Declaring that be tu drawn reluctantly Into the contest for the Republican presidential nomination through a sense of .fluty to the people as a whole and not through persona! Interest, Colonel Roosevelt to day replied to the statement of Secre tary of War Stimson at Chicago that those who had forced Roosevelt Into the political arena were jeopardlalng Instead of helping the nation' prog ress." , ' i "Stlmson's statement" said Colonel Roosevelt, "is correct only In the sense that It would be correct to make the same statement regarding my advocacy of Stlmson's candidacy for governor of New York In 1910. That contest, as this one, I was extremely reluctant to be drawn Into. In that contest, as in this, I acted only from a sense of my duty to the people as a whole; In that contest I was assailed with precisely the same arguments by a majority of those how assailing If I had con sidered only my- personal Interests and preferences I would Of course have kept out of the 1910 campaign." Colonel Roosevelt Insisted that Btlm. eon owes him no debt of gratitude for his support lit 1910. Continuing, Colo nel Roosevelt said: "Which side Is demanding and which side is opposing the' presidential pri maries? The machine leaders who completely somersaulted regarding the president during the past four years are managing the campaign against me. If they were deliberately trying to wreck the Republican party they would follow the precise tactic they have been fol lowing, making it seem that they had rather see the party defeated than have it restpred to what It was under Abra ham Lincoln's administration. "If in the open primaries and without coercion, irauu or mo prcnuura ui pat ronage, the plain people of the Repub. lican party declare they don't want me nominated, then I assuredly don't wish the nomination. If the primaries show that' they wish me I will accept the nomination and strive to serve the peo ple to the best of my power." Explains Reason for tetter. -r ' (Cnltrd Preas !M Wire.) . Sacramento, CaL, March 6. V. S. Me Clatchy said today regarding Van Val kenburg's statement: ' "The letter from colonel Roosevelt to Mr. Van Valkenburg which has been pub lished was written In the course of an Inquiry instigated by myself,, as a di rector of the Associated Press, as to the correctness of a certain statement sent ' out by the Associated Press from Wash ington in the early part of June, 1911, and which declared, on authority, that President Taft had received assurances from Colonel Roosevelt of the tatter's support for renominatlon as president in 1912. "Colonel Roosevelt denied the cor rectness of this statement, and a sub sequent investigation demonstrated tg the satisfaction of the management of the Associated Press, that, while-such a statement had been made by a very high authority to the Washington cor respondent, u naa not, in iaci, oeen jus tified by statements or assurances actu ally giycn by Colonel Roosevelt. The colonel had declared, in effect, that he himself was not a candidate for the nomination and it was assumed, with apparent justice, that he would support Mr.Taft for election in the event of the tatter's nomination and from these two things, good friends of Mr. Taft had assumed a state of mind on the part of Colonel Roosevelt which was not Jus tided, and had given them. through the Associated Press." v V. : ACTRESS DIAf.lO Ml STOLE Jewels Said to Be Valued at $10,000 Missing Police . - Are Notified. .

Upon the request of the committee yesterday af ternoon, the following order wa au thorized by - the county court to be spread upon the commissioners' Journal: Put In Journal. "Whereas. 1 certain charges have been made by the press of the city and oth ers, and the county court has requested an investigation into the financial af fairs of the county; and.
