To attend the national conference OF
Roosevelt boomers, Colonel John o.
YeIser goes to chicago today and the
public is duly appraised that he is still
head and front OF the Roosevelt column
In Nebraska by this statement:
There was no surrender Of Roosevelt
forces to the men in charge of the La
Toilette organization. An such talk is
pure buncombe to try and kick up row.
The Roosevelt men will be as numerous
on that ticket as the La Toilette men.
II the La Toilette men on Monday do
not recognize our half OF the delegates
and insist on a fool plurality vote that
in effect would be a three-cornered fight,
IT would mean a real three-cornered figfR
resulting in separate delegates. There
was not a word said by Governor Aldrich
or Mr.. Harrison at our conference that
could be used as basis for today's re-
ports about any such surrender. feel
sure, however, there will be no occasion
for call Of Roosevelt meeting as L
believe the La Toilette men are not under
the dominition of Mr.. corrick of cozad." :"
