Option taken on right of way from

gates to the Republican National con
vention who were elected on a plat
form which declared for Taft or La

for Taft or La Toilette.
He construes the reading ' of the
Presidential Dreferenee prliflary law
to man that a distinct majority oH
the party for Presidential candidate
must express their favorable vote for
that candidate, or it in not Incumbent
upon delegates to go Into the conven
tion to support such a candidate.
Mlaorlty Repreaeated, He Ftsmre.
He further bolsters his views along
this line by the provision In the Presi
dential preference primary law jyhich
requires that each voter may only vote
for one delegat to the National con
vention. "This Is apparently a pure and simple
effort to eecure Troportlonal represent
tation." stated the Attorney-General.
"In the light of this fact the construc
tion aa to oath to be taken by the dele
gates means that the minority of the
party must be represented. Therefore,
in my opinion, those who received from
the party a sufficient number- of votes
to name them as delegates, and whs
were representatives on the ticket of
either Tafwor La Follette are, in the
proportional representation theory. In
duty bound to vote for those candidates
whom, they declared to the people on
the ballot that they woulJ represent In
the National convention.'.' .-- .

Attorney-General and abide ,by his de
cision. Each declared he would abide by the
people's choice. "I will vote for Roose.
velt until such time as I see that he
eannot be elected," said Dr. Smith.
"Then I will go with the man who has
the biggest -vote in the convention.
When the question' of Statement No. 1
came up and the question of a Repub
lican voting for a Democrat came along
with It. 1 could not ee my way clear
to vote for a Democrat. . But I will
Stand for the choice of the Republican
