STATEMENT FRUM ROBERTS
Holds that the House Has Set q
Vicious Precedent in Ex-
cluding Him.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The World publishes
the following signed statement from Con-
gressman- elect B. H. Roberts:
THE action OF the house today in my case
was not a surprise to me. The whole matter
was evidently pre-judged and the minds OF
members made up to follow the course that
had been outlined. When the question comes
to be considered by members of the house
after the pressure of public opinion is re-
moved ! think the case will stand as a
vicious violation of the well established pre-
cedents which have fixed the rules of the
house.
THE foundation Is now laid for confusion,
chaos and revolution in the organization OF
the house and the rights of members therein.
A precedent has been established which will
yet excuse the same denial OF rights to "a
Roman Catholic or a Presbyterian an
agnostic or any one who may be unfortunate
enough to stand under condemnation of a
popular sentiment lashed into a frenzy by
Misrepresentation and falsehoOd. as in my
instance, l was met at the very bar of the
house and denied the protection granted by
the rules of that body and the constitution
OF the United States because / was men,

there rests a sectarian hate.
"The matter of denying me the right to be
sworn in is in itself not a very important
matter, so far as affecting me personally Is
concerned, but it is a fact that the right OF
