 You state that the steel company with my expressed consent, purchased one of it's largest rivals, and thus ob- tained control of over fifty per cent of the total output. The action of the company increased its share of the to- tai output four per cent and in no way altered the standing of the company under the law. It may have been a violation of your plan, the absurdity of which has been exposed by Hughes. There was no violation of the law; I am cognizant of the entire transaction. It was entered into by the steel corp Oration not of my own desire, but sole ly at the urgent request of the cor poration purchased, and of the banks holding that corporations securities in

lie Will Try for Statehood
 at Short Session
A Letter to the Secretary of the Republican Com mittee.

Secretary Young of the republican territorial committee yesterday came into possession of good news for the territory. if the territory chooses to avail itself of the opportunity which is offered. Mir. Young is enabled to state on authority of no less a source than the White House that the presi- dent will bend every effort for sepa- rate statehood for Arizona and New Mexico at the coming short session of congress. The reporter for The Republican knows whereof he writes for he has seen the documentary evidence, which came to hands yes terday. The information came in a personal letter to MT. Young from William Loeb, Jr., secretary to the president.
 This news will no doubt add hun dreds of votes to the strength of Ralph H. Cameron, the republican candidate for delegate to congress, whose campaign is already in excel lent shape. The republican organ ization of the territory was never in the history of the party in so good a condition as at present. Chair man Hoyal A. Smith, who has the direction of everything connected with with the campaign. and Secretary Young have cut out the work for themselves in a most systematic manner and more than that the work of other participants in the struggle has been cut out for them in an equally systematic manner. There has been a definite placing of re- sponsibility in a way that has been unheard of in Arizona politics, and those upon 'Ghom reliance is placed are made fully aware of the posi- tions they occupy.
 The members of Nhe executive com mittee realize that if anything should go wrong in their respective counties, some republican would be to blame for it, and the person to blame would naturally be the representative of the committee in that county. It is not of course expected that every county will be carried for Cameron, but it is expected that the vote for Mark Smith every where will be held down to the minimum.

 The New Mexico fair will especially interest farmers this year on account of the large number of farm imple- ments that will be exhibited.

President Roosevelt Advises Him Not to Try
 to Answer Governor Hughes
He Resents the Democratic Candidates Assertion That His Administration is One of Pretense and BIuster gaiust the Trusts.

Washington Sept. 27.-President Roosevelt late tonight replied to Bry- ans recent speech in which he main- tained that the democratic party and platform was not getting a square deal in the campaign. The presidents re- ply deals particularly with Bryan's as- sertion that the administration is nei- ther sincere nor effective in it's prose- cution of the trusts. Roosevelt com hats the charge with characteristic emphasis, and sets forth in detail what has been done under his direc- ton toward curbing the tendency of capital to cenralize with a view of destroying competition.
 In part he says: T have quoted Gov ernor Hughes in my first letter. You have not answered Hughes speech, and in my judgment you will do well not to make the attempt. You say your platform declares in favor of d vigor- Gus enforcement of the law against guilty trust magnates and officials and that the platform upon which Taft stands makes no such declaration. It is not necessary. That platform ap- proved the policies of this administra- tion and promised to continue them. Here as usual, have only to compare your words with the deeds of this ad- ministration and Taft You merely promise in your platform that you in tend to do just what this administra- ton has actually done. The president compares the acts of his administra- ton with the record of one of your most prominent supporters at this moment" Olney, attorney general un der Clevcland's last administration. He says that while Olney was in office no cases were brought under anti trust law and that the only new cases he brought were against working men. He cites

