Colonel Roosevelt's visit to the coast has not been filled with as! much enthusiasm as the Colonel him-1 self might have liked. The Roose- velt of today is a different man from ! the Roosevelt that the people so much j admired a few years ago. He Is j Quick tempered, hard to please and i weighted down with hiB own idea of; hia greatness and Importance aj state of mind which is not shared by' so many people now as formerly. I In Portland the other day Roose- tor president after the alleged col lapse of Senator LaFoliette in Phila delphia, but you know that you sent the letter which 1 wrote you to the seven governors in Chicago, who bad opened headquarters for you prior to this collaise. and I received a letter from your headquarters there ask ing me to come to Chicago to confer with them and take charg eof your campaign there, showing that you Were at that time seeking to under mine LaFoliette, and that the alleged collapse of the senator was merely a pretext on your part to pet Into the game. Your people have my letter, in which I said that I had pledged my word to Senator LaFoliette, and that I had an unfortunate habit of keeping my word, which you may know, as 1 refused to play your game, either then or at the convention. I also have your lettpr, which Is marked confidential and not for publication, in which you profess to know these things, so It comes with very bad grace from you to speak of anybody being a traitor. Another Mead Mil. who stood between you and your ambition. I must modify this in a way by asying that you never have hesitated to openly do so except in one instance, viz., you have never, with all your boasted courage, dared to openly assail Robert LaFoliette, as lie is the one man Id the United States of whom you are in deadly fear. j "Itooze Is Illumed, j 1 gave you credit for being too adroit a politician to attack me, as in this state I hare the great honor ; to represent that Incomparable; statesman, Hon. Robert M. LaFoll- ette, and you no doubt know that he has many followers here, but I fear you have been ill-advised, and your esteemed friend. Dr. Coe. got you in ! wrong, or Is It possible that there Is; some truth in the rumor that you j have been hitting the booze too heav- ily and nave lost your political cun- j nlng? j I assure you that It will have the1 very opposite effect, for I will be elected and you will not carry Ore gon. Notwithstanding that at one time you were the popular idol, and I myself placed you on a pedestal above the ordinary human being, but we have seen the cloven hoof, and, strange as It may seem have noticed I am a candidate for congress from velt flew iuto a storming rage be-, this district, and, while you did not cause Bomeoue had misplaced a book speak of my opponent openly, you that he wanted. Also he took offense j ma(j tne attack on me, as the gentle at some action Of the committee and; man in niipntion has been onenlv ad- refused to dine at. the hotel and In- : vocating your election, nolwithstand-! b? the lack of cheers when you pass stead he went down to his private ug he was opposed to 'you In the pri- ed a,on our streets.

M'Cus-j tlble attack on me would crush me services of an Interpreter to get the j ker came right back at him with ajout of existence, as it is well known ; meaning of my letter, and further, j few truths that may make the Col- j that von have never hesitated to bes- that should you ever return again to i onel take back his alleged liking for Oregon and Its free-speaking citizens. M'Cusker's letter Is a gem of Its kind and we deem it of more than passing Importance and therefore publish It In full. The letter follows: Venerable sir: My attention has just been called to the scurrilous at tack you made on me at the Mult nomah hotel today. Neither myself nor the cltlzesn of Portland are sur prised at this, however, for the reas on that you have been so busy de fending yourself and explaining things lately that it la possible you are not accountable for your actions. Some are so; charitable as to say that you are crazy, while others who are more or less lenient say that you have been drinking to excess, and that these outbursts are merely the result of a disordered liver. If I were not a jientlomau, I might reply to you In kind, but I do not care to put myself In your class, so refrain. Vh and Mrllurg Attacked. .You say that I voted to seat 90 crooks, when, as a matter of fact, you abandoned all but 72 out of 258 contests, and your credentials com mittee voted with the national com mittee In a majority of the cases left, showing that you deliberately tried to steal the convention for yourself. Bneaklng of crooks, I know of no man who surrounds himself with more of them than you do. Vour friend, Dr. Coe. who Induced you to make this attack on me. has an un enviable reputation here, and Ormsby : Mcllarg, another of your friends, i four years ago attempted to corrupt' our legislature and Induce our rep resentatives to violate their olillga-'. tlons to the people, and have them defeat the Oregon system, which you i claim to admire, and this nlso dur- Ing the time that you were president. And while you may not be responsible i for Mcllarg's arts. In the light of re-i cent events many of us have our sus picions. , Mot 'tinker Says Mo Voted Right. If your standing In Oregon Is to be' gauged by the men leading your cause, I feel roiilldent there will he no electors Instructed for you. Speak ing of that J ml n n kiss nnd It was more dlstaste'iit ti me tlmn It was to you and your statement that I voted for you, after you had nuked the delegates Instructed fur you not to do so, I desire to say that I voted In airorilmre with the Instruction of the people of Oregon, and that I do not consider that our instructions take precedence over them, as you are not yet thy dictator of this or any other state. 1 did not vole Tor Mcflovern. for the reason that you abandoned Ilorah, who was vour can didate for temporary chairman, pur posoly to discredit LaFoliette and pervont his nomination by the con vention. I was not sent to the con vention by Roosevelt supporters, hut by LaFoliette votes S2.000 of our cltlsens having voted for him sml t certainly would hare been a J n .! -had I listened to you and assisted you to discredit him. I Ydur people, trlod to have tnc bolt ' the convention and offered all kind or inducements to nave me do so. which from your point of view no doubt la honorable and at one of the meetings of tho delegates In the Con gress hotel, advocated this and would have done so except that you were prevented by Borah.
