Thomas, executive sec retary of the committee. Mr. Thomas has announced that l e will vote for Cox. W. T. Graham, president of the committee, now i comes out with a statement accusing Mr. Thomas of attempting to mis lead the members of the committee in a Utter stating his position. President Graham's statement fol low Sees Nothing Strange. Omaha, Oct. 27, 1920. "Editor Daily Bee: "There appeared in a recent issue of one of the Omaha papers a let ter under, the caption. "Elmer F. Thomas will vote for Cox." "There is nothing strange about this. Mr. Thomas has been a demo crat all his life, when he was not a populist. ' ' In the letter he says that lie has .'changed his mind' since early in the campaign, when he said he would not vote for Cox. He did say this repeatedly with the statement that the record of Mr. Cox was such that he did not think it wise to exalt him to such a position. i "Mr. Thomas was very positive in his convictions at that time, that the election of Mr. Cox would be ' most unfortunate. Mr. Thomas is : executive secretary of the Commit tee of 5,000. and it has been the custom of the committee, prior to , , local elections, to recommend can didates for the various offices, hav- ing in mind their attitude toward the j liquor laws and the enforcement of the same, but no recommendations have ever been made at to presi- dcntial candidates. Others Will Not Follow. "Many members of the organiza tion have been waiting for recom mendations for the coming election, and while the matter was pending Mr. Thomas rushed into print stat ing that he had changed Mi mina, and that he is for Cox. "He has a rieht to change his mind, and a right to vote for Cox, and a right to express himself, but he must have known that a letter from him. although signed by him personally, would lead many of our membershio to believe that he was fxpressing the sentiment of the of ficers ot the committee. "This certainly would be a .rea sonable inference, and the letter was altogether misleading. ' "The reference to v Cox and the icague was made. on v his own rc sponsibility and without the knowl- edge of the Committee of 5.000. - i" As president ot tne committee i wish it understood that no action has been taken, or will be taken, with reference either to Cox or the league. "Our recommendations will be confined to the judicial, county and state tickets. "Yours truly, ' "W. T. GRAHAM, "President Committee cf 5,000." Minneapolis Woman Makes G 0. P.
