Washington, d. c., Aug. 19.-Senator

tial candidate, came near being comrades
in arms with President Roosevelt in the
war with Spain. Few, il any. of his

Smith was given access to collection of

letter dated May 8. 1898, from Gov.

in response to the Senator's tender of his
services. The letter reads:
my Dear Senator: Permit me TO saw in

A young mans first vote for President
