COLONEL DEFIES REP. COMMITTEE Asks People Only for Justice. He Says—Fight in New Jersey Ends. Morristown, n. j„ May 27.—The *fiore Roosevelt today defied the Re publican national committee. While thousands cheered him here he cried: The other day Mr. Taft said that the national committee would give him justice. I want the people to do me justice, and that Illustrates the dif ference between us. "I appeal to the people and not to the national committee, with the exception that It will misrepresent the people. I , appeal to the people to control them- I selves. Remember the national com mittee was elected, not by the people hut by the politicians, four years ago. Denies He Left Deficit. "Mr. Taft appeals to the national committee elected by the politicians and I appeal to the people. Now. this is your fight. I have come here to ask that you stand by your selves. We are making a tight for you to rule, for your right to rule, and it is your duty to rule.” Replying to the Taft charges that Roosevelt left a national deficit when he retired from office, the colonel said: 'ln tny administration the income ex- | needed the expenditures by somewhere ' between two and three hundred million ; dollars: so much that we had almost ' too much surplus. We had more than we needed for our own running ex penses and we used it to pay for the Panama canal digging.” following a conference with Sena tor Dixon, head of the national Roose velt bureau, the colonel let it be known he is sure of getting the nomination on the first ballot. Thepe will be. "the hottest kind of a time" in Chicago, his supporters declare, if the national com mittee tries to substitute delegate against whom the Roosevelt faction is said Io have lodged protests.

May 27.—Governor Harmon's contest for a solid Ohio delega tion to the Baltimore Democratic conven tion met with a severe setback today when Secretary of State Graves, as head of the election machinery in the state, held that the state convention could not impose the unit rule on the t wenty Wilson delegates elected from the congressional districts. “The national delegates in Ohio were elected at a primary," Graves holds, "and no state committee or convention has the power to prescribe rules for their action.
