The purpose tor which Mr. lUiosevelt made this excerpt and assert? ed that thereby 1 intended to declare in favor of an oligarch}* was made manifest In his subsequent speeches, in which he proceeded to charge that the oligarchy 1 was In favor of was an oligarchy of bosses. lie says that all the bosses urn In my favor, and all of theni against him. This is not true. By his association with William Pllnn, ef Pittsburgh, there Is being restored to power In that city und In Pennsylvania one of the most municipal bessea that the history of that Slate knows. Mr. Roose? velt's chief supporter In Ohio to-day is Walter Brown, the only boss in full commission In the State, and who Ik looking forward to State control under Mr. Roosevelt's administration. He charges me with association with Mr. Harnes, of New York, while he is silent as to the support and ndvlce he Is re? ceiving from William Ward, of the. same State. Mr. Roosovelt knows that In lit 10 but for the support he received from my friends as against Mr. Barnes and Mr. Ward, he would not have been nominated as temporary chairman of the New York convention. Now. Mr. Barnes supports me and opposes Mr. Roosevelt oh the ground that he does ' not believe in the principles uf govern? ment that Mr. Roosevelt proposes to : embody in o;:r fundamental and statu? tory law. Ho drags in the na:no of Senator Crane, of your state, in an unfriendly way. With respect to Mr. Crane. I may be permitted to say to r.is friends and neighbors that I feel r"'Ud to be as? sociated with him. He is a man whom Mr. Roosevelt Una frequently himself said Massachusetts ought to be con? gratulated for choosing ns Its repre? sentative. He was three tlmca elected Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and three times Invited by Mr. Roosevelt Into his Cabinet. He Is a worthy Senator of Massachusetts, u man of high mind, of most generous Instincts, u most cfflqlen; public ser? vant, and one who looks to the Inter? ests uf his constituents und who fol? lows the business In the Senate with the greatest devotion. Mr. Roosevelt invited him to manage, his presidential campaign In lOol. But Mi. Crane docs not now support Mr. Roosevelt und must bo condemned. ! The truth with respect to me Is the same, as It Is with respect to Mr. Roose? velt. When I am running for the presidency I gratefully acci pt such support as tomes to mt.

False Statement In i.orlmer rase to I'eople of Illlnotx. Third. The scat of Mi. I.orlmer from Illinois in the Senate rjf the United ..States was contested In the. last ses? sion. A hearing was had before the ISIootlons Committee and the Senate, and tho contest was defcrited and Mr. Lorlmer'a tltlo to his seat was declar? er valid. A retrial tui ordered on the ground of newly discovered evidence Mid is now p. ndlng. The Issues arla |lng Otlt Of thin contest have colored In every way the polities Of Illinois, and eioused a strong feelltiff against Sen ator I.orlmer among tue Republicans of thai state, in the recent canvass I of that State, Mr. Roosovuit, who spoke I at many places In tho state, and hla [campaign managers, did not hcsltat? *u> llnk'my name with Mr. Lorlmer's'ln ai euch a way as to give tho Impression to his auditors that n vote for me was a vote for Mr. Lorlmer. I have not soen Mr. Iiorlmer for two years, and havo had no communication with or film him. Mr. Roosevelt attempts to connect Mr. Lorlmer with nie through Mr. McKinley. I havo no Knowledge! of any especial relation between them,] except as active Republicans from tho: same State. I asked Mr. McKinley to help mo In my canvass, because he was a good friend, having accompanied me on a trip to tho Philippines, and be? cause ho was chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, and hnd boon recently elected to that position by the votes of the Insurgent Republicans of the lloure. Mho sup? ported him avowedly because lie had been fair to them. In Illinois Mr. Liorlmer was con-I ducting a campaign of his own with i his own nominees. 1 did not ask bis! support. Ho did not tender It io me. Any Influence, he may have given In my favor was not because ha liked me. but because he felt more blttor toward Mr. Roosevelt. Without j further circumstances or knowledge, ' It would hnvo bee'n unfair and un? just for Mr. Roosevelt to attempt to dra-w down on me the populnr In- ? dlgnatlon against Senator Laorrmerj and thus to carry the Slat-" of Illinois against me; but it was peculiarly irn- ' fair In Mr. Roosevelt to do this when ho knew what he did know as to my , actual attitude toward Senator 1 ?orl- j mer. In January of 1011 1 wrote to Mr. Roosevelt as 'follows: (Personal.) Tha White House. Washington. January C. 1911.

