THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

Democrats VIII Learn What He Has To Say
OF the 'Forco" Bill.
Special 90 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The Presidents
letter of acceptance will be given to the
public Tuesday morning. The intention
originally was to give 1t out for pubiica-
ton Monday morning. Nothing has ex-
cited more interest than the speculation as
to what the President might say on the
subject of the force bill. The attempt of
the Democratic press. with the. assistance
of Senator German and Senator Ransom, to
make the force bill an issue IN the cam
paign has put the country on the qui vive
Oh the subject and led to much speculation.
as to what the President is likely TO say.
The members of the Cabinet were equally
anxious to know. In common with the rest
of the people who read the Presidents last
annual message they had forgotten q little
passage In it which they found when the
President read the letter TO them. 1t was
the Keynote Of what he had 20 say on this
subject. After discussing the question of
election fraud and the gerrymander In
his message the President said:
Il believe lt would be possible to consti-
tute a commission, bipartisan In its
membership and composed of patriotic,
wise and impartial men. 10 whom O consid-
Grafton of the questions of the evils con-
nected with our election system and meth
DDS might be committed. with q good pros
pect of securing unanimity in some plan for
removing or mitigating those evils. The
constitution should permit the selection
OF the commission to be vested in the Su-
preme Court, if that me- cd would give
the best guaranty of impartlality. This
commission should be charged with the
duty of inquiring into the gu biect of cleo
tons as relating To the choice of officers of
the national government. with q view of
securing to every elector the free and I'M
molested exercise of the suffrage and as
near an approach TO an equality of value IN
each ballot cast as is attainable."
The President goes on to discuss at length
the question of the right of every citizen
to cast his vote freely and fairly. but the
suggestion for the appointment of a nom
partisan commission for the consideration
OF the question of free and fair elections
and the gerrymander is the keynote of
what the President says in his letter of
acceptance, now lying in the White House
waiting to be given to the public. The
President treats the question rather briefly,
but directly. beg ond renewing this sugges-
ton. He simply congratulates the people
of the South that they have shown q dis
position TO take hold of the election ques-
tion themselves and find q remedy for it.
