The Colonel DenounCes Method Of Settling Contest

Adding 48 to His LIST Colonel Bryan
Thinks There Will Be Two Conventions.
COMMITTEE STANDS PAT.

Chicago, June "A majority of the
members of the Republican National
committee, safter a lengthy conference,
today, unofiicially decided to refrain
from any comment upon the state
ment issued, last night, by Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt in which the former
President denounced the action of the
convention in seating the two Taft
delegates from the Ninth Alabama
district.
Today's impromptu meeting of the
National committee members was held
at down town hotel and was attend
ed exclusively by those committeeman
who generally are accepted as being
favorable to President Tafts candi-
dacy for nomination.
Certain of the committeeman who
attended the meeting expressed great
indignation at the text of Col Roose-
velts statement, which they declared
was deserving of an emphatic reply.
Others, however. counseled against a
reply of any kind and urged their fell
low committee members to ignore the
statement This advice finally pre-
vailed. One member of the committee
said:
we are going to stand on our ae-
tions. regardless of the remarks OF
persons who are prejudiced and un-
fair. The work speaks fer itself and
that is all there is TO 1t. There is but
one way to handle unreasonable people
and that is to ignore Them

THE SITUATION, TODAY.

Chicago. June 9.--The National Re-
publican committee will resume, to-
morrow, its consideration of the large
number of contests for places on the
temporary roll of the Republican Ma
tional convention which is to convene
in the Coliseum. at noon, on Tuesday
ofNnext week Upon the results of its
deliberations depends to great extent
the control of the convention and,
therefore, the nominations which it
will make for the offices of President
and Vice President of the United
States; to say nothing of the lesser
matters of the organization of the
convention and the text of the plat
form. The contests in Alabama.

were decided, last week. added total

1t seemed likely. tonight. that the
Indiana delegates involving II dele

THE COLONEL WHISPERS.

oyster Bay, n. Y, June S.-The Re-
| publieans of the country were called
| on, tonight, by Col. Roosevelt to pro-
| test against the action of the national
committee in ruling upon the contest
| for seats in the national convention
from the ninth Alabama districts. The
colonel said:
I'm view of the action taken by the
national committee. yesterday. in un-
seating the two duly delegates in the
ninth Alabama district and replacing
them by men who have no more title
to sit in The Republican convention
than they have to sit in the Demo-
cratic convention, | would like to
make as serious an appeal as it in my
power to every good citizen who re-
CARDS the Republican party as an in
strument for good government.
Alabama is entitled to twenty-four
delegates in the convention. AS re-
CARDS several districts where there
lave been contests, it is my sincere
belief that the right was much on
Our side as on the side of our oppo
nents. But in these districts there
was room for honest doubt and talk
ing the matter over with Senator Dix
on We both agreed 10 advise the
Roosevelt members of the national
committee to support no contest in
any district where there was room
for reasonable doubt as To the right
of the Roosevelt delegates to be seat
ed Accordingly in all the Alabama
districts in question the Roosevelt
men in the national committee voted
with the majority and this also the
fact that, as / have already said, we
regard the claims of these districts
as being as good as those of their
opponents. But in the ninth Alabama
districts, two Roosevelt delegates had
been unquestionably neglected, The
facts are as follows:
1.-The Republican committee of this
district, composed of 30 members, met
to call the convention. Eighteen MEM
bers were favorable to my candidacy,
l. to Mr.. Taft's. The Taft men con-
ceeded that this was the regular dis
trict committee, and began by partic-
ipating in the meeting. but as soon
as it developed that the Roosevelt
men were in the majority the IL Taft
men left the meeting and called a
convention of their own, leaving Is
members a clear majority of the reg
ular committee. to call the regular
convention. No serious evidence was
presented before the national commit
tee to contravene these facts The
contest against these two regularly
elected Roosevelt delegates had liter.
ally no foundation whatever even of
the most himsy description
There was no more ground for UNI
seating these delegates than there
would be for example in unseating the
Taft delegates from Rhode Island, or
in any district in any state where
there is no contest whatever. Yester-
day. the committeeman who are sup
porting Mr.. Taft voted 10 unseat the
two men properly elected and to seat
in the national convention two men,
who, as | have said, literally have no
more right to appear as delegates in
that convention than they have to APP
pear in the Democratic national con-
yention. They represent nothing
whatever in the Republican party eX-

members of the national committee