I submit below our correspondence on the subject of reciprocity: (Confidential.") Copy: The White House. Washington. January 10, 1011 My Dear Theodore: ?????? ?Tust at present I am In the midst, of reciprocity matters, and It would gratify me n great deal to talk over with you this issue, i have, an you have known, always boon a low-tariff anil downward-revision man, and the reason why 1 favored the last tariff bill and praised It as t? ?> best ono we had ever had was: Tliat tho consid? eration of It on Its t>ast>nge an<1 tno efforts of those who defended It af? terwards to show that It was n down? ward revision were ull a concession by the Republican party that downward revision was nocessary, and that the rule upheld by Bh ?w and Cannon and other standpatters of tho orthodox type that no tariff could bo too high, because what you needed was a Chl ncso wall, hud been departed from. Now, tho probability Is that we shall reach an agreement with our Cariadiun friends by which nil natural products ?cereals, lumber, dairy products, fruits, meats, and cattle?shall enter both countries free, and that we shall get a revision?not as heavy a one as 1 would like, but a substantial one, und equivalent certainly to the French reciprocity tiyuty and probably more? on manufactures, Tho truth Is that the minute that wo adopt In convention the proposal that our tariff shoul,] bo measured by Um difference In the cost of produc? tion wo necessarily adopt a rule which would lead us straight to reciprocity In natural products wiuh Canada, bo cause tho conditions In the two coun? tries an- so similar that there is sub? stantially no difference In the cost of production. Possibly labor is slightly lower In some parts of Canadn than In Um United States, but It Is also higher In some parts, and the adop Uon of frco trade would rapidly In creaSo tho co.?t of labor In those parts Where It Is cheaper in Canada, so thai Uae conditions would be the same. I It might at first have a tendency to reduce the cost of food products somewhat; It would certainly make the reservoir much greater and pre? vent fluctuations. Meant im? the i amount of Canadian products we would lake would produce a current of business between Western Canada and the United States that would make Canada only an adjunct of thoi L"nlt.-:d States. It would transfer alt their important business to Chicago' and New York. with their bank I credits and everything rise, and It] would Increase greatly tho demand of j Canada for our manufacturers, I see I tfhis Is an argument against rerlpro^ city made !n Canada, and r think It Is a good on^. The. proposition is to make nn ar? rangement hy which ive shall pre? sent to both Houses of Congress an Identical bill, and pass It as an agree? ment for Joint legislation. In this way wo would avoid the necessity for two-thirds In tho Semite, nn,| would freeure at onco tho consent of the) House, which In tariff matters l.i gen- ' orally regarded as necessary, at any1 rate. This will cause a great COmmo- j tlon, I presume. It will he unpopu? lar In New York because of certain lumber-manufacturing interests ?nd the dairy Interests. It will be un? popular in Minnesota because of v.v:eat; hut on the other hand, free Iumbe?r will be popular In some plnccs. and as it Includes free paper and free wood pulp wo may count on th; fair? ly good support of the pr,ess. i This lettrr. of course, 1 must ask j you to regard as confidential, though j I would lie gin.I to .have you discuss i with colleagues on the Outlook such a proposition, and should be g'nd to hoar from you as to your Judgment of] lt. I think it may break the Repub? lican party for awhile. As Elthu Root said wh>n I talked wltft him yester? day, It may be an enterlnr wedge against protection, olthough It 1? not inconsistent with the principle of pro lection ns we laid It down In Chicago. Of course It will be said nsainst it | that we arc taking agriculture and| making It suffer first bofor* we tackle I wool and cotton. The bill Is not | ? ikely to pass the present Cona-res.--, and before the new Congress comes, together I think I shall be able to | make some recommendations as to] the wool and 'otton schedules and pre .nt a problem to the Democrats wih.lch they are. not likely to rind an easy one.
