This statement was made today
by Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who will
resume his speaking engagements in
the East next week after treatment
of a carbuncle.
Colonel Roosevelt did not COM
ment on his failure to keep his en-
gagement at Goshen.
The interview given out by Colonel
Roosevelt in New York confirms the
story printed in The Times that he
had forced the present attitude OF
Governor Jackson and Clyde Walb
in pledging an investigation Of the
corruption charges made by Thomas
Adams for Republican editors.
Roosevelt, or his arrival at La
Grange, wrote his declaration against
corruption and passed it to Jackson
and Walb. Up to that time they
had made no statement concerning
the matter and the Governor had
refused to permit Stephenson to be
seen at the prison.
