DIGS UP AN OLD LETTER
Warlike Ohio Statesman Stun
ned For a Time, is Slow
to Make Reply.

Cincinnati, Sent. 22-No answer to
the statement issued by President
Roosevelt last night will be made to-
day by Senator Foraker although he
may have something to say tonight or
later in the week. The senator said
today he had read what the president
had said but it was q matter which
he did not care to discuss off hand and
preferred to wait till he could look up
the letter and other data on the SUBJ
ject discussed in order that what he
might say could be final.
Roosevelt In Statement.
Oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept. 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt in a formal statement
yesterday took hand in the Hearst
Foraker controversy. He sees in the
expose by w. r. Hearst nothing that
can reflect in any way on the political
affiliations of w. H. Taft, but, on the
contrary, he finds in the record of the
nominee and his stand in regard to
Senator Foraker and those involved
with Foraker additional reason for the
election of Taft.
President Roosevelt bluntly de-
| nounces Senator Foraker as having
been an enemy to the reforms and
policies inaugurated by the admins
tration during the last seven years.
Points Out Tafts Foes.
| The president formally makes an
other appeal for the support of Taft,
and declares that his defeat would
/ slac ;Cfo
set of men-namely, to those men
who, as shown in the correspondence
published by Mr.. Hearst. were behind
Mr. Foraker, the opponent of Mr..
Taft, within his own party, and who
now are behind Governor Haskell and
his associates, the opponents of Mr.
Taft, in the opposite party
The presidents statement embodies
"a letter written by Mr.. Taft to a
friend in Ohio on July 20, 1897. in
which the present republican candi-
date for the presidency refuses to ac-
quiesce in the plan of the Ohio state
lcentral committee to endorse Mr.. Taft
for the presidency and Mr.. Foraker for
reelection to the senate in a single
resolution.
The president points out that Mr..
Taft's attitude has always been di-
rectly opposed to that charged against
Senator Foraker by Mr. Hearst re-
garding the moneyed interests. The
, president cites the Brownsville affair
as a case where the agitation was a
phase of the effort 'by the representa-
tives of certain law-defying corpora
tions to bring discredit upon the ad
ministration." 1t was, he says, in
, large part, mot genuine agitation
on behalf of colored men at ALL"

Detroit, Sept. 22.-The remarkable

nation for making statements deemed
to be unjustified was witnessed today
when William J. Bryan, in a telegram

ell of Oklahoma, treasurer of the dem

tions with the Standard Oil company.

that, as the candidate of the demo

EXPECTS FAIR TREATMENT.
The letter concludes with the state
ment that the democratic party is max
ing an "honest and honorable fight ir
defense of its principles and policies
and expects and will demand honorable
treatment from those who are in charge

incidentally the president remarke
he considered it significant that $500
900 had been found in the treasur
of the democratic party after Judg
Parker had declared throughout tn
last national campaign that the party
treasury was not receiving anythin
from the corporations. and further. be
cause it was announced at the tim

it looked queer that such large SUI

The shooting to death of Father

that the government will undertake
the punishment and deportation OF
every individual classed among the

They are to be sought out and
bounded from the country like 50
many wolves from sheep fold 1t
is remarkable how this country
has tolerated these 50 called Kings

nation on earth that would permit
such traitors gathering as has been
seen, time and again, in every city

ent government will not SEE an end
until the emigration laws are SO
restricted that no foreigner can
land on our shores until he has
shown beyond doubt that he is not
a criminal fleeing from his native

account of disloyality. Let every
person who seeks to find a home in
this country satisfy the emigration
board that lie is worthy and u
desirable subject and will become
a law abiding citizen while under
the protection of the flag OF this
country and will honor and respect
it so long as he shall remain under

1t is also to be hoped that the
government will enact suitable laws
whereby all the public officers may
have power to arrest all reasonable
persons who plot against the gov
