Roosevelt Charged With Of
fering Support to Wiscon-
sin Senator and Then
Withdrawing.

Washington D. c., March 23.-That
Col. Roosevelt's messages to Senator
LaFollette were such as to convince
the latter he would have Roosevelt's
support is the substance Of letter
by Walter L. Houser to Gibson Gardner
given out at LaFollette headquarters
today as an answer to correspondence
made public by Clifford Pinchot.
The message you say you brought
from Col. Roosevelt to Senator LaFol-
lette can be construed in on other way
than as an incident to Senator LaF'ol-
lette to become candidate. You say
he, (Roosevelt) would in the columns
of The Outlook or otherwise do what
he could to direct attention to the work
accomplished by Senator LaFollette
in Wisconsin, If he had said no more.
that would Justify what have said that
the message brought by you to LaFol-
lette from Roosevelt encouraged La
Toilette to become a candidate.
"But you said more than this. You
said that Roosevelt declared that he
could not afford to take defeat and
that wroever made the fight was GER
tain to be defeated for nomination or
for election if nominated; that this
was the democratic year; that LaFoi-
lette would not be injured by defeat;
that there should be a. candidate rep
resenting the progressive movement;
that LaFollette was the logical man
and that if he decided to make the
fight he should announce his candi-
dacy at once
'That Roosevelt encouraged LaFol
lette to become candidate you cannot
deny
Mr.. Houser renewed his charge that
the attitude of the Roosevelt forces
toward LaFollette changed as soon
as there became evident widespread
growth of the progressive movement
and the possibility Of Senator LaFol-
lette's nomination.
"Then big businessfi,'" said Mr..
Houser, represented by Hanna, Mum
sey, Perkins and others Of higher and
lesser note who have always opposed
LaFollette, entered the contest and
introduced Col. Roosevelt as cand1-
date and are still actively supporting
him. The people will Judge in the light
OF the facts whether or not Roosevelt
has kept true faith with LaFollette or
ia doing SO with the real progressives
of the country"
