A BIT OF HISTORY RECALLED.

Although il was understood that the
Republicans of the Ninth District pro
posed to be decent enough not TO use
the New York custom house episode
I'm the campaign between Slemp and
Stuart, this incident has been made
the subject OF all kinds of insidious
charges and destinations agains;
Mr.. Stuart In the fight which is now
m progress. Stirred by this situation,
the Norfolk yirginian-Pilot recalls
an interesting bi, of history in con
nection with the announcement that
Colonel Roosevelt is slated TO take
the stump in the Ninth or behalf OF
the Republican nominee.
The Yirginian-Pilot remembers tina,
twelve years ago, when Mr.. Roosevelt
was the Republican candidate for gov
ernor Of New York. ii was discovered
that in order 10 evade payment oil
taxes on his property in that state
he had sworn two years before that
lie was a resident OF the District OF
Columbia and not of New York. This
incident is mentioned IN the auto
biography OF the late T. c. Plat, who
says that the case against the colonel
vas SO complete that he seriously
contemplated Withdrawing from the
subernatorial contest.
The virginian- Pilot concludes with
This comment:
Mr.. Stuart has been officially exon
Grated of any attempt to evade Gus
tom dues. Mr.. Roosevelt stands
charged with actual evasion of pay
ment of taxes on personal property
in New York, and that charge has
rever been denied or explained ~Tha;
the Republicans of the Southwest
should essay to make political capital
out OF the imaginary ofrense of at
Stuart. while importing. with a view
to advancing the interests OF his
opponent. a man resting under an
undenied and unexplained charge OF
sn' actual offense Of real gravity, Is
altogether In keeping with their re
cord and the record OF the Repubn
can party at large for consistenc,
and decency. The Republican leader
ship Of the Ninth district Is apparent
~ as lacking In the one as II Is void
of the other.