order to enable them to prevent the
 crash which would have turned the
 panic last fall into most widespread
 disaster"
 The president continued: When the
 same men who were leaders in the
 steel corporation acted in connection
 with the Northwestern Securities suit
 in a manner I regarded as contrary to
 law, by my direction a suit was i'm
 mediately undertaken against them. treat each man and each corporation
 with a view solely to whether he or it
 has rightly given occasion. I proceed
 ed against the Hartman corporations
 on certain points where I believe they violated the law. But when in connec- tion with the breaking of the Salton sea dam, one of Harriman's corpora tiOns repaired the dam. I last winter did everything to have congress reim- purse Hartman for so much of the obligation as I felt ough to come upon the United States. In exactly the same way l acted then, shall I act as regards the steel corporation.
 In reply to Bryan's request that he name a single official connected with a law defying corporation who has de- clared that he will support him the president gives an extract from a St. Louis paper of recent date in which Judge Henry s. Priest, attorney for the pfarna nf1 diary of the Standard announced that he was for Bryan and stated that Wall street believed Bryan would be elect ed. Priest is credited with originating the phrase, bribery is a conventional offense." In regard to campaign contri- buttons the president says the New York World, a Bryan supporter, in February printed a list of contributions to the 1896 democratic campaign fund containing the names of individuals and corporations owning silver mines who contributed an aggregate of S2SS,- 00O He said it is my belief that those trust magnates whose fear of being prosecuted under the law by Taft isl greater than their fear of a general business diversity under you, will sup port you and not Taft"
 In regard to the publicity of cam paign contributions and Bryan's att tack on Hughes for accepting cam paign contributions from Carnegie and others, the president points to Hughes record to show that the money did not influence him in the slightest. In regard to Haskell and Bryan's state mert that his resignation was volun tary, he says: ."Out of you own mouth are you condemned. You strive to make it appear that his misconduct in reference to the Standard Oil is all of which he is accused, whereas that shameless, although particular act is, no worse than countless others in his career. I contrast your action in this case with Taft's in reference to Fora ker." He quotes a letter to Bryan by L. T. Haskell. editor of the Morning Democrat of Ardmore, oklahoma, in relation to Haskell during the guber- material campaign. He quotes also from a letter to Roosevelt from M. L. Mott, attorney for the Creek nation who says Haskell secured deeds to quite a number of Murkogee lands by conspiracy and fraud. Mott filed suit against Haskell who has not filed an answer"
 The president mentions suits and against Haskell in different parts of the country, and the charges of perjury and fraud made against him in ohio.

 Droughts east of the Mississippi are forcing in great may cattle. but as yet few cattle have been mar 'keted in the~west on account of the pastures drying up, although another week or two of dry weather will cause the situation to become serious.

The KEACH
FURNITURE GO.
Now in New Quarters on
Main And Ready For
Business.
EVERYBODY INVITED.
Most Modern Up-To-Date
Furniture House Outside
of Louisville.

The display advertisement of The
Keach Furniture Co., in to-day's is
sue of the KENTUCKIAN cannot pos
sibly be overlooked-the company
does not allow the public to do that.
The Reaches are born advertisers
and hustlers on general principles.
That is the secret Of the phenomenal
success that has attended them since
they began business just a few years
since, on 9th street, near Main, with
not much more capital than would
be required to start transfer busi-
ness with one wagon and horse to
draw it. But they have been driv-
ing in the middle of the road with a
speed that has put them in the front
rank of the furniture business in this
city. Year by year their business
has grown until their old quarters
were altogether too small to hold
their stock. With an eye on the
road ahead of them they took a lease
on the new 3-story building and base
ment of Mr.. Garnett on Main street.
They have just moved in and ride
up and down the electric elevator
revealed the fact that the four rooms
| 22x130 feet, besides the L that rms
to Eighth street, do not afford space
for the immense stock of goods car
ried by the firm. 1t is useless to at
tempt to tell what they have in the
furniture line, carpets, mattings.
ect., etc-you must go and see for
yourself. They have the largest es-
tablishment of the kind, probably, in
the State, outside of Louisville. They
will be glad to show you through if
you will call, whether you want to
buy or not. They are justly proud
of their new quarters and want you
to make an inspection.
The company takes pleasure in an
nouncing to the public that the vet
eran furniture man of the city, Mr..
A. w. Pyle, is again over the same
ground that he occupied for 40 years,
and will gladly serve all Of his old
customers with the largest and
choicest stock of furniture ever seen
in Hopkinsville.
