Republican Club would have taken the
action which II did in adopting such reso-

convention
Mr.. Bovee went on to say IT was evident
that Mr.. Roosevelt had recognized. even

that policy had been entirely dispensed

club members came in in sufficient amount

Chicago headquarters.

temporary chairman of the convention, was
