"Mr. Penrose gave this evidence cn hearsay. It is a thoroughly base and contemptible thing for Mr. Pen rose to repeat such evidence on hear say." Colonel Roosevelt then referred to letters which he gave out last night, which he sent to George B. Cortel yo i. chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee in 1904. directing that no campaign contribution be re reived from the Standard Oil Com pany. "Any man who reads these let ters." ho continued, "is bound, if he is an honest man, to state that I act ed in absolute .qood faith and that if any contribution was made by the Standard Oil Company, it was with out my knowledge and in spite of my absolute prohibition. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Every trust-controlled news paper in the land is doing evervf hinn in its power to beat me. Do you think that those trust papers would be trying to beat me if I had been satisfactory to the Standard Oil Com pany and that crowd? Thy are against me because not one true, not one individual, was able to use or in fluence me while I was President. That is why they hate me." Col. Koosevelt Want to Testify. On Saturday night Col. Roosevelt wired Senator Clapp in Washington, asking if he might appear on Monday before the Senate Investigating Com mittee to make a statement on his own behalf on the charge of Archbold that he understood Mr. Roosevelt knew of the Standards contribution. Mr. Roosevelt stated he would not allow Archbold's untruthful hear say evidence go unchallenged. Sen ator Clapp said he could not get his committee together to hear Mr. Roosevelt, but Col. Roosevelt an nounced he would issue a statement anyway. Nothing in the Accusation Against Colonel Roosevelt. The following editorial bearing on the case is clipped from Monday's Charlotte Observer: "In the absence of any proof that Mr. Roosevelt knew of the Archbold contribution," comments The New York Tribune, "it is not to be assum ed in the face of his denials that he did know of it and that in 1904 he as and ever since he has been play ing a part of elaborate and suctained hypocrisy." Furthermore, as The Tribune does not overlook, Roose velt's letter to Treasurer Bliss now published shows a absolute refusal of Standard Oil contributions by him at the time. This is how the matter appears to a newspaper which is strongly opposed to Roosevelt but mindful of its reputation for fairness. Penrose and Archbold are not very credible witnesses, to say the least. In the nature of the case, they can speak only from hearsay, at that. They said nothing until the only man ho could have confirmed or contra dicted Roosevelt was dead. There is nothing whatever in the whole accu sation, so far as we can see.", First and Second Claa lOKofllrt Will Not Put Up Mail on SfinL j j Congressmen Went Asleep. j No mall will be delivered or put? into boves on Sunday at any of the first and second-claes postoffices throughout the United States tw?gin-' ntng next Sunday.

Some argue that everything should! be closed up tight on Sunday.

JUDGE IS OP POSED IX SEATTLE. Mr. Taft's Selection for Ilanford's Seat Has Corporation Record. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 26. State wide indignation has resulted since the announcement that President Taft had sent the name of Clinton W. Howard of Bellingham to the Sen ate for confirmation as Federal Judge for the Western District of this State to succeed Cornelius H. Hanford, whose resignation was forced while undergoing impeachment preliminary investigation. A storm of protest came in from all points of the State because of Howard's record and connections, and mass meetings have been arranged for in his home city of Bellingham to protest against the appointment. Hundreds of telegrams have been sent to Washington opposing him. It is generally regarded that the same conditions that prevailed un- But he has solved no knotty prob lems of State or had enacted any great laws, but has merely gone through his daily routine of duties, or in other words, attended to the lit tle things and devoted his spare time to distributing pie among the dum mies down in North Carolina. But what surprises me most is the fact that he did not give the "niggers" anyway, after they had been such a great help to ,him, for in Mr. Taft's i own words, the negro delegates at Chicago stood by him very faithful. And without his negroes he could not have been nominated. Now, friends, I ask you in the name of justice and honesty: will you vote for a man who was nomi nated by a stolen delegation? Mr. Taft and his allies stand out in a class to themselves for boldness and daring. They have never been excelled. In the face of ninety mil lion people his bosses committed a great political theft. And now his men have the face to ask us to prove it. Do you want proof that the sun shines, or that night is not day? It is such a plain case of theft that I don't see how any honest man can endorse it, if he will only reason. Col. Roosevelt could have been nom inated if he would have thirty of those fraudulent seated delegates who offered to stand by him in the nomination, but Col. Roosevelt refus ed their support, saying that he would not sacrifice .the principles for which he was fighting, even for the nomination. Mr. Spence charges Col. Roosevelt I have had with ivey from washing with water, mud, sand and soap. C. L. J. Fairview, N. C. WHAT SUFFItAOETTKS CAN IK). Darn the Government, Ihtrn Sock and Vote cm Election Iay.

Judge. aid's tenure of otfice Howard for years has been the chief lobbyist of Stone and Webster of New York, who have immense elec tiic trpction and lighting interests in this State. He has been constantly m the Capitol during sessions in their interests as well as those o fthe Great Northern Railway Company, of which he is counsel. He was involved in the scandal here a few years ago which cost Milo Root his seat on the S ate Supreme Court when it was' shown that Chief Counsel Gordon of the Great Northern wrote a decision clearing the railway company to which Root signed his name and handed down as his own. Howard is a brother-in-law of E. H. McCord, who received fabulous sums as a receiver and attorney for receiver in Hanford's court, as was developed during the Congressional probe here. Considerable fear was expressed here until last week about a Federal grand jury when McCord, It is re ported, openly boasted that there was no cause for worry, "the new judge will keep the grand jury in line." The announcement tha his brother-in-law had been appointed after the many ugly relevations and develop ments of the Hanford hearing has caused even the men in charge of the Taft campaign in this State to won der how the President was induced to name Howard abide by their decision. Has Mr. Taft ever said as much? Colonel Roosevelt is a great leader, but he is far from a boss. I deny that those bosses who stole the nomination are the greatest men in the Republican party, and I also deny that Mr. Taft is the nominee, but if so, then God have mercy on the Republican party, and the sooner she dies the better it will be for the people.
