LETTER FROM w. L. HOUSER
Says Former President Encouraged
Senator to Be Candidate.
PROMISED SUPPORT, HE SAYS
Asserts When Progressive Movement
Developed Unexpected Strength
Roosevelt Decided to Run. !
Broken Promise Charged.

You said that Roosevelt declar-
cd that he could not be a candi-
date; that his place in history was
made; that he could not afford TO
take a defeat, and that whoever
made the fight was certain to be
defeated for nomination. and for
election If nominated; that this
was a democratic year; that La
Toilette would not be injured by
defeat: that there should be a
candidate representing the progress
sive movement; that La Toilette
was the logical man, and that il
he decided to make the fight he
should announce his candidacy at
once"
That Roosevelt encouraged La
Toilette TO become a candidate you
cannot denv. That he promised TO
do what he could by directing at
tention in the columns of the Out
look or otherwise TO the work ac-
complished by Senator La Toilette
In Wisconsin is admitted by your
self and Mr.. Pinchot. Can you say
that such promise would be no en-
couragement to a man who was
being urged to lead a fight? 1t
would speak little for the influence
of Col. Roosevelt If his promise
to help should not be regarded as
encouragement" Letter of La
Follette's manager to ellison Gard

clan leader, who is supposed to have
fired the shot that killed Judge Massie,

alone, unarmed and hungry in a de-
serted mountain hut, insists that he
has not seen his uncleS or cousins

edy. He says he had no part in the
shooting; that he went to the court
house unarmed and later took to the
mountains only because he heard the
posse men intended to shoot any mem

hunger. fatigue and the pain of
