PRESIDENT
INVITES
- HERMANN
Who wili Ride With Chief Exr
ecutive From Salem
to Portland
Portland. Mny 20. President llooso-
vclt has Invited lllugor Honnnnn, lie
publican candidate for congress In tho
first district, to ride with him from
Salem to Portland. Tho Invitation Is
evidence eonrtusivn that tho President
wishes Honnnnn to bo elected. The
letter Is as follews:
"To Hon. Dinger Hermann. MeMlnn
vlllo. Or.:
"Tho President will bo pleased to
have you Join his train at Hnlem, and
ride with him to Portland.
"VM. I.HOlJ, JH.,
"Beorvtnry to tho " President."
Fallowing upon tho announcement
of the- President, as published by tho
Oregonlan last week, this letter bears
out that: "There Is not nno word of
truth In Uio rumor that I am opposed
to Mr. Hermann's election; but, on tho
contrary, I heartily and earnestly do
sire his election. I hopo that every
voter who believes lu tho principles
of tho party, and wishes well for thn
administration, wilt cast his vote for
Mr. Hermann. Tho rumored quarrel
between Mr. Hermann and myself Is
without foundnUon. Our relations are
and hnvo always been very cordial."
That announcement was vory dis
concerting to tho Democrats (if tho
district) This lottor will ho doubly
so. They honed to prove that tho
President had never said tho words
ascribed to him. Tho lettor will ills-
slpato tho hopo Into thin air, and the
Democrats will havo to ngtil meir uai
tie on iolitlcal Issues. The President,
of course, feels obliged to help out a
Republican candldat'o for a national
offlee. This duty ho owes to the mt
tlonal party, and to shun it might
cause him embarrassment.
