Convention turmoil and Root wins temporary chair
The opening day of the Republican convention featured fierce battles between Roosevelt and Taft factions over credentials and temporary officers. Victor Rosewater managed proceedings as Roger Hadley and supporters clashed, Root won the temporary chairmanship by narrow margins, and turmoil persisted as delegates were seated amid protests and shifting votes. The atmosphere remained tense with few tributes to favorites, and plans for tomorrow’s actions centered on committee appointments and contested seats.
