Roosevelt Candidacy Threats Stir Indiana Delegation
Serece organisation notes that Lemuel Roosevelt has disposed of his candidacy. A question arose if he can be defeated for the nomination, to which he replied yes. Delegation threats stated that if Roosevelt refuses the vice presidency he will not be nominated for governor and will retire to private life. Fairbanks heads Indiana delegation and will not accept vice presidential nomination, scattering votes to several candidates if he declines. Roosevelt notes friendly delegations may not vote for him but will respect wishes. Oregon, Kansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota delegations sent similar messages to avert a stampede. Illinois delegates await a clearer sentiment as Tlingisans postpone their meeting until all delegates arrive.
