Valkenburg Speaks
Word for Roosevelt.

Philadelphia. March Am reference
to the Roosevelt letter, E. A. Valken-
burg, editor and president of the North
American, made the following state
ment. tonight:
"Of course the letter was not made
public by me. When Col Roosevelt at
tended the Cardinal Gibbons celebra-
ton in Baltimore, last summer, The.
Associated Press sent out an inspired
statement to the effect that Col
Roosevelt had positively pledged his
support to Mr.. Taft for q re-nomina-
ton. AS d matter of routine news we
printed this dispatch. although l had
personal knowledge that Col. Roose-
velt's attitude must have been mis-
represented.
Much was made by the Taft mana
gers of the supposed Endorsement, and
even his denial was met by the re-
joinJer that his assurance had been
given privately and he vas merely de-
nying ii for public effect,
This led to my correspondence with
him, which eliminated in the letter OF
June 277. 1t will be observed that he
deries the fake story and asked that
copies of his letters he sent 10 diree-
tors of The Associated Press for the
information. His purpose was that
they should have an official denial or
record. from which they would issue
a formal withdrawal of the fake yarn.
I sent copies to Mr.. McClatchey, re-
auesting that he furnish one to Mr..
Moves. But no denial of the fake story
ever was made by The Associated
Press.
Not only from his letter.. but from
conversation with Col. Roosevelt, l knox
that his communication accurately and
sincerely sets forth his attitude at that
time. for / heard him repeatedly and en-
phatically urging friends to drop all talk
Of his possible candidacy and use every
effort to discourage such talk in then
own circles. Moreover, l heard him
speak in the same strain and with equal
emphasis to political leaders in my pres
ence-to men who could offer not merely
sentimental support, but delegates to thf
national convention.
"Col Roosevelt was not a candidate fo1
the nomination and was opposed TO al
efforts to boom him. The country wide
demand that has arisen for his nominal
ton has come in spite of him. Far from
plotting for it, he persistently dlscour-
aged all activity toward that end, ana
yielded only when the demand, rising IN
spite of his efforts to stop it, became
TOO strong to be denied
