regarding the attitude of the Presi-
dent.

surprised if the President vetoed the

fidence that tie House had met the
objections raised by the President

the White House.
Mr.. Snyder (Rep.. " Y.) told the
House he had conversed with the
President about the bill and that he
would be very much surprised If the
President approved the bill now being
passed.
Mr.. Longworth contributed hither-
TO unpublished letter written by the
late Theodore Roosevelt. or at least an
extract from one. II had nothing to

the methods employed by the Republi-
can majority in the House. Mr.. Long
