tee or the Illinois division, League or
American Wheelmen, has demanded of
President Potter that George K Bar
rett, who got out political circular in
tended to pledge the American Wheel
mems votes to Carter Harrison for may
or of Chicago, be suspended from the
league.
Members of the joint L. A. w. and A.
c. C. committee, who have been work.
ing for the interests of the bicycle bag
gage bill, sent a telegram to Mr.. Potter
in New York, sustaining Consul Pattee
in his request.
The Evening Post requested OF Presi-
dent Potter that he define the attitude
he would take in disciplining Chicago
members for getting out the circular.
Following is Mr.. Potter's telegram in
reply:
"a member of the league may be dis
ciplined or expelled only when guilty of
conduct prejudicial to the interests of
the organizat tion. The railroads of I'LL
nois and other states, east and west,
have mulcted the wheelmen to the ex-
tent of hundreds of dollars by unlawful
charges, and by sundry methods have
debauched and perverted legislation in
their efforts to defeat the wheelmen and
to serve their own ends. The wheelmen
of Illinois are seeking to elect public
officers who will not be corrupted by
railroad influences, and, as understand
the situation, they have gone into poll
tics for the purpose. If they find Illinois
politics to be unworthy of the organiza-
tion they are more unfortunate than sin
f,,I Hba T nf mo Uhaal-
men will support the cyclists Of Illinois.
and will look to them to set an example
in their efforts for wheelmen's rights
and better roads which other states may
profitably emulate"
Late this afternoon the L. A. w. lead
ers In this city went into executive ses-
sion. Many OF the wheelmen present
repudiated the Barrett circular. and the
meeting issued counter circular which
is virtually an Endorsement of the Re-
publican candidate for mayor.
