The threat that they might pull art has been forefended by a full ex planation on one side and an unre served acceptance on the other. The President made It plain In a let ter (Iren out here today by Lloyd C. Ortarom, chairman of the New York Itepubllran county committee, how the misunderstanding arose. He explained that he never took any part In a com mittee cabal to defeat Colonel Roose velt for temporary chairman of the com Ins: Republican state convention. On the contrary, he explicitly de plores the result of the committee meeting which chose Vlce-iTesldent Sherman; be rebukes the party leaders who have permitted It to tro abroad on contradicted that the President of the United States was behind their fac tional preference; he insists that at every opportunity he advised the full est conference with Roosevelt, and he explains he has been pained by the "columns of unfounded stories in news papers concerning my attitude In re spect to the New Tork situation."

Colonel Roosevelt, when he read President Taff letter, as com municated to him at Oyster Bay, said: "I am very glad to see President Taft'a letter and am pleased with It. The President's letter comes In reply to Mr. Griseom's blunt assertion by telegraph that the "absence of any authoritative Information as to your attitude Is seriously mislead Ins; many Republicans."

Grlsrom Spares Not Schemers. Tt-e President's letter throughout Is temperate, slthough positive. Mr. Oris, com in his comment on It was much more outspoken, lie did not hesitate to charge that the Republican ormtn tzarmn of the stste had played politics with the President's name and had misrepresented his attitude. He as serted In so many words that "some if the "eld guard' are not seeking Re publican success at the coming elec tion; they wlh to perpetuate their control of the Republican organiza tion at any coat to the party." And he goes on to partioulartse that in such event they would nave been glad to unload defeat on the shoulders of the President, on the ground that he had Ignored the policies of Hughes and snubbed Theodore Roosevelt, the very man whom they had consistently opposed at every turn, lastly, he charges that In the last two legisla tures there had been a disgraceful al liance between "Tammany Hall and some of the "old guard' leaders." Colonel Roosevelt. In l.ls statement given out at Oyster Ray, explains hat bad been the course of his nego tiations with the organization anil how. after his successive rehuff.". he had felt that further overtures could not consistently come from linn.

BIG MEN FIGHTING FOBPOUTIGHLUFE Fall' Campaign to Be Bitter Struggle. NATIONAL ISSUES INYOLYED Pacific Coast States Will Fig ure Prominently. NEW YORK STORM CENTER Never In Congressional Year Have So Many Prominent Men Talfrn Tart Leaders of Factions to Participate In Person. BT RARRT J. BROWN. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 22. The political cam paign this Fall promises to be remark ably vigorous. This may not be true In all states, but In the big political centers the struggle will be bitter and hard-fought. In New York, Ohio. Illinois, Indiana. Wisconsin. Iowa and some of the other big states things have begun--to hum at tills early day, and there Is every Indica tion that the warring parties and opposing factions within the parties in those states nlll clash violently when the fight opens In earnest. Though of less National Interest, all three of the Pacific Coast states will figure prominently In the campaign this year, as will Minnesota, Nebraska, Kan- . Missouri and less Important states. The campaign In many of these states will center around the United States Senatorshlps; in others it will center on the Governor, or on some member or members of Congress. Everywhere, how ever. National issues will be Involved to a greater or leea degree, and the outcome of the campaign this year will have its effect upon the National campaign which Is to follow In two yearsi Prominent Men Involved. Never. In a Congressional year, have so many prominent men been actively in volved in the campaign as this year. Some are struggling for their own political pres- ervstlon; others are working for the cause to which they are committed, though they themselves have nothing directly at slake. , But the very fact that the blggen men of both parties and the leaders of all factions are preparing personally to participate In the cam paign la ample assurance that apathy will be conspicuous generally by Its absence. A month ago Ohio promised to' be the storm renter this Kail; now New York Is bidding for the limelight. The. failure of the Republican factions of the latter state to harmonize their differences, and the fact that the old line bosses have thrown down the gauntlet and hurled defiance at Theodore Roosevelt and the reform element is enough to guarantee a lively scrap in the Republi can state convention, and In the cam paign that follows. New York Campaign Heated. The very fact that the ex-President has become a factor and haa suffered pre liminary defeat at the hands of the ma chine guarantees a great display of poli tical pyrotechnics In New York, for no one knowing Roosevelt will believe for a minute that he will accept defeat at Concluded on Page 3.)
