Congressman Copley was for Roose­ velt at the Republican primaries and is still earnestly supporting him for president. An article recently pub­ lished in the Chicago Inter Ocean to the effect that Copley had deserted Roosevelt and was on his knees before the Republican national committee, begging to be allowed to join with the Taft forces, immediately brought from Colonel Copley for publication the fol­ lowing statement: "I am perfectly satisfied to leave my cause to the voters of this district in November and it makes no difference to ine what man my political opponents see fit to run against me. If 1 can­ not go back to eongress retaining ray self respect, I will willingly stay at home. The voice»of the voters of my district, as well as of Illinois, was un­ mistakable at the April primaries. I would not endorse a nomination so flagrantly stolen as was that of Mr. Taft at the Republican national con­ vention if I knew that the whole force and resource of a national republican committee were to be centered in my district to defeat hie. As I said before, it makes no difference to me whom they select to oppose me. My cause is with the voters of my district and I do not fear the outcome for a moment." Adv.
