. bheRt INC men III lutSlitn were non
/ orably and lawfully chosen by the
I people. and that the effort OF the
majority TO unseat them represents
nothing but the naked truth. II is
for the convention itself TO decide
these cases. and by the convention
I mean the lawfully elected members
OF the convention.
Men fTaudulently put on the tenn
porary roll by the dishonest action
OF a ma jority of the national commit
tee must not be allowed 10 vote on
their cases. and to allow the benefic.
iaries OF the theft 70 vote on one an
others cases is OF course to allow
them TO really vote on their own
cases. by every consideration OF
real justice We are entitled 10 have
these OF whom / speak, who were
elected by the peOpld put on the roll
az once, but we do not ask this
System at Stake
Although we are deprived Of our
Just rights when those men are not
allowed 10 vote from the beginning.
We merely ask that neither OF the
contestants be allowed TO vote until

ed shall themselves decide which OF
the contested delegates are entitled

with the addition OF those fraudulent

in the convention. and do not

ed members OF the convention
The whole system Of the corrupt
alliance between crooked business
and crooked politics is al stake m
