Two other members OF the committee.
j, j. Sullivan OF Ohio and J. B. Avis OF
New Jersey. agreed to sign the state
ment
The statement In part follows:
In the committee on credentials, a
coalition was formed by the con-
tested delegates and members OF the
national committee and a minority OF
the representatives of the Republi
can states.
This coalition formed substantial
majority OF the committee. 1t pro-
posed to prevent the hearing OF all
the testimony by limiting the con-
testants to five minutes in which to
present their cases.
The coalition In the committee is
bringing In reports faster than they
can be prepared, making IT evident
that the reports have been prepared
beforehand and merely adopted as
a formality.
No time Is furnished to the un-
organized delegates to consider their
cases or prepare to present them to
the convention
II Is plain that il these contested
delegates are seated that they Will
not only create a majority of which
less than one-half represent Repub
lican states. but that this majority
will also be composed OF delegates
improperly seated In violation OF good
pariame ntary law and common
morals II is plain that this is not
accomplished by mere partisanship.
but il Is the result of comprehen-
sive plan prepared In advance and
deliberately carried out to control the
Republican convention against the
Republican voters.
We call serious attention of the
delegates OF this convention to the
fact that any nominee can have 1T
tie claim for the Republican voters
and will have to depend upon the
Democratic states and territories for
his election.

Not Be Tail of Kite on

BALTIMORE. J."'e 21.-No one could
be found today among the various Demo-
cratic campaign managers who was ready
to treat seriously the suggestion that any
Of the leading Democratic progressIves
would be willing to accept second place
on a possible ticket headed by Theodore
Roosevelt,
The Wilson men smiled when they read
Chicago dispatch TO the effect that the
New Jersey governor, on account Of his
progressive" tendencies, wss being con-
sidcred by the Roosevelt forces in this
connection. One OF the Wilson national
campaign managers remarked:
1.-THE governor will accept only one
nomination, and that Is the Democratic
nomination for president, lie has let IL
be known emphaticaly that he will not
be a candidate for vice president on the
Democratic ticket, therefore II is absurd
to suppose that he would accept such d
nomination under any other auspices
Walker W. Wick of New Jersey, one OF
the lieutenants In charge OF the Wilson
national headquarters. said that the VIII

Jersey today expressed dissatisfaction
with the action OF National Committee
man Robert s. Hudspeth In voting for
Kern for temporary chairman. They be-
leved that he should have favored Con
gressman Henry.
The New Jersey delegates today held
meeting. Those who professed TO un-

Asks No Sympathy.

Colonel Roosevelt says Inc needs no
sympathy. and no matter what the out
come may he. the fight, he says. has
been one worth making. and his own po-
sition cannot be changed by the out
come
There is division Of opinion among
the Roosevelt leaders as TO what part Of
his following will stand by him TO the
extent OF seVcring party ties.
Roosevclts belief as stated by his
friends. is that although a considerable
number Of his leaders VIII feel they can
not take the final step with him, ma
Jority will do so. OF the opinion OF the
mass of Roosevelt delegates he has no
knowledge. Most OF them, II was point
ed out. are men who have personal rea-
sons for remaining with the party and
will Wish TO ascertain the sentiment Of
their supporters at home before commit
ling themselves. Colonel Roosevelt's po-
sition Is that he wishes TO bring no pres
sure 10 ,bear upon any man TO follow
him. He will not ask them to make
personal sacrifices. as he can promise no
return. Colonel Roosevelt would express
no opinion as to the possibility Of CO.
aiition with any element Of the Demo
cratic party. Some Of his spp.N rtcrs,
however. were less reticent.
E. A. Perry. chairman OF the Oklahoma
delegation. said that after the convention
had adjourned his delegation would go to
Raliimcre and open negotiations.
