pose with all his strength the seatingof Senator Root, and issued a call toall his supporters to stand by him.

The colonel's decision to make asquare issue of the seating of Rootwas reached after a consultation withadvisers. At Sagamore Hill todaywere Senator Dixon. GirFord Pinchot.William L. Ward. Xew York: GeorgeW. Perkins. New York: Frank B.Ke!!oj2*g and Andrew Rahn. both ofwhom are from Minnesota, and Trux-tun Beale. a delegate from California.Root a Reactionary

Following, in part, is the statementdictated today by Colonel Roosevelt:

"In the past Mr. Root has rendereddistinguished services as secretary ofstate and secretary of war. But inthis contest Mr. Root ranged himselfagainst the men who stand for pro-gressive nrinciple« within the repub-lican party: that is. against the menwho stand for making the republicanparty in relation to the issues of thepresent day what it was in the days?of Abraham Lincoln. He stands as'the representative of the men and thepolicies of reaction. He is put for-ward by the bosses and the represen-tatives of special privileges.

SOCIALIST SAVEDFROM ANGRY MOB

Police Have tbe Situation inSan Diego Well in

Hand

[Special Dispatch to The Call]SAN DIEGO, June 3.?l_ A. Shiffrin.

a socialist from Oakland, who boasted

he would defy the laws of San Diego,

had an opportunity to teat the temper

of the people here this afternoon, andbut for the effective work of the po-

lice department, led by Sergeant Har-vey Shepherd, he would undoubtedly

have been roughly handled. "Get a

rope!" "Drive him out of town!" "Jailthe anarchist!" and similar cries, min-gled with hisses, greeted the fellow as

he mounted a box and tried to speak

The police surrounded him. Citizens,

believed to be members of the so calledvigilantes, were driven back with up-

raised clubs and Shiffrin was protected

until he reached an office building anddisappeared within. Deputy Attorney

General Benjamin witnessed the demon-stratlon, noted the manner in whichthe officers handled the crowd and

treated the law breaker, and soon aftergave it as his opinion that the officershere are well able and prepared to

handle the situation unassisted and thatlaw breakers of all classes will not betolerated. This, it is said, has alreadybeen embodied in a report telegraphedAttorney General Webb, who is ill Inthe north and who. It is said, can notreturn to San Diego.

The situation is In the hands of Ben-jamin, and after hearing the grand jury

report, which is expected Wednesday,

it is believed he will return ndVth togive his attention to the business whichhas been piling up. It is believed thepresent grand jury can not complete itswork by Wednesday, will so report and

theref6re will not be discharged. Thosewho are watching conditions are now

confident the police have the situation

well in hand and further trouble is notexpected. One thing is certain?-they

will not tolerate further invasion by

anarchists. A. B. Carson, arrested whiledefying the ordinance last week andcharged with resisting an officer, was

found not guilty this morning.

There are now 17 of the original

22 I. W. W. prisoners who at-tempted to wreck the city jail Satur-day. Five tired of the straight

water diet during today and were re-leased. The remaining 17 promised

to submit to discipline thia even-ing if they were given a meal.Their offer was accepted, appetising

food was served the crowd and they

have since been quiet, though still insolitary confinement. The subsisted onthe "all water" diet for thirty-sixhours.

EIGHTH DISTRICT GIVESCOLONEL HARDEST BLOW

COLUMBUS, 0., June 3.?Presi-dent Taft showed such strengthin the preliminary skirmishestoday that politicians tonight

declared he was assured of Ohio's sixdelegates at large when the conven-tion resumes tomorrow.

In the new state central committee,named by county delegates before theopening of the convention, PresidentTaft is conceded 11 of the 21 mem-bers. His strength In the resolutionscommittee was shown in the majority

report touight. The committee by avote of 12 to 9 decided to recommendto the convention that "we do heartilyindorse the administration of WilliamHoward Taft."

