Washington. March 3.--The national Roosevelt headquarters tonight made a public statement disputing the claim of the national Taft bureau, that President Taft" in his candidacy for renomination has the support of Governor Hooper of Tennessee, Governor Oddie of Nevada and Governor Deneen of Illinois. The Taft bu- reau a few days ago made public tele- grams of Inducements from nine repub- liean governors, including telegrams from Governor Hooper and Governor Oddie No telegram had been received from Cover nor Deneen, but the managers of the Taft bureau claimed his support.
 Telegrams Given Out
 In connection with the statement tonight the Roosevelt headquarters gave out copies of telegrams from Governors Hoop CT and Oddie.
 Governor Oddie sent two telegrams:

Proclamation Published

MeNlco C1tN, March 3.--Publicatton today of the Taft proclamati ton and the statement issued by Amba ssador Will son operated to calm the aroused fears of foreigners in the capital to large extent At the same time there was a strong undercurrent of uneasness ap- parent. Many who chose 10 read be- tween the lines coulo detect hidden message which they interpreted a- probably the most pointed warning that could come out of Washington at this time that intervention would likely fol- low continuance of disorders. Others accepted the proclama ton at it's lee value. considering that 1t concerned por- eigners in the capital only remotely and was directed almost entirely to those in outlying and exposed localities.
 It Is fact, nevertheless. that the warning had the effect of causing many of the wavering ones to leave t;e country. Visitors are cutting their stay short and scores of residents who for weeks have been keyed up to a hign tension by the progress of events have announced their intention to go at the first moment when accommodations are to be had by train or steamer.
 Members of other foreign colonies than the American evinced keen interest in the proclamation apparently considering that their status In the country would be on 9 par with that of the American in event of serious disorders and not a few of these doubtless will be found among those going out. A Canadian, head of a large bank ing interest here, lost no time in seeking accommodation for his family on the first train north. Members of the British colony expressed the opinion that the proclamation, if warranted by the occa- sion, shoudl have been more explicit
 Americans of the higher class. of cooler judgment. looked upon 1t in a dlspassion- ate mind. The student element and mem bcrs of the lower class misled by the first versions discussed Ii with some heat as having some undeflned menace toward Mexico. No outward resentment was evil dent nor did foreigners give mp their usual Sunday recreatons by reason of the in- secure feeling prevailing.

Presidents Statement

btdttutNIt
 The Presidents statement announcing the launching of the plan was In part as follows:
 "1t is not my intention to define the purposes of such an organization or to endesyor in any manner to anticipate the scope of the discussion upon which such delegates may wish to enter. But it seems to me to be obvious that such organiza- tion must be instrumental in a very large field to aid and assist the executive and legislative branches of government in the intelligent and impartial development of domestic and foreign trade.
 For illustration, such an organization properly represented at the seat of gov ernment could be of inoalculable assist once in advising the executive branch of the government with respect to the meth ods and rules to be adopted by the ad- ministration of the existing law.
 "The giving of advice in regard to trade and councilling representatives of the ex- ecutive branch which asked to submit recommendations and advice on bills pend ing would be one of it's aims It would be in the best possible position to sug- Gest fields for new inquiry at home and abroad, the methods by which such in- quiries should be pursued and the means
 
 tageously brought to the attention of our merchants and manufacturers, and if is safe to assume that If such an organIza- ton Is created, it's chief activities would be developed in the light of our own ex- porience.
 "It may not be necessary that we adopt a course in all respects patterned upon tho system of any other commercial or in- dustrial concern. but it Is obvious that by some means immediate relation between tho government activities and the commer- cial and industrial forces of our country must be established, If we propose to en- joy the fun advantage of our opportunity in foreign and domestic trade.
 Conference Called
 "I have accordingly instructed the sec retary of the department of commerce and labor to take the steps to initiate at Washington as soon as possible a confer ence of delegates of combinations en- gagged in the development of commerce and industry in their respective districts such conference 10 discuss the establish rrent of national organization for com mercial developments and to outline the principles by which it should be goy- erned.
 ''The development of the plan will he left entirely with the accredited represen- tatives of such commercial organizations the essential principles being that the na- tional association shall be broadly rep resentative of the commercial interests of the whole country, and its organization shall be such that those in control of the association shall be readily responsive to the quill of the majority of the constit- uent members"

GIVES HIS VIEWS
 OF THE SITUATION
Doesn't Care so far as Personal Vic tory Is Concerned-Indiana Sit- uation Gone Over at Length
 at Oyster Bay

Oyster Bay March S.-Colonel Roose- velt's own views of the present Do- litical situation and his reasons for en- tering the campaign were explained by him today
 As he trudged along the country road from Oyster Bay village to Sagamore Hill on his way home from church the former President talked freely of his prospects and briefly stated that his req son for entering into a political cam paign as an active candidate was that men who share his political beliefs con- vinced him that they need an effective leader As to the prospects of victory, Colonel Roosevelt expressed the opinion that on a popular vote he would be the choice of his party by a big majority. How far this resolution might be mod flied by the interposition of the machin- cry of politics, he was unable to say.
 Colonel Roosevelt said he supposed a great many persons would not believe it, but that he had not wished to enter the fight.
 50 far as a personal victory is con- cerned. I don't care" he declared.
 Position Different in 1904
 In 1904. he said, his position was diff ferent He was desirous of the nom nation because he wished the people s zeal of approval. But in taking up the fight this year he was opposing his personal ineinations. Many supporters had come to him and represented that they need leader and that there was widespread demand that he assume the responsibility. It was in response to these representations, the colonel add ed, that he had at length determined to accept the leadership.
 Colonel Roosevelt's assertion that he believed a large majority of republican voters favored him was made when he was Informed. ef .the result 4nf. a -nanvass in different sections of the country, show ing an alleged ratio of to l for Roose- welt The colonel said he thought that about represented the situation.
 In all but four or five states, includ- ing Delaware and Utah, Colonel Roose- welt said he believed he would receive a. majority on popular vote. He added that he felt confident he would have a majority of the Pennsylvania delegation to the national convention. He was told that the least vote of New England had given him an alleged slight lead over President Taft and he said that he was not at all surprised at that.
 Tt is three miles from Sagamore Hill to the church which Colonel Roosevelt at tends and he walked both ways with a long, rapid stride, which was almost too much for the less hardy persons, who reached home he turned to things politi- cal.

matter of bargaining, and yet shows

HOGGING CORN CROP
INSTEAD OF HUSkING
Some Farmers Find This Prac-
tice of Much Advantage at
Times

In these days of expensive labor
farmers sometimes find it TO their al
vantage to hog off some OF their corn
instead of husking 1t. The amount thai
should be hogged off should be decided
upon beforehand. and should of course
be proportionate to the number OF
hogs which are expected to consume
II There should be access TO water
and the results will be all the better II
the hogs. at the same time, can have
access to n clover. blue grass or alfal'

Ill II is pretty well matured; that Is.
until the grains are well denied. Hog
cling II off before that time means a
waste of feeding value. for corn grows
until the leaves are killed by frost or
die naturally. There are many cases
I'm which 1t is quite as well and much
cheaper to hog the corn of than to
husk Il and feed it TO the hogs. and
the practice is growing more popular
every year.

The farmer who will pay close at

a rule the native" lambs sent 10 the

to breed and feeding. that they are a
torment TO the buyer and OF little prof

This is one OF the reasons why the

large fiocks and go 10 market prac-

small portion OF the native lambs
that are sold in the eastern markets
can be called prime. and his fact is
entirely the fault of the farmer.
