ROOSEVELT WILL RUN

Is rendered Him
Statement Issued from New York Sunday
Night in Answer to the Letter Of Seven
Republican Governors.

here to this decision until the convention
has expressed it's preference, is Col.
Theodore Roosevelt's reply to the letter
of seven Republican governors asking
him to stand for nomination. The eager
ly awaited reply was given out Sunday
night at Col. Roosevelt's offices in New
York during his absence on a trip to
Boston 1t was unexpectedly brief but
very definite. 1t was dated the Gath,
from New York, as follows:
Gentlemen: l deeply appreciate your
letter, and l realize to the full the heavy
responsibility it puts upon me, express
ing as ii does, the carefully considered
convictions of the men elected by popular
vote to stand as the head of government
in their several states.
II absolutely agree with you that this
matter is not one to be decided with any
reference to the personal preferences or
interests of any man, but purely from
the standpoint of the interests of the
people as a whole. l will accept the
nomination for president if it is rendered
to me, and ! will adhere to this decision
until the convention has expressed it's
preference. One of the chief principles
for which l have stood and for which 1
now stand and which / have always
endeavored and always shall endeavor to
reduce to action, is the genuine rule of
the people; and therefore l hope that so
far as possible the people may be given
the chance, through direct primaries, to
express their preference as to who shall
be the nominee of the Republican presi-
dental convention.
Very truly yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

drafted letter to Col. Roosevelt assert
ing that there was popular demand
that he be president again, and urging
him to declare himself as to whether he
would accept the Republican nomination
if lit came unsolicited and unsought.
For two weeks Col. Roosevelt considered
the letter. indicating plainly that he had
no intention of making hasty reply.

have had few feathers in their scrawny

PERSUASIVE and
INSTRUCTIVE TALK
Mrs. Lila G. English Highly Enter
tains Audience at Opera House
On Monday Evening.
STATE INSTITUTIONS At FAULT
Pool Halls and Saloons Come in for
Share Of 6Iame-Attacks De.
grading Amusement Places

The lecture on Monday evening at
the opera house by Mrs. Lila G. Eng
lish, of Lincoln, Neb, on "The Boys
Behind the Bars" was a delightful
treat for those who were able to at
tend. The lecture course tickets were
accepted at the door, which insured
very large audience. The general ad-
mission was placed at thirty-five
cents, so that those not having lec-
ture course tickets could find no fault
with the admission charged. The lec-
ture was one of the most interesting
as we'll as instructive addresses de-
livered in Denison for long time.
The speaker showed great familiarity
with prison life in the penitentiary
at Lincoln, as we'll as in other states.
She complimented highly the meth
ods employed in the penitentiary at
Lincoln, but did not speak so highly
of the way in which the penitentiaries
in this state are conducted; in fact,
she found great deal of fault with
the institutions in this state. Mrs.
English has no employment in either
penitentiary and her mission seems
to be to acquaint the people of the
country with the treatment accorded
the inmates of the prisons, and to de-
velop an interest in the welfare of
these unfortunate people. She feels
that the way to bring about reforms in
the penitentiaries is to acquaint the
general public with the mistreatment
and neglect visited upon the convicts
in the penitentiary. She does not con-
fine her criticism to the penitentiary
alone, but to the causes which con-
tribute toward filling them with the
young men of the country.
She was especially severe in her
denunciation of the pool halls and sa-
looms, which she regards as recruiting
stations for the penitentiaries. She
also criticizes people who sign peti-
tions for saloon permits. She is bold
