Desires His Election
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
ENDORSES HERMANN
Says There Has Been no Quarrel
and Their Relations are
Cordial
(Oregonlan)
Dr. T. 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.
