Col. John w. McCulloch, of Ow-
-ensboro, Republican National Com
mit:eeman for Kentucky and also a |
member of the State Central Com
mittee, offered a resolution intend
ed to discipline the State, county, /
district and precinct Republican or
CARNATIONS OF the State by purging
all the committees of persons with .
Bull Moose" tendencies. His plan
is to prefer charges against all per-
sons holding official positions on
the party organization and that un-
less the Bull Moosers" under sus-
pension resign, that they be kicked
off the committees.
John p. Haswell, OF the Fourth .
district, agreed with Col McCul- /
loch, but he wanted incorporated in
the resolution a clause giving those
who vote the Bull Moose" ticket a
chance TO come back to the Repub-
lican party after Roosevelt is dead
and buried politically" Col. Nc
Culloch accepted Mr.. Haswell's view
and said that his resolution was
only intended for Bull Moosers'
and insurgents" who occupy
places on the party committees. |
Col. McCulloch said he was willing
to keep the doors open until judg-
ment day for all the erring breth-
rem" but that he was opposed to
any enemy of the Republican party
occupying official position in the
party organization.
