Contested Rules At National GOP Convention Stir Wariness
The national committee session opened amid protests over rules for contesting delegations. Hitchcock and others protested the exclusion, arguing residency and proxy issues. The body debated calls for a twenty-member requirement to force a recall and set precedents for 229 contests and 28 actions. Indignation spread among Taft supporters as anti-Taft factions gathered, while organized Negro delegates planned to seek recognition at the convention. The committee meets daily at 10 am, with no luncheon recess, as it tackles the hardest tasks in party history.
