ROOSEVELT FRAUD
CHARGES DENIED
BY COMMITTEE
Statement Issued at the White
House with Approval of Na
tional Organization.
FRIVOLOUS AND FRAUDULENT
Comes in for Severe Ar
raignment for Bringing Un
founded Cases.
In a, document given out at the "White
House yesterday the responsible officers
of the Republican National Committee
reply In detail to CoL Roosevelt's charge
of theft In connection with the Chicago
convention. The document presented to
the public 136 pages In length. Is de
signed to form the basis for President
Taffs opposition In the coming cam'
palgn to Roosevelt's cry of "fraud."
In this extraordinary statement the of
ficers of the National Committee set
forth In detail the circumstances In each
contested case decided by the National
Committee and the committee on cre
dentials In the Chicago contention. This
document will be sent broadcast over the
country, ard ReDUbllcans from the At
lantic to the Pacific will be asked to read
It and decide upon the merits of the
Roosevelt contention.
Frivolous and Frndnlrnt
In the statement the acting chairman
and the secretary of the Republican Na
tional Committee and the secretary of
the committee on credentials denounce aa
"frivolous" and "fraudulent" contests
brought by Roosevelt from Southern
States. It Is charged that these contests
were "financed with money that came
from the North," and were Intended
"manifestly for the deception of the pub
lic." Thce officers of the Republican
organization charge further that forgery
was resorted to in a vain attempt to
bolster up one of the contests.
The statement Is approved by Charles
D Hllles, chairman of the National Com
mittee.
Particular attention is given in ithe
statement to the contests on which Col.
Roosevelt bases his charge that he was
robbed of delegates at Chicago. The
chapters on California, Kentucky, Texas,
and Washington will be the ones most
carefully scrutinized, and these are the
chapters most -vigorously handled by the
officers of the Republican organization.
The framers of the statement have
sought ta establish their contention sole
ly from the record, and go outside of It
only Ja one or -two Instances. - t
In another ltrtijance the Republlconc
who framed the statement leave the rec-
. ord long enough to note that "the Na
tional Cammlttee which pasted upon the
contests of 1912 was the National Com
mittee chosen lnliOS, when Roosevelt wa
the leader of the party, and when his
Influence dominated the contention of
that year.
The statement points out that contests
were brought In behalf of Raosetelt
against B8 of the regularly elected Taft
delegates.
Few LcRllImste Contest!
"There were only four States," savs the
statement Arizona. Michigan. Texas and
Washington, having in all twenty-eight
delegates-at-large where the contests
were wbrthy of the name, and In none
of the States did the contestants against
the deltgates-at-large feel that they had
sufficient grounds for the contest to Justi

-The very fact that there were 154
frivolous contests lteslf reflects upon the
genuineness and valadity of the remain
der," says the statement.
Under tha subhead, "Fraudulent Roose
velt Contests," the statement refers to
the election of delegates In Virgin's,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, In these
words-
"The alleged conventions which named
the Roosevelt contesting delegates met
from two to three months after the Re
publican organisations in those States
had called their conventions and duly
elected Taft delegates to the national
convention. That these contests were
based on no worthy motives, and were
devised for the sole purpose of deceiving
the public and making trouble for Taft,
Is apparent from the fact that the reg
ularly elected Taft delegates In every
case were seated by a practically unani
mous vote, the Roosevelt members of
the committees Joining with the Taft
members In the votes
Ninth Alabama Case.
"One of the contests which Roosevelt
has emphasized In raising his cry of theft
was the Ninth Alabama. In this case the
charge is made that the title to the seats
claimed by Roosevelt delegates was taint
ed with forgery.
The statement devotes a good deal of
space to the Fourth California contest.
which has been held up by the Roosevelt
people aa one of the most flagrant out
rages committed by the operation or
the Chicago steam roller.
The statement points out that If State
wide primary laws had been recognized
by Republican national conventions and
had been more universal the ninety votes
from New York State would hate been
cast as a unit and Roosevelt would have
lost fourteen rotes from that State and
eighteen in Massachusetts
"This contest being presented to the
National" Committee, It was compelled
cither to seat the Taft delegates, who
liad received a majority of the totes
from their district, or to abandon the
call for the convention which it had Is
sued and also the sound and salutary
practice of the party for upward of
thirty years.'
0,000 Words for Texan.
The framers of the statement devote
more than 4,000 words to the Texas con
tests, which also"" forms the basis of
Roosevelt's charges of fraud. The state
ment says.
"It was not alone a question whether
the votes should go to Taft or Roose
velt. It was also a question whether the
Republican party In tha State should be
relieved from the death grip of the ar

They charge that the Steel Corporation
