action in this matter, it at the same
time expresses in unmistakable terms
that in the event said committee fails to
act, that the object and intent of the
Democratic primary election will he de
feated. This affirmation is in its nature
dis0rganizing, and is what Mr.. Hay
craft wanted to get from me. | never
have, and never intend. by act or word,
to defeat the organization of DemOcrI-
cy, and more especially at crisis like
this in Il Presidential year, when Gefeat
means ruin.
In his letter Mr. Haycraft wanted me
to say in effect that if the Ohio county
Committee failed 10 order a primary
election IN the manner Indicated by the
District Committee, that we would both
agree that the action of the other colIn-
ties was II nullity, even though the
Democrats of Ohio county should hold
AN election without regard To the action
of the County Committee, rs ! under
stand they propose to do, and thus con
tune his candidacy though might be
nominated by ever so large majority
Thus regarding the object of Mr.. Hay
crafts letter refused to sign il. He
purposely avoids to ,lo me the justice To
say that ! submitted to him at Glenn
willie and Iivermore the following letter,
which he refused Ia sign:

that the vote of Ohio county should bC
taken either by the action of the Coun
ty Committee or by the District Com

taken by the Democratic people them

County cOmmitte had refused to ap
point the officers ia the mamie
indicated, and he had no reasona
