FREL|NGHUYSEN
IS A CANDIDATE
Leaves 1t to Voters to Decide
Whether He Goes to Repub-
lican Convention or Not.
By Special Correspondent.

0V SpeefdI correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March 15:-Sena-
tor FTelinghuysen today made the
fonowing announcement of his can
didacy for delegate-at-large to the
Republican national convention.
1 shall file my petition as one Of
the candidates for delegate-at-larg
from New Jersey. If the voters de-
eide that I can render effective serv-
Ice in the councils of the Republican
convention to select candidates for
president and vice president of the
United States, / shall endeavor, to the
best Of my ability, to represent their
wishes as expressed at the primaries.
Il have at the present time no In
div1dual choice, nor am 1 committed
to any candidate. 1 know personally
all of the candidates mentioned and
their qualifications.
THE method of selecting delegates
In New Jersey permits the party vot-
ers to signify their preference for a
particular candidate, and 1 shall con-
slider the expression of a majority of
the voters as an instruction to me,
as long as that choice remains q pos
sibility before the convention.
Il believe that the voters realize
the great Importance of the coming
election and the responsibility which
rests upon them to consider carefully
the qualifications of all candidates
and, after studious thought, to make
the best choice possible for the good
Of the party and country.
Before making this announcement
have endeavored to learn the wishes
of New Jersey Republicans and have
sought the advice of leading men in
tho party in the several counties.
Many of these have expressed the
desire that the United States senators
should submit their names at the pri-
maries. / therefore do SO, asking
the support of my Republican con-
stituents. If they feel that my pres
ence at Chicago as delegate may be
helpful in securing the nomination of
a strong ticket, and the formulation
of strong platform. If selected. /
shall employ my best energies to that
end.
1.-THE Republican party has every
reason to be hopeful of successful
outcome of the pending presidential
campaign, but we must make no
mistake.
Let this be our program: A re-
construction of our foreign policy;
adherence to our Constitution; refor-
nation of our fiscal system: strictest
economy in public expenditures; re-
duction In our excessive war taxes;
development of our merchant marine,
taking care that no ships now under
our control shall ever pass under. an
alien flag; repeal of the Lever act
and other war measures interfering
with private business; proper provi-
sion for our soldiers, veterans of all
wars; restriction of immigration, so
that all enemies of true democracy
and all other undesirables may be
excluded.
above all, let US make America
First our watchword. Upon this
| platform, with q standard bearer ex-
employing that sentiment. we can
not lose"

The possibility of the senate giving
the President modified form of

Under the terms they are still sub

Marshal Foch as the supreme allied
commander.
Steps being taken for overseas pos
sible military action against Germany
as the result of the revolution were

call a meeting OF the supreme council.
The United States Is not represented
