The following Is the exact language
used in the paper which 1 now have
In my possession:
"The reason that Allan. Moore, Ar
mold and Willinme and others In th'
Third District desire to put Luce are
Fle5cnheimer out us district chair
man and city chairman was that they
knew that these two man were favor
able and loyal to Mr.. Martin and Mr.
Slcmp; that Allan. Moore. Arnold anG
Williams are laying plans for two years
hence to defeat Mr.. Martin and put Joe
Cruppcr in his place as national com
mitteeman. and some one els, in place
of Mr., Slemp as State chairman. They
defeated Flcgenheimcr as city chair
man by a packed convention of post
Office employees, who were coerced to
vote for c. II. Moore. although at the
time Moore was supervisor OF census
and. under the orders OF the President.
Ineligible This happened on Saturday
night. October 10. On Monday morn
ing, September 13. they likewise de.
feated Mr.. Luce as district chairman
and elected Mr. Moore in hts place.
Mr.. Luce claims that Mr.. Moores cleo
tlon as district chairman Is void. b7-
cause 1t is contrary to the party plan;
that at the time of his election as dis
trict chairman he was city chairman
of Richmond, and now Richmond city
has two votes In the district commit
tee. which Is composed of ten members,
including Mr.. Moore: that he can ere
ate n ii. In the committee and at the
samo time decide the tie by his vote
as chairman.
'Ar. Luce has contested Mr.. Moore's
election as district chairman and claims
that he Is the follower chairman OF the
district COMMITTEES.
Mr. Fles enheimer's friends claim
that MIR. Moore was ineligible to be city
chairman because at the time he was
elected he was still supervisor of cen.
sus for tho Third District; that Moore
was elected by packed convention Of
postal employees, coerced by Allan. Ar
mold and Williams.
IF this close combina ton IS not
nipped in tho bud at once they will
two years from the present time, use
their utmost endeavors to defeat Mr..
Martin and Mr.. Slemp. Moore has said
that he was opposed to Martin at Chi.
cage. but only voted Cor Mr.. Martin b.
cause he realized that Mr.. Martin had
enough delegates to be elected. Mr..
Flegenheimer has not filed any con-
test as vat. but II he is informed that
he has any hopes TO win. 1 think he
can be Induced to file contest before
