Roosevelt to Hartman

The Hartman letters are recalled by
the testimony of Wharton Barker that a
'money king" said to be Hartman,
told him in 1904 deal had been made
between the money interests and Roose-
welt Following is an extract from Pres
ident Roosevelt to the late E. H. Harri-
man:
Personal, Oct. I, 1904.
INV Dear Mr.. Hartman: A suggestion
has come TO me in a roundabout way
/ that you do not think it wise to come on
to see me in these closing weeks of the
campaign, but that you are reluctant to
refuse, inaSmuch as | have asked you.
Now, nv dear sir, you and are practical
men and you are on the ground and
know the conditions better than do.
IF YOU think there is any danger of
your visit to me causing trouble, or if you
think there is nothing special should be
| informed about, or any matter in which |
could give aid, why, of course, give up
the visit for the time being. and then, a
few weeks hence, before write my mes
sage. shall get you TO come down to dis
cuSs certain Government matters not con-
nected with the campaign"
| Mr.. Hartman went 10 Washington as
directed and what happened is told by
! Mr.. Hartman himself in the famous
! Sidney Webster letter, written some
| months later. as follows:
About a week before the election in
the autumn of 1904, when it looked GER
tain that the State ticket would go Demo-
/ cratic, and was doubtful as to Roosevelt
/ himself he (ihe Presidency sent me re-
4 quest to go to Washington to confer upon
/ the political conditions in New York
! State. | complied and he told me he
! understood the campaign could not be
successfully carried on without sufficient
money, and asked if would help them in
raising the necessary funds.
81 came back to New York and sent
! for Treasurer Bliss, who told me ! was
their last hope and that they had ex-
hausted everv other resource. In his
presence called up an animate friend OF
Senator Depew, told HIM that it was
necessary, IN order to carry New York
State. that 5000, 900 should be raised at
once, and that if he would help | would
subscribe $4,000. The gentleman said
he would let me know, which he did
probably in three or four hours, with the
result that the whole amount, including
my subscription, had been raised.
"This amount enabled the New York
State Committee to continue ITS work.
with the result that at least $4,000 votes
were turned in the city OF New YORK
alone, making difference OF oo,ooc
votes in the general result. New YORK

Predicts Victory in 1912.

After travelling throughout nineteen
States and talking to the people. Champ.
Clark. Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. in an interview here declared
that with the tariff as an issue and can
didate upon whom the party can unite
the Democrats will sweep the country in
1912. He declared for sharp enforce
ment Of the Sherman law and its amend
ment only in the interest of clarity.
Mr. Clark said:
''If the Democrats nominate man for
whom all Democrats can vote. there is
no reason why any member of the party
should slough of do not look for the
entrance into the field of new political
party, composed of Democrats and To-
surgent Republicans.
''Mv general impression is that the Re-
publcans are more split up than they
have ever been before in the history Of
the party, and the Democrats are more
! thoroughly united than they have been
since 1892 The chances seem to favor
Democratic victory in 1912 The only
danger to the Democratic party is over
confidence.
Il happened to be in several of the
States through which President Taft has
just travelled do not think that his
trip has changed the political situation
one way or the other. The elections last
month are very significant The chief
feature Of them is that wherever the tariff
was the main issue or any thing near It,
the Democrats won, which goes to show
that the people endorse our position on
the tariff question.
Nothing can change if. There will
be other issues, but the American mind
is rugged up on such plan that it makes
no difference to them how many issues
are started in the platform the people
will settle down 10 ure or two.
II am against repeating the Sherman
Law. but favor amsndiug it so as to
make it perfectly cle.r il it is not so
now, and then enforcing il vigorously.
THE coming session will be = long,
busy and exceedingly important one.
The Democrats will pass more tariff bills,
including wool and cotton. We will gel
as near TO the revenue basis as possible
Whether the President will sign them OF
not cannot tell - PHILADELPHIA Ledger
