Considers Comparison Of American People With the
Crucifying Mob in Poor Taste
DRAWN ON A JURY BUT PROMPTLY CHALLENGED
Colonel Says He Would Be Glad to Serve Jury But Does
Not Like to Go to the Courthouse Daily For Nothing
Mayor Gaynor and Governor Wilson Exchange Letters
of Mutual Admiration Taft Delegates Are Chosen

letter Governor Wilson takes occas-
ion to declare how lightly he regards
unfounded criticism.
Misrepresentation" says the gov
ernor. is the penalty which men in
public life must expect in the course
of their effort to render service; the
unfortunate fact is that there are
probably hundred of men in America
Of first rate intellectual force, of gen
uine public spirit and broad patriot
ism, who would be of immeasurab BILE
value to public service, but who are
deferred from entering 1t because they
shrink from this particular penalty.
They prefer to pursue private careers
rather than expose themselves and
their families to unfounded criticism
and attack, and the country is thereby
Impoverished Such attacks, more
over, create personal feeling and party
factions, which render the task of
government infinitely difficult for any
one to undertake 1t. II 10 the more
necessary, however, as look at it.,
that these things should be borne with
fortituoe II not with Indifference, in
order that our duty may be rendered
without regard to our personal feel
ing.
Your defense OF the historical ac-
curacy of the statement attributed to
me was very generous and trust that
1 may have. the pleasure of seeing you
soon to thank you in person"
