D. r. Anthony denies that there is a
row at Leavenworth over the recep-

saws:
sssSome of the papers over the state
are seemingly interested in the reports
sent out from Leavenworth by irrespOn-
sible newspaper correspondents regard
| ing the reception to be accorded Presi-
dent Roosevelt by the people of Ieaven-
worth on the occasion of his visit.
"These correspondents would make II
| appear that there is strife between the
people over who is to be in charge OF
| the exercises.
| Nothing could be farther from the
| truth. At public mass meeting called
by Mayor Ryan the people unanimously
placed him in charge. allowing him to
| name q committee of fourteen persons
| to act with him. The people did this
| because it is the expressed wish of the
] president that the mayor Of the town
! in which he visits have charge
This is highly proper, and there is nc
person in Leavenworth but who knows
] that it is, and all are showing by the
heartiness with which they are enter
! ing into the details of the work to be
done that they are satisfied with the
arrangement
There is no fuss over the coming OF
| the president other than that raised by
| the people in their endeavor to make
| the reception the best that has ever
| welcomed any guest OF the city.
| ANY report to the contrary does the
! people of the city an injustice and il
only calculated to stir up strife where
none exists"
