which | have publicly announced, that l
should not cndeavor 10 influence the seleC-
ton or the vote OF delegates 10 any con-
vention. | know OF no good reason for
changing this position. In the choice Of
these delegates the wishes Of the Repubi-
can voters OF the State, acting through their
representatives in the State convention,
should find free expression.
The delegates 10 the State convention
have been chosen for the express purpose
Of clecting delegates 10 the national con-
vention They ARE fresh from their con-
stituencies and know the wishes Of the
voters They are responsible 10 the voters
for their choice and in turn the delegates
at large 70 the national convention should
be directly and exclusively responsible to
the body selecting them.
Il do not think II proper to intervene in
any way, and In the assumption by the
I State convention Of the responsibility not
merely for the formal selection but for the
actual choice Of the delegates at large |
believe the interests Of the party will best
| be conserved.
Hoping that the proceedings Of the con-
vention will be conducive 10 that party
harmony which ia absolutely essential to
! success in the coming campaign, ] remain
very respectfully yours,
