Old Enemies Unite to Support
Him in Convention.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE opening

to the Republican national con-
vention.
I'VE are tired of vague state
ments and beating around the

dent. (Signed.)
GRAFTON D. CUSHING,
"CHARLES SUMNER BIRD,
"A. P. GARDNER.
ROBERT NJ. WASHBURN."
There was as much surprise over
the personnel of this ticket as there
was over the announcement that it
was a Roosevelt slate. There was a
combination of divergent political ele-
ments seen that was heralded by
Roosevelt supporters as a striking evil
dence of the coalition of Republicans
and Progressives in Massachusetts.
Others to Follow.
1t was indicated that movements
similar to this are expected in other
states There was general agreement
that Roosevelt had gained strong sup
port in this state. Three of the four
candidates on this ticket have at vari-
Gus times been candidates for governor
of Massachusetts.
Grafton d. Gushing has been a regu-
lar Republican. He has served as
speaker of the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture and as lieutenant governor He
was a candidate for the nomination
for governor. He was Taft delegate
in 1912.
Charles Sumner Bird was Progress
sive candidate for governor on a
straight Progressive ticket in 1912. He
polled $4,000 votes and won second
place for his party.
Old Enemies United.
Representative Gardner led the fight
for Taft in Massachusetts in 1912 and
fought Roosevelt with ardor. He was
a candidate for governor against Mr..
Bird in 1913.
allied with the regular Republicans. At
one time he was Mr.. Cushing's most
formidable rival for the speakership of
the MaSSa chuSettS house.
