Lilley-RooseveIt Letters.

In reply to statements that are still being made by his opponents to the effect that he has misrepresented the president, the Hon George l.. Lil- ley to-day, with the consent of the president, gave out the entire cor. respondence between himself and MT Roosevelt concerning the present campaign. The letters show that MT Lilley asked the president for an ex- pression of his confidence to use at this time. The correspondence in full follows:
 Waterbury. Conn, Oct 5, 1908. (Personal.)
 Dear MT President:
 I made a speech on the floor of the house April 11th, and the next day after called to introduce Hon Joseph L. Barbour and Colonel Skin- ner of Hartford. At that time you expressed this sentiment:
 MT Lilley, I have read and ap- prove every word of your speech" It would be great help to me in my campaign if MT Barbour could quote this, or some expression of con fidence from you in my integrity, but of course will not permit him to do so without your permission.
 Very respectfully,
 GEORGE L. LILLEY. The President, the White House.
 The White House,
 Washington, Oct ', 1908. (PersonaL)
 My Dear MT Lilley:
 I have your letter of the 9th ifi- stant. I do not remember what speech 1t is to which you refer, and hardly think I could have said approved every word of any speech. Can you send me the speech? earnestly wish you all success.
 Faithfully yours.
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Hon George L. Lilley, Waterbury, Conn.
 Waterbury, Oct 8, 1908. } Dear MT President:
 I have your kind favor of the 7th instant and am sending you under separate cover a copy of the speech referred to.
 I realized at the time that what you said was complimentary to my constituents who were with me.
 However, if 1 could use the last six words of your letter. "I earnestly wish you all success" or something to that effect. would appreciate 1t. Our state committee is getting out A pamphlet to circulate at the fac tories, taking extracts from speeches I have made, and quoting from mem bers of congress and the candidates who opposed me for the nomination, and other prominent men.
 1 realize that just q word of cnm-

mendation from you would have great weight.
 Yours very sincerely,
 GEORGE l.. LILLEY. The President, the White House.

 My Dear MT Lilley:
 have your letter of the Sth in stant, enclosing copy of your speech. Instead of saying every word of your speech" let the quotation be:
 MT Lilley, have read and hearti- ly approve of your speech. You have told number of needed truths, and II thank you for telling them. I wish you success in your career, sir, Let MT Barbuor quote me in this way, With regard, believe me,
 Sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Hon George L. Lilley, M. c.
 Waterbury, Connecticut.
 Mir Lilley then gave out the part of the letter above which his oppon- ents criticized, and then the presi- dent on October IT, made the fol- lowing additional statement:
 White House,
 Washington, Oct IT, 1908.
 The president has not interfered as regards the election of particular candidates to office, but the presi- dent at any time holds himself at liberty to state the facts as to what he said or did in connection with any mans acts as to which the president has full cognizance. When MT Lil- ley made his speech attacking and exposing certain influences which had worked in connection with secur- ing appropriations for certain navy yards and for certain types of sub marine boats, the president read the speech and expressed to MT Lilley in the presence of two of. his eQnstitu- ents his hearty approval the speech in the following lafiguaEe:
 Mir Lilley have read and Esarti- Fly approve of your speech. You have told number of needed truths and II thank you for telling them. wish you success in your career, sir"
 The president authorized MT Lil- ley or any of his constituents who were present to make public what the president had said, and he is ex- ceedingly glad that 1t was made pub lie.
 On October IS MT Lilley tele- graphed his thanks to the president and asked if he could use fac smile of the statement in a circular. On October 19 he received the following reply by wire:
