he is a candidate hut 1 will not bolt."
At a caucus meeting held it was

Wide Movement.
George M. Record, one of Roosevelt's
radical supporters says of the
new party movement:
"It is a nation wide movement and
It makes no difference what the delegates
in Chicago do. If not even
ten walk out it will not weaken the
movement. The Strength of this
movement Is now in therhearts of the
-people and cannot be checked by anything
the delegates do or don't* ?
Leaders Disagree
There is a difference of opinion betweep
the Taft leaders from the fget
that a majority wish to make a partial
report from the credential commute
so as to enable the,con vent ion
to go on with Its work. Chairman
Devine of the credential committee
opposes Malbv, of New York, on the
committee. Malby says that the
committee has much work yet to ds
but that they can't hurry as thb
charge of gag rule would be forthcoming
from the Roosevelt supporters.
The chairman of the credential
committee thinks that the committee
win he able to complete Its
work by Saturday night. There will
he no 8unday session of the convention.
Malby further stated, that if
f the Roosevelt advocates Insisted on
calling s separate roll on each delegate
In the convention that It would
mean that the convention would
last from next Monday one week.
Root Boom Growing.
It Is feared that If MTb Roosevelt
plan is adhered to that many of the
delegates would return to their home
ed Its labors. Opinion atfll exists
that If President Taft is net nominated
on the first ballot he will not win. 1

Thfe Third Termer Silent. I
Look" Like Taft.
It looks now as 1C the convention
will continue its session until next
week. A longer option already haa
Seen secured on the Coliseum and
he delegates are busy renewing their
totel room contracts.
The credential.committee has been
:ontlnuously in session since yesterlay
at two o'clock. The committee
is completely exhausted but the
leaders of President Taft will not
consent for them to take a recesB
Tearing a loss of the majority.
In the first fifty four cases disposed
of by the committee they ratified
the ruling of the National committee
teating none of the contested delegates
but those favorable to Presiaent
Taft. Little protest is now being
made by the Roosevelt followers
In the committee. They see and realize
(hat fhey are hopelssly beaten.
New Party Discussed
The sub-committee on drafting the
platform favors a change in the AlIrlch
Currency bill. Ignores all lator
unions, makes protest for labor
planks and suffrage rights up to thef
itates. The platform also favors the
Taft idea of tariff reform. The document
is much more conservative
than in 1903. The credential committee
may not report until sometime
today. If the report is made very
late in all probability the convention
will meet only to adjourn until Saturday
morning. The birth of a new
political party Is much discussed tolay.
Roosevelt Silent.
There was no new statement
soming from Colonel Roosevelt tolay.
Jnst what future course the
party will take depends upon the con.
rentlon. Much depends upon the
-?pert of the credential committee,
rhe dark horse tplk ^ is still in the
?tr hut now it lqokp'uke President
raft has the nomination already secured.
Root Permanent Chairman
The committe on permanent organisation
hi a vpte of 22 tof|7 voted to
make the temnomrr APMihtHm a#
the convention permanent. T)?to continues
Senator Root aa the presiding
officer of the convention. Copley, of
Illinois, moved a substitute for. the
mmmlttee report that action he deferred
until the report of the credential
committee had been received and
tcted, upon by the convention. The
lebate was mild and the Copley motion
was lest by a vote of 7 to 11.
Report Denied

Taft had authorised.Senator Crane
to release the Taft delegates to* the
latfonal republican convention following
Colonel Roosevelt's action in
releasing his was denied by the President
and Senator Crane. Taft la determined
not to compromise anything.
He is In th^ fight to stay. .
MrKinley Satisfied.
The Taft leaders Including Congressman
Wm. B. McKirfley, the
President's campaign manager, expressed
great satisfaction at the development
in the Roosevelt controversy

pf Wisconsin. Both the Wis-1
consin 'and Iowa organizations were .
busy wfth plans for their candidates.
Deny Bolt is Necessary.
Geo. L. Record, of New Jersey, and
ther Roosevelt leaders, announced
that it was not necessary for Colonel
Roosevelt to have a convention as
the former President's announcement
that he was a candidate was
sufficient. They argued that a bolt
was not at all a necessary part of
the Roosevelt program. j
Some of the Roosevelt leaders said i
that their plan was to go to the con-;
vention hall today and demand a rehearing
on the credential proposition
and then unless the convention I
agrees to Colonel Roosevelt's demands
that the alleged fraudulently
seated delegates be ousted a "walk
out" of the Roosevelt delegates
would result.
? Flinn Quits.
William Flinn,, new national com-!
mltteeman from Pennsylvania, and
one of Colonel Roosevelt's chief Hentenants
In the nomination fight, confirmed
early today a report that he
had left the regular Republican or-i
gknisation after the all night conference
with Rooaevelt leaders.
1 IU1 UUH8 Willi lAkl committee,
he said. "That's all there'la to it."
Serion* DImwmIob.
Serious dissension exists In the
Rooaerelt camp. Many of the leadera
are frank in their declaration that
Colonel Rooeevelt had acted too haa
tlly to a number of matters, in coming
to Chicago and in precipitating a
holt from the committee on credentials.
"ItMook# as though the bottom
had dropped out" declared a
Roosevelt supporter. Prectically all
for a compromise candidate comes
from the Roosevelt side of the huso.
Justice Hughes, of New York, and
Governor Hadley. of Missouri, tr?
prominently mentioned for the standard
bearer.
Delay, unoertalnlty and serious
disorder faced the delegates on yesterday.
The quick succession of
events of the night before left a condition
of absolute uncertilnty and
confusion. Even tbe wisest of-party
strategists did not profess to see into
the situation. With Roosevelt
calling upon his followers to disregard
the credential committee and
organise for themselves and with the
Taft leaders conferring with the
tfce friends of possible third candidates,
the air Was electric In suggestion
\>f heretofore unexepcted complications.

al Democratic convention was held ed
on May 12. 1832. at Baltimore, andjbal
adopted two rules which have RUld-'int

The third convention held on May pla

for Vice President, leaving that to det
the several states. It also put for- Oh

platform were Incorporated into the ]
