National Convention of the Republican
party, to be the Republican candidate
for President for the term beginning
March 4th. 1913.
For the second time in the history
of the Republican party a part of the
delegates have refused to be bound
by the action of the convention. Now,
as on the former occasion, the ire
coneilable minority declares its inten-
tion to support either your Democratic
opponent, or a third candidate. The
reason assigned for this course is dis
satisfaction with the decision of GER
tain contests in the making up of the
Temporary Roll of the Convention.
Those contests We're decided by the tri-
bunal upon which the law that has
governed the Republican party for
more than forty years imposed the duty
OF deciding such contests.

made honestly and in good faith all
persons were bound to accept them
as conclusive in the making up of the
Temporary Roll of the Convention, and

and the Convention itself, nor other
