Dear Mt. Roosevelt: Ever since

been continuously published and never
E. Fl. Hartman to contribute money
to aid in your election, and that he
thereupon raised or contributed $780,
900. to the national committee fund.
Knowing this to be untrue. ] several
times suggested to my superior officer,
G. n. Bliss, then treasure of the ma
tional committee, that tho facts in
the case be plainly stated. MIR. Bliss
always believed that the hooks aud
were private. and although always
carried on by him with the hiehest
sense Of integrity and honor. he never.
like all Of his contemporaries. would
consent to any publicity. This feeling
has been changed In the past few
years by the laws requiring full pub
(icity in elections. 1t seems therefore
to me that now. in Justice to YOU. the
facts In the case ought to be known.
'Everyonc knew and conceded that
the election Of 1904 you would carry
the state of New York by large
plurality. hut 1t was generally believed
that Mr.. Higgins would be defeated.
The Democrats centered their efforts
on the election of their candidate for
governor.
about a week before the election.
Mr.. Odell. then chairman Of the New
York state committee. came to Mr..
Bliss and told him that unless he had
$25O,0 900 from the national committed
that the state ticket would be defeat
ed. Mr.. Bliss told Chairmna Odall
that he had no money to give but
would see what could he done. He
visited Mr.. Hartman at his office and
explained to him the urgency of the
situation as told by Mr.. Odel,.
"Mr. Hartman thereupon called uI
several of his friends on the telephone
