Pointed Letter of the Secretary OF the
Republican Nationai Convention.
WASHINGTON, Feb. os.-secretary
Charles Dick, OF the National Republican
Committee, has sent the following letter
to Chairman E. H R. Greene. of the
Texas Republican State Committee. in
reply to an inquiry from the latter in re-
gard to the acrediting of Federal office
holders as delegates to the National Re-
publican convention:
WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-IIon. e. FL
r. Greene chairman, Terrell, Texas: In
reply to your esteemed favor of recent
date I would say that while the National
Committee does not assume to interfere
in the selection of delegates. yet in order
to avoid adverse criticisms it is deemed
advisable that SO far as practicable del
egations to the coming National conven-
ton should be composed of those not
holding Federal appointments.
There are, of course. justifiable ex-
ceptions to this rule, but public sentiment
dictates that Federal officials shall not
be too prominently identified with tte
management of the political conventions.
In view OF this consideration. it is
hoped that the coming convention may
be free from the criticism which has
sometimes obtained where a large per-
=centage Of the delegates were office hold
ers under the government.
