KREMER GEESEND
Of THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY NEAR At HAND
Democratic Leader Says Chicago
Convention Will Leave a Dis
figured Corpse.

Bntte, June 5.-Having just returned
from Washington, J. Bruce Kremer,
vice chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, spent few days at
his home here before leaving tonight
Saturday for San Francisco, where
be will remain until the Democratic ma
tional convention has been concluded,
and until, he says, the next president
of the United States has been nomi-
mated. 1t is Mr.. Kremer who will WELD
the gavel in calling the convention to-
gcther, and will preside until the per-
manent organization has been formed
Upon my return from Washington,
/ spent one night in Chicago" said, in
company with a large gathering of Re
publicans to whom l extend my sympa-
thy After carefully reviewing the Re
publican situation as presented IN Chi
cago, it is my firm conclusion that after
the exhibition which begins June and
which will continue for several days
without cessation or interruption, the
results will be so disastrous to the
party that there will not be found
man anywhere who can identify the re-
mains.
AS an illustration of the methods
being pursued TO bring about this re-
suit, one need only refer to one start
ling and notorious fact. 1t is this:
The Republicans started off by en-
deavoring to auction off the presidency
of the United States to the highest bid
der. the bidding among them being SO
jealous that the sale ended in a STAN
pede. The fact that they really had
nothing to sell did not initiate, appar
entity, against the eagerncss of the va
rious candidates to buy.
In marked contrast to the Republi-
can controversy at Chicago. the peo-
pie will point with appreciation to the
truly American convention shortly to be
held at San Francisco, where the power
Of wealth will not and can not deter
men from making a declaration Of prin
ciples that will be in complete accord
with the spirit of American ideals, and
where candidate will be nominated
who will be in the fullest sense typical
of that which is best in our govern
ment.
''The result? Victory, unquestionable
victory will perch on the Democratic
standard. / am leaving for San Fran
cisco and shall remain there until the
next president of the United States is
nominated"
