altsrnates to the republican national con-
vsntion :,
dates 70 vote for President Roossvelt's NOM
nation. first last and ell the time.
M. aallsrs Withdraws.
Mr.. Albert sillsrs. who was formerly
named on the Chase ticket. has thought
better Of his action. and today. in con-
ver.ation with q reporter for The Star.
said:
After fully considering the matter Of
my candidacy for alternate to the Chicago
convention I have concluded to withdraw
my name from the ticket. During the
campaign my. sole object was to see that
men Of integrity and intelligence were Sc
lected to go as delegates, and men who
would name as national committeeman one
who would properly represent the people OF
the District in the national organization.
II have attended numerous conferences
and public meetings during this campaign
and am fully convinced that the people Of
the District are in accord with President
Roosevelt's administration and are Of one
opinion in the matter of who should rep
resent them on the national committee. SO
long as there Is such feeling existing 1t
should be the desire of every one that only
one ticket be presented to the voters next
Tuesday.
THE one man who is eminently qualified
to represent the District and the man who
is wanted by almost everybody Is Cen
George H. Harries. His selection would
please all factions. General Harries has
been a lifelong republican, and has been
prominently identified with the building up
Of the national capital He is man whose
character is above reproach, and whose
intelligence and sound judgment would
make him an Ideal representative of the
Districts interests in the national organi-
cation.
'In conclusion 1 desire to thank my
friends for the support they have given
me and hope they will display good judy
ment at the polls next Tuesday and vote
for the delegates who will present Gen.
Harries' name when they go to the con-
vention.''

Mr.. Horner's Statement.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
It started about two months ago and
organized a club in the eleventh district
and other parts of the District of Columbia,
all of the members pledging their support
to the Richa rdson-Poe ticket for my sake,
and simply because of my being an alter
nate on that ticket. l worked earnestly
and faithfully to within a few days ago.
when the Simmons and Richardson fac
tons met and formed what they called
combine. forcing Dr. Richardson to be
alterr ate-the tail end of the tche.-and
dropping my name entirely from tina Rich
ardson-Poe ticket, without my knowledge
or consent.
Feeling that l have been treated shame
fully and unjustly, I hereby call upon my
friends to use their every effort to defeat
the Richardson-Poe and Simmons Richard
son factions.
(Signed) COLEMAN HORNER.
Mr.. Simmons Communication.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l hope you will do me the justice of cor
recting the statement In your issue Of yes
terday that have been opposed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt" Such statement Is abso-
lutely false and without foundation In fact.
My actions in the past prove the falsity of
airy such Statement I have always adj
mired President Roosevelt; have always ad-
vocated his cause and shall continue to do
so. His policies have been wise. beneficial
and just. He is the logical man for our
next President, and besides. the interests
of the country demand his election. The
man who says that 1 have ever thought
or acted otherwise can not do so without
knowingly sneaking an unuualifiad false.
