Pre- sident and Mrs. Goode. | will re-
pudate this attack upon them and
upon their hospitality of the city of
Portland In this connection permit
me 10 say that back in Washington
if newspaper correspondent should
concoct such an Infamous yarn as
this. all the other newspaper men
would band together and drive him
from the capital So saving, Speaker
Cannon dictated the following letter
and signed it:
Seattle, June lG, 1905.
"Mr H. W. Goode. President, Lewis
& Clark Centennial Exposition,
Portland, Ore.
"My Dear Mr.. Goode: Tpon my return
from Alaska today J find IN one of
the ST. Louis papers an article head
lined as follows: Cannon in row with
Portland fair. Retaiates on officials
Claim he declined to deliver speeches.
The dispatch referred to has reference
TO the opening of the Lewis & Clark
centennial exposition at Portland on
the first of June.
II have never answered newspaper
articles touching myself. but as this
article alleges an affront to myself on
the occasion Of the opening of the ex-
position by Mrs. Goode and by Mr..
Theodore Hardee, In simple justice
TO them ii may not be inapt for me to
say that there is no foundation what
ever for the article in question. 1t Is
made out Of whole cloth and the occur
rences therein described did not take
place.
"On the contrary, the treatment ex-
tended to me by yourself as presi-
dent of the exposition and personally,
and by Mrs. Goode and the officials OF
the exposition. was uniformly courte-
ous Every attention was given TO
the gentlemen composing the commit
tee of congress and to myself. offic-
tally and personally. that could have
been desired and | voice the senti-
ments of the whole party when ] say.
we enjoved the visit to Portland and
were gratified at the success OF the ex-
position. With best wishes. am
yours sincerely,
(Signed) u. G. CANNON,
Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives."
President and Mrs. Goode. from the
beginning, have ignored the article
published concerning the opening day.
though they knew it was false In every
particular. and though they have
had in their possession for month
Speaker Cannon's reputation OF 1t.
Their only reason for noticing 1t now
is the fact that il has been SO widely
circulated and particularly because 1t
has been published in the Pacific coast
papers. thereby creating unpleasant
impressions. They feel that they
ought not to silently consent to an
attack upon their own courtesy. the
hospitality Of the city Of Portland and
of the state Of Oregon, and the dignity
and good name of the exposition
while having In their hands the docu'
mentary evidence that disproves and
discredits the story In toto. Presi'
dent Goode said Yesterday that he
sincerely hoped that the formal and
, complete denial that had been made
would since 1t had been found neces'
sary to notice the matter at all. clcse
