SIR: My attention has been called to an ar
tcle in today OF your paper under the head OF
Supporting the President" which appears TO be a
statement OF one whom you pleased 10 designate as
a prominent Republican" which contains at least one
error that 1 desire TO correct. Among the persons
who he states viii form the nucleus" which
he pleases TO call "A New Party Movement"
is Jourdan Of Kings. II this "prominent Republican
is not better informed the political status of the
other gentlemen whom he has named as members OF his
new party than he Is OF that Of the undersigned, am
disposed TO think that his prominence as Republic
can will not materially assist In the formation OF DO
litical organizations. can only add that have never
heard OF the movement referred to- and that my name
was used without my knowledge or consent Very re-
specially yours, JAMES JOURDAN'
