N. Sept. 13. A letter written by the President to Conrad JCobrs of Helen. Moil, an old-time friend, waf made public to-night.

The ommureatlon. it wm explained, waa called forth by William J. Bryan's statement that be ai the President beir txA natural successor, The feature of Mr. Roosevelt's letter en acknowledgment of Indebtedness Tsft for standing shoulder to shoulder with him in bis fight for reforms and file declaration that the poUclea for which I stand are his policies as much as aJloe." He Inveighs against tbe demagogue aad the reactionary, the revolutionaries, tbe extreme radicals of unrest, and declares that reforms must be carried out by one who will have regard for honest capital end honest labor, as Well as flaming hatred for injustice. He declares Taft to be tte best man to carry on his work.

The letter follows: "I hsve received your letter about the candidacy of Mr. Taft, the man Who I feel is In an especial sense the representative of all that In which I most believe In political life. "Every good cltlsen should desire to see prosperity and Justice, prosperity and fair and righteous dealing as between man and obtain permanently In thla great Republic. As a people we re Justly proud of our business Industry, of our ennrgy and Intelligence In our wprk and It ts entirely right that we should ask ourselves aa to any given course of conduct. Will it be profitable? nut it ts also no lens emphatically true that the bulk of our people, the plain people who found in Abraham Lincoln' their especial and spokesman, regard the question, la this morally as even more Important than the question.

Is this profitable? when applied any given course of conduct. Indeed, in the long run our people are lure to find that In all dealings, alike In the business and the political world, what Is really profitable is that which Is morally right. Reforms Should Go Oa. "The last few years have seen a great awakening of the public conscience and the growth of a stern determination to do way with corruption and unfair dealing, political, economic, social. It is urgently necessary that' this great reform movement should go on.

But no reform movement is healthy If It goes on by spasms; if It Is marked by periods of frenzied ad- ranee, followed, as such of frensled advance must always be followed, by equally violent periods of reaction. The revolutionary and the reactionary really play Into one another's hands, ta the extent that each by his excesses necessarily tends to arouse such disgust. such a feeling of revolt. In the minds of qtilct people, as temporarily to restore the other to power. To permit the direction of our public affairs to tall alternately into the hands of revolutionaries' and reactionaries, of the extreme radicals of unrest and of the bleated conservatives who recognise no wrongs to remedy, would merely mean that the Nation had embarked on a feverish course of violent oscillation which would be fraught with great tern- adequate good In tbe end.

The truo friend of reform, the true ton of abuses. is the man who steadily perseveres In righting wrongs, in warring against abuses, but whose character and training are such that he never 'promisee what he cannot perform; that he always a little more than makes good what he does r. iu-v, leg. he never permits himself to be led I into foolish excesses which would daxnagen the very cause he champions. Taft Courageous and Generous.

in Mr. Taft we have a man who combines all of these Qualities to a degree which no other man In our public life lr.ee the civil war has surpassed. To a flaming hatred of Injustice, to a acorn Of all that Is base and mean, to a hearty sympathy with the oppressed, he unites entire disinterestedness, courage both moral and physical of the very highest type, and a kindly generosity of nature which makes him feel that all of his fellow-countrymen are c' in very truth his friends and brothers, that their Interests are his, and that all his great qualities are to be spent with, lavish freedom In their service. The honest man of means, the honest and law-abiding business man, can feel are In his hands because of the very fact 1.1 that the dlahonea man of great wealth, the man who swindles or robs bis fellows, would not so much aa dare to de- tend his evil-doing In Mr. Taft'e presence.

