. Awhile ago the president butted in
to the state campaign la Connecticut,
by, writing a letter tb . Representa
tive Lilley, Republican candidate for
governor, fulsomely Indorsing him
and hoping for his .election. -The
letter was of course ' Intended for
Lllley's nse In the campaign, and was
so used, but now the president, or
some one on his behalf, says his let
ter, as published by- Lilley, was-
"garbled," was not Just what Roose
velt wrote. - Perhaps tbe fact is that
ft does not read and sound quite so
well In cold print as It seemed to hot

Interference will probably be beaten.
