New York, March 5.—To clear up| couflicting statements as to what he had said in the past in regard to the! presidential nomination, Colonel Roose- | velt today made public a letter which | Ye wrote last January to JFrank A. Muneey, the publisher. Colonel Roose- velt's object In giving out the cont= | munication, ke said, was to refute the charge that he was breaking a.promise | in agreeing to accept the nominatlon it it were offered to him. He:called particular attention to a passage in the | letter in whicdh, while stating that he would not be a candidate, he declared that he would not go on record as be- tng unwilling to. accept the ‘nomina- | tion. ‘ . Among other things the ex-presldont! said > 5 “What T have sald to you, and am| about to say to yom, I have, for in- | stance, said not only to other friends | the Fourth Alabama congressional dis- | (and even foes) who think I ought not | 40 he nominated, provided only 1 could | trust their sincerity, intelligence and | truthfu . 1 am not and shall not| be a candidate.

But' I will not tie. my hands a statement such as would make it | diffiey impossible for me to serve, he p by undertaking a great task | ¢ {he people a8 a whole seemed def- jnitely to come to the conclusion that I ought to do that task. In other words, os far as in me lies the power, I am} endeavoring to look at this matter purely from the standpoint of the pub- lic interest, of the interest of the peo- . as a whole, and not in the least' 1 no circumstances run. “I shall not follow this course, be- cause 1 am sincerely endeavoring to look at the matter only from the standpoint of the popular interest. “If at this particular crisis, with the i particular problems ahead of us at this particular time, the people feel that 1 am the one man in sight to de the job, then I would regard myself as shirking a plain duty if I refused to do it. What I am interested in, re- member, is not in the least holding the office, but doing a job that ctually worth doing; this is the p to the best of my belief I have alw taken, and always shall t people should feel that T strument to be used at this time, I should accept, even though 1 know thatI should be broken and cast aside in the using. I am not concerned with welfare of any one man in this matter, not with Mr. Taft's welfare, nor Mr. La Follette's, and least of all w own; I am concerned only with the welfare of the people of the TUnited States, “Under these circumstances I must not put myself in a position which would lock as if I were seeking the the in- office, as if I were trying to get it for | my own sake. I know well that this means in all probabillty some one else will be nominated and elected; for where others actively seek the nom- inatfon, their frlends, as {s natural, actively work for them, and give the skilful direction and leadership with- out which even a strongly aroused public opinion generally fails to find | expression Therefors, I have all along feit that even if there should be a strong popular demand for me (as to which I can pass no judgment), yet that unless this demand were literally overwhelming it could hardly make it- self effective, But it seems tb me that it is better that it should not make | cffective rather than that by any act- | Many officers of the army and promi- ion of mine I should make it seem that 1 desire the presidency for my own saké, -or am: willing to accept it un- | less it comes to me as the result of a real popular movement, giving expres- sion to-n demand that I should under- take @ given task in the interest of the people as a whole.” Texas Republicans for Roosevelt.
