tial* committee ha- completed il<
work, having in all cases round
tin- same as the national commit
tee, giving Taft a slender major
ity of the conventi«»n. While the

announces his severance «»t" re

In a signed stalement issued
by lloosevell. at 1 o'clock today.j
he says thai no the
convent ion will lie accepted by
the people as anything but frau
dulently noniinated. It is now
generally accepted, even by the
Tafl forces, that the progressives'
will place a nalioual ticket in
tin1 Held.
While the majority nf the
Roosevelt delegates will remain
iii the convention, it is conceded
that Col. Moosevelt will have a
strong enough following in tin*
campaign * to seriously .jeopar
dize Tail's chances of election.

herenls will cast Iheir votes fori
(Jov. lladlev, buf with no hope
of nominating him. If is also

nominee of the convention. no
mailer who j| may be. but will
