Democratic National Committeeman Roger Sulli van declares, in a statement which he Ih sending broadcast over the state, that he has no Idea of resigning from the committee. In part, he says: ‘Judgment as ,to my Democracy rests with the Democrats of the dis trict In which I live. My title to mem bershtp in the national committee has been conferred and confirmed by a higher authority than Mr. Bryan. "In the letters attributed to Mr. Bry an there is this plain statement: ‘Mr. Sullivan was selected as national com mitteeman by delegates who were ndt chosen by the convention.' If this stnteinent is Mr. Bryan’s, then he per sists In a contention that was declared by the last Democratic national con vcntlon to be a misrepresentation. "It is true that the seats of certain delegates were contested. But these contests were not decided by fraud, and A»r. lnyun knows It. Dos Mr. Bryan the authority of the Democratic national convention? The national convention by a vote of 647 to 299 confirmed the right of the legal Illinois delegates to their seats. Those dele gates elected me national committee man by a vote of 49 to 5. The na tional convention again confirmed that action. To allege fraud against my right to a seat In the national com mittee Is to Indict the last national convention and. Its leaders for com pounding a felony, fan even Mr. Bry an sincerely and honestly do this? He can not If he expects to accept a residential nomination two years .jencp, for such a nomination must come from those |ncn I have named and their associates. No man, not even Bryan, can afford to accept any nomination, much less a nomination for the presidency, at the hands of men whom he believes to be abettors of ‘high crimes and mlsdemea^prn’ and perpetrators of fraud."
