I am frank to say I had not seen and have not yet seen such denial, but I accept your statement in good faith and express regret that 1 should have quoted you. I am sincerely sorry for any ‘implied misrepresentation of you or any candidate, even though the error was wholly unintentional. “This does not in any way abate my opinion of the policy of your adminis- tration in dealing with Haiti and San Domingo, but I do want to express re- gret for the quotation of a statement you disavow. Because I am devoted to truth and courtesy I am asking the news associations and newspaper corres- pondents to carry this telegram as con- spicuously as they did the quotation.” At the front porch meeting address- ed by.Lillian Russell, who now is Mrs. Alexander P, Moore of Pittsblirgh, Sen- ator Harding made only a short talk Introducing the speaker and praising her brterest in politics.
