Roosevelt Delegates Clash as Steam Roller Dominates Convention
At the Coliseum in Chicago on June 22 the Taft Roosevelt showdown intensified as Henry J. Allen of Kansas declared Roosevelt delegates would not participate further. A riot followed when police halted a march, and Roosevelt supporters staged a 20‑minute demonstration. Allen blasted the process, while Roosevelt urged delegates not to vote, accusing the old committee of fraud and calling for a Roosevelt party. The convention moved ahead with minimal changes as taft favored on the ballot potential renomination, with Sherman as possible vice president. Roosevelt soon left the race to pursue a new progressive party, preparing to return to Oyster Bay.
