ton has been accepted. Formal an
nouncement of the resignation of Cen
eral Du Pont was made by Chairman
Hitchcock of the republican national
committee.
Chairman Hitchcock said that no
successor to Mr.. Du Pont had yet
been selected, but that action in this
matter would follow soon. No one had
been suggested for the place, Mr.
Hitchcock said, and he had no one III
mind
Mr. Du Points letter of resignation
was made public last night. 1t is as
follows:
Sept. 90, 19OS.-Frank H. Hitchcock,
chairman republican national commit
tee New York City. My dear Mr..
Hitchcock: Recently l have noticed
various criticisms of my being the di-
rector of theN speakers bureau and
member of the executive committee, on
account of my relation to the e. 1. Du
pont de Nemourss Powder company,
which is being sued by the government.
The merits of that suit will be deter
mined in the d course of judicial pro-
cetlure.- havS always been loyal
supporter Of the republican party both
in state and nation, and I am not will
ing to be in any wise the means OF
bringing criticism upon the party or
ganization, however unfounded | may
deem such criticism to be. ] therefore
respectfully tender my resignation as
member Of the executive committee
and as a director of the speakers bu-
reau, fully appreciating the great cour-
tesy which have uniformly received
at the hands Of yourself and my other
associates. Yours very truly
'T. C. DU PONT."
Explained by Hitchcock.
In an elaboration of the announce
ment, Chairman Hitchcock said:
Last Tuesday General Du Pcnt ten
dered his resignation as a member OF
the executive committee and as director
of the speakers bureau. Action on the
resignation was deferred awaiting my
arrival in New York, my purpose then
being to reach here IN the following
day. Circumstances prevented my re-
turning until this morning, when Gen
eral Dv Pont and I had a personal
conference concerning the matter in
which he insisted upon the acceptance
of his resignation, feeling that the
tendency of the suit by the government
against the powder company with
which he is connected might be en-
ployed by our opponents to the injury
Of the campaign to which he is so
earnestly devoted. His resignation.
therefore, has been accepted" s
When asked If President Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft had not objected to Mr..
Du Pont at the time of his appoint
ment, Chairman Hitchcock replied in
directly that the chairman of the ma
tional committee always made such
appointments, and in this case he (Mr.
Hitchcock) assumed all responsibility
for all other things done in this cam
paign.
