W. Harris, chairman of ho Republican Congressional Comtnitco of tho First district, has received trom Senator John H. Mitchell a copy of a letter which the Sonator has received from Hon, Thomas II. Carter, president of the National Louisiana Purchase Ex position Commlsflon, which proves conclusively that President Roosevelt is favorab!o to Binger Hermann is election to Congress. The letter is as folio we: "Bt. Louis, Mo., May 2. Hon, John JJ. Mitchell, Washington, J). O. My dear Senator: Plcieo pardon delay in answering your esteomeel favor oi recent date from New York. I had hoped to ceo mora of you and to be able to give an answer to a portion of your letter through a personal interview before your doparturo from St, Louis, but I learned tonight that yon had loft the city and, therefore, tho privilege of a mooting was denied. "I am gratified to know that your health is improving, and it is needlcts to say that, in common with' those who know you the best, I indulgo the hope that yon msyere long be restored to tho robust physical condition which was the envy oi all many years ago. "In regard to the candidacy for Con gress oi Hon. Binger Hermann,'to which you refer, permit mo to say, that I made it a special po'nt to ask President Roose velt direct what his attitudo was in regard to Mr. Hermann. I had no doubt, to begin with, as to his reply, but since, according to your suggestion, persons resisting the election of Mr. Hermann bad suggested that his candi dacy was regarded with disfavor by tho President, I felt constrained to secure for you, as Mr. Hermann's friend, direct information from headquarters. In his uiunl frank and foicefnl manner, the President PBod, as near as I can recall tho following language, to-wit: " 'Thero is not ono word of truth in the rumor that I am opposed to Mr. Hermann'a election; I heartily and earnestly deiiro his election, I hope that every yoter who believes in the piinciplos ol the party, and wishes well for tho abministration will cast his vote ior Mr. Hermann. The rumored quar rel between Mr. Hermann and myself is without foundation. Our relations are and always have been cordial.' The foregoing is substantially, if not actually, the language of the President. 1 do uot apprehend, my dear Senator, .t t ni.Vi:..n llt !, .1-..!!..i u.. that any Republican will bo deceived by designing rumors set afloat by the oppo sition to tho administration for the pur pose of bringing about the defeat of our party candidate. Hon. Binger Hermann is too well known to the people of Ore gon as an earnest, honest, faltbfnl pub lic sorvant to warrant the belief that any Idle campaign rumor could encom pass his defeat by Republican votes. "My understanding ia that a distinct issue arose between Mr. Hermann and Socrotary Hitchcock involving the policy of the General Land Office, as adminis tered by Mr Hermann. Mr. Hermann took the broad, liberal Western idea of tho administration of the land laws as his guide, while Mr. Hitchcock, with equal honesty, adopted a moro rigid policy than that which baa heretofore obtained in tho administration of the land laws under Republican Administra tions. As Commissioner of the General Land Office, Mr. Hermann could not yield his convictions to tho Secretary, and therefore, in a manly faehlon, re signed his position. This course of con duct was creditable to Mr. Hermann, and the tenacious adherence of the Sec- rotary of" the Interior to his own views of Republic land policy must be regard- ed as crsditablo to him.
