WITHDRAW TROOPS
FROM NEVADA
President Roosevelt So Determined, Ac-
cording to Statement Made at
White House Yesterday.

Washington, d. C.. Jan. President
Roosevelt has determined to withdraw
the federal troops from Goldfield, Neva-
da, shortly after the legislature begins
its special session, Tuesday This in
tion was made known at the White
House yesterday, when the report Of the
special investigating commission was
made public, together with letter from
the president To Governor Sparks, dated
january 4. The president says he shall
be governed BY the recommendations in
the report, unless the governor can show
that the statements oil the report are
not in accordance with the facts. The
report says:
THE conditions did not support the
general allegations in the governors re-
quest for troops, nor were his specific
statements established to any such ex-
tent as to Justify his use Of these states
ment for the purpose Of getting federal
troops
II concludes with this recommended
tion:
.But we also most firmly believe that
upon the assembling Of tile legislature,
or within a few days thereafter, the
troops should be removed, regardless OF
any request for their retention that may
be made by either the legislature or the
governor OF Nevada, It being essential
that the state Of Nevada shall under
stand this situation completely, shall
recognize the fact that there will, at
that date, Be thrown upon it, and it
alone, the primary responsibility of
keeping order"

never been questioned or in doubt, is vii
ling to Be quoted al being strongly in
favor Of the reelection OF Fletcher d.

years from next October.
Mr. Senter said in this connection ne
hoped none would be so foolish as to
infer that he fayors Governor Proctor
smashing precedence and succeeding
himself because the governor appointed
him a member Of the double taxation
COMMISSION, in fact he would give no
small sum to be relieved Of the duties
Of that appointment, but he fayors tae
reelection Of Governor Proctor because

party that he accept nomination,
which would be equivalent to re-elec-
