Gov. Foss of Massachusetts, has ordered
his name withdrawn from the presidential
primary ballot. In explanation of his &C
ton, Gov. Foss says he had learned with
regret that representatives of one or more
of the avowed candidates for President
were preparing to withdraw their names
from the primary ballot out of courtesy
to him. He asks that the representatives
be urged to permit the names of their
candidates to remain, for II only one
name appeared no chance would be given
for an expression of popular preference,
which would defeat the purpose of the
preferential primary.

with the result that Mr.. Yeiser has had
to appeal to the Roosevelt men to quit
attacking either La Toilette or Taft and
to stay put for the colonel. The letter.
in part, follows:
" The agreement between Roosevelt
and La Toilette forces for union of dele
gates to the national convention and
presidential electors settles that ques-
ton. The men are all honorable and
cannot be swayed from the terms of that
agreement. regardless of the bitterness of
Mr.. La Toilette or his managers against
Mr.. Roosevelt. We, who favor Mr..
Roosevelt. regard Mr.. La Toilette as a
brilliant, strong man, and although we re-
Keep faith with his followers regardless
of what he may do.
1--WE do not want a slate COMPOUNDED
with any other name whether United
States seantor. Vice President, governor
or national committeeman.
The La Toilette organization is either
1ndiscreet or is trying to work up an
tagonisms by ringing in other fights.
1T was injudicious to place Gov. AID
rich's name on the ticket. There is no
opposition in the republican party to him.
He will get 80 per cent of the republican
votes, and this move was made to as
sumo there is fight which does not exist.
However. as there is no real opposition,
we will include this name.
1t is unimportant to add national
committeeman to this slate, as he does
not serve in that position until after all
nominations are made. This position was
not included in our agreement for that
very reason.
In conclusion let me urge upon you
for the good of the party not to indulge in
personal abuse Of either La Toilette or
Taft. but go it strong for the colonel.
Truly, JOHN o. YEISER.'"

the following statement to-day:
OF course the letter was not made pub
lie by me
when Col. Roosevelt attended the Cnr-
dnal Gibbons celebration In Baltimore
last summer the Associated Press sent
out an inspired statement to the effect
that Col. Roosevelt had positively pledged
his support to Mr.. Taft for u rcnomina-
tion. AS matter of routine news we
printed this despatch, although | had
personal knowlegde that Col. Roosevelts
attitude must have been misrepresented.
Much was made by the Taft managers
of the supposed Endorsement. and even
his denial was met by the rejoinder that
his assurance had been given privately
and he was merely denying 1t for public
effect
This led to my correspondence with him.
which eliminated in the letter of June %.
II will he observed that he denies the
fake story, and asks that copies OF his
letter he sent to two directors OF the
Associated Press, for their Information.
His purpose was that they should have an
official denial on record from which they
would issue a formal withdrawal OF the
fake yarn. sent copies to Mr.. Nc
clatchy. requesting that he furnish one
to MIR Noyes. but no denial of the fake
story ever was made by the Associated
Press.
Not only from his letter. but from con-
versations with Col, Roosevelt. | know
that his communication accurately and
sincerely set forth his attitude at that
time. FOR | heard him repeatedly and
emphatlcally urging friends to drop all
talk OF his possible candidacy and to Use
every effort to discourage such talk in
their own circles. Moreover. | heard him
speak in the same strain and with equal
emphasis To political leaders In my pres
.nce--to men who could offer not merely
sentimental support. but delegates to the
national convention
col. Roosevelt was not candidate for
the nomination. and was opposed to all
efforts To boom him. The countrywide
demand that has arisen for his nomina
tion ha. come in spite of him. Far from
plotting FOR IT, he persstently dis
couraged all activities toward that end.
and yielded only when the demand. rising
in spite of his efforts To- stop ii, became
too strong to be denied.

Many Republicans who have passed
through recent national battles have been
rather surprised at the course OF ex-
Judg Charles II. Duell in becoming the
head, front and shoulders Of the Roose-
welt city committee. Judge Duell was
asked about it at the Roosevelt head
quarters last night. He replied:
Il have the greatest respect and per-
sonal regard for President Taft, but
do not believe he can be reelected "
renominated. feel that Col. Roosevelt

movement in the Republican party.

This is the first test from the West and

for Roosevelt and 10 for Taft. The colonel
only needs eight more delegates TO carry

stated that by Saturday next. the last
day for filing designations by petition.
all Congress districts in New York county
will have the necessary 5 per cent. OF
enrolled Republicans represented on petit
