HEARST MEN uNsEATEo.
National Committee Recognizes the
Entire Hopkins Delea alton.

st. Louis, July 5.-rhe national COM
mittee ,aet this morning tofreceive re-
ports oi ipcommittees appointed yes
teriay to consider contests in various
states. All contests We're settled last
nuight wiz the exception of New Jer-
sey and I'linots.
The national committee reported In
favor of s ating the Hopins delegates
in all Illil3ois contests
The Harrison and Hearst men We're
greatly Iii she. med by their defeas
and announced their intention of carry
ing their tght before the committee on
credentials and if beaten there. before
the convention itself.
This statement did not alarm the
Hopkins people who said the argument
that won for them before the national
committee would hold good before the
convention.
Contests in other states We're report
ed by various subcommittee as pre-
Niously announced and their action APP
proved by the national committee.
The subcommittee reported to the
national committee that it was the
unanimous opinion of its members that
the Hopkins daiegates be allowed to re-
tain their seats. The report was con-
CURED in and the Hopkins people will
hold their seats unless ousted by action
OF the committee on credentials. The
decision of the subcommittee was based
on the ground that the state conven-
ton was %uprenle, that fights in district
caucuses are not a proper matter for
adjudication by the national committee.
and thai it is not the business of the
national committee to get behind the
records - the convention as submitted
to them. The fight should, in the opin-
ion of tha committee, have beeen made
in the safe before completion of the
record o the convention. This showed
the Hopkins people are the regularly
accredited delegates and sustained
their contention that the national COM
mittee did not have the right TO decide
the contest

his qualities of manhood, truth, cour-
age, devotion to duty, sympathy for
the protection of the weak, kindness,
his exhibition during school days of

three-tenths for the third and two
tenths for the fourth qualification, Sc
that, according to my ideas, if the
