Mr. Duell. chairman Of the Roosevelt
committee, issued a statement in which he
appealed to the regular organization not
10 take advantage OF every technicslity OF
the law iE attacking their petitions. He
said that they had done the best they
could 10 get up valid petitions against
great disadvantages, and that there was
surely enough Roosevelt sentiment TO give
them the benefit Of a trial at the polls on
primary day Mr.. Duell said In part:
The evident policy Of the opponents Of
Colonel Roosevelt in this city 10 contest the
primary petitions filed by Republican vot-
ers in his behalf ought 10 be Indignantly
