Roosevelt tonight OF the capture Of
ohios six delegates -at-larGe to the

Colonel Roosevelt said:
THE plain people of the Republican
party of Ohio have Just held a State
wide primary, In which they repudi-
atcd Mr.. Taft by over 10000 majority.
The politicians by adroit naturalization
have succeeded in giving Mr.. Taft the
six delegates in frank and
cynical defiance of the emphatic action
o. the people themselves This is. OF
course. pure political brigandage.
This action In Ohio is merely a
fresh and conclusive proof that Mr..
Taft and his advisers care nothing
for the will OF the people. and are
eager to get the nomination without
any reference to the methods by which
IL is secured, without any reference 10
whether or not delegates represent the
people whom they are supposed to
represent 1t is a browning iliustra-
tion of Mr.. Taft's theory OF govern
ment of the people by representative

bossism. and commended the attention
