when he was told that Depew w.uld no be appointed Ambassador to Trance, ai continued: "Bo you aee I waa brought forward by Roosevelt In an attempt to help him at his request." Mr. Harriman went on to apenk of the combination he believed hed been formed between Col. Roosevelt. Kllhu Moot. md Thomas W.

Ryan, and closed with his fair.nu query: "Where do I stand?" This was not the only famous pbrae that grew out of the eontroverey, for it was In his statement In reply to Mr. Harriman that Col. Roosevelt referred to him aa an undesirable "Itlxen." in the same class as Mover ana Haywood. Weetem leaders, who were at that time In III repute, and declared. that hi statement waa a deliberate and willful untruth: by rights If should be character-lied by an even shorter and mora ugly word." Col.

Roosevelt referred to the statement made to him by James fV Hiermnn, now Vice President, that Harriman had alleged that Roosevelt had promised to appoint Iepew Ambassador to France "at a time when he hart come down to aee ma in Washington when I requested Mm to ralnn for the-Republican Presidential campaign which was then on." Col. Roosevelt commented: Iteoaevelt'e Hernial. i never requested Mr. Harriman to raise a dpllar for the Presidential campaign of 1W4. On the contrary, our rnm-raunlcatlon as regards the campaign related exclusively to the fight being made against Mr.

Hlggins for Governor of New York. Mr. Harriman being immensely Interested in the success of Mr. Hlggins, because he regarded the attack on Hlg-gina as being really an attack on him, Mr. Harriman.

and on his friend. Oov. tldell. and he was concerned only In getting me to tell Mr. Cortelyou to aid Mr.

Hlgalns so far aa he could, which I glad-1t did." Col. Roosevelt's statement at this time consisted largely or a letter he hart written to Mr. Sherman detailing the circumstances. In making It public Col. Roosevelt aaid: "After writing these letters to Congressman Sherman the President mas assured that Mr.

Harriman had not made tae statements which Mr. Sherman credited him with making. Inasmuch as the same statements appear In the major part In the letter of Mr. Harriman now published, the President deems It proper that the tetters be sent to Congressman Sherman last October shall now themselves be made public." At tbe time all these details were pub lished Mr. Harriman reaffirmed what he had said In tola letter to Mr.

Webster, addlne: I was asked to go to Washlnaton by the President In the interests of the State ticket. I could helr to raise monev. That 1 did help In this regard; that I did raise funds Immediately upon my return from the Interview with the President Is undeniable, and to this fund I contributed afrUKM). I am not responsible for what Mr. Sherman may have said to the President with reference to the conversation he had with me.

All I have to say la that did not meet his urgent requests that I rnatribute to his campaign fund, and -that the statements alleged to have been attributed to me by him were false." The discussion of the Harriman campaign fund was revived recently bv the testimony of Wharton Parker before a Senate committee in Washington, In which he told ot meeting a distinguished financier whose name he did not mention, but who was easily recognisable as Mr. Harriman. In Broadway during- the 14 campaign. Thla eminent financier, ha said, told him Roosevelt was to be elected, and that they had frightened him so that he made a bargain with them on the railroad question.

Mr. Bliss received a contribution cf 1 100,01 and when President Roosevelt happened to meet -an official of the Standard Oil Company ha said to him: If your company is railed upon for a campaign fund -on't give any; it ia not When Mr. Bliss was told of this he aald: I waa deceived." and his friends aald that of all his embarrassments growing out of hia political activities he regarded thla aa hia greatest.

A petition asking that the name of Theodore Roosevelt be placed on the primary ballot as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the t'nlted State waa received by Secretary State Walt thla morning. The petition signed by John O. Yelser, an attorney of Omaha, and twenty-five other votera. Secretary Corrlck 0ft the La Follette State League, when Informed of "the action taken by John O.f Yelser in putting-Mr. Roosevelt's name nomination for the Presidency, made the following' atata.

mcnt: Genuine progressives will recosmlxe everywhere that a Roosevelt la a vote for Taft. A vote caat for Roosevelt by a progressive can have no other result than to advance; the interests pf President Taft for renofnlnation." Commenting this evening on the filing to-day of the name of Col. Roosevelt for the Freldentia.1 preference primary election In April. Gov. Chester H.

AMricta said: Without doubt his same could go on the ballit tn every State In the Union If Col. Roosevelt would; even give! the Kllghtet Indication that he would sanction it and he would be nominated for President at the net Xistlonal Convention Just as he was In JWrt. Here in Nebraska there Is a latent sentiment that needs but slight encouragement to become the'domlnatlng political force In the But In spite of Col. Roosevelt's declaration that he! doe not wish to be a caadlate for office under any circumstances, the people of this country msy put blm In a position that he niay feel It to be his moral and patriotic duty to accept the nomination. The people elected.

Jdm to the exalted position of the Presidency" when they wanted It. and It would be his grateful duty te become a candidate because they want him. i Col. Roosevelt could carry Nebraska and the West by even greater majority than he did before, which was a record-breaker. It Is my opinion that not only here In the West but1: over the entire country his nomination would cement and harmonise the working force of the entire Republican Party." OMAHA, Dec.

2U John O. Yelser. who filed the Kooeevelt 'petition, declined to say whether or not he was authorised by Col Roosevelt to file a petition to have his name put on the official ballot. He admitted, however, that he had been In correspondence with the former President. i Under our State law said Mr.

Yelser. the candidate Is not required to accept tne nomination, nor nag he authority to withdraw his name once It Is filed." i The Nebraska primary law makes It the dutv of the delegates to the National convention to vote for the candidate re ceiving the highest popular vote for Presl- aent. i his is a provlHion however like that under which the nennl Instruct the Piute legislature regarding Senatorial elections which could not be enforced should the delegates se fit to disregard It. according to the opinion of local at torneys. -i OYSTER BAY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. great jdeal of Interest was aroused; here by the; dispatch from Lincoln concerning the move to place Col. Roosevelt' nam on; the primary ballot. It la known here ithat John O. Yelaer corresponded with 'Col.

Roosevelt on tha subject, and that; the Colonel expressly forbaae the use of, hi name on the ground that ha Is not a candidate. The opinion la general that thla move to present Mr. Roosevelt's name to the primary voters in Nebraska came not from friends of Mr. Roosevelt but from friends or some other candidate, i The move might be effective for another candidate In two ways. The presentation of his name in a -State where pro-gresslvlsm In naturally strong would have great effect In splitting tn radical 4-ote or diverting It bodily from Mr.

La Follette or Mr. Cummins. That would leave a fighting chance for Mr. Taft. a the Nebraska primary law provides that a plurality voice shall tbind delegates to a convention for the candidate reonlvlng the highest popular Vote.

It Is certain that every faction opposing the candidacy of a atrong man will use the loopholes In the law; for aplltting: that candidate'a strength, afid aa yet no way Is apparent for preventing- them. Thue the name of every prominent Insurgent will be presented by i a-- little band of twenty-five petitioners In the hope, that each nominee will detract a little from the voting strength of the candidate moat feared. The Democrats, too can take a hand In the game. Just as the Republicans have already planned to themselves with the Democratic primary. William Jennings Bryan 1 anathema to the Nebraska Democrat, but hia name will be presented aa a Presidential candidate.

Just for the fun, of tha thing I And when the primaries are. at band if any particular 1 Democrat 4 feared, either by his partisans or by the Republicans, the names of every Democrat capable of cutting hia strength will be presented by willing petitioners.

That Is one of the examples of right thinking which now finds favor and one of the great duties of the Republican Party la to tearh the electorate to think correctly."
