VIII Not Answer Roosevelt.
A majority of the members oil the
Republican national committee, after d
conference yesterday unOfficially de-
cided to refrain from any comment up
on the statement issued Saturday night
by Col Roosevelt, in which the former
president denounced the action or the
committee in seating the two Taft dele
gates from the ninth Alabama district
Yesterdays imprOmptu meeting of ma

Work Speaks for Itself
we are going to stand on our ac-
lions regardless Of the remarks Of per
sons who are prejudiced and unfair.
The work speaks for itself, and that
is all there IS TO it. There is but one
way to handle unreasonable people,
and that is to ignore them
Francis ). Heneys the lawyer VINO
prosecuted the san Francisco graft
cases, and former governor George G.
Pardee, of California, arrived at the
Roosevelt headquarters yesterday.
They conferred with senator Dixon,
Of Montana, Col ROOsevelt's campaign
manager, and other Roosevelt leaders.
Roosevelt VIII Go to Chicago.
After a meeting OF a dozen OF the
Roosevelt manager II was unOftlcially
announced that Col. Roosevelt would
arrive in Chicago either by the middle
or latter part Of the week. Senator
Dixon last night issued a statement in
which he denied that the ltOOSevelt man
ayers intended to withdraw pending
contests. In this connection, the state
ment said: "Of course we do not in
tend to do any such thing. Every con-
test will be presented by US. If a ma
lority Of the national committee IS pre-
pared deliberately TO unseat Roosevelt
delegates as the Taft mana gers insist
d nil do =
the robbery is committed in the open
daylight and in the full view of 90 UO0,-
coo American citizens 1t is perfectly
apparent that the Taft managers have
under perfect control enough members
of the national committee to do exactly
as they please regarding the rest of the
contests, nearly all Of which are from
the Republican states Of the north and
west To gain temporary control of the
convention, the inner circle OF Taft
managers boldly have determined to
unseat Roosevelt delegates from Cali
fOrnia, Washington, Missouri and South
Dakota. In California and South Da-
kOta, Col Roosevelt received over
whelming majOrities in preferential
primaries. In Missouri and Washing
ton, Col Roosevelt had majOrities OF
from 500 to 400 in the state conven-
lions"