It The honest wage-worker, the honest la- i boring man; the honest the honest aiechanle or email trader, or man of email means, can feel that In a peculiar sense HTr, Taft will be his representative be cause of the very fact that he has the same scorn for the demaaroarue that he has for the corrupUonlst. and that he would front threats of personal violence from a mob. with the unqualling and lofty indifference with which he would front bitter anger of the wealthiest and most powerful corporations. "Broad though his s-yrapathlew are, there la In him not the slightest tinge of weakness. No consideration of personal interest, any more than of fear for his personal safety, coujt make him swerve a hair's breadths-Mom the course which be regards aa right and In the Interest of the whole people, I have naturally a peculiar Interest la the success of Taft.

and In seeing him backed by, a majority In both honsas of Congress, which will heartily support his policies. For the last ten years, while have been Governor of New Tork and Continued an Pare 3. MAINE'S ELECTION TO-DAY. ii Both Parties Are Hopeful Ltquor Question Again the Issue. PORTLAND.

Me, Sept. the Republicans confident and the Democrats hopeful, and with clearly defined Issue of local rather than of national Importance, the voters of Maine will cast their ballots to-morrow for Governor. State Auditor, members of tbe Legislature, and County officials. 1 The election of Bert M. Fernald of Poland, by at least 15.000 plurality, was claimed to-night by the Republican leaders, while their Democratic opponents predicted the success of Obadiah Gardner of Rockland, who heeds their ticket, by a safe margin.

The Republicans' have won in Maine In every election since 1888 toy pluralities averaging about 23,000 oa Presidential years, reaching, 28,36 In '1880, and falling to 12.5(0 in 1802. Both candidates) are well-known from lottery to the Passamaquoddy, for Mr. Fernald Is a large corn canner. while Mr. Gardner was the head of the State grange.

relinquishing that position this year In order to lead tbe Democratic host. The paramount Issue in Maine ts again the liquor question, and resubmission of the oonstitutional amendment to the people. The Democrats have also put forward a plea for taxation of the wild lands and a reform In the buslneee methods at the capital. The Republicans strongly advocate the enforcement of the Prohibitory law and the retention of the so-called Sturgi act with Its stringent regulation for the suppression of the 'liquor traffic -So utterly divorced has the campaign been from National Questions that In some localities Taft and Gardner clubs have been organised to encourage Republicans to vote the Democratic etate ticket, while the Republican campaign orators have urged the Democrats to Join in an effort to uphold the Prohibitory law.

LONDON. Sept. 14. Whether the British authorities were well or 111 advised In interfering at the last moment with the arrangements made for holding the procession of the blessed sad-rament In the streets of Westminster to-day Is a debatable question, with good arguments on both aides, and the fact that the intervention, first of Mr. Asqulth In private, and then of the Home Secretary in Ma official capacity, waa satisfactory to the extremists a neither aide, la merely the usual coo-mltant of most compromises.

All things considered. It Is perhaps Just as well that the procession should not have been held aa originally planned, for with the Immense concourse of people which gathered In Westminster there would undoubtedly, had tha host been carried In the procession, have been scenes which would have been deeply shocking to the Catholic mind. The crowds were not In mass Intolerant or rowdy. They gathered, not out of bigotry, but out of curiosity. Yt among that mass of a million people a sufficient number both of the bigoted and of the rowdy elements was present to make It certain that had the procession been carried out on the original plan deplorable incidents would have resulted.

As it was there was some hooting, and the processionists had at times to make their way In a most unprocesalonal fashion through the masses of spectators who broke through the lines of police and the Catholic guards. All devout Catholics will agree that It is a matter of rejoicing that the blessed sacrament was not carried in the procession under such' circumstances. Tbe offense which the first intimation that Mr. Asqulth had intervened gave to the Catholics' has been, to some extent at least, removed by the tone gpt.th.0. pprae Secretary respondent with Archbishop Bourne.

Altogether it is evident that the action of the authorities waa not dictated by any desire to enforce a law which is objectionable to a large section of the population, but due to a proper desire to maintain public order in the interests of all concerned. In the behavior of the Immense crowds which gathered at Westminster Is found ample proof that religious intolerance is confined to the minority. LONDON. Sept. IS.

