NEW YORK, FEB. 26-Colonel
Theodore Rooseyelt's letter in an,
swer to the eight governors who
wanted to know his position on the
presidential denomination created
no surprise in political circles to-
day.
Governor johnson, of California,
said it would bring many friends to
him, and Democratic National
Chairman Norman E Mack said it
was a fine thing for the Democrats.
Republican County Chairman
Kooning said that New York county
will be for Taft, and Amos Pincuot
claimed that a majority of the New
York state delegation were for
Roosevelt.
Roosevelt's letter to the eight
governors is as follows:
New York, February "a, 1912.
Gentlemen: l deeply appreciate
your letter and realize to the full
the heavy responsibility it puts upon
me. expressing as it does the care
fully considered convictions of the
men elected by popular vote to
stand as the heads Of governments
in their several states.
Il absolutely agree with you
that this matter is not one to be
decided with any reference to the
personal preferences or interests OF
any man, but purely from the stand
point of the interests of the people
as whole. l will accept the nomi
nation for president If it is rendered
to me and l will adhere to this de-
cision until the convention has ex-
pressed its preference. One OF the
chief principles for which have
stood and for which / now stand
and which Il have always endeavored
and shall always endeavor to reduce
to action, is the genuine rule OF the
people, and, therefore, 1 hope SO far
as possible the people may be given
the chance, through direct primaries,
to express their preference as to
who shall be the nominee of the Re
publican convention.
/ Very truly yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT {"

Our Inside Advice
On Home Building

cannot be bought, because we
have too many good friends in
this town among the carpenters
and architects who make their
living from this sort of knowl-
edge and experience. We will,
however, offer suggestions to pros
pective home builders as to the
kind of lumber they should use
when we know they are sincere
in giving us an order, and fire.
quently we throw in for good
measure some of that inside ex-
perience which more than offsets
the small legitimate profit we
make on the lumber. We're ex-
tremely particular about the dry
ing of the lumber we handle, be-
cause it's life and durability de-
ponds a great deal on this feature
of it's manufacture. Baked lum-
Der is brittle and subject to early
decay, while slow dried lumber
retains all of its nataralli life. You
want the best. We've got it-come
in and we'll prove it.
