ONLY FRAUD CAN
NOMINATE TAFT
This Is Statement Of ROOse
welt in Current Issue
of the Outlook.

New York, June 11.-TheodOre Roose-
welt discussed conditions in Chicago in
an article entitled a Naked Issue of
Right and Wrong" to appear in the
current issue of the Outlook Mr.
Roosevelt says in part:
The contest for the Republican nom
ination has now narrowed down TO a
naked issue Of right and wrong, for
the issue is simply whether we shall
permit a system Of naked fraud, Of
naked theft from the people to trr-
umph-
Practically the attempt is being
made by the Taft managers to use the
present national committee for the pur-
pose Of unseating honestly elected dele
gates and Of seating enough fraud
ulently elected delegates, especially
from the states where there is no real
Republican party, to secure the nOmi-
nation Of Mr.. Taft"
After reviewing the primarp results
in the various states, Col Roosevelt
continues.
Mr.. Taft cannot be nominated I'M
less he gets the overwhelming major
ity Of the rotten borough states which
never cast a Republican vote, and in
which the delegations represent only
the office-hOlders- Even If he gets
practically all the delegates from these
states. he cannot be nominated unless
by deliberate fraud.
Under such circumstances his nOmi-
nation would represent the overriding
OF the expressed will Of the people by
Messrs. Barnes, PenrOse. Guggenheim,
Powell Clayton and the rest"
