(Continued From Page One.) and Equality, the home of the free the refuge of the oppressed, the goal of the strong and the aspiring who would share our inheritance of Law and Order. And we praise Thee for the multitude who have found bless ing within our borders; we thank Thee for every beneficicnt institu tion established within the domain for what of Justice has become the common law of the land, for our goodly heritage of tolerance and peace. 'And we beseech Thee, Lord of Hosts, be with us, as Thou hast been with our fathers. Help us to prove ourselves worthy of Thy blessings Make us mindful of our duties as well as our rights, our responsibili ties as well as our privileges. Grant us the insight that a people perish- ethi where ther is no vision and the understanding that a great nation maketh its rulers Righteousness and its officers Peace, seeketh leaders who despise the gain of oppression and withhold their hands from bribes maketh chief those whose glory .it is to serve mankind by Justice! Fidelity and Truth. Bestow upon the delegates assembled the spirit of wisdom and understanding, of coun sel and might, that they decide in justice and equity and not after the sight of their eyes or the hearing of their ears, and that they guide themselves by the truth that right eousness exalteth a nation and injus tice is a reproach to any people. "And so may Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done on : earth. Amen.' The nervousness which hung over the convention yesterday was un noticeable today. No one knew then what to expect; today policemen chatted and laughed, secure in the belief that hey could handle what ever might develop. Root announced that an agreement was reached be- ween Watson and Hadley that three hours debate, equally divided, be ad mltted. The unfinished business taken up was Hadley's demand for elimination of ninety-two contested delegates from the temporary roll. When Hadley opened the debate he was received with cheers. Hadley opened the three hours' debate agreed upon, for the argu ment of his motion to unseat ninety- two contested Taft delegates. Jeers greeted Hadley before he proceeded. He rebuked these, and asked serious consideration for the arguments on both sides. He finished at 11:58, W. T. Dov- ell, of Washington, opened the argu ment for the other side. Hadley during his argument said: It may be true there are many per sons who do not agree with us that Theodore Roosevelt sliould be our candidate for president, but there can be no difference of opinion that his voice is the greatest of the west ern world." Hadley read the "in dictment" of the national' commit tee, as uttered by Roosevelt Mon- ay night. It called forth big cheer. He reviewed yesterday's events lead ing up to Chairman Rosewater's rul ing, quashing Hadley's motion to purge the temporary roll. Hadley said: "We could have forcibly in sisted on calling the roll on that mo tion and we could ... forcibly have taken control. Instead we chose to wait patiently until today." Hadley pleaded that personalities be left out of debate, that the question was not one of any man's candidacy, but of principle, involving the very exist ence of the republican party itself. Dovell, in his speech was Interrupt ed with angry jeers and questions from the Roosevelt partisans. Dow ell characterized as recklessly false, a statement credited to Roosevelt that an effort was made to "steal" the Washington, delegates. i H. J. Allen followed Dovell, sup porting the Hadley motion. Allen was challenged to say whether he would support the convention nom inee. He said he would "on the con ditions that his nomination Is not accomplished by fraud and thiev ery." A great uproar of cheering, and angry shouts followed. Senator Hemingway, of Indiana, spoke against the Hadley motion. Despite occasional outbursts during the course of the debate, it was appar ent the convention's temper was better than yesterday. The tension apparently had relaxed everywhere. Great Disorder. Great disorder occurred during a certain part of Hemingway's speech. From the Pennsylvania delegation came the ell: "How about Pen rose?" Shaking his fist in the dele gation's faces, Hemingway, hie face flushed, shouted: "Give me Pen- rose before Flinn; every time." The Pennsylvanians went wild. Climbing upon tneir chairs, and - branuisning their fists, they yelled epithets upon Hemingway. Flinn took a promi nent part in the storm of vitupera tion. The tumult continued several minutes, yells and jeers coming from every part of the hall. . After a sem blance of order was restored Chairman Root informed Flinn gravely that if lie wanted to commend his cause to decent people he must listen respect fully to an argument. Flinn amid confusion arose to make a point of order, but was ordered to take his seat. He stood defiantly for a mo ment, then sat down. George L, Record, of New Jersey, for the Roosevelt side of the argument, fol lowed Hemingway. The Lie Passed. A war of heated words broke out n the Indiana deleeation durinir Kecord s speech. The ie was pass ed between Captain English and Delegate Dye. Great confusion was caused. Mavor Shank, of Ind olis, said Record was a liar. He can get a scrap out of me If he wants u, yenea snaiiKs. The hall was comparatively silent when Shanks hurled this challenee at Record. speaking on the stage. During the aisoraer ine chairman ordered five minutes intermission at 1 1 r, no those desiring could leave for the af ternoon, l lie band played merry airs during the -intermission.'.-. .Gov ernor.

Ar-nlnol the threats, charges and bitter in vective ot tne iloosevolt forces, the Taft Stmnorters in the rnniil,ll,.an national convention put through the urst portion ot their program by electing Senator Elllm Root, of New York, as temporary chairman. In spite of the fact that Victor Rose water, chairman of the national com mittee, consistently ruled out of order every motion made by the Roosevelt forces, it required more than five hours to reach a vntj mi the chairmanship. The calling of the roll was beset With difficulties from thn vorv Hl name on the list of delegates, but in tne end, when the tumult had died Way.
