| Show Mr Roosevelt's New Party To 10 Have Weak Fo Foundation HE E tribute paid to the Republican platform as asI THE I adopted at Chica Chicago o by Go Governor Gornor Hadley of M Missouri places Mr Roosevelt's new party on the only foundation that is left the left the charge that I two seventy delegates were stolen from him As one of the the the-l leading fading dinS dinS' progressives in the Republican party as the matt man up upon n whom nhom the former President at first settled as ns his candidate for temporary chairman of ot the convention the idol of the galleries whom the colonel a at last made his floor leader Governor Go Hadley Had Had- Icy ley is well qualified and entitled to speak for the radicals in the party organization when he lie says that the declaration of faith adopted b by the convention contention is the most progressive platform we have e ever cr presented pre seated to the thc American people This statement by one of those in in whom Mr Ir Roosevelt earl early placed confidence and md to whom he entrusted his fortunes in the convention is ample attestation that the Republican party has arranged a program of safe and sane sanc progressivism ism that will appeal to every Republican except those who elect to follow Colonel Roosevelt because tIfe they believe c it may be of political advantage to themselves Fully as capable of judging what is reactionary and what is progressive as is Mr Roosevelt himself Governor Go Radle Hadley strips the third party part movement of an any legitimate legitimate legitimate legit legit- claim that it is formed to spread the gospel of progressivism He reduces it to the level of being founded found d upon the charge of stolen delegates aided and abetted by the ambitions of the third term can Even if these contests had not been settled in the only way possible under party part law party part rules and party precedents precedents first first by bythe the national committee t then en the credentials committee then b the by by convention convention con con- itself their itself their free gift to Mr Roosevelt elt Would world have enabled him to do no more than create a deadlock and force the nomination of some ume aspirant other than himself and Mr Taft He could by no possibility have compelled his own nomination except except by getting from Mr Taft delegates which were instructed instructed in in- in ted for the President using upon the southern delegates those arguments which the Harvester trust and the steel trust trost find most effective There could haVe hare been no other outcome than that outlined above even had Colonel Roosevelt received ed all of those sev sev- two enty-two delegates The colonel was given the opportunity to achieve the nomination of a third candidate can can- an opportunity he spurned for the simple reason that he was drunken with ambition and was determined to rule his party parry as its nominee or destroy destroy destroy de de- de- de stroy it by bolting It comes tomes with ith ill grace from nom Mr Ir Roosevelt to declare that two seventy delegates were stolen when his managers admitted that the contests filed against 6 more delegates were begun merely for the H psychological psychological I effect and that they never expected that they would get any of them Since the colonel filet filed contests agai against st Taft delegates why does he declare declare declare de de- clare that only two seventy of them were stolen f Isit la Is lait it because his members of the national committee voted against only two seventy That logic fails because his members of the credentials committee protested against the seating eating of the Indiana dele dele- large gates went before the convention and made despicable charges against a former vice ice president of the United States and a n former governor of In In- Indiana Indiana Indiana diana Ia in 1 an endeavor to unseat them while the Roosevelt Roose members of the national com corn committee h had d voted doted unanimously with ith the thc Taft members to seat these Taft large delegates from Indiana If the the- contest against Taft delegates were so flimsy that even en Mr Ir Roosevelt dare make no protest against their being abandoned why has bas the country not the right to suppose that the contests against the remaining two seventy were equally without basis 1 Colonel Roosevelt's claims reduced to their PalPable palpa palpable ble absurdity is that he alone should have hae been the judge fudge of the credentials of these delegates Since some acme of his own delegates voted to seat no less than fi sixteen of these two seventy-two and on several ballots nine forty-nine of those delegates who supported the Taft delegations delegation were not adherents of Mr Taft and did not Dot vote yote for him on final roll call calI it should be apparent ap parent to tG every honest minded fair-minded citizen that Colonel Roose Roosevelt's elt's claims
