| III which business I was at the time en- | gagged, but you know, William there is | nothing to the tears of an Indian, or all | undertaken. Tis simply an overflow of
 the optics which is like an April shower, | soon over and forgotten. Why, o why
 did you try to dictate to Woodrow? You | know, William, you have given the people ! or this commonwealth the opportunity on ! several occasions of making you their | leader, but for good and sufficient req
 sons they have cast aside these numerous ] opportunities and elected others. You
 should have known. William, that Wood
 row would not allow you to dictate the | policies of this country. He knew we | did not want you or we would have ac- i cepted you on some of the aforesaid oc- | casions to make of you the main
 squeeze" Of course you felt that because | of the stunt that you pulled off at | the Baltimore convention that Woodrow would feel in duty bound to do your bid | ding. The world Is familiar with the
 facts of the above mentioned convention wherein you were instructed for Champ Clark by your home state-Nebra ska. However, after getting your instructions as above and your credentials and after
 being seated and knowing all the time
 that Champ had and was willing to ceive the support of Charles Murphy and
 Tammany Half you then let your inten-
 tions be known that you intended to bring
 about the defeat of MT Clark, because,
 as you said. of "Tammanys" support
 This was clever of you, William, and
 showed just about as much consistency as your acts in refusing to sign this last
 note to the "Sauer Krauts'' of Germany
 You know, William, each time that you
 offered your valuable services to your country that you had asked and expected
 "Tammany' with his Tiger (Charles
 Murphy) to rally around your banner
 whether bore trnd 1arfft of ci
 teen to one or a bottle of grape iuiee Tammany was not better or hoer in
 the days of your youth when your as-
 pirations were so great than he was
 when MT. Clark was the aspirant for
 the highest honors that we could be-
 stow. few weeks after this treacher-
 ous act of yours towards MT Clark,
 was in Bowling Green, Mo. While there
 l inquired of the hotel man the location of Mir. Clark's residence. He directed me
 how to find it. In company with another
 gentleman we walked out past the place.
 We found an ideal looking place. the surroundings denoting peace, plenty and
 happiness. On our return to the hotel
 we met two ladies in a buggy, followed
 by the largest hound dog that I ever
 saw. On seeing this massive creature I was reminded of the saying which was
 and had been for some little time in vogue, Quit kicking my hound dog dIouHu oU our return to the nOtel the
 proprietor asked If we found the place."
 We told him I've did" and remarked on the beauties thereof; also told him
 of seeing the hound dog and of it's im-
 mense size. The hotel said the
 dog might be large, but that he was not
 the largest hound in the world" On be-
 ing asked where the largest one was"
 he promptly said, Lincoln, Neb."
 Now, William, while thoroughly dis approve of your action towards Champ at Baltimore, not that I was a Clark
 man, for l was not, as you know I was and am an Alabamian, and we had our favorite sons name before the above named convention. However, I
 did not quite agree with the hotel mans opinion of you, but from the | "cut of his eye' and the tone of his | voice prudence demanded that I should not take issue with him. I did not, nor l do I agree with him about the hound dog. but, William, I do know you to | be the biggest Jack A" on the Amer 1 ican continent today. If we have ever needed a Secretary of State since Woodrow was elected, we needed him | last week, and there is where you dem
 onstrated your absolute lack of fealty, loyalty and courage to Wilson and 1 your country.
 William, the only thing that I ad-
 mire about you these latter days is 1 your grape juice proclivites, and I | sometimes doubt your sincerity in this. | Now, William, we all feel down in "this neck of the woods" when you
 made this last false step that you thought that the psychological moment had arrived when it would be best for you to begin vonr press agency cam paign. You are a great advertiser. William, but this last ad of yours is a colossal failure, something like Theodore's when he was trying for third term against Woodrow, and one William Howard. wherein he employed some fellow to shoot him with a paper bullet, whereas, he (Roosevel) thought | was the psychological moment
 William. you do not stand any more | chance of a fourth nomination from | the democratic party than l do of be- | ing nominated for the Senate against | our Oscar, and that isn't any. We | have your number, also that of Theo- l dore's, and Richmond Pearson. and we have relegated them to the scrap heap" and you, William, we want you
 to return to your farm, confine your | efforts to raising more stock and | timothy hay and less fuss. The country l needs a rest You are like a parrot,
 you talk too much keep these long winded explanations to yourself, there by winning the undying affection of a l long suffering people.
 | Affectionately yours,
