Claims Right to Judge.

I hold that the convention In IL
self is Of right the only Judge Of the
qualifications Of its own members.
From Washington, California, Ari-
zons, Texas. Kentucky. Indiana. Ala
bama and certain other states, the
people elected certain delegates who
arc legally and morally entitled to sit
In the convention. The discreditcd
politicians making up the majority
of the ns siional committee with the
determination TO nuilify the will OF
the people, have substituted FOR these
men certain others who have not the
slightest claim 10 seats in the CON
vention.
II have carefully examined the
facts in these cases myself and I say
TO you that there is no element OF
doubt that the mon in question were
people and that the effort OF the ma
1ority 10 unseat them represents
nothing but naked theft.
il is for tho convention Itself to de-
eide these cases: and by the conven-
ton l mean the lawfully elected Inenl-
bers of the convention. The men
fraudulently put on the temporary roll
ny the dishonest action OF the ma
1ortty of the national committee must

OF theft to vote on one another's
cases is, OF course. TO allow them
really to vote on their own cases.
BY every consideration OF real Jus
tice We are entitled TO have these OF

But We do not ask this Although We
are deprived OF our Just rights when

that neither set OF contestants be al
lowed to vote on any question before

Not Illegal, but Wrong.

Among the national comnllttcemsn an
who have taken part In this con-
spiracy there are a number OF men
who in the ordinary relations Of life

Pronably these men excuse them
selves to themselves for what they
are now doing on the ground that
they are not committing what the law
recognizes as a crime. 1t may we'll
be doubted whether on the whole our
country does not suffer more from
the nisdeeds OF men who recognize
as binding on their consciences only
the obligations Of 'aW-honcsty-
than IL suffers from the misdeeds OF
actual criminals.
