IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCEPT.
Roosevelt's Message to Club Propos
ing Him for Governor.

UTICA, n. Y, July about ten days
ago the Republican Club in this city
passed a resolution putting forward the
name of former President Theodore
Roosevelt as nominee for governor IN
this state. This resolution was forward
ed Mr.. Roosevelt June 10, with state
ment as to the character and standing
of the body which passed it.
1t appears that Col Roosevelt wrote an
immediate reply, but in some manner the
letter was missent and not until day or
two ago did the secretary of the club,
FRED b. Adams of this city, receive the
colonel's letter.
The letter is a positive and unqualified
declination of the proposed honor, and is
as follows:
May /, through you, cordially thank
the Republican Club OF Oneida county
for it's message of appreciative good
will?
Believe me l appreciate it. and |
trust you will make the club understand
that l do appreciate it. But L also ask
that the club at once stop any agitation
to have me nominated for governor. 1t
would be an absolute impOssibiiity for me
to accept.
With high regards. sincerely yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

opinion by stating that no proposition

careful and complete inspection had been

question OF sewer system would be

Murdoch Dictates Statement.

The three insurgents came down off the

with the fact that they were focal CEN
ter of news and rather chary of the sit

faces were wreathed with smiles Here
is what we have to say, with the permits
sion of the colonel. This statement will
stand for all of and there is not a
word to add to it,"
Mr.. Murdoch then dictated the following
statement:
"All three of us were anxious to see
Mr.. Roosevelt because we don't believe
he had three stancher supporters of his
policies throughout his term of service
and We believe he knows this better than
any one else.
"Bristow was his right-hand man in
uncovering and Furnishing the postal
frauds. and Madison and l were among
the thirty-five who stood up for him
when the fight was made to deprive him
of the use Of the secret service men in
uncOvering just such misdeeds as the
postal frauds.
Found Him Absolutely Unchanged
Naturally We feel much pleased to
find him absolutely unchanged" (Mr
Murdocks voice rose a little uncon-
sciously in emphasis as he pronounced
the last two WordS) absolutely I'M
changed. he repeated, in his attitude
toward public questions: and also to find
how close he has kept in touch with
what has happened in the last year and
a quarter.
Nothing more pleased us than his at
once congratulating us and those asso-
ciated with us in having succeeded in
putting into the railroad rate bill the
provisions vitality necessary i'm order that
II should represent progress along the
lines of proper control of interstate COM

The locomotive bell began to clang al
most as Mr.. Murdoch finished his last
words, and the three insurgents, .all

| playfully put 1t, hurried for seats on
their train. At first they would not
abate from their original determin a ton

approximately 10000 others.
The settlement is regarded as a dis
tinct victory for the employees. Con-
cessions were made by both sides, how
