Should President Taft be the successful
candidate in the convention. the colonel
SAYS, "such "a nomination would morally

election secured in New York State in the
old Tweed days by fraudulent voting at the

Mr.. Roosevelt declares cunulate evil
dence shows that President Taft and his
adherents are deliberately conspiring TO
steal tho victory from the people" and he
adds, such theft is quite as great crime
against the body polite AS any species or
commercial robbery-indeed, in some ways,
