on the part of the Perkins organization.
that nothing is desired at your hand
trenching upon your rightful authority,
The work before you is to preserve the
right of all regularly elected delegates
10 the end that the business of the
convention be transacted in an orderly
and consistent manner. You will be
interested, therefore, in consulting au-
thorlttes in party government, looking
70 the lrecedents established by ma
tional conventions.
You have doubtless observed that
Mr.. Perkins. in letter addressed to
MS associate candidates for the guber-
material nomination, has suggested ar
bltration, with your assent, by the ma.
tlonal committee. If this proposition
should fail to meet approval on the part
OF other candidates, it would be within
your province to refer this matter to
the national committee as a means of
aiding you to conclusions such as
would stand the test of the highest par
ty authority. In the event Of failure
you should be ready to act upon your
own initiative and under the authority
confided in you by party precedents.
1t will be necessary for you to exam
Inc into the merits of a number of
contests, and your determination will
be Influential with the convention
Questions will arise as to the regular
lty with which certain delegations
under the call of your committee and
the call Of the local committees, were
named. Party law and precedents will
De invoked and your committee will be
the authority to which inevitably ap-
peal will be taken. In contemplation
OF all this and more my suggestion
Is that careful preparation on the part
OF your committee, inaugurated at the
earliest date, Is required In order to OBJ
tain results most satisfactory to you
and best conserving the harmony and
welfare Of the party.
On the part OF the Perkins organiza-
ton, submit to you, and through you
to the public, that the material question
with which the convention will have
to deal is the question of its own ,regu-
larity and integrity involving primarily
the good repute and welfare of the
great party in whose name 1t will be
assembled. My excuse for addressing
you on this subject Is that knowledge
of many details, gained through weeks
Of intimate relation to the campaign,
has impressed me with the seriousness
of the party situation and the eXtraor-
binary need of wisdom and impartial
Judgment for the guidance of the DELHI
erations and conclusions of the party's
trusted representatives. Very truly

In theorizing on the situation, they
point out that if the Perkins men
stick to their program of seating

predict, and stampede will result
