SPEAKER GlLLETT URGED
FOR G. O. P. CONVENTION
Massachusetts, Republicans in Con-
gress Booming IIih as One of
States "Big Four"

Speaker Gillett is being doomed by
the republican members of the Massa-
chusettS delegation to be one of the
big four" delegates to the national
convention. Formal announcement
was made today by Representative
Allen T. Treadway of Massachusetts,
who said:
After consultation with the repub-
lican congressional delegation from
Massachusetts. 1 feel authorized to
call the attention of those now in
terested in the selection of delegates
at-large to the republican national
convention to the eminent fitness and
propriety of having Speaker Fred
erick H. Gillett selected as one of
the so-called big four.
'Mr. Gillett has received the in
dorsement of the republican members
of Congress by being elected to the
third highest public office in the ma
ton 1t seems no more than proper
that the republican party of his own
state show it's appreciation of the
high honor other states have con-
ferred upon him by choosing him as
one of the delegates to represent 1t
at the next convention.
delegates are naturally
not selected on the basis of their
residence, but as representatives OF
the party in the state. His long eX-
perience in public life, always identi-
fed with the interests of the repuo'
lican party; his knowledge of the

expires.
