WASHINGTON, May 22.---Tt's a
crime for Mr. Taft to continue in this
contest said Senator Dixon, manag-
er Of the Roosevelt campaign, today.
"His friends should not permit him to
20 into New Jersey. Mr., Taft frankly
stated at Cleveland last Thursday that
the vote in Ohio would be decisive and
would settle the question Of nomina-
ton.
THE republican party is bigger
than the ambition of any one man,
The one wise, patriotic, thing to be
done is for Mr.. Taft and his managers
now to accept the unanimous verdict
of the republican primary states and
to withdraw from the contest.
"Our greatest interest is to secure
harmony in the ranks. We hope to
secure the unanimous support OF the
party"

COLONEL IN OPEN
TO DEFEAT ROOT

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. June 4.-After a
campaign Colonel Roosevelt dictated an
i, S00-word statement at Sycamore Hill,
in which he defes the Taft cohorts to
try to elect Elihu Root as temporary
chairman of the Chicago convention. In
coming out decislvely against Root the
ex-President abruptly recedes from the
tentative position he assumed last Sat
urday when he was urged by aggrega-
lions of Roosevelt delegates to abandon
the fight on the Senator.
Roosevelt's decision to push his war
against. Root was advised by Senator
Dixon, National Committeeman Ward of
New York, George w. Perkins, Medill
Mccormick, of Chicago, and Frank Kel-
log, the erstwhile "prospector," who
were at the Sycamore Hill conference.
They counselled that the Progressives
had no use for the stand pat Senator
and that they want an insistant issue
to be made against his having any part
in the convention.
A significant feature in Roosevelt's
statement was MS assumption III uuEI-
ing a defy at the national committee,
that the Taft managers expectations
of controlling the convention by throw
ing a majority of the contested dele
gates to Taft is going to fail. This
assurance on Roosevelt's part is taken
to indicate that he has rather positive
information from his managers that he
can get enough of the several delegates
now supposedly for Taft to insure him
supremacy in the convention.
Asked if he had decided at the out
come of the conference to go to Chicago
to take part in the contest, Roosevelt
replied:
Nothing that came up yesterday has
changed my position about my going
to Chicago. i can say that l have no
expectation of going t~here-unless they
use s%trong-arm tactics"
