DELEGATES DDIT TftFT FOR ROOSEVELT State Wants Colonel. Is Reason Given for Flop—Mississip pians Also Desert. CHICAGO. Jun? 17. —Five Taft dele gates from Georgia and five from Mis sissippi have issued signed statements indicating their intention to vote fol Roosevelt. Statements announcing that other Southern delegates have swung from Taft to Roosevelt are promised for today . It was intimated at Roose velt headquarters that at least three other delegates from Mississippi and a few from other states would an nounce their change of allegiance. The five Georgia delegates were Clark Grier. J. H. Boone, J. C. Styles. J. Eugene Peterson and S. S. Mincey. Those from Mississippi were Charles Banks. AV. P. Locker. Perry W. How ard, Daniel W. Gary and Wesley Cray ton. Banks is the negro delegate who deserted Taft a few days ago and re turned money advanced by the Taft manager for traveling expenses. Most of the others also are negroes. T. R. Not in Field Then. The statement signed by the five Georgia delegates was addressed to ('olonel Roosevelt and was in part as follows: "When we were elected there was but one candidate in the field and there seemed to be nothing to do but to ac cept Mr. Taft and inevitable defeat in November. At that time it seemed to make little difference whether there were instructions or no instructions, delegates or no delegates, for it seemed then a foregone conclusion that Mr. Taft was to be the Republican nominee anil a Democrat the next president. "With the announcement, of your candidacy, the party was given a new lease of life: eountrv-wide sprung the sentiment that the future contained some promise of business stability, and aggressive and righteous leadership; the man whose name was synonymous with the square deal was in the field, and the party as well as the country bucked up. “On all sides we heard from dele gates to the congressional conventions and from our constituents that the ac tions of the convention were hasty and hot representative of the sentiment of the community. Georgia “Unanimous" For Roosevelt. “From them came the suggestion that inasmuch as a second convention could not be held, a canvass should be made by each county chairman of the dele gates who attended the convention, in order to find out if they’ wished us to abide by the previous instructions: wished us to go uninstruc’ted. or wished to instruct us for another candidate. Such canvass has been made in our dis tricts and tn every case the vote was practically unanimous that we go to Chicago to do all in our power to bring about the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt. "Let us assure you also that If a preferential presidential primary were held now in Georgia, there is not the slightest doubt tliat you would carry this state In the same commanding manner that you carried Ohio. Illinois. Pennsylvania. California. Nebraska. Maine. Oregon. Maryland and New Jersey." What Grier Says. Clark Grier, on- of the Georgia dele gates. said: "I am going to vote for Colonel Roosevelt, despite the fact that Henry S. Jackson, who has been the repre sentative of Private Secretary Hilles in Georgia, has declared to Harry Still veil Edwards, of Macon, and other peo ple in Georgia that he has in his pos session an order for the removal of my wife. Mrs. Grier, as postmistress of my borne town. Dublin, and also despite the fact that we have just received no tice that the long delayed appointment of Mr. McCrea as postmaster at Mount Vernon, in Mincey s county, has been made. This is done to satisfy Mincey and get his vote for Mr. Taft. "They have been delaying this ap pointment on the ground that Collier’s Weekly has been making such expose of the use of the patronage In the South that ft would be unwise to ap point Mr. McCrea until after the na tional convention Since they have learned that the Roosevelt sentiment in Georgia can not be suppressed, how - ever, they are not so fearful about tha effect of Mi McCreas appointment. Hence they make it now at the elev enth hour For T. R. at Cost of Appointment. "I am going to vote for Roosevelt, even though Mrs. Grier nuy be deposed as postmistress, and Mincey proposes to vote for Mr. Roosevelt, even though Mr. McCrea's aimointment be with draw n.” The Mississippi letter, as given out. bore the names of Charles' Rank. W. P Locker. Percj W Howard. Daniel W. Gary and Wesley Crayton. This letter said, in part: "We. the undersigned delegates to the Republican national convention from the state of Mississippi, having after full conference and discussion among ourselves and having only in view the welfare of the Republican party and of the nation, and fully ap preciative of your known stand for a square deal tn ail men. Irrespective of race or creed, and believing that in the crisis w hich now confronts the Repub lican party you are the only man that can lead It to victory in November, have this day decided to tender you our support In th» national convention as th' nominee of th« Republican parly foi president of the United States."
