M'KINLEY IS THE MAN
Reasons Why His Reelection Is Imperative-Roosevelt' Compari- son of the Principles for Which the Two Parties Stand-A Few Words About Jefferson and Louisi- ana-The Gold Standard.

Oyster Bay, New York, Sept. 16.-The following is a synopsis of Theodore ROosevelt's letter of acceptance:
 Oyster Bay. N. Y, Sept. l5.-Hon. Edward Wolcott, Chairman of lhe No- tification Committee-Sir: I accept the romination of the republican party for vice-president or the United States with a deep sense of the honor con- ferred and an infinitely deeper sense of the vital importance of re-electing President Mckinley. We must con- tinue the work so well begun by the present administration and show that the American people have no intention Of permitting folly or lawlessness to mar the extraordinary prosperity at home or dshonor the flag abroad.
 "The Kansas City platform stands for reaction and disorder; for the up setting of our financial system; for d policy abroad which would imply the Gishonor of the flag and surrender our rational rights.
 INDUSTRIAL PROSPERITY.
 Thanks to the actions of President Mckinley and to the wise legiSla ton of congress on tariff and finance, the conditions of industrial life are rem dered more favorable than ever before. and the merchant, rnanufa cturer, and above all, the farmer and wage worker has prof1ted by this state of things.
 Fundamentally, the present contest is for continuance of the conditions that have told In favor of our material welfare and civil and political integ- rity. We cannot afford to plunge into financial and economic chaos. The policy of free coinage of silver is fraught with destruction to every home in the land. No Issue can be paramount to this, for the paramountcy of any is sue Is not Ito be determined by the die tum of any man. but by the fact that It vitally affects the wellbeing of every rome in the land. The one absolutely vital need of our whole industrial sys- tenn Is sound money"
 Discussing trusts. the letter con tinues: "No good is subserved by an indiscriminate denunciation of cor porations; nevertheless there are real abuses. The first thing to do is to find cut the facts. and for this purpose pub 1icity as to pitalization,. profits. etc. would be a most useful measure. Much can be done by taxation and even more by regulation, close supervision and unsparing excision of all unhealthy. destructive anti-soc.al clements.
 Discussing expansion, the letter cites the purchase of Louisiana. and says says the consent of the governed was not asked in that instance and that Jefferson sent troops to Louisiana to prevent insurrection, as Mckinley is doing now.
 LOUISIANA PURCHASE.
 The letter continues: Tn no part of the Louisiana purchase was complete self government established for years; in one part, the Indian Territory. it has not been introduced yet. Over enormous tracts. including various In- d!an reservations, aggregating a terri tory as large as the Philippines, the constitution has not yet followed the flag ard an army officer and civilian agent yet exercise authority without the consent of the governed.
 We must proceed in the Philippines with the same wise caution and the present revolt must be put down be- fore it will be possible to give the is lands a larger measure of liberty than Jefferson originally gave to Louisiana. To grant self government to Luzon un- uer Aguinaldo would be like granting self government to an Apache reSerVa-
