President Roosevelt Makes
Known His Approval of the
Work of Last Session
THINKS CHANGE WOULD BE BAD
Hopes to Sec Present Leadership and
Organization Retained and Ratified
by the Votes Of the PeopIe-His
Position on tho Tariff is Ex-
planned.

New York. Aug. 20.-lA letter written
by President Roosevelt to Congress
man Watson, Of Bushville, Ind, review
ling and approving the work OF the
present congress and declaring: TO
change the leadership and organization
of the house at this time means to
bring confusion upon those who have
successfully engaged In steady work.
ing out of a great and comprehensive
scheme for the betterment of our So
cial and civic conditcions," was made
public today thru the republican con-
gressional campaign committee. The
president also declared that such
ton between extreme radical and ex-
treme reactlonary. The president said
also that he hopes the present congress
will enact laws prohibiting political
contributions by corporations, lower
ing duties on imports from the Philip
pines, and limiting the number OF
hours for railway employees.
OF the tariff, Roosevelt says:
eve stand unequivocally for the pro-
tective tariff, and we feel that the phe-
nomenal industrial prosperity which
we are now enjoying is not lii F,'y to be
jeopardized, for it would be to the last
degree foolish to secure here and there
a small benefit at the cost of general
business depression. But whenever a
governing rate or schedule becomes
evidently disadvantageous to the ma
ton because of changes which go on
from year to year in our conditions,
and where it is feasible to change this
rate or schedule without too much dis
location OF the system, 1t will be done;
while general revision of rates and
schedules will be undertaken whenever
It shall appear to the sober business
SENSE of our people that on the whole
the benefits to be derived from mas-
ing such changes will outweigh the
QlSaQVdnSdleS, IIldI Is, WIen IeNlSloi
will do more good than harm. Let me
add one word of caution, however. The
question Of revising the tariff stands
wholly apart from the question Of
dealing with the so-oalled trusts"
that is with control Of monopolies and
with supervision of great wealth in
business, especially In corporate form.
The only way in which it is possible
to deal with those trusts and monopo-
lies and this great wealth is by action
along the line that was enacted by the
present congress and its immediate
predecessors. The claim that the pro-
blem can be met by any changes in
the tariff represents, whether con-
sciously or unconsciously, an effort to
divert public attention from the only
method of taking effective action"

JEROME IS WILLING
Announces He Will Run for Governor
on Democratic Ticket If Given Free
Hand-sentiment for Him Growing.

New York, Aug. 20.--William Trav-
ers Jerome, independent democrat,
twice elected district attorney Of New
York county, made the following an
nouncement yesterday, Of his willing
ness to run for governor:
'In the present shameful condition
Of our political life in this state, am
willing to run for the office Of govern
or of the state if the democratic con-
vention shall nominate me without
any understanding, expressed or inn
piled, other than that, if elected, ]
shall obey my oath as I understand
it in letter and spirit.
For a number of months - indeed,
almost from the hour of Jerome's tri-
umphant election as district attorney
last November - his nomination for
governor this fall has been discussed
by all sorts and conditions Of citizens.
The arrogant attitude Of the political
bosses toward jerome last fall and
toward the Independent political SEN
timent reflected in his career, aroused
the voters of New York county to
the real condition of political servitude
they occupied.
Jerome has made a remarkable rec
ord as prosecuting officer and had
spoken his mind freely as to Charles
j.. Murphy, Tammany boss; Benjamin
B Odell Jr., republican boss, and Will
lam r. Hearst, boss Of the Independ-
,snce league He incurred their bitter
personal hostility. All three directed
their political machines not to re-
nominate Jerome. Then the people
roared their anger. Jerome was NOM
mated for district attorney by inde-
pendent citizens and beat all three
bosses and their political machines.
Sentiment thruout the state is grow
ing for Jerome. The Troy Press says:
Ellis candidacy will obliterate party
lines and result in a great popular
triumph"
The Rochester Herald echoed these
utterances by declaring:
GAS an independent candidate, free
from obligations to party bosses, Jer-
ONE would appeal with great attrac-
tiveness to republicans who, restive
under the conditions in their party,
would welcome an opportunity to vote
for a clean candidate other than a
republican, but at once recoil from
such a thing as a proposal to make
governor out of Hearst. Independent,
Jerome would appeal with no less force
to thousands of democrats who would
not vote for Hearst, no matter whom
he might hire to nominate him."
