GIVES EEPLY IN A
VERY BBIEFLETTER
Boston, Mass.. Feb. 2fi "We're in the
fight, that's all." said Theodore Roose
velt today. It was his only comment
on his statement issuea yesterday that
he would accept (he presidential nom
ination if offered to him.
With Mr. Roosevelt squarely on rec
ord, the active work, of getting to
gether a Roosevelt organization was
begun here today.
Telegrams from many parts of the
country and visitors urged Mr. Roose
velt to roll up his sleeves and throw
himself into the fray, but he let it be
known that for the present he Intends
to do little, preferring to await Indica
tions of the effect of his announcement
He said that his visitors today were
forming a Roosevelt -organization in
Massachusetts, but that he would take
no part in it. While he will keep in
touch with the political situation in all
parts of the country, Mr. Roosevelt ex
pressed the determination to identify
himself with no Roosevelt organization.
Requests for Many Speeohes.
Requests for speeches have been re
ceived from several states, but Mr.
Roosevelt said he had not made up his
mind what to do. " He said, however.
' that whether or not he enibarked on a
i speaking campaign, be would relter
I ate time after time his belief in the
1 political principles he set forth in his
I speech at Columbus. O. It is on this
platform that the itoosevett campaign
Is to be fought
During the first part of his visit to
Boston, Col. Roosevelt confined himself
to meeting friends of younger days at
Harvard ana taiKing oi nis lavome
authors. He was scheduled today for a
number of political conferences.
Col. Roosevelt spent last night with
judge Robert Grant. He said -he ex-
Sected to take luncheon today with.
Era. Margaret Deland, the author, and
Mrs. Roger Wolcott widow of the for
mer governor governor of Massachu
setts. Then he is to go to the home
of Grafton Cushing, speaker of the
Massachusetts house. With his visit
tn the nrMwker. where he is to remain
over night he will plunge into political
conferences which probably will keep
him busy much of the time until he
leaves Boston.
Among those whom he expects to
meet are governor Bass of New Hamp
shire, and reoreeentatlves of the
militant progressive Republican league
Of Massachusetts. The colonel hoped
to find time during the day to stroll
about among the book 'shops of Boston.
Roosevelt's Statement.
"I wilt- accept the nomination for
tbe presidency if -it is tendered me. and
I w(U adhere to this decision until the
convention has expressed Its prefer
ence," Is Col. Theodore Roosevelt's .re
ply to tbe letter of seven Republican
governors asking him to stand for a
nomination.
The eagerly-awaited reply was given
out at Col. Roosevelt's offices here dur
ing his absence on. a trip to Boston.
It was unexpectedly nnei, out ueuniic.
It follows:
"New Tork. Feb. 24, 1813.
"Gentlemen: I deeply appreciate
your letter and I realize to the full tbe
heavy responsibility it puts upon me.

"I absolutely agree with you that
this matter is not one bo be decided
with any reference to the personal
preferences or Interests of any man,
but purely from the standpoint of the
interests of the people as a whole. I
will accept the nomination for presi
dent if it is tendered to me and I will
adhere to this decision until the con
vention has expressed Its preference.

I have stood and for which I now
i stand and which I have always en

that so far as possible the people may
be given the chance, through direct
primaries to express tneir preierence

The above named governors assem
bled at Chicaco two weeks ago ana
drafted a letter to CoL Roosevelt
asserting there was a popular demand
for him to be president again and
urging him to declare himself as to
whether he would accept the Repub
lican nomination "If It came unso
licited and unsought"
For two weeks Col. Roosevelt con
sidered the letter. Indicating plainly
that he had no intention of making a
hasty reply. The governors letter fol
lows: "Chicaga Hl Feb. 18, 1812.

ATTUCSON
Believes Delegation to Na

Be Uninstructed.
answers McGregor
and "progressives"
Sherman, Texas, Feb. 26. Cecil A.
Lyon, Republican state chairman and
national executive commltticraan for
the Republican party in Texas, issues
a statement declaring for The.
Roosevelt for president but suggest
ing that the state send, an uninstruct
ed delegation to the national conven
tion at Chicago. He also takes occa
sion to answer some of the state
1 ments of the "Progressive Republican
League of Texas" and shows by the
records where they are wrong. The
statement follows:
I have never been one of those citi
zens who thought that everything
good was in the Republican party and
everything ban in the Democratic The
Republican party 'necessarily has par
asites, it being composed of human
beings. -All pernicious parasites
should be eliminated .from all bodies,
whether they be human or political.
Some of the press of Texis on Fri
day morning contained an address To
the Republicans of Texas," f'om what
is known as the "Progrsssive Repub
lican League of Texas."
Before noticing this a-ldress in de
tail, one, should consider the meaning
of progress and progressiva. What is
known in some places as a "fiddler,"
and In other places as a sand crab,
progresses sideways: a crawfish pro
.gresses backwards: while I understand
that the fabled animal known as a
"side hill lancer" runs round 3a cir
cles. Intellectual beings progress
straight ahead.
Consistency Is Absent
Consistency, we are told, is a jewel.
Apparently the Progressive Republic
an League of Texas Is nob composed
of Jewelers. The opening paragraph
of their address says:
"It is also needless for us to suggest
that the record of the soealled Repub
lican party in Texas, since 182 to
the present date, is a record of. re
peated party blunders." and in the sec
ond paragraph roliowing, it state.
"From 188 to 1900 the party was un
der the matchless leadership of Hon.
E. H. R Green but by the
selfishness and unabated agitation at
a coterie of Republicans, led by the
national committeeman, his efforts
werA frustrated- " There

is called- to the fact that In 1. and
fram 1892 to 1SJS, the national com
mitteeman for Texas was a negro
(Wright Cuney. of Galveston), and the
present national .committeeman bad
nothing to do with the leadership In
those days.
.Some 5!statement
In paragraph 2 this intelligent ad
dress of the progressive Republicans (
says: In lss the narty, under tne
leadership of the present national
committeeman and state chairman, in
dorsed the Populist party, headed by
Jerome Kearby, who preached and ad
vocated all the heresies of the Popu
list party, including free coinage of
silver at the rate or to 1." Refer
ence to any newspaper file, covering
the years from 1896 to 1900. will show
that John Grant was a member of the
national Republican committee, and
that E. H. R. Green was stato chair
man during those four years, and the
fusion with the Popnllsts was ar
ranged by a "plenary committee" of
Republicans composed of K. 1L H. i
Green, John Grant nd E. H. Terrell, J
who arranged the fuslin with a sim-
liar committee appointed by the P"0
ulists. and tbe present Jtite ciiai-man

committeeman and state chairman is
not indebted to any member ? t:ie
Progressive Republican League of
Texas for having held those offices
at any time from the beginning until
now, and he considers tneir jollt:ual
opposition as a character asset.
The EI Paso Convention
Paragraph 4 of th.j scintilating Pro
gressive Republicans r.ddress states
that the present head of the Repub
lican organization "began by arbitrar
ily calling the Republican conven
tion 609 miles fro.n tht euter of j.op
ulation in El Paso." This means, ac
cording to its language that the con
vention was held 600 miles from EI
Paso, but is probably as near as the
assembled intelligence of the Progres
siva Republican league could come to.
sayinsr that the convention was held
in El Paso, which was 800 miles from
the center of population. This is a
point blank misstatement of facts, to
which only the "short and ugly word"
should apply, for the record of the
meeting of the state committee which
called the convention at Kl Paso, and
