MP. ROOSEVELT YIELDED
ITO POPULAR DEMAND"

In Oyster Bay yesterday Colonel
Roosevelt n1ade the following statement
in REGARD to his letter to E. A. Van VAL
kenbu-q:
at that time persistent efforts had
been rn7do from Washington to convince
the PruSressives that was really sup
porting mr.. Taft. On this particular
occasion the statement was made with
the greatest expcitness. I promptly de-
MED the statement, and was assured on
the one hand that il had been inspired
from the White House, and assured on
the other hand that il had not been, but,
on tho contrary, was made purely on the
initiative OF The Associated Press. The
Associated Press people assured me that
they were not responsible for the false
statements, and. as il will be seen by
reference TO the letter itself Mr.. Noyes
was quoted as having got the informa-
ton from, independent sources. do not
know who gave out this letter. but am
certain that il was not Mr.. Van Valken-
buro, for I know him 10 be an honorable
man.
"To oil who were at that time writing
to me 10 be candidate ! answered that
/ would not be. To all VINO asked wheth'
er | would accept il nominated ! an
swered Yes il knew them sufficiently
we'll to be sure that they would under
stand me; otherwise said simply that
/ would cross that bridge when ! came
TO il. and in most cases il the man was
at all a close personal friend ! told him
that counted on his doing everything
possible to prevent any movement look
ing to my nomination.
at was not until the last three or four
months that was finally obliged to come
to the conclusion that there was real
demand among the people as a whole for
my nomination which did not come in
any way from any personal friends OF
mine, and was neither inspired nor en-
aineered by them. When ! became con-
vinced that this popular demand was
real and was considerable, and when the
Governors of seven states, increased by
this time to ten, ] may mention incl
dentaIIy, asked mo whether ! would ac-
cept if nominated, | answered Yes. !
added an expression Of my wish that
wherever possible open preferential Pres
dentiaI primaries might be held, so as
70 find out who the Republican voters
wished % have nominated.
"If the people do not wish me to serve
most certainly do not wish to serve. II
they do desire me to undertake in their
interest a great task, ! shall do so, and
shall perform il with whatever courage
and ability | possess. Whether there
will be such an expression Of the popular
will carnot say, as where there are
no preferential primaries il unfortunate
Iy seems too often to be the case that
tho effort of the political leaders is not
TO give expression to the popular will,
but 20 thwart il in every way possible"

double back action slap at Tammany, in
that the new appointee would be neither
a Tammany politician Of any brand or

However. the Governors action on the

what Tammany through its control oi
the Senate chooses to do about confirm

has made no move. The organization"

MOT A CANDIDATE, SAID
LETTER OF JUNE 27, 1911

June II, 19ll.
My Dear Mr.. Van VaIkenburg:
am really obliged to you. Now will
you not Give Mr.. McClatchy from me
copy of this letter that ! am writing to
YOU and also send copy Of the letter to
MIR. Franz g. Noyes? Mr.. McClatchy
states that Mr.. Noyes informed him,
anent the story sent out by the "a. p"
that Mr.. Roosevelt had pledged himself
to support Taft for a second term, that
ne (Mr. Noyes) had the same informa-
ton from sources entirely independent
of those from which The Associated
Press received the story.
Mr.. Moves states that he understood
that | did so express myself TO men1-
ber OF tho Cabinet and also TO an in
sureent Senator. and says that he be-
Iieves :hat President Taft thinks that he
mas assurances of support from me. Mr..
Moves adds than he explains my denial
on the theory that | had explained my
attitude confidentially. and felt entitled
TO deny it when il was given publicity.
viii you tell Mr. McCIatchy and Mr..
Moves from me Tor send them copies OF
this letter. that Mr.. Noyes is absolutely
and completely misinformed, and that
there is not one particle OF truth in the
statements made TO him which he thus
repeated to Mr.. MeClatchy? The only
two members OF the Cabinet 10 whom
have recently spoken are Messrs. Meyer
and Stimson.
The former wrote me and the latter
informed me verbally. what in each case
/ knew already, that neither OF them had
made any such statement to MIR. TAFT or
to any one else. and that both OF them
understood perfectly clearly that ] was
not going TO support any man tor the
nomination in 1912, neither Mr.. Taft nor
any one else. The insurgent Senator OF
whom MIR. Noyes speaks is as wholly
MYTHICAL a character as the Cabinet MIN
ister OF whom he speaks.
He cannot give the name OF that IN
suraent Senator or find Il out, or ne WI"
find that his informant will not give IT,
| made no such statement TO any lnsur-
Gent senator OF 10 any NaD''NN
or 70 any other human being.
The simple fact is that these stories
are not Misunderstanding, they are de-
liberate inventions. Mr.. Noyes is entire
Nv in error in stating that President TAFT
thinks he has assurances OF support
from me.
Mr.. Taft thinks nothing OF the KIND
He knows he has no assurances OF sup
,ort from me, and neither Mr.. Noyes
nor any one else has one least little par
ticle Of ground for the opinion thus e*-
,ressed. at first thought that the
story in question was given out from the
White House, but am now assured that
/, was aotten up and given out by Inc
Assooiated Press representative at tho
white House, and from Mr.. Noyes's
etatement / should gather that this was
true.
wish Mr.. Noyes, as president OF Inc
Associated Press, to know that tho story
,..s not Misunderstanding, was not
h,esd uoon misinformation, but was
d.l;becate invention, made out OF whole
o,oth without one particle OF basis be-
vond the imagination Of the man VINO
made it.

lutte MILL EARNS SURPLUS
Industry at WaIIa WaiIa Penitentiary
to Show $s5,179 Profit.

Olympia.-The state of Washington
will net a profit of about $85,179 from
the operation of the jute mill at the
Walla Walla penitentiary during the
present biennium up to the close Of
the selling period Il September, &C
cording to the report of Superintend-
emit Reed to the state board of control
It is expected that a total profit OF
100000 will be shown for the bienni-
UNI if the mill is operated on the same
basis as the present.
This profit is the direct result Of the
revision of the old jute mill law, and
is the first net revenue derived from
the jute mill during the whole period
of it's operation, nearly % years. The
profit goes into the general fund of
the state.
The abnormal profit is partially &C
counted for by the high price of sacks,
resulting from the failure of the Cal
cutta brokers to anticipate the enor-
NOUS wheat crop of the Inland EN-
pire for the present year.
