M'K|NLEY ANSWERS D|XON'S CHALLENGE Says Recall of Conventions
 Now Is Unfair RESULT IN MISSOURI Fifth District Republicans Indorse Roosevelt-He Refuses to Discuss
 Visit of Perkins-Will See
 Anyone He Chooses

Washington March Representative Mckinley, director of President Taft's campaign for renomination, today gave his answer to Senator Dlxon's "challen.sei that the candidates of President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt be submitted 10 tan test of preferential primaries. Senator Dixon is chairman of the Roosevelt ex- .ecutive committee.
 Director Mckinley says he is in favo~ of selecting delegates 10 the national con- vention by the primary system wherever primaries are legally provided. "airly con- ducted and surrounded by the restrictions of law and points out that all but seven states have made provisions for primaries or conventions.
 T have your favor of March 6 You have not made your position clear and l am still at a loss to know whence you derive your authority, but I am willing to waive that point
 Believes in Primaries
 T am in absolute accord with the se- lection of delegates to the national con- vention by the primary system wherever primaries are or may be legally provided, idiiiS ioiuhNNtb anu bs AiiS restrictions of the law.
 You well know that all but seven states of the union have already made provision for holding primaries. in New York. for example, the state fixes the date for the primaries. This is also true in New 1er- sey, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, i, Oregon, Californa-possibly other states. You and l cannot set aside precedentss or the calls already issued.
 Move Is Unfair
 "The question of selecting representa- tives of the party belongs primarily to the several states and congressional dis tricts and if the party is to leglsate 1t should be in It's national convention. The pafty's form of government should be the creation of law and custom and not of caprice. I do not favor changes in the rules of the game while the game is in progress To propose the recall of con ventions' in the midst of campaign is contrary to the dictates of fair play"

 The work the children do in the mills is perfectly proper from the standpoint of the church, he answered
