Represerna- ves Burke and Moore of Pennsyiva- ia frankly told Mr. Tuft and Mr. lilies that the situation In Pennoylva- ia was not at all satisfactory. They are f the opinion that there will be two sets of republican electors in the field n Pennsylvania. The situation in Kansas is worrying Taft and Hilles and Senator Curtis more perhaps than any other. If the Lift managers name electors to he oted upon 'in the coming primary In Cansas and lose, they will lose the ight to name a set of electors by pe- Itlon. Some members of the "Old uard" in Kansas have told the presl- ent that there Is a possible chance f leetlng Taft electors In the pri- nary. It is because of this Informs- Ion that Hilles has about coneltulm o let the Taft candidates for electors n KaMM go into the primary in Aug- st. Petitioning by voters of California i name a full slate of Taft electors In alifornla probably will be the pro gram in that state. Representative I.tynes of California, talked with Mr. lilies today regarding such a move, le seems to think that the electors hosep In the primary which gave Cal- fornia's delegates to the former presl- ent will be selected In November. ither California leaders are of the pinion that Taft's only chance' In alifornla is to name a complete slate f electors. While the Taft machine at Chicago was able to seat Taft delegates from Washington, it is not In a position, ac cording to word from that state, to arry the stale for Taft. It is feared hat Roosevelt, If he runs, will carry with him most of the electors. It is robable that two slates of electors will be named In Washington, as well ts Oregon. The latter slate Is con- eded to Roosevelt unless the latter s prevented from claiming the elec tors. AMERICAN WHS FINALS IN THE HURDLE MCE Fred C. Kelly Finishes First and James Wendall Second.

HMD PROBLEM La Follette in Current Number of His Weekly Again Emp ties Vials of His Wrath. WILSON COMMENDED TO PROGRESSIVES Wisconsin Senator Says Hun dreds of Them Will Sup port Democratic Nominee. Washington, July 12. Under the caption "The Case of Mr. Roosevelt," Senator LaFollette has written an edi torial in the current number of "La Follette's Weekly," which says in part: "Bryan at Baltimore foregoing all chances of his own nomination, brav ing Tammany and the trusts to rescue his party from their domination, car rying the convention to the adoption of the most progressive democratic platform yet offered and the nomina tion of the most progressive demo cratic candidate available was a tower ing figure of moral power and patriotic devotion to civic righteousness. Roos evelt at Chicago, backed by money derived from the stock-watering op erations of the tteel and harvester trusts, organizing fake contests as to nearly 200 delegates to control the re publican convention and secure his own nomination, refusing to aid In making a progressive platform, bound to have the nomination or destroy the republican party, was a most striking example of misdirected power and un worthy ambition. Roosevelt had an great an opportunity to serve the cause at Chicago as Bryan had at Baltimore, but Roosevelt was serving a man, not a cause. He wanted one thing the nomination. "Yet he didn't have enough dele gates to have nominated a real pro gressive platform. He could have nominated Hadley on such Hlatform and progressive republican:! could have supported Hadley as hundreds of thousands of them will support Wil son. Hut Roosevelt wouldn't consider Hadley. He would have no one but himself. At the tirst suggestion of Hadley he ordered third party maneu vers lest he lose his followers. "Analysis will show that neither Taft nor Roosevelt, had a majority of honestly or regularly elected dele gates. Each was trying to seat enough fraudulently credenrtaled delegates to control the convention and steam-roll the nomination. Roosevelt was not governed by any suggestion of that spirit of high, patriotic and unselfish purpose of which Bryan furnished such a magnllicent example one week ater in the democratic convention." ROOSEVELT TO BEGIN HIS CAMPAIGN SOON Will Tour South as Well as North and West Before Election. Oyster Bay, Jury 12. Within less than a fortnight Colonel Roosevelt probably wll begin the campaign trips which are to carry him Into al most every state of the union before the November election. Although he has not reached a tiuul decision, he expects to leave Oyster Hay week aft er next. Kansas, Iowa and Michigan are tentatively on the program. He may ulso attend the Chicago conven tion of the new progressive party. The purpose of Col. Roosevelt's trip, If It Is made, will be to tour states In which primaries will soon be held to nominate electors. "I've been asked to go to the three states to take part In the primaries campaign," he said last night. "I have not definitely made up my mind. Both the Roosevelt and Taft forces are go ing to make a fight at the primaries. und each of them has announced In advance that It will not abide by the result In rase It Is beaten. The fight will be to see which side will have to name Us candidates tor presidential electon by petition instead of having them on the republican ticket. "The primaries In these states will tie held before long, and If I make the trip, I shall leave In tsn or twelve days." Colonel Roosevelt Indicated that during the campaign he experts to speak to more person than almost any other candidate In the history of the country. He says he will cam paign In the south as vigorously ss In the north. It Is largely through this personal sppeal that Colonel Moose volt hopes to carry the day. "This la a eruoadere tight." he said yesterday. "I huvo lold men who of fered to gn with us that Ihey should not do so utiles the fire was burnad Into their souls." Nt reiar Meyer Improved.
