didate for president for the tern
beginning March 4th, 1918.
For the second time in the history
of the republican party part of the
delegates have refused to be bound by
the action of the convention. The
reason assigned for this course is dis
satisfaction with the decision of Ger
tain contests in the making up of thu
temporary roll of the convention.
$50 long as those decisions wer
made honestly, and il good faith, al
persons were bound to accept then
as conclusive.
"You have been nominated becaus

fixed and essential principles whicl
the republican party maintains, yo
believe in preserving the constitution
