ROOSEVELT FREE
TO Be CANDIDATE

Says Third Term Rule
Doesn't Apply
to Him
PRIVATE CITIZEN
Therefore EX-president Has
Full Right to Take Such
Nomination
PRIVATE CITIZEN

New York City.-The Outlook, of
which Col. Roosevelt is an associate
editor, today publishes an editorial
ON the question of a third term for
presidents of the United States. 1t
is supposed to meet with the ap-
prevail of Roosevelt, though there is
40 statement to that effect.
The editorial argues that all OBJ
jections in history to a third term
have been formulated against t third
consecutive term and that a man
who leaves the presidency for four
or eight years stands the same as
any other private citizen.
William Barnes, jr., chairman of
the republican state central commit
tee in q speech today says that Col.
Roosevelt has 'strayed after false
gods and that unless he returns
from them he cannot get the sup
port of the New York organization
as a presidential candidate.

New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut combined. To do so he would
only have to hold the states nov
Republican-except Maryland and
Tennessee-and carry in addition
and Massachusetts. which have new
err failed the Republican party in a
pres dental campaign, and the West
ern states of Colorado. Idaho, Mon
tana, North Dakota and Oregon, in
all OF which he is exceptionally
strong.
TAFT Would Start Handicapped.
On the other hand, in case Mr..
Taft is renominated, he will start
with an aggregate of sure electoral
votes considerably under n hum
dred, and ii will be necessary for him
to win about 1T5 electoral votes
from states that will properly be
classed in the doubtful or prob
ably Democratic column. The re-
nom nation of Mr.. Taft makes
doubtful with a strong Democratic
probability, practically all the West
ern states which now have Demo-
cratic administrations, as Well as
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska. South
Dakota, Nevada, New Mexico, Hi
nois, Indiana, West Virgin and
Wisconsin. 1t puts Mr. .Taft's own
state of Ohio very decidedly into the
doubtful column.
Thus two things are practically
certain. One is that the President
may be disastrously defeated if he
is renominated. The Other is that
Colonel Roosevelt would easily ear
~ an overwhelming majority Of the
electoral college"

PROPOSED BILL TO

BORAH MEASURE WOULD CUT
DOWN TIME FOR PROVING
Up CLAIMS TO THREE
YEARS.

Deadwood, 5. Din a letter from
Congressman Martin from Washing
ton, he declares that this session
will undoubtedly witness the pass
ing OF a measure that will prove of
much benefit TO the ho~mesteaders.
The Borah bill which has passed
the senate and is now being consid-
cred by the house, provides for re-
ducing ,he time for proving up from
five to three years and Mr.. Martin
believes that this bill will be further
amended in the house and that
either it or a similar measure Will
be passed as all the western IN
%gressmen are taking an active in
terest in it. This bill as it now
stands in the house, also permits an
entryman or his family, TO be alb
sent from the land not exceeding six
months in any calander year during
the residence period. Both these
changes. says Mr.. Martin, are neces.
sary for the homesteader, owing to
the changed conditions during the

Pierre, S. D.-The report of the
state treasurer as to state finances AT
close of business January 81. showed
cash in all funds amounting to $685.
sos. OF this the general fund car
ried $154,572: the Irvine plant fund
carried $24,944; and the permanent
school fund had $59,541; which is

for loans from that fund will soon
take out all which is now on hand
The game fund is up to $4,000, and
will be in good shape for game pro-

are finally shaped up to allow the use
of this fund for the purpose which
it was intended to be used for. The
disbursements of the department
were $4SS,102 for the month of Jan

WOMAN INNOCENT OF
MURDER OF LINCOLN
AFTE RNEARLY FIFTH YEARS
STENOGRiPHEH DECLARES
MRS. SCRRAT WAS NOT IN
PLOT.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. Almost fifty
years afte rth assassination oil
Abraham Lincoln the pen OF Ben
iamin Pitman, pioneer of stenog-
raplly, who acted as Official stenog-
rapher at the trial of the c~onspira-
tors, has revealed facts supporting
his belief that Mrs. Mary Surratt,
the woman hanged with three other
conspirators, was innocent. The
statement vas written by Pitman
Just before his death here a years
ago, and appears in the March issue
OF Il Cincinnati magazine. A part
Of Pitman's statement Isl:
That Mrs. Surratt, who was
hanged with three men conspirators
concerned in a plot to assassinate
President Lincoln and other govern
ment officials, vas entirely innocent
Of amy prior knowledge Of or par
ticipation in those crimes is, to my
mind, beyond question.
My conviction is based or the
the following facts: That as odicial
recorder OF the trial; as having heard
every word of the testimony; rs
compiler of the published volume,
l-llcOln Assassination ifldl, more
than all, as having previous to the
trial written down from the lips o.
the principal witnesses their stories
of what they knew or about which,
in their employmemnt of spies, they
lied, | have had the best opportunit!
of forming a true opinion as to the
guilt or innoncence of Mrs. Surratt.'
Mrs. Surratt was convicted OF be
ing in the plot TO assassinate Pres
ident Lincoln, General Grant and
several Cabinet officers. The mill
tary commission which tried the
conspiratols sentenced her to death
and she was hanged. According tc
The tetimony Booth, Herold and the
other plotters made Mrs. Surratt's
house their headquarters and it was
charged that she had charge of the
announcements for teir escape after
the shooting of the Pres dent and the
attack upon MIR. Seward.
y few years ago General Harris
of West Virginia, the only surviv-
Ing member OF the commission which
condemned Mrs. Surrat, made pub
lie the testimony against her and
showed that there was little reason
to doubt her guilt.
