he said. "These are the facts: Every
ROOSEVELT man with the exception OF
Mccormick has walked out because he
was convinced from the rules which
were proposed that there was no IN
tention of giving valid hearing.
'aThe cases that were heard before
the national committee were a farce
and this Is a worse one. The lineup
was perfectly plain, thirty-two 10

Mr.. Halbort said the break came
because the committee limited time
and excluded evidence.

credentials committee should hear all
evidence as court of original Juris-
diction and that the convention ana
not the credentials committee should
be the court of last resort"
