Many political veterans said it was the worst crush of humanity in their convention experience. President Taft s. managers con- cluded: their plans for the figit om floor of eonvention on the asumption fthat the temporary roll as prepared iby the National committee would show Taft majority bya small margin, although they assumed that temporary roll of the committes would become the temporary roll of the convention. Col. Roosevelt and his advisers, evidently familiar with the Taft figures, evolved and ovents an eleventh hour scheme for reducing, this small Taft majority. by means of arrangement to eliminate from the poll on temporary origination those votes which are challenged by Col. Roosevelt. This scheme, fathered by the Il- Ninois delegates and ratified at meeting of Roosevelt delegates this morning was embodied in the follow- ing resolution which was addressed to the body of the convention. Resolves that no election of tem- porary or other officers of this con- vention or resolution or other pro- ceeding shall be taken as the action of this convention or have any effect fanless it-shall receive on a roll call the affirmative votes of five hundred of the delegates who are uncontested) and this resqjution shall govern and be in force during the temporary or- ganization of this convention or un- til permanent organization thereof hall have been effected. Every possible effort was made by the Roosevelt managers to have the Taft leaders agree to . accept and abide by this proposal. Iilinois friends jof Congressman William B. McKin- Jey, President: Taft's -ampaign man- ager sought to have nim avree to te plan. Governor Deneen, Lawrence Y. Phorman, state senator Logan Hay of Springfield and Thos. Healey of Chic- ago were among those. who threw their personal influence into the bal- ance In attempts to-have Mr. McKin ley accept the arrangement.
