Commenting upon It, the Courant has the following to say,
 It is well known that Mir, Lilley has given it out publicly very often before the submarine affair that he did not want to go back 10 Washington, but did hope to be governor. His oppor- tunity came, and he had not changed hls mind. If our correspondent will make Inquiries among Intelligent men who know their Washington, il will not take him long to find that the presence of an offensive lobby on submarines has long been an offense to members of congress and others. Mir, Lilley at tackled fl Instead of keeping still and he was unable tu prove his case. If he could not get a committee place. if he could not get anything but d report so hostile that those who are using it say
 t Is shameful. what use for him to continue to bat his head against the wall? He simply held to his original ambition, and we venture the opinion that, 1T he had really started in to go back to congress, he would have been banged by the antis harder than he Is now being banged for desiring To be governor, And even these say: "Oh, hell make good governor, all right all right Hes got to-" Well It's a good governor that we want If he had giy. en up his ambition to be governor he | have been called qatter right away.

 THE ROOSEVELT LETTER.
 The bewilderment which seized up- on us when we read the testimony in the Lllley investigation at Wash ington has now again seized upon us, only in greater degree, In tracing the history of the letter written Mr. Lilley by President Roosevelt and Mir Lilley's extraordinary relation thereto. The actual letter in his possession, which appears to have been called forth by protest filed with the As sociated Press by The Journal Courier, which objected to the manner In which the alleged item was distrib- uted throughout the state, is as fol- lows
 White House, DC, Oct 10, 1903 My Dear Mir. Lilley:
 I have read and heartily approve of your speech. You have told number of needed truths md I thank you for them. I wish you success in your career.
 With regards, believe me, sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT
 Now as for the facts rs they wero presented necessarily through the in- strumentality of MT. Lilley. The Wa terbury Republican printed Tuesday morning a news item the substance of which 1t must have secured from either Mr. T.illey, or his secretary. IL was to the effect that Presilant Rooss- welt had sent to MT. Lillay for copy of speech on naval ex.ravagancies which he had made on the floor of the house last April. The article n the Republican concluded: The pres- dent closes the letter by cordially wishing Mir. Lilley success in his campaign" The Associated Press, taking it's cue from the Republican, stated that the president had sent to MT. Lilley for copy If the April speech and concluded it's dispatch, which was printed in all of the news papers of the state, with these words 'The president adds to the letter his hearty wish for Mir. Lillays success" It does not appear up to this time that anybody but Mir. LilleN or perhaps his secretary, had seen the text of the letter The obvious purpose of the publication was to assure the voters of Connecticut that President Roosevelt had endorsed MT Lilleys candidacy
 In it's issue Tuesday afternoon the Waterbury American contained this news item: George l.. Lllley of .hia city is showing his friends letter which he received recently from Presl- dent Roosevelt, requesting copy of hls now famous speech on the naval bill before congress April Il last. The letter closes with an expression from the president wishing Mir, I,illey every success. MT. Lilleys friends call 1t a fine endorsement of his candidacy for governor" In an interview with Mr. Iilley which follows the above state ment of alleged fact, he admits to th2 reporter of the American that the president requested him to send him copy of "the now famous speech on the naval bill." When asked by the reporter, if it was not strange that the president should have sent to him for copy of the now famous speech" when he could have got il from the files of the congressional rec ord Mr. Lilley replied: why, I don't know l hadn't thought of that and then proceeded to show the reporter the presidents signature and thl words; "I wish you every succoes
