CALLS CLAIMS FOR TAFT
Ed Perry, Of Oklahoma, Not in Sec
retary's Wagon.
SO Declares EditOr Douglas, from
Latest state 10 Join the
Union.

That Ed Perry, one Of the delegates
elected at the meeting of the Fourth dis
trict Congressional convention. is one Of
the anti-Taft leaders. instead of support
ers, as has been claimed by the Taft
boomers, is the statement made by Clar-
euce B. Douglas, editor Of the leading
Republican paper in Eastern Oklahoma.
Mr. Douglas is in Washington on busi-
ness. and declares that the reports sent
out from Colgate are misleading. Mr.
Douglas was the Republican caucus nomi-
nee for the Senate, and thinks he ought
TO know something about the situation.
He further declares that the convention
did not instruct for Secretary Taft, but
that, out of political foresig ghtedness. will
send uninsuucted delegates to Chicago.
In discussing the situation, he said.
There is an apparent effort being made
10 lead the public to believe that the Taft
sentiment is overwhelming in the new
State. and it occurs to me that the press
bureau of the Secretary is particularly
active, and at times sacrifices accuracy to
desire TO boom his candidacy.
1t is. of course, true that the Office
holding, Rough Rider element In the State
of Oklahoma favors the candidacy of Mr
Taft
There was a time not so long ago
when the Taft movement succeeded in
stampeding some Republicans, but a re-
action has set in, and in my opinion
there will be no instructions given at the
State convention, and probably not in the
district convention.
AS a matter of fact, the convention
just held in the Fourth district did not
instruct its delegates for Secretary Taft
but on the contrary, selected as one Of
the delegates Ed Perry, the most Wig
orous opponent of the Taft Rough Rider
machine in the State of Oklahoma"
