titude of Wolgast and Rivers left the

the lightweight champion and the
challenger on Labor day much in
doubt today.

meet Rivers six or seven months hence
or whenever the champion felt he was
right" At the same time another
statement was published giving the
result of a stormy session between
managers of Wolgast and Rivers. and
asserting there would be no fight at
any time.
Tom McCarey, promoter OF the Pa
cifie Athletic club. said ne was all at

Appeals to Voters.

II is In view OF these facts and Of
what these facts foreshadow that /
wish to make my appeal to the sober
Judgment OF all men who believe that
the usefulness OF the Republican party
has not ended. Every man who
continue TO exist should at once pro-
test against those who are delib-
eratcly proceeding to wreck 1t. The
leaders speak as II they were the
regular Republicans. l don't concede
that theft is test OF regularity. The
Republican party Is not a commits
sion nor has 1t appointed as its re-
ceivers the nine repudiated commit
teemen ] have mentioned, nor their
other colleagues who have In similar
fashion been repudlated by the popu-
lar votes OF their states. Nor is the
question now at Issue one as TO the
personal preference of any Republi-
can for any particular man for presi-
dent or for the doctrines which that
man .embodies. The question Is now
pressed judgment Of the great ma
jority OF the rank and Ale OF the
Republican party Is TO be no less de-
liberately nulliaed by the very men
whose leadership has Just been re-
pudiated by this same majority
nomination obtained by the
votes OF delegates seated In utter
defiance Of justice. as these two Ala
bama delegates have just been seat
ed, would be worthless to the man
obtaining It and would be Indignantly
repudiated by the party as whole.
Apparently certain national commit
teemen and certain OF the bosses,
who from the outside Influence the
national committee, have yet to learn
that the rank and file OF the Repub-
lican party must be treated as the
masters and not the servants OF their
representatives. The Republican party
cannot continue TO exist unless its
official action Is determined by the
expression OF the sober and delib-
crate Judgment OF the majority OF the
DIrty.

WASHINGTON, June s.-The senate
will vote on the question of uuseating
Senator Lorimer of Illinois Saturday,
July 6. This date was agreed upon at
a conference late today, at which the
views of both the pro~Lorimer and anti.
