Oyster Bay, N. Y, June, 8. - Col.
Roosevelt replied today as follows to
VIM. F. Jackson of Maryland, who
invited him to address the National
Republican convention:
'In answer to your telegram can
only say that the matter lies with the
Republican convention, and that if
the convention desires me to address

q very earnestly hope that the Re

bIed at Chicago will keep steadily in
mind the gravity of this crisis, not
only for America but for the world,
and the need that their action in dig
nifty foresight and patriotism shall
rise level to the crisis. l hope that
the aim will be not merely to nOmi-
nate a man who can be. elected next
November, but a man Of such power,
character, steadfast conviction and
proved ability that if elected he will
again place this nation where it be
longs by making it true to itself and
therefore true to all mankind
THE professional German-Amer-
leans, acting through various agen-
cies, including sO-Called German

of your convention that your action
must be taken with a view to the in

of Germany, and of that section of
the German vote which is anti-AmeT-

This includes complete direc- Y tions and furnishings, all necessities, particular attention given to details, auto or hack free for funeral arrange rnents The above statement may seem extravagant and out of the ordinary, 4 but nevertheless positive fact, as what I furnish is of the best materials and workmanship and what other un- dertakers charge just about double. am adopting this method, in order that J the people of Bridgeport may know that the, day has passed of the old-fash- : toned high priced funerals.
