Letter Is Denied. The letter follows. "June 11, 1011. "M" Dear Mr. Van Vnlkenburg: I nm really obliged to you. Now will you not give Mr. McCIatchio .of the Sneramento Bee) from me n copy of this letter and uUo hend a copy to Mr. Frank Noyes, president of the Associated Press! McClatehy states that Noyes informed him, anent a story the Associated Press sent out, that 'Mr. Roosevelt pledged himself to support Mr. Taft for a second term,' that he (Noyes) had the samo information from sources entirely in dependent of thoso from which tho Associated Press received tho story. "Noyes states that he understood I did so express myself to n member of the cabinet and also to on insurgent senator, and says he believes that President Taft thinks ho has assur ances of my support. Noyes ndds thnt he explains my denial on tho theory that I had explained my ntti tude confidentially and felt entitled to deny it when published. Xoyes Is .Mlslnforjncd. "Will you tell McClatehy and Noyes for me (or end them this let ter) that Noyes is absolutely and completely misinformed, nnd th.it there is not a particle of truth in the statements made to him nnd thus rc lontrd to McClatehy? The ouly member of the cabinet to who I havo recently spoken are Moycr and Stiio con. The former w rote me, and later informed me, verbally, which I al ready knew, that neither had made any such statement to Mr. Taft or anyone cNo, and that both understood clearly that I wim not going to sup port any man for tho nomination in 1012, neither Taft nor anyone else The insurgent senator, of whom Noyes speaks, is as wholly mythical n character as the cabinet member ot whom ho speaks. He cannot namo the insurgent senator, nor find it out, for bo will find his informant cannot givo it. I mado no such statement to any human being. Di'lllK'iato Inventions. "Tho simple fact is, these stories are not niiMindorstandings; they aro deliberate inventions. Noyes is en tirely in error in thinking that Taft thinks he has assurances of my sup port. Taft thinks nothing of tho kind, lie knows ho has no assur ance of my btipport, and neither Noyes nor anyone olso has tho least purticule of ground for tho opinion thus expressed. "I first thought tho story was given out from the Whito House, but I am now nssured thtit it was gotten up ami given out by tho Associated Press representatives at tho White Houso; from Noyes statement I should gather that this is true, I wish Noyes, as president of tho Asso ciated Prcbs, to know that tho story was not a misunderstanding and wun not based on misinformation, but was a deliberate invention, made out of tho whole cloth and without a purtiede of basis boyond the imagination of tho man writing it." w jreodprj' .Ro'sevm't to Edit .mi, niK.yjnfgOt tue I'liiiniicipi North ArtiefiL'ii-T, which in prin a
