FIRST POLITICAL uTTgR4NcL
or FORMER PRESIDENT
SINCE HIS RETURN
WRITES LLOYD c. eRlscoM IA
voRINe PASSAGE or
co5R BILL.


New York. June 30.-Colmel
Roosevelt yesterday made his first ut
tersl.ce on political subject since
his return from Europe. In a tele-
gram from Cambridge. Massachu-
sets, ne. advocated the enactment,
with certain amendments, of the so
called Cobb direct nomination bill
now before the extraordinary session
Of the legislature in this state. The
telegram, addressed to Lloyd C. Girls.
com, chairman of the republican coun-
ty committee of New York county
and sponsor for the amendments In
question follows:
During the last week great
number of republican and independ-
ent voters from all over the state
have written me urging the passage
OF direct primary legislation ! have
seen Governor Hughes and have
learned your views from your repre-
sentatives. 1t seems to me that the
Cobb bill, with the amendments pro
posed by you. meets the needs of the
situation. l believe the people de
mand it. l most earnestly hope it
will be enacted into law.
Theodore Roosevelt.
The Roosevelt statement, have
seen Governor Hughes must refer
to the brief meeting at Cambridge
yesterday. Mr.. Griscom received the
telegram late yesterday afternoon and
almost Immediately made it public,
together with a statement explaining
the proposed amendments to the
Cobb bill. The bill is now before the
judiciary committee of the assembly.
Amendments are. likely to be intro
duced in the senate today.
Mr.. Griscom's statement says:
while the amendments affect the
law throughout the state in some
particulars chiefly important to New
York city. one provides that voter
in New York city changing his resi-
dence after enrolment shall lose
the right to vote at a primary cleo
ton. The alleged removal of an
elector from one place to another
within the electoral district has been
a fruitful source of fraud at primary
elections. The amendment will.
therefore. make for greater honesty
at the primary elections, and win dis
franchise comparatively small num-
Der who might otherwise be legiti-
mately entitled to vote.
THE other amendment provides
that delegates to. conventions and
presidential electors need not neces-
sarily reside in the district from
which they are elected. In the selec-
ton Of delegates to national and
state conventions particularly. it is
often found desirable to send dele
gates of party prominence from dis.
tricts other than those in which they
reside ana the amendment is intend
ed to allow a continuance of this
well established practice"
