CAN'T GO TEDDY
PROMINENT REPUBLICAN COMES
OUT AGAINST HIM.

Club and Declares His Purpose to
Vote for Him.
In his letter resigning from the
| Republican Club of New York Chas'
| II. Young says: II do not feel !
would be honest with myself in con-
tinuing a member of a club which
supports candidates and a ticket that
I cannot support. still
cali myself a Republican. | want
to see Taft reelected in 1912.
don't want to vote for Stimson, be-
cause it will be Roosevelt and not
Taft in 1912 if Stimson gets in.
The New York World says while
the Republican Club Of New York
was host Wednesday OF the commit.
tee which notified Henry L. Stimson
that he had been nominated as the
Republican standard bearer, it's pres
ident during 1S%07-ls0S. Charles II.
Young, a Republican of 20 years 10y
atty to his party, was voluntarily
absent and deporing a political sit
uation which compelled him to leave
his party and his club.
II have nothing personally against
Mr.. Stimson." said Mr.. Young to
The World reporter. Il have served
with him on committees in the Bar
Association. ! would not support the
ticket. no matter who might be noni-
mated.
Il am against the Republican
ticket for two reasons. The first and
most important is that l believe il
is time that the Republicans we're
turned out of office in this State.
There should be a house cleaning
and a general one.
When one contemplates the ras-
ity and corruption laid bare at AL
bany it is the duty Of every citizen
who is without personal political in
terest to vote to clean out the gang
which thrived on rascality. l be-
lieve the people OF this State want
a more economical administration OF
their affairs. They canuo. expect 1t
from the Republicans.
Secondly. | am against tire ticket
because it is Mr.. Roosevelt's ticket.
7 believe that Roosevelt should ne
stopped now. If he is not stepped
he will he reelected President in
1912. and I do not see how ~e will
ever get him out OF the Presidency.
The time has come when a man
must forget his party allegiance An"
remember his country. Roosevelt. Is
a positive menace to our Governmen.
and its sacred institutions
Mr.. Young paused and grinn+d
when he discovered his visitors eyes
on a framed photograph Of NJ.
Roosevelt as he looked when he lei;
the Governors Office.
ooh. | used to admire him. said
Mr.. Young. That is where a 10. -
us went wrong. He has turnel u';r
admiration into a great mach.ie for
his own personal advancement. Tile
only difference between ME AMI i
lot OF fellows who think as | do .
that 7 have the courage Of my con-
victions.
my one wish is that the Hearst
people will tie up with "" Roose-
welt and his ticket. wo1id like
the voters to wipe them all out at
one time.
Let all the radicals go to ,ethe'
I am opposed to any kind Of q. prim-
airy idea, yet | am going to support
the Democratic ticket. The Demo
Gratis were honest enough to wtite
an honest declaration for 4 direct
primary. while Mr.. Roosevelt dictat-
ed a pussy-footing declaration. for
primaries which will fool boU ;d%.'
Mr.. Youns's resignation, from The
Republican Club aStounded the mem
bers and they discussed little else.