Sop for RooseveltersIn spite of the Taft strength In the

central committee, Chairman WalterBrown, manager of Colonel Roose-velt's campaign In the state, was re-elected by a vote of 13 to 8. This wasafter the delegates in a test vote hadrefused to elect him temporary chair-mau by a vote of 11 to 10.

Brown conceded that his was a per-sonal victory, and In a speech ad-mitted that some of those who hadvoted with him tonight would beagainst him in the convention.

The Taft forces were winners In themeeting of the credentials committee.Seven contested Taft delegates fromLawrence county were seated by avote of 19 to 2. and four delegatesfrom Crawford county were grantedcredentials.How Rosevelt Lost

The chief blow to Roosevelt In thedistrict meeting came in the eighthdistrict, which selected a completelist of Taft committeemen.

Walter Brown as chairman In themeeting had the first chance.

"Representative government hs ontrial in Ohio today," he said. "Theissue is whether this convention shallrepresent the will of the people orwhether it shall misrepresent them.At the primary election tbe republi-cans in 34 out of the 42 districts de-clared emphatically for former Presi-dent Roosevelt. Are you going tothwart the expressed will of the re-publican voters of the state?"

Both Candidates CheeredRoosevelt's name brought forth the

first demonstration. Pro-Rooseveltdelegates and alternates apparently ap-proximating about half of those on thefloor, cheered for several minutes. TheTaft people got their chance a littlelater, when Senator Burton mentionedthe president and enumerated some ofthe accomplishments of the republicanparty during the last four years. Ledby the Cincinnati delegation, the dele-gates broke Into a cheer which k?.<

a litt'e longer than that for Roose-velt.

Now We Have Come atLast to the Month

Of BridesBy J. R. HAMILTON

Former Advertising Mauser of Wuamaker'i, Philadelphia

(Coprrf__te_)

XTEXT to December, June is the BUSIEST andmost INTERESTING month in the year. And

whether you are a bride, a mother or merely a MALECONTINGENT, you will probably find it so.

Right now there is such a STITCHING and SEWING andHUMMING of needles going on; such BUSTLING and HURRY-ING and FLUTTERING ACTIVITY as has not been heard and?een in Christendom for a whole year.

\ou are a poor lonely mortal indeed if your sympathies do notextend to some new bride and to the founding of some new home.*

So get busy. ALL OF YOU, and see if you can't think of some-thing this year besides spoons.

The little Specialty Stores ought to help you a great deal right now ifthey will only ADVERTISE the well selected stock which they usuallyhave. Otherwise they are liable to charge you THREE PRICES fortheir wares and you had better let them alone. So follow the LITTLEadvertising carefully.

The big advertisers of course will be here with all the BEST ANDCHOICEST at their command. THEIR advertising is as importantto you this month as any news in the paper.

It is a bit startling to realize it, but this season of the year marks thecreation of nearly half the peoples of the earth. This is the BEGIN-NING of a new generation of men and women, the FOUNDING, allover the world, of NEW HOMES.

It calls for an interest as general and as widespread as if civilizationwere starting all over again. Homes must be BUILDED and FUR-NISHED COMPLETE and even the LAND underneath them mustbe bought. Furniture, pianos, rugs and stoves all become part of the bigEARTH PLAN that centers about the coming of the bride. Even thebest clothes we can possibly afford are none too good to honor the event.

Well, there are MANY THOUSANDS of you reading this papertoday, so whatever is WORTH WHILE in merchandise throughout thiscity will probably be ADVERTISED HERE.

If you do not find what you are looking for HERE, it will hardlybe worth your while to look elsewhere. ANY MERCHANT WHOOVERLOOKS AN AUDIENCE AS LARGE AS THIS CANSCARCELY BE VERY SHREWD, AND SO YOU CANWELL AFFORD TO PASS HIM BY.

Every factory wheel in the world is WHIRRING FASTER tomeet the demands of June ?the Month of Brides?and you will prob-ably have to do a little whirring YOURSELF to meet the demandson you. So turn to the advertising now. It wili help you out