The great procession of Catholic, clergy, which brought the Eucharistlo Congress to an end. was held this afternoon amid scenes such aa the English churchmen who planned it had never anticipated. Cardinal "Vannutelli, th Pope's Legate, walked at the head wearing his scarlet robes and hat. but not carrying the host. He was accompanied by a bodyguard of English peers, of whom the Duke of Norfolk waa the moat prominent, and a concourse of Car-J dlnals.

Archbishops, and Bishops, who also were attired In unceremonial robes instead of the vestments which It bad been originally purposed they should No such throngs of people have been seen In London since Queen Victoria's funeral. If even then. The purpose of Archbishop Bourne, the head of the Westminster Diocese, and his associates, whb arranged the programme, bad been to have the host carried through the streets In the rear of Westminster Cathedral, so that the great body of Catholics who were unable -to participate In any of the services within the cathedral should bave aa opportunity of Joining in the Eucharistlo observance and of seeing all the high ecclesiastics present in London on this memorable occasion. TaroaaTla Qnlet Streets. The route of the procession was' laid through the quiet streets adjacent to the Cathedral, and but for the unexpected partisan strife which a discussion of this ceremony brought on.

It would probably have been solemnised Quietly and in a reverent atmosphere. As It waa, a few were openly and demonstratively hostile. The Cathollo element cheered heartily while the procession passed by and throughout the route, but there was heard also considerable "booing" of the sort English people use In theatres to express displeasure at the play. The procession followed pontifical mass ra the Cathedral celebrated by the Papal Legate and a sermon by Cardinal Gibbons. Snosldered fcy the Caa-fews.

When the congregation poured out. of the edifice they found that the crowd was already assembling. Large forces of police were assisted by some 15,000 Catholics, who had volunteered to Use the route, but this strong army of men was unable at times to prevent the participants tn the parade from being shouldered by the curious. Before the procession started vespers were sung within the Cathedral, at the con elusion of which the prelates passed down the nave, sing-lng Faith of Our Fathers," which was taken up by the congregation and the vast crowds without. As the head of the procession emerged from the Cathedra doors a cheer went up, which waa repeated as Cardinal after Cardinal came slowly out.

Das-kill was the engineer of the train, and he and his fireman, McDin. are the mosfi seriously injured, both of them being scalded badly. They were both pinned under the engine. It la believed that the carrying of a horse car next to the locomotive saved the lives of half a hundred people on the train. It was one of the road's horse-cars and was badly needed in Jersey City.

It was placed next to the locomotive when the train pulled out of Chicago. Next to this car was the combination car in which moat of those injured were seated and asleep at 1:42, when the accident happened. The heavy vestlbuled cars were back of thls. 'When the engine struck the btrndTswitch the horse car was crushed like an egg shell and served as a bumper to save the rest of the train. The combination car telescoped and came over the top of the crushed car, resting at an angle of 43 degrees.

There were about 100 passengers In the cars back, and they came rushing out as fast as they could to render assistance to those In the wrecked car from which came screams of pain and terror. Among the first rescued were Engineer Daskiil and Fireman McDill. Chief Dispatcher Mansfield "of the division was on the train and made good time In getting a special train from Mead-vino to Geneva, where the accident occurred. Tbe special, with more than a score of the injured, reached MeadvUle about 3 A. Engineer Dasklll said tonight: I was-making up time, being forty minutes late, when without a warning we swerved Into the blind switch.

am certain there was no danger signal showing, for both McDill and myself were on the lookout, owing1 to our speed. I felt the swerve, cut. off the steam, and threw on the air Just as we went over. I can't say that the switch was fixed, but there was no light showing." SAVED BY THE ENGINEER. His Quick Eye Averted Bad Accident to Pennsylvania Train.

TRENTON, N. Sept. 13. It has Just got out through a report to the State Railroad Commission that those on the Pennsylvania Railroad train which left Jersey City at 6:13 o'clock last Friday had a narrow escape from death near this city when the engineer of the train saw that a pile of lumber had shifted on a freight ear which was in the middle of a train running alongside. The engineer rut en the emergency brakes so hard that everybody In the train was thrown te the floor ef the 'cars.

