IS NAKED ISSUE OF
 RIGHT AND WRONG
tcontinued From Page one)


 defrauded out of their right to ex- press their preference as to who is to get their votes He can be nominated only by disregarding the expressed will of an overwhelming majority of two and a half million of republicans, who, to Illinois and California, have voted as to their choice for President. Under such circumstances his nomination would represent the overriding of the expressed will of the public by Messrs. Barnes, Penrose, Guggenheim, Powell, Clayton and the rest.
 "But I wish to call attention to the fact that it is Messers. Barnes, Me- Kinley and their associates, on behalf of Mr. Taft, who are engaged fin the effort to perpetrate the gravest wrong upon the republican party and upon the people of the United States, united in such action they stand, not as rep resentatives of the republican party, but as individuals misrepresenting that party with no claim to loyalty from 4 and whom 1t is the bounden duty of that party to repudiate. I wish to call the attention of the honest men who have hitherto supported MT. Taft that the issue is now one of naked right and wrong and that they cannot sup port or acquiesce in the action of those who under the circumstances given above are seeking to nominate Mir. Taft without being false to the principles of good citizenship"
