HE NEVER SAID IT

legged Interview Printed in Des
Moines to the Effect that Governor

Another Fake Interview Exposed.

S,recial 10 Times-tepublican
Des Moihes. Nov. 4.-Recently the
Daily Capital printed TN alleged In
tenview with Col NJ J.. annple. author
Of the Temple ansst I'M ut, to the eff
feet that Cover NOR ,aui.s Of Massa-
chusetts had told Temple that the ut
terances of Governor Cun,mins OF Iowa
were embarrassing TO Massachusetts
republicans ara tala.s. The democratic
were using. CumnMns' speeches as
campaign documents. The interview
was Immediately wired to the east and
Governor Guild sent a telegram deny
ing the statements alleged to have
been made by Temple. In an interview.
in a morning paper Colonel Temple.
today makes flat denial of the in- :
tervew published in the Daily Capital
and says he never made the statements s
attributed to him. He not only makes
denial but expresses the greatest dis
pleasure that he should be placed IL
such false position. Considerable
interest is manifested as to what po-
stion the Capital will assume in view
Of Colonel Temples dfscredit and de-
nunciation of the attempt to intule
Governor Cumming by misrepresenting
not only Temple, but the Massachu-
sets candidate as well. Colonel Ten :
pie says:
you ar. authorized to say for me
that the alleged interview published in
the Capital, in which am quoted as
reporting private conversations with
Governor Guild. was wholly unauthol'
lied; that it contains statements not
made by me; that ! refused to be In
terviewed on my visit with Governor
Guild, and that have been greatly
annoyed by the unpleasant notoriety I
have had In consequence.
81 have been in politics a great
many years ard l think appreciate
some of the amenities If public life.
1 think 1 have too high regard for the
rights OF private conversation to be
engaged at this late period of my ca
reer in retailing any words whatever
Of a friendly governor spoken In tile
confidence Of private conversation.
Moreover, standpatter as am. and
opposed to many of the views of Gov
ernor Cunlnlins and to views Of many
of like mind in the state Of Massachu-
setts, would not, merely to injure
him or elnbarass him or any of his
friends, take advantage of anything
might hear in the course Of friendly
talk.
II do not care to 60 into detail about
1,;e{k IN No fo
not without violating now the very
rule have been charged with violati ng
already.
81 talked with great many men in
that state, and found there the same
division of sentiment that exists in
Iowa. There are tariff revisionists and
there are standpatters. The standpslt-
ters naturally do not take Kindly to
the utterances of Governor Cummins.
"But reporting THAI sact and pc
tending to quote Governor Guild as my
authority are too different things.
81 have never quoted Governor Guild
to any 81 = effect to anybody. and I
have ref 4 to be interviewed at a., all Al
the east.
Temple Humiliated.
II am humiliated to think that any
one should believe that would take
advantage of a friendly visit with so
genial and gentlemanlv man as Gov
ernor Guild to pretend to use his
words tt, embarrass the states execu-
tive. and I am Inundated to think that
anyone should believe that I have any
feeling toward Governor Cu1nmins that
would lead me to even consider such a
thing. Many OF my warmest friends in
Iowa are the closest friends and ad-
yisers OF the governor. While he Ind
frankly disagree on the tariff issue. II
| is not difference that involves any
personal hostility or any desire to hu-
| initiate each other.
Again you may say for me that the
: pretended interview was not authoF-
