PROFESSOR SAYS ROOSEVELT

Professor Willis was kept from the

"No influence has more serious re-

Willis wrote, than the practice Of
soliciting and obtaining large funds
from big business organizations and
capitalistic combinations. 1t is a fact
that the federal administration under
Theodore Roosevelt used the Sher-

personal disapprobation, compelling
campaign contributions and visiting
punishment upon undesirable citi-

ITO this work Mr. Taft has devoted

liberately renowned more striking
methods of reform and set himself to
the undramatic and inconspicuous
public service, which leaves out all
thought of mems own aggrandize-
ment.
He has repeatedly, for example,
urged upon Congress to place upon
the classified civil service virtually all
of the Presidential offices; a measure
which would at one blow strike out
| most of the enormous political power
of the President.
The results of this deliberate self
abnegation are shown in the great

plishments of his term.
Certain reform methods of govern
ment advocated by many of the pro,
gressives, and in part by Roosevelt,
were severely criticized by Stimson.
He denounced the recall of judges as
destined to bring the courts down
into the welter of politics" and said
that it was no test of Republican pro,
gressiveness to require his support to
systems that had been successful in
certain, states.

STIMSON PRAISES TAFT
AS A TRUE PROGRESSIVE

CHICAGO, March - Henry L.
Stimson of New York, Secretary of
War and the Roosevelt candidate for
governor of New York in 1910, tonight
declared himself for President Taft,
and said that while he remained the
sincere friend of Colonel Roosevelt,
he could not support him for the
Presidential nomination.
Stimson entered President Taft's
cabinet last year, after consultation
with Roosevelt, and with the distinct
understanding with the President that
he would be bound in no way to take
part in the political activities of the
administration. In a speech before the
Taft Club of Illinois tonight he de.
clared his belief that President Taft's
administration represented the high.
est expression of progressive Republi,
can policy.

denomination of President Taft" said
Mr.. Stimson. 81 am now and always
have been a progressive.
81 am for Ttaft because l believe
he has faithfully carried out the pro,
gressive faith of the Republican party;
that his administration stands for or.
derby, permanent progress in our ma.
tional Government, and that to refuse
him the nomination on the assertions
that have been made against him
would be a blow to that progress and
would put a premium upon hasty and
unfounded criticism,

inspiration of Theodore Roosevelt.
am firm believer in the great ma
tional policies for which he has
fought, and 1 now remain his sincere
friend. But I believe that those who
are forcing him, contrary to his origi
nal intention, into the arena against
Mr.. Taft, are jeopardizing instead Of
helping the real cause of progress il
the Nation.

that any man can have from holding
the office of President. From every
personal standpoint there is nothing
for me to gain either in running for
the office or in holding the office once
more, and there is very much to lose.
Under such circumstances, if l

obvious thing to do would be to an.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO RUN
BUT MUST IF PEOPLE SAY So

NEW YORK March 5.-To clear
up conflicting statements as to what
he had said in the past regarding the
nomination for President. Theodore
Roosevelt today made public a letter
which he wrote last January to Frank
A. Munsey, the publisher. Roose-
velts object in giving out the COM
munication, he said, was to refute the
charge that he was breaking a prom
Use in agreeing to accept the nomina-
ton If it were offered him. He called
particular attention to a passage in
the letter, which, while stating that
he would not be a candidate, he de-
clared that he would not go on rec
ord as being unwilling to accept the
nomination.
"To every man I talked to-" said
Roosevelt, 81 made in substance that
same statement, and l made it in hun
dreds of letters"
The portion of the Munsey letter to
which he called particular attention
follows:
81 am not and shall not be a candi-
date. shall not seek the nominal
ton, nor would I accept It if it came
to me as the result of an intrigue.
But l will not tie my hands by state
ment which would make it difficult
or impossible for me to serve the pub
lie by undertaking a great task if the
people as a whole seemed definitely
to come to the conclusion that l ought
to- do that task. In other words, as
far as in me lies, l am endeavoring to
look at this matter purely from the
standpoint of the public interest, of
the interest of the people as a whole
and not in the least from my own
standpoint.

ore runs $3.50 natural, and is of a
quality much in demand. r
It is announced that the lease
holders have two propositions +. to
turn over the entire tonnage. It is
stated that a large tonnage has been
disclosed by drills, and that the
property will be opened up by a
shaft at once. There is much activ-.
