his name as being opposed to state
wide prohibition, A reply by tele-
graph at Bakersfield, Cal, on the fol-
lowing day was requested, in order
that the answer might be used in the

Tumulty's response went to San
Francisco by mail and did not reach
the party until today at Parker, S. D,
No direct reference was made to
the California situation in Secretary
Tumulty's reply. He merely acknowl-
edged receipt of the telegram, en-
closed two form letters on the presi-
dents position and said that there
was a third-the Grogan letter.
which was inaccessible.
The letters enclosed were written
at different times to Rev. Thomas B.
Shannon OF Newark, N. J., and w. B
Haldeman of Louisville. In the Shan.
non letter. written in May, 1911, the
president declared for local option
and declared that the liquor question
was not susceptible of being made a
part OF party program, The Haldc-
man letter Of four years later said
that the president would not attempt
to approve or disapprove statewide
prohibition in state where he did
not know conditions. 1t also made
reference to the Grogan letter, which,
it appears, Mr.. Haldeman did not
think squared with the Shannon let
ter.

clare, after receiving Tumulty's letter.

stronger stand than for local option,
