WASHINGTON March 29.-"No
man ever more roundly denounced
trump" conventions and contesting
delegations to Republican national
conventions than THEODORE Roosevelt
himself the managers of the Taft
bureau say in a statement issued to-
night.
In 1908, when Mr.. Roosevelt was
actively promoting the candidacy of
William H. Taft for the Presidency, a
number of such conventions were held
throughout the South in the interests
of so-called allies who were oppos
ing William Tait.
THE first of these was in Florida,
where, on February 6, 1908, the 'regu-
lar convention of Roosevelt-Taft men
was held. A trump convention held on
the same day, instructed its delegates
for Joseph B. Foraker Of Ohio. The
allies raised the cry that Roosevelt
was using the Federal olIiceholders to
promote the Taft candidacy, all of the
delegates-at-large from Florida elected
by the Roosevelt convention being
ofliceholders. This charge aroused Will
liam Dudley Foulke of Richmond Ind,
and he wrote President Roosevelt a
letter telling him of the charges that
were being made On February 8, 1908,
President Roosevelt replied to Mr..
Foulke as follows:
"'At present various efforts are be-
ing made to get up boiling delegations
from the Southern States and meet
ings at which these so-called delegates
are chosen are usually announced as
Observation-Disclosures conventions" As a
rule this means only so far as it
means anything, that they are held
under the lead of persons who wish to
be put in Office, but whose character
and capacity are such that they have
not been regarded as fit to be appoint
ed under this administration. In these
cases be it remembered that failure to
secure Office is not the result of the
political action of the men in ques.
ton; on the contrary, their political
action is due to their failure to Sc
cure Office"

Invites Party Disaster.


81 am one of the few members in
Congress who has voted for every Re-
publican President" said Representa-
tive Thistlewood of Illinois today.
I'VE are approaching another Presi-
dental election. 1t seems to me that
President Taft, by his ability and de-
votion to the duties of his office, has
earned denomination and reelection.
Failure to renominate President Taft
would, in my opinion, invite party dis
aster. I do not disparage the patriot
ism and distinguished ability of eX-
President Roosevelt, but I think it
would be very unwise to violate or ig-
more the time-honored custom of two
terms only for our Presidents. If it
was bad politics in 1880 to renominate
President Grant because of his having
served two terms as President, it GER
tainly would invite disaster now to
violate that rule"
Wilson Against the Field.
NEW YORK, March 29.-New York
politicians are giving more attention
to the national Democratic situation
now that the Republican affairs have
clarified measureably in the Eastern
section of the country. William Nc
Combs, general manager of the Wilson
campaign, returned today from a
fenceexamining tour that took in
Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Missouri and Illinois. incidentally he
gathered representatives from his
lieutenants in Wisconsin, Dakota and
other states. He expressed himself as
pleased with the situation in all fight
| ing territory
1t is significant, however, that prac-
tically all the politicians admit the
continuance of the lead Wilson had
had from the start. 1t looks as if it
would be the field against wilson
