ALDRICH FOR ROOSEVELT
Governor Issues Formal Statement Oc
fining Stand In Campaign.
Lincoln, July 1.--Governor Aldrich
railed in the newspaper men and ia
sued to them a statement, saying that
hereafter no newspaper men would be
abie to get anything out of him public
ly, unless it Is made In writing nnd
bears Mr signature. He said:
"So ninny garbled nccounts and mis
statements have been given current re
port SCncetnlttg my attitude toward
proprcBF.ive Itepuhltcnnlfim as under
the tofcdershiti of Theodore Roosevelt,
that 1 deem it advisable to correst
thes" enors.
"In the fir-t place, nn Interview that
I gave out mnny months ago found its
way Into the eastern papers, nnd was
brought to the notice of Coionel Rooso
volt, ft wrote mo a letter concerning
the matter, and from thrt time on I
have been Intimately connected In Ne
braska and outside the state, using
whatever effort I cou'd to bring about
the ecndirlacy, in the first place, and
th nomination afterwards, of Colonel
Roosevelt. In my opinion he was the
only logical man to bo nominated by
the Republican party at Chicago, and
nt this national convention Theodore
Ro .sevelt was the eh i;ce of the Re
publicans of Nebraska and a majority
of the legally elected delegates to that
convention, nnd is at the preaent time.
"I nm the nomlnro nt the hands of
the Republican party of Nebraska for
re-election to the position of governor
of this state T propose to make my
fight as a progressive Republican o:i
mv record as a governor for the last
two years I nm nnnlterably in favor
of and Indorse the stand of OolOQel
Roosove't on the great Issues now
confronting the American people. It
ought to be unnecessary for me to say
this, but it seems that misunderstand
ings arc more entchy than the truth,
Colonel Roosevelt's stand is eternally
tight, nnd It is based upon the funda
irentnl doctrines of equity nnd justice,
r.nd la indo--?ed by the overwhelming
majority not only of the Republican
petty, but of people everywhere. I
was In fnvor of him before the con
vention, being one of the seven gov
ernors to induce him to become a can
clalnte, and I am for him still."