13. The die-, gruntled bosses who' are struggling to keep out of the political graves Into which the nomination of Gov. Hughes would plunge them are in a desperate mood tc-nlgbt, claiming that they have votes enough to win on the convention floor, but when they are asked for figures they dodge the question. Of their determination to beat the Governor there can be no doubt, and they are frank enough to admit that they are willing to resort to any means te accomplish that end. but a most careful survey of tbe situation by leaders who are holding" aloof from the fight seems to Justify their conclusion that Gov.

Hughes' will be renominated on the first Ceaftreaae wit a OdelL A' A conference attended by ex-Gov. Black. ex-Gov. OdaH, Timothy Woodruff. Will- lam Barnes, William La Ward, and Congressman Llttauer broke up at a late 1 hour Ex-Gov.

Odell said that tt had accomplished nothing. -Mr. Black Insists that Hughes must and will be renominated, he said. Som of the others were equsDy Insist. ent that he must not and would not be.

No agreement was reached en any line." Ex-Gov. Black would snake' no" meet. What the triers did ssy coincided wua wnat sir. Odell had said. Secretary of State Root, who win ere- side over the Convention came Up this evening, but those who expected to see him put the big stick into action were disappointed.

If he brought it with him he kept it very carefully concealed. How- ever, Mr. Root Is not a man vht around with a brass band. Hs had an hour's talk, with "Tim Woodruff aad William Barnes, during which he did most or the talking, aad tbey most of the and then he began sending for other antf-Hughes leaders. His talks have so far.

however, had the effect of stopping the boasting of the anti-Hughes men that they can-' defeat the renomlnatlon. On the contrary. they put In circulation late to-night a report that President Roosevelt Is willing 1 that Congressman William 8. Bcnnet -should be nominated If Gov. Hughes can- not De.

They sought to eonvey the lm- presslon that Secretary Rest had brought uua message. The circulation of the re. port was a political trick. Roosevelt Still for Hsaaee. In connection with the rumors enly circulated to-night by the antl- Hughes bosses that President Roosevelt was only lukewarm la his advocacy of Gov.

Hughes's renomlnatlon aad would 1 regard complacently the nomination of another man more acceptable to the State macnine. Congressman Cocks of Oyster Bay said: Tou can state as emphatically as yea wish that the President is heartily la favor of Gov. Hughes, as.he has always been. If It is neceesaqr te get a message direct rrom oyster Bay to this effect it can be done, but do not believe that tt will be necessary. It Is a good thing to let all those who are bitter agrainst Hughes talk themselves out.

It will clear the air." Secretary Root" after spending two-hours about tbe lobby talking to soma of the leaders and personal friends, was asked about 11 o'clock what he had to say regarding the opposition te tbe renomlnatlon of Gov. Hughes. There seems to be a good deal ef oa. said Mr. Root, Do you regard it as serious? Well, there Is a great deal of eppoet.

tlon serious opposition, and It Is la the hands of very skillful man." Do you think there is any chance of this opposition being sufficiently strong to prevent the ranomioaaoa of the Governor? -That say- -J. Weeds WateTetaug. Sara Ceeka, Mr. Root declared that be bad seen several of 'the leaders, but he -could not tell whether there would be any further conferences during; the night. At that time be had not seen ex-Gov.

Congressman Cocks of Long Island was pacing about the piaxsas about 10 o'clock, and the report like wildfire that be was to receive a telephone message from the President st Oyster Bay, Ths Congressman wa: asked after he went to the "phone whether the message was from the President, and he iaagbmgly declared that It was not. He was the a asked his view of the sitaatlon. trouble has he said, "that the Hughes end of things has not been properly attended to. I will not say that the situation Is dangerous, but tt will bear watching.

There has been no one here looking- out for the Governor's Interest particularly, aad seme of the ers bare taken advantage of that act. Now that the delegates are arriving these men ere get tlx at them, aad some of the delegates that were for Hughes ere wavering. However, as said. doe't think the sltoatioe to a dangerous one.
