there was real pathos in a situatioa
crtated by the majority of the ma
tional committee, many Of whom haG
already, morally at least, lost their
right to their seats, which made il
impossible for any man in the party
of presidential calibre to accept the
nomination. 1t is notorious thai
these so-called leaders had no inten-
ton of nominating Taft, but at the
last had found themselves helplessl5
at the mercy of the great political

with respect to my own situation
as a member of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, I understand that
a communication will be sent to all
members of the committee, asking
them to state their attitude In the
