Oyster Bay June 4 Colonel Roosevelt denounces what he calls pure political brigandage over the capture of six Ohio delegates at large for the Republican convention by Taft supporters. He says the state-wide primary showed the will of the people with a large margin. Roosevelt cites Barnes and a legislative committee report on Albany conditions to sharpen the attack.
