washington. October 2p.--Tho democratic
congressional committee IS still busily en-
gagged In sending out personal letters TO vot.
ers in the doubtful states urging them 90
60 to the polls on election day and cast
their votes FOR the democratic candidates.
II Is believed that great deal OF interest
is being excited In this way and that as
a result the democratic vote will be heavier
than was at first expected, In view OF tho
apathy which has heretofore been so much
In evidence.
The committee continues 20 receive an.
swers TO It's requests for Individual views
on tho situation week before election.
These replies Indicate very satisfactory
condition of afairs generally aud lend
strength to the belief that the democrats
win be able to control the next house.
AS proving the democratic contention
that great dissatisfaction exists In tho
ranks of the republicans all over the coun.
try, attention Is being called today 10 nm
interview with President Wheeler OF the
University OF California. which appears In
a local republican paper which is recog
nlzed as an organ OF the administration.
II do not mind saying" Mr.. Wheeler is
quoted as stating, that the country would
go sweeplngly democratic in the congress

The Personal Question is Of Vital Conse-
quenee in Connection With the Pc.

Boston. Mass, October 2o.-In an article
written for the Youths Companion. which
win be published next week. Theodore
Roosevelt gives his ideas OF the responsi-
bliltles OF the president of the United
States. Mr. Roosevelt wrote the article IN
1900. while he was governor Of New York
and previous TO the National convention
which nominated him for vice president.
In II Mr.. Roosevelt says:
"The president Of the United States &C.
cupIcs position II peculiar Importance. In
the whole world there is no other EULER,
certainly no other ruler uuder free msti-
tutions. whose power compares with his.

factor Of the incumbent himself TO be con

This is merely another way OF Stating that

senate has no right TO dictste 70 the pres

have an entire right 10 say who shall not be
appointed for under the constitution, this
has been made their dnty.
"Although many men must share with
the president the responsibility. there ~
upon him always a heavy burden % re-
