Real Fight in Taft Delegates Row Over Indiana Contests
Taft supporters win a 36 to 14 seat in the fourth Indiana district after a midair switch on affidavits from Roosevelt lawyers. The committee initially delayed California, then moved to Indiana contests, with clashes over affidavits and rule adherence. Senator Borah taunts Taft men as fears of fraud and steamroller tactics heat the room amid a broader fight for Taft delegates.

Disputed affidavits shaping Indiana taft seating vote
The debate over admitting affidavits continues as lawmakers clash on precedent. Horace Stillwell presents signed affidavits claiming the 13th Indiana district delegates backed Graham, not Taft, and a Taft seating vote is finally approved 36 to 14 after roll call.
