President Roosevelt has officially and
finally reiterated his refusal to accept

made Oh election night of .
He did this in Il statement formally
issued from the White House Wednes-
day evening. which came as an entire
surprise to everybody. Correspondents
who went over to the White House for
the statement, of which they had been
notified by telephone. were entirely un-
prepared for it's contents. 1t was Wit
ten out by the President without con-
sultation with any Of the party leaders.

l have not changed and shall not

In the absence Of any information
further than that afforded by the state
ment itself, theories ran riot. Every
statesman and politician at once put
on his thinking cap and began to specu-
late as to what happening or happen

as most of them put it.
To those who have enjoyed the Presi-
dents confidence in relation to the per

was as snuch of a surprise as it was to
those not favored. The surprise, how
ever, it must be borne in mind. was not

Views of Politicians.

I have assumed from the beginning that
President Roosevelt would not be a can
dictate. The statement he issued the night
of election left no room for misunder-
standing, and l have felt that his friends
were doing him an injustice in suggesting
that he would change his position on the
subject.-William ]. Bryan.
That has been his position all the while,
] suppose, but l don't care to discuss the
matter. thank you.-Senator Foraker.
1 am not at all surprised. l believed
him the first time. The Presidents word
is always good with me.-Senator Knox.
The President speaks for himself. It
is useless for me to attempt to speak
for him or interpret what he says
Speaker Cannon.
l am surprised that it came at this
time. | had not expected any statement
from the President on this subject until
much later, if at all.-Senator La Fol-
lette.
The Colorado statesman., 1907-12-14

an active candidate for this very high
position.
l appreciate keenly the great impor-
tance, dignity and responsibility of the
office to which l aspire, and it is
with real apprehension and diftidence
that / contemplate the possibility of
filling it; but | should be guilty of want
of candor if l did not acknowledge that
it appeals to me very strongly and is
in line with my tastes and desires.
The United States senatorship, how
ever, can of itself confer nothing of
honor dignity or distinction, nor will
it bring any real satisfaction or op-
portunity for usefulness, unless hon
orably and creditably obtained and
faithfully and conscientiously filled.
Unless it can be so honorably and
creditably obtained, as the expression
of the peoples confidence and of
desire, uninfluenced by base or i'm
proper motives, that | should fill the
position, / do not want it, and would
not have it. If it can be so obtained,
shall, to the best of my ability, per-
form its duties faithfully and consci-
entiously.
/ feel that the Office is, in the high
est sense the peoples gift, and in my
candidacy l shall endeavor to carry
out that belief to the fullest possible
degree. While We have no system of
direct primaries, shall want, insofar
as possible, a direct expression of pop
ular opinion on the question and by
that expression l am entirely willing
to abide. l shall, however, see to it
that it be an intelligent and direct ex-
preston, made after full information.
l believe that the issue can be so pre-
sented, at least to the voters of this

contituency in whose behalf you Ia
bored so faithfully and efficiently as
congress-at-large, respectfully re-
quest that you consent to be a candi-
date for United States senator at the
approaching election.
While 1t is not our purpose at pres
ent to enlarge upon the reasons under
lying this request, it may be said in
brief that inasmuch as for the past
nearly twenty years, the candidate for
this high Office has been selected in
variably from the northern part of the
state, it will be conceded we think, by
all fair minded voters. that it is en-
inently fitting that the southern part
be accorded the privilege of naming
the candidate this time.
Your acquaintance with men and
methods of conducting official busi-
ness gained by four years in Congress,
during which time you labored with
unremitting effort for all the citizens
of our state, regardless of party affili-
alton, our confidence in your ability
and devotion to the welfare of the en-
tire state. the high esteem in which
you are held by all your fellow-citi-
zens, are in themselves reasons suffi-
cient to influence us in the framing of
this request"
Among those who signed this re-
quest are General w. ]. Palmer, F.

N. Burgess, o. E. Hemenway, Lynn S.

When retired from the lower house
OF Congress last year did so in perfect
good faith, without any intention of re-

tions and the repeated suggestions of
friends, suggestions far more cordial

quest you make and ] have now def
nitely determined, in view of the sup
port that is assured me, to become

press thteir preference for senator di-
rectly and without complication with

the matter in that way.
1t is therefore my purpose to keep
you and the people of this community
advised from time to time, clearly and
definitely, probably over my own sig
nature, with regard to the progress
of the campaign, and shall trust that
each step in my support may be taken
in the fullest light of day. | rely in
this undertaking upon the people. To
them | shall appeal and with their help
| shall hope to succeed.
1t is a cause of congratulation that
the other two candidates who have
thus far been announced are gentle
men of high character, ability and
standing. Mr.. Bonynge has served
his district with credit and distinction,
and in way that in every way war
rants his desire for promotion. Mr..
Hamlin has been for many years one
of my personal friends and l entertain
for him only feelings of high regard.
With such opponents the state is to
be congratulated upon the prospect of
a campaign free from Objectionable

acter and importance of the Office
to be filled.

pride in the deeds and achievements
of that party and of all its great leaders.
can only promise that, if successful,
as | believe l shall be, shall try to
do my duty at all times, to and by this
great commonwealth, which it is so
nigh an honor to represent.
l cannot close without expressing
my appreciation of the fact that this
call comes from those who have known
me for sixteen years-my friends and
neighbors, among whom l have gone
in and out in daily work, and to whom
l owe everything that l have been
able to do in public service.

meeting Of the Bartcnders Inter
national League Convention, which
was held in Toledo, Ohio last week
where he represented the local I'M.
ion of this city, and reports the
most successful meetings ever held
by that body. Many new laws
were enacted which are calculated
to build up the organization and
strengthen it in all parts of the
country, and following in the foot
steps of all the other labor conven-
lions of the year, it will inaugurate
u general organizing campaign dur
ing the coming year and will leave
nothing undone to get all their
eligible craftsmen throughout the
country into the union. The ques-
ton of making two separate organ
izations of the Bartender and Cooks
and Walters was one of the most
importa mt before the convention,
but when final acSion was taken the
proposition was defeated by a de-
cisive vote and consequently it will
remain as in the past, one organ
ization.
The regular meeting of the Bar
tenders will occur at Assembly

3 O'Clock and besides regular rou-
tine business, Delegate Pauley will
make his report of the proceedings
