 "The Stanley committee holds no brief for the Sherman act, and the chairman of the committee has repeatedly said that the Sherman law, of and by itself Is not sufficient to remedy existing evils.
 "The fact that the law has mt been enforced by a republican administration is, however, no good reason continued the statement. The sherman act fearless ly and eapably enforced is a sword, Tatt has struck only with the scabbard and Roosevelt never attacked anything In his life except with Il horn and a bass drum
 Mr. Stanley declares that Roosevelt dur ing his term as President never advocated that one amendment to the aCt-the liep- burn bill land asserts that this bill was written by E. H.

 Many of the ablest lawyers of Congress served upon the Stanley committee.

COL. ROOSEVELT'S CONSCIENCE CLEAR Clapp Letter Explains the
 Whole Situation BACK FROM VERMONT Leaves New York on Principal Speaking Tour Today-Will
 Reply to Wilson's Remarks
 in Pennsylvania
BACK FROM VERMONT

Oyster Bay, N. Y. September 1.-Tn his letter to Senator Clapp. made public to- night, Colonel Roosevelt believed he has complete refutation of any testimony refieetng upon him which was given be- fore the Senate committee that investi- gated campaign contributions.
 T have answered every question as fully and explicitly as is possible" he said T think I have covered the ground. Of course, l cannot go on indefinitely ex- blaming the things which are always being brought up. They are brought up 5,ooo,600 times, and after 1 have explained them 5,00o,000 times they are brought up again, Just as though I never explained them"
 To illustrate his noint, Colonel Poose- Velt said that Els opponents were aiw'is s saying that the corporations consributed to lis 1904 campaign, and that he had de- ned it. although. he said, he had merely denied that money from corporations had been accepted in return for promises of favors from the government. In the democratic text book just issued. he said was stated that the United States Steel corporation has contributed Sl0,000 to his campaign.
 q never said that no such contribution
 
 knowledge of such a contribution, but if it was made I suppose it was perpectly proper one"
 Returns from Vermont
 Colonel Roosevelt returned from Yer mont this morning. He reached New York at o'clock and came by automo- bile to Oyster Bay. He had not kept up with the political news during his ab- sence, and said he had not heard until his return of what Governor Wilson had to say about him in his speech In Penn sylvania last Thursday when he crlti- cised Colonel Roosevelt's statement that he favored a more even distribution of the prize money" The colo~el said that he took exception to Governor Wilson's remark, and would take up the matter in a speech shortly.

At this point in his letter the colonel makes his only allusion to the letters published by MT Hearst, which brought on the present investigation. He says

No Faith in Statements


 he does not believe the statements of Archbold and Penrose that Bliss said Roosecelt knew of Bliss's request for money from Standard oil. The colonel presents in this connection new bit of evidence in the form of a statement purporting to have been made by Bliss several months beforeh is death and printed in the New York Herald, a pa per hostile to Roosevelt. December "A. 1911. The statement upholds Roosevelt in his contentious in the Hartman mat ter and Bliss is quoted as saying that there never had been conducted in this country cleaner campaign than that of Roosevelt in 1904.
 After presenting a portion of Pen roses testimony before the Senate com mittee, Roosevelt says:
 Here MT. Penrose says that he a member of the national republican con- mittee and United States senator. ad- vised MT. Archbold that 1t would be a mistake for the Standard Oil company not to contribute, and if they did not make more liberal contributions they might incur hostility in certain quarters Surely no more extraordinary testimonv was ever submitted by a United States, senator It embodies a far worse acc,,- sation against him than 1 ever should have dreamed of making. Senator Pen roses language is susceptible of but one interpretations It was his belief that the government would sell its protection and would blackmail those who did not buy protection precisely as in the under world of our gerat cities vice is blackmailed or perfection of it is sold for price. Surely there can be no two opinions among honest men that the man whose actions as senator are thus described as himself as wholly unfit longer to be senator. I do not wonder that Mir. Penrose cham )pioned MT. Lorimer."

State Election in Vermont Tomorrow With Five Out
 For Governor
LEGISLATURE MAY
 DETERMINE WINNER
In Vermont Anything Less Than Majority Throws Election of State Officers Into Legisla-
 ture-All Claim Victory

Montpelier, Vt, September 1.-The first important test of political strength under the unusual conditions prevail ing this year will be made In Vermont Tuesday when the first state election will be held. National issues have been presented and the effect upon the re- publican and democratic vote of the cam paign of Colonel Roosevelt, who toured the state last week. will be watched with interest.
 State Heretofore Republican
 Vermont has been strongly repub- lican for half a century. but the size of the republican plurality. with the exception of three years, has been an accurate barometer of the political sen timent of the nation. Whenever the republican plurality has fallen below 25.ooO a democratic President has been elected in November. This year the entry of the progressive party has com plicated the situation.
 There are five candidates, Col Allen M, Fletcher. republican: Harlan B. Howe, democrat. T. V. Fraser Metzer. progressive; Clement r. Smith, prohibt- tionist, and Fred w. Suiter. socialist.
 One element of interest entering into the election is the possibility that he legislature may have to determine who will be the next governor. In Vermont anything less than a majority throws the election of state officers into the legislature.
 Leaders Confident
 Chairman L. (. Williams of the re- publican state committee tonight nre- dicted the election of Allen NJ. Fletcher saying the legislature will not have to choose a governor. D. W. Gibson, one of the progressive leaders, said.
 "The total vote will be slightly above 60.000. The democratic vote will be from ts,0OO to 10000. and the progress sive vote about 15,O00. There will be no election by the people. The legis- lature controlled by democrats and progresslves will elect q governor and 1t is safe 10 say he will not be a re- publican"
 T hope to be in a position tomorrow to make some sort of an estimate said Chairman E. $. Harris of the democratic state committee. "hnt dislike to give out ngufes nnti bsNA essue tairs 4pon which to base them"

To Make Statement

The law requires the state treasurer to make detailed statement of financial conditions early in the fall. Judge Purifoy stated that he would complete this state nent by September %, and that in it's in- troduction he would very freely discuss matters which he believes to be of the gravest importance.
 ''I served in the legislature 20 years ago. said he. ''and at that time the an nual expenses of the state amounted to no more than s1.000.0o0. Now, despite the fact that the revenue has increased mar velously, we are operating sl ,000,C60 in ex- cess of our receipts"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-02
Deficit of $1,O0O, ,0OO

T would estimate" he continued, that when the current year expires the state will have expended sl,oo0ooo in excess or its receipts
 F The state treasurer is Of thaa apfsion- that an extraordinary session of the iegis- lature is ecessary-provided the legisIa- tors proceed in a business like manner in facing the financial crisis which confronts the state.
 "The appropriation bills" stated he, which were passed during the last ses- sion should be repealed Numerous offices created in that session might, with wis dom, be abolished But there is no man. ner of reaching a conclusion as to what the legislature will do. During the last session ] appeared before the committee on appropriations and told the members that even were no additional appropria- tions made the state would be compelled to borrow money by October of that year. The committee, however, proceeded to ap- propriate, and this fact, in addition % new salaried offices created. has got Ala bama in it's present plight.
