ATTITUDE OF SOUTHERN DELEGATES
While the position Of many Of the Southern
delegates Is one Of extreme uncertainty ~
probable that the following statement "iaoe W
Delegate Lynch. of Mississippi, represents pretty
fairly the attitude Of majority OF the Sou'her"
man Lynch ,s a colored man, Represen-
tative In the List Congress. acted as temporary
chairman Of the Chicago Convention IN 1907
sorved as one OF the auditors OF the Treasury IN
President Harrison's Administration, ana Is
now AT the head OF faction OF the Repuohcah
party in the. State OF Mississippi which claims
TO have elected regular" delegates TO the d.
Louis Convention. The contestng faction IS lea

not believe that II IL right that our people OF ne
Rcpubcans in Southern states should go 10 % a n
other contest, decide who should be nominated
believe that the Republican s1a'e have wst To e, the
President should be allowed to decide who me can,
