New York, March 5.--To clear ~
conflicting statements as TO what he
had said in the past regarding the

Committee Not Justified.

Committee Not Justified.
Senator Dixon states that the ma
tional committee was not justified in
leaving the primary question to the
action of the states.
In every state and district in the
Union proper arrangements can be
made and effectively carried out" he
said, for securing a free and volun-
tary expression OF the will of the re-
publican voters. II 1t cannot be done
by a statewide primary, which would
be preferable. 1t can be arranged 0for
districts. under the supervision of
proper committees"
The letter calls attention to the
various states where arrangements
have been or are being made for pri-
marics, and adds:
with your cooperation, similar ar
rangements no doubt can be effected
In all other states where legislatures
are not now considering the enact
ment OF presidential preference pri-
mary laws. | am informed that in
several states where the presidential
preference primary Is awaiting legis-

with me in such states no doubt
would result in the enactment OF
those laws and the considerable
spread thereby. of the presidential
preference primary under direct legal
sanction by the state.
Not An Active Candidate.
Let me call your attention again
to the fact that Roosevelt has de-
clared repeatedly that he is not an
active candidate for the nomination
but will accept II 1t comes to him as
the demand of the voters of the party
His letter to Mr.. Moore of Pittsburgh

Final Score Of Wednesdays

Other Innings Bad for Visitors But
The Seventh Was Worse.

The Cony High school baseball team
obtained revenge. Wednesday after

the previous game which they lost to
them in Lewiston, by trimming them,
Is 10 G. ON the Reuel Williams Ath-
letic field.
Much talk had been made before the
game by Lewiston supporters. who al
legged that their team would again
win from Cuny, but the game had
been in progress only few minutes
before the Lewiston PLAYERS dismiss
ed these thoughts from their minds
and contented themselves with hold
ing the GonY boys down as best they
could, for the home boys were play
ing great game. both with the stick
and in fielding, while the players from
oVer-State We're playing like mere
noyices.
Coach Wandtke, who was former
Lewiston High school graduate, did
not deem it necessary to keep the
first string men in the game, and aft
er the first few innings had been
played he began to replace them by
substitutes, allowing the other men
to sit on the bench, SO that they would
not tire themselves running around
the bases, for he thought they might
be needed in the game with Gardi-
ner, Thursday afternoon, at Gardiner.
Frank Cole. the substitute catcher,
made his first appearance in this
game and although he was little
nervous, he played a fairly good game
behind the bat, and many of the
Cony fans prophesy that he will de-
velop into a good catcher. Mitchell,
the regular catcher, played star
game and made some great throws to
second base, during the few innings
in which he participated

the home team and held the oppos-
ing batsmen at his mercy, for they

and will likely make his usual good

Brooks Newbert and Burleigh Mars

MeCusker. the second baseman of
the Lewiston team, played as if he
had never seen d baseball before. and
it was very seldom that he missed
chance to make an errer, if the bail
came his way. Walsh the third base
man for Lewiston, also made some
costly errors, and he seemed to like
to talk with the crowd, srather than
to watch the game.
Cony's scores came in nearly every
inning during the game, but the It'll
