concerned," declared Colonel Roos
velt to his delegates ard advisors
an address early Thursday morning,
"I am through. If you are voted dow
I hope you, the real and lawful
jority of the convention, will organize
as such and you will do it if you hav
the courage and loyalty of your con
victions."
The Roosevelt members of the ere
dcntials committee left the room
This was brought about by the Taft
forces adopting a rule allowing only
minutes for the hearing of distric
contests and ten minutes for state
contests. Also the refusal to allow
representatives of the press in the
meeting.
