Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Oyster Bay, N. Y.-Having failed to
obtain a hearing before the Senate
committee investigating campaign con.
tributions because of the Inability OF
the committee to get together, Colonel
Roosevelt plans to write the commit.
tee a letter embodying some Of the
things which he would have testified
He also declared in a statement in
which he also took the committee 70
task for permitting John d. Archbold
to sail for Europe without telling more
about the $4,000 he contributed to the
Republican campaign in Pennsylvania
IN 1904.
Col. Roosevelt had received no di
rect word from Senator Clapp when
the correspondents visited him al
Sycamore Hill. He had heard, he said
indirectly. of the committees inability
to have him appear before it. He was
greatly chagrined, he said. Also, he
added, the senate need not bother
about comforting additional powers on
the committee IL they wanted to find
out about his primary campaign, his
relations with Geo. w. Perkins and
William Finn, the Pittsburg leader,
or any other matters connected with
his primary campaign, or, for that
matter, anything that he had ever
done as president.
Details Of his primary campaign,
however. would have been brought out
by questioning him, Col Roosevelt
said, and, inasmuch as he will not be
questioned, he pans at present to
confine himself chiefly in his letter to
refuting the testimony of John D.
Archbold, In which Mr.. Archbold said
he was assured that Col Roosevelt
knew Of and approved the contribu.
ton Of 100000, which Archbold testi.
fled he made in 1904 to the Republi.
can campaign.
"Mr. Cortelyou tells me that he
never heard Mr.. Archbold's name men
toned in connection with any contri.
button by Mr.. Bliss" Col. Roosevelt
said, "and that, as regards himself,
the whole story is a fabrication out
Of the whole cloth, as of course it is
about me-"

NEW PARISHES IN MIxUP
Question Of Legality of Registrations
Causes Worry Among Officials.

Western Newspaper Union News Services.
Lake Charles.-Turmoil exists In
the new parishes recently created out
OF Calcasieu as to how the. registra-
ton shall be made, and inasmuch as
the vote is to be taken September 8
to determine the future parish sites
OF two of the new parishes, the matter
has reached fever heat.
The puzzle that has developed is
whether or not the voters who have
registered since Aug. 3 are registered
legally. The state election law re-
quires that registration books shall be
closed thirty days prior to any pri-
mary or general election. The regis
tration books of Calcasieu parish were
closed Aug. 3. In the new parishes,
however, the temporary registrars con-
tinued to register voters up to the
hour when the new law vacated their
offices. The question now is, are those
voters registered after Aug. legally
entitled to vote. The attorney gen.
eral has rendered an opinion in a case
cAPbACA pdllcH ludl al IcSlcAt
tons made since Aug. 3 are Illegal.
The conditions here are peculiar on
account of the division OF the parish,
and the opinion OF the attorney gener-
al as to the validity of the registra.
tions in the new parishes is awaited
with interest. Clerk of Court Cos
sett has applied to the attorney gen.
eral for an opinion on this point, and
also for instructions as to how many
deputy registrars he is authorized to
send out to the new parishes. In the
meantime he has sent a deputy to
each of the new parishes.
Beauregard Parish will not be af-
fected much. as the parish seat cleo
ton there is not to be held until>oct.
"a, and the voters will have time to
register. But in Allen and Jefferson
Davis the registrations will not open
in time to give them the thirty days
limit.

MARSHALL TOLD
OF NOMINATION
No Personal Mention of Names
in His Acceptance Speech.
Would Protect Poor.

Western Newspaper Union News ssrvies
Indianapolis-Gov. Thomas r. Mar.
shall of Indiana officially has learned
that he had been nominated for vice
president of the United States by the
Democratic party. He was formally
notified BY a committee of notification
headed by Judge Alton B. Parker of
New Fork, who was temporary chair
man at the Baltimore convention.
Judge Parker's speech was extempo-
raneous. He was followed by Gov.
Marshall, who accepted in a carefully
prepared speech the high honor put
upon him.
Thos who expected Gov. Marshall
to deal series of smashing blows at
his political opponents were disap-
pointed. Aside from mention Of the
tariff, the vice presidential nominee
did not deal specifically with any of
the bitter throbbing issues of the 1912
campaigns. He, did, however, dwell
upon the apparent unrest of the people
and predict that so per cent of the
voters of the United States are Demo
Gratis in that they believe in the po-
litical principles enunciated by Thorn
as Jefferson.
Gov. Marshall decried the "bandying
of epithets and appeal to the person
al" saying. I'VE may safely leave to
the senile dementia which has seized
the so-called Republican party the per-
sonalities of this campaign"
AS to the rival platforms he says:
"The voter who believes that the
cost of production at home and abroad
should be eQualized to the manufac-
'turer Of this county and who wants
an oligarchy to rule. may vote the
straight Republican ticket; the voter
who believes in similar protective
theory but who prefers an oligarchy
that the president shall be the state
may vote the Progressive ticket; the
voter who believes this government
should be turned into Socialism, may
vote the Socialitic ticket; the voter
who thinks that church and state are
not separate in America and that the
people have right to settle religious
questions and determine by the ballot
what is god and what is bad may
vote the Prohibition ticket; and all
those who insist that it is not the busi-
ness Of government to equalize the
cost Of production to the manufacturer
until it equalizes the difference in
the purchase price to the consumer at
home and abroad, who believes that
the only equalization justifiable in
our government is the equalization Of
opportunity, who thinks that public
office is public trust, who, does not
believe that disgruntled and defeated
politicians are genuine reformers and
who think that reforms are not born
with sore toes may vote the Demo
cratic ticket"
