However. there is one importan,
fourth-term supporter and conven-
ton figure who will go home well
pleased. He is Frank Hague, the
notorious New Jersey boss. And his
pleasure has nothing to do with the
convention. It will be recalled that
two weeks ago at big Roosevelt
rally in his State Mr.. Hague made
a violent attack on ex-Gov. Charles
A. Edison, who before he became
Governor was in the Roosevelt cab.
met as Navy Secretary. Among the
things Mr., Hague said about Mr.
Edison was that when he resigned
as Navy Secretary he was on the
point Of being expelled.
Immediately Mr.. Edison tele.
graphed personally to Mr.. Roosevelt
pointing out that Mr.. Hague had
made some criminally libelous
charges, the falsity of which Mr.
Roosevelt well knew. He asked the
President to make q statement to
that effect. But the President did
not. He has not. so far as known
as yet acknowledged receipt Of the
telegram though he was at home
when 1t came. Apparently he does
not intend to acknowledge it. Mr.
Hague has reason to be pleased.
