NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 17, 1916. 6. 0. P. DELEGATES ASKED OFF FENGE Progressives Believe Should Know Their Stand Boston, April 17.—A demand that the unpledged republican delegates to the national convention tell the voters their preference for the presidency is contained in an open letter addressed *to them by the Roosevelt delegates. The letter follows: Gentlemen—On Tuesday, the presidential primaries held in Massachusetts. At these pri- maries the registered voters of the state will be afforded an opportunity to select delegates to the coming na- . tional political parties. At the re- publican national convention a leader will be nominated as the republican cendidate to oppose President Wilson at the election In November. It is only at the presidential primaries that the average voter has the slight- cst opportunity even remotely to in- fluence the selection of his own party’s candidate for the presidency. *¥t was in order to give the rank and file some control over the nomination of their own candidates that the legis- lature of Massachusetts provided for these precidential primaries. Do yvou not see, gentlemen, that the very purpose of this primary law will be defeated if you refuse to per- mit the public to know the name of your first choice for the presidency? You ask to be sent to Chicago un- pledged. Well and good. You are gentlemen of standing and there is no “heed of pledging yvou any more than there is need of pledging us. All we ask of you is that you should tell the voters vour preference for the presi- dency. That is exactly what we have done. Unles: ou take the voters into vour confidence, how can they intelli- gently avail themselves of the sole opportunity which is afforded them #or influencing the councils of their own party, The N chusetts public has re- posed confidence in you gentlemen. It has delegated you to make our laws. Why not reciprocate this confidence and allow the Massachusetts public an inkling of vour intentions? For vou surely have intentions, gentlemen. We have far too much respect for your intelligence to supopse that fora moment you are deceived by the hoary imposture which paints a na- tional convention as a solemn delib- erate body. For the most part the unpledged delegates from all over the land who will attend the coming national con- vention are well meaning, well-to-do gentlemen, ready and eager to enjoy the frolic and equally ready and eager to take their opinions ready made M4rom a few adroit leaders. While the tumult of the brass bands and the shouting of the paraders distracts and amuses the rank and file of the dele- gates, a few long headed allies who for vears have directed our national conventions will meet behind tightly closed doors. “When their delibera- tions are concluded the word will * “deftly be passed around and the well meaning delegates will fall quickly into line, imbued with a profound con- viction that they have actually par- ticipated in the manifestation when, as a matter of fact, they have merely been present at the seance. Gentlemen, every one realizes that vou are leaders, not followers. Every- one realizes that each one of you to- ¥ day must inevitably have a prefer- ence for the presidency. Why not tell the public what that preference is? Should you subsequently change your minds in the light of later de- velopments, no one would or could accuse you of an intention to de- ceive. You ask the voters to trust to your good judgment. Why not give them an intimation of what that judgment is, so that they can decide whether they prefer ypur candidate to Theo- dore Roosevelt? Very truly yours, (Signed) GRAFTON D. CUSHING CHARLES SUMNER BIRD AUGUSTUS P. GARDNER ROBERT M, WASHBURN MIDNIGHT HOLD-UP 1 ON STANLEY STREET April will be “William Nugent Robbed of $61 When Near His Own Home at No, 1170 Stanley Street. William Nugent of 1170 street was the victim of a daring midnight hold-up Saturday night when but a short distance from his home. An unknown man grabbed him by the throat and after shoving bim against a tree, rifled his pockets of $61 and disappeared. Although the police have the supposed high- wayman’s name and a good descrip- tion, it is not likely that he will be apprehended as he had too good a chance to escape, Nugent left Butler's saloon at mid- night and it is said that his condition was somewhat befuddled. He said that at the time of the hold-up a couple of other men were nearby, but took no part in the robbery. Im- mediately after he had been relieved of his roll he hastened back to the galoon and gave the alarm. The 2 police hurried to the scene but found “no trace of the robber. Detective Bamforth visited the galoon yesterday morning and learned that four or five foreigners had left the saloon shortly after Nugent, after flashing his roll, walked out. Inves- tigation showed that several new men, former lumberjacks from Maine, had been sent to the Clayton brick yards during the week by a Boston employment agency and JValiric Sobel, Mat West, Alex John- Stanley People | GRANDPA DIDN'T NEED CASCARETS FOR THE BOWELS Twe hours a day sawing wood “‘lllz keep liver and bowels right, | | | | | | who take exercise in an chair must take “Cas- cavets.” You casy Enjoy life—-feel bully sick, bilious, headachy, constipated.

At the meeting of the St. ! Mary’s Sodality yesterday afternoon, the first action was taken, and a com- | mittee of five will be appointed by the president.

Work on preparing the field has been started, with the removal of some of the trees, and with little work it will take but a short time to have it in readiness. It is the plan of Father Winters to have two or three baseball diamonds on the Jot where boys may play, also one regulation diamond where the grown ups may play. There | will also be two tennis courts, a bas- ketball court, a gridiron for football in season and a running track. It is proposed to secure a capable assist- ant for teaching the boys. The mem- bers of the association will be assessed a fee when joining but thereafter the use of the grounds will be free. While the grounds will be mostly for Catho- lic people, members of other denomin- ations may partake of its benefits by will be levied by the officers of the association. Father Winters proposes to erect a building on the field which will act as a waiting room, with comforts for women. There will also be shower baths erected for the boys. The location of the field is one of the best in the city and is ideally adapted for the purpose. It is prob- able that the entrance will be on Allen street. WILL, PLANT TREES.
