PRTNT ROOSEVELT LETTERS
TO SHOW INCONSISTENCY
Colonel Confesses He Said Re
peatedly That He Would Not
Become a Candidate But Never
Said He Would Not Accept
WABH"INc;TON. March 4.—The na
tional Taft headquarters made public
today a complete letter written by
Colonel Roosevelt. August IS, 1111 to
A. P. Moore, publisher Of the Pitts
burg Leader, asking him to cease ad
vocating the nomination of Roosevelt.
The substance of the letter is as fol
lows: "1 am sure you will understand
■what I say you must ask not only yon.
but every friend 1 have to see to It
that no movement whatever is made
to bring me forward for the nomina
tion In 1912. 1 feel I luce a right
to ask all my friends if necessary to
work to prevent any such movement,
I shonld esteem it a genuine calamity

Tinder a New York date the Wash
ington Star today printed what pur
ported to 00 the full .text of a letter
written by Roosevelt to B, A, Van
Valkrnburg, president find editor of
the Philadelphia North American, in
which the writer says he will not be
a candidate for the presidential nom
ination in 1912. The letter is dated
June 27, I 811. and asks that a copy
of it be sent to Frank B. Noyes and
to Mr. MeOlatehy. "McClntehy, says
Kriyes Informed him anent the story
sent out by the Associated Press that
Roosevelt pledged himself to support
Weft for a second term, that he
(Noyes) from which th» Associated
Press received its story. Neves states
Hie understood. "I did so express my
self to a member of the cabinet and
also to an insurgent senator and says
he believes Taft thinks he has assur
rances of support from me."
Never Pledged to Tart
The writer then a.«ks Van Valken
burg to tell McClatchy and Noyes that
Noyes was absolutely and completely
misinformed and there w-as not one
particle of truth in the statements
made to him, which bo thus repeated
to HcOtotChy, The writer asserts that
the only cabinet members talked to
ere Meyer and Stimson, and both
these bad written or told him they
had not made such Statement to Taft
or to anyone else and that both un
derstood Roosevelt was not going to
Support any man for the nomination
in 1912. The writer says insurgent
■senator of whom Noyes speaker is
"wholly a mythical character."
The letter concludes with the state
ment, that Roosevelt expressed liim
uelf freely to a number of persons al
ways to the same effect, "that 1 would
not be a candidate in 1912 myself
end that 1 had no Intention of taking
eny part in the nomination for or
against any candidate."
Always Willing to Accept
OYSTF.It BAY, March 4—Colonel
Roosevelt Said today It was perfectly
true he had said tie would not be a
candidate, in 1912 and had made the
Statement to ninny persons he said,
but he had not declared he would
not accept the nomination if tendered
him. He drew a distinction between
becoming a candidate and being will
ing to accept the nomination.
The colonel made it plain he saw
nothing about the Van Valkenburg
letter to conflict with his recent state
ment that he would become nominee
©t the party If bis party asked It." In
a statement explaining his stand In
this matter and the circumstances
which induced him to write the Van
Valkenburg letter, RooSevalt said
there vf&» at that time persistent ef
forts to convince .the progressives
that he really was supporting Taft.
On this occasion ha says the state
ment was mads with great explicit
nes«. "I promptly denied the state
ment and was assured on the other
hand that it had been inspired from
tile White House and assured on the
other that It had not been but on the
contrary was made purely on the ini
tiative of the -Associated Press. Tile
Associated Press people a»Rured me
they were not. responsible for the
false statements and as it will he seen
by the reference to the letter itself
Hayes was quoted a.* having got his
Information from uther sources."
