the pretense that Tafts Taft's nomination had been secured by dishonest means Cout Contest Content t Over Onor nel S I 1 propose as briefly as possible to review rc the action of the in seating contested delegates delegate because It Is upon this question that the whole claim of ot dishonesty rests and first I call attention to the fact that tho contested contested contested con con- tested delegates wore cre sea seated led by b- the overwhelming o vote ote of oC the national committee tho the credentials C committee and finally finaly b by tIme the convention Itself To sa say that alj these tribunals of or a apart part party were nest Is IR to assert the dishonesty of oC the party Itself A great greaf political part party parts does not hot gut suddenly nl h become be he- come como dishonest any an more than an in individual In- In who has led led an aim uptight upright and honorable life lire suddenly turns dishon lIshon- est cst In the main the time national committee com corn was the same a as that which l decided the contests be before Core the convention eon con of oC 1908 In which frauds rands were werl charged quite as strenuously as In 1912 but there wits no word from from Mr II Roosevelt elt then save e of appreciation and approval d For the first time in the tIme history of oC the party part these contests vere cre conducted conducted con con- ducted dueled he before fore the public Nothing ot was hidden and nothing j suppressed ed The facts therefore are ale at the tho command of oC an any one who will wiil take the trouble to read the record The difficulty however ho Is that so man many people ac accept accept ac- ac cepl tho time bald assertion of or bigoted partisans partisans par pal instead ad of or investigating In the tIme facts for Cor or themselves I 1 was a member of oC that convention con an and voted upon er e every contest which was presented I listened with care and with an open ollen mind to the presentation of t the e re respective re- re e cases and I assert rt here and anti antinow now that thal In m my deliberate Judgment every everyone one of those contests was fairly and honestly determined by b by the convention con eon It Jl may be said sale In passing passing- that 38 contests wore originally in instituted In- In b by the time friends of or President ex-President Roosevelt Hoose One hundred and sixty four Cour of oC them or moro than two t were ele decided against Mr II Roosevelt's contention con con- conI I by br the tIme unanimous vote of oC the time I national committee committee Mr Roosevelt's strongest adherents upon that committee commit commit- tee ec being unable to find an any justification tion for voting otherwise Among mon the time contests there were ere twenty twenty- twenty four rOUl our from rom Alabama two Twenty two of tiL m were decided deckled i by unanimous vote ote in favor ol of oC President Taft Tart and two b by a majority vote In iii favor Cavor of Taft Tart Mr Ir Roosevelt Roose when apprised of oC this tins fact publicly stated that they had never ne counted upon more moro than two of oC these contested dele delegates thereby conceding the frivolous frivolous nv- nv olous and amid dishonest character of oC two twenty out of oC tho the twenty four Why do you suppose the confessedly confess confess- edl edly 16 dishonest and frivolous contests contests con- con tests ests were instituted I I submit to an any man whose hoso mind mInt Is not utter utterly lost to all sense sense of oC shame and reason that a more Indecent and high handed attempt to steal l votes In n a a. convention has hu never ne been known In n political history The remaining seventy four contests which were decided decided de do- In Mr r Tafts Taft's favor or h by a majority of the national committee a majority of ot the cred credentials committee and n a maJority ma- ma of the convention con are now claimed to have been dishonestly decided de do- I submit as a matter of ot common commonsense commonsense commonsense sense that time tile conceded fact that more than han two-thirds two of ot the contests were fraudulently instituted raises a fair presumption if it the tho question were In doubt that the remaining third one-third were likewise fraudulent Senator Sutherland then took toole up In more detail the California Washington and Texas cases and ond continued Content Without Excuse A careful examination of or the facts In n all these contested cases will show how that In man many Instances tho contests were Inaugurated months after the dl delegates
