Mlneola, N. T.. March e. 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."

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. :

BEGIN DISMANTLING
OLD JAIL BUILDING
Actual work of exporting the books
and record of the county court and
commissioners, was begun this morning
by J. M. Wllley who Is working under
the direction of a committee consisting
of A A. Cunningham, A. F. Miller and
C W. Hodson. This committee was ap
pointed by Governor West at tha re
quest of the county court after consid
erable criticism had been made over the
way the court t ran acts county business.
The expert -accountant spent the fore
noon in familiarising himself with the
laws governing the county court and
commissioners. This afternoon work of
delving into the record and system
used by the office will begin. 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.
"Whereas, pursuant to the Investi
gation, the governor of the state has
appointed A. A. Cunningham, A. F. Mil
ler and Cv w. Hodson to supervise the
investigation Into the financial affairs
of the oounty court, and has named J. M.
Wllley as an expert to act under the di
rection of the oommitterit is therefore
hereby ordered that J. M. Wllley, the
expert, I hereby employed for the pur
pose, and hi compensation la fixed at
$16 a day, and that free access to all
necessary files, records and document
be accorded him, and the prosecution
of this work be done completely and
thoroughly and to such anextent as tn
the' Judgment of thi committee la nec
essary In the premises In Justice, to all
concerned." ---r- rW..;-------,-.-The
scope of the Investigation will
cover all point which have been criti
cised, and extend Into the past records
as far as the committee considers advis
able. The conimtttee was assured that
witnesses would be called, If such ,4s
desired. v "
. . Xiold to Enmity. '
. Should any discovery be made by the
accountant of any corrupt practice .that
would lead Into another county office,
this trail is to be followed until the
matter is clered. T
Judge Cleeton explained to the com
mittee the reason for much of the crit
lclsm, a he viewed It, In which he said
that a certain newspaper was not given
the tax roll to prtnt This act on the
part or th" COuhty court engendered the
enmity of the newspaper management,
and a threat was then made; that the
county court would regret its action.
From that time, said the Judge, the crit
icism has existed from this publication.
One of the chief , criticisms made
about the county commissioners is the
failure to keep records of their acts, anl
tne unnusinesa like way In which much
oi we county business is traniaoted.
