Yet you clearly imply that he j and has been improperly influenced by the the fact of theso contributions hav ing been made. Do you consider such an implication either .straight forward or sincere? Quotes Letter to Cortclyou In a letter to the chairman of my campaign committee on October 26, 1904, I specifically approved of the conditions under which tho national committee were accepting contribu tions, saying that their acceptance was to be "with the explicit under standing that they were given and received with no thought of any more obligation on the part of the na tional committee or of tho national administration than Is Implied in the statement that every man Bhall re ceive a square deal, no more and no less, and that this I shall guarantee him in any event, to the best of my ability." If they subscribe for the purpose of securing- such naiional welfare, and with no thought of per sonal favors to them, why they are acting as is entirely proper. I con tinued, "In returning tho money to them (any c6ntributors), I wish It made clear that there 1b not the slightest personal feeling against them, and that they can count upon being treated exactly as well by the administration, exactly as fairly as if we had accepted the contributions. They shall not suffer in any way be cause we refused them, just as they 13,000,000 Dyspeptics - Live in the United States and Canada Suffering Terribly Every Meal A rough estimate gives the enor mous total above as the number of people wjio suffer in America from. Dysp6psia. .Add to this those who suffer occasional stomach trouble and you have the field which lies open for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These wonderful little digesters are the most popular dyspepsia rem edy sold in Canada and America. Why? There must be merit to them or they would pot or could not be distancing all competitors. Ask any druggist to tell you of their popularity. They will assist nature in digest ing a meal no matter what the con dition of tho stomach. They are prepared scientifically and are made powerful so that nature restores the lost Ingredients with which she man ufactures her digestive fluids. They soothe the tired and irritat ed nerves of the Btomach. They pre vent and relievo constipation and bowel trouble. If you want to eat a dangerous meal at late hours take a tablet with you and fear no evil consequences or make up your mind that Stuart's Dvspepsia Tablets will reduce the ill effects of over eating. They are made up from fruit and vegetable essences and their tablet form of preparation preserves these qualities longer than fluid or powder modes of administering the same es sences. They have been tried for years and found to be not wanting. You don't buy a new thing In Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets, you purchase a remedy for stomach trouble that has a record for cures by the thousand. Ask the druggist, then give him 50c for a Paokago of Stuart's Dyspepsia, Tab Jets, or send us your -name and ad dress and we will send you a trial n'kage "by rnail free. - Address F.

No mem ber of the national committee has ever .directly or indirectly sugges4 ed to mo that I should either do or leave undono anything whatever l s causo any one has contributed or had failed to contribute. Doubts Cram's Sincerity Theso are tho facts. Now for your proposal. You have yourself fur nished its condemnation. You havo quoted the subscriptions furnished to Governor Hughes aB giving reasons to distrust Governor Hughes' atti tude toward corporations, and I am obliged to say that this can not be sincere on your part, for you know well .what the governor's attitude has been throughout his term. You quote the subscription of Mr. Harrl man to my campaign, although you knew well that it did not interfere with any action taken by "me as against Mr. Hariman, and ask if it would not have affected the campaign if known. Thereby you have fur nished an excellent reason for refus ing to meet your proposal, for you make At evident that to adopt your proposal would give to every man who cared merely for partisan suc cess the chance, by precisely the arg ument you have now made, to create to more purpose the false Impression that you are now seeking to create. Mr. Taft's reputation, Mr. Taft's acts on the bench and in the executive service show that he could not be swayed in any shape or way by any consideration save, tho public Interest and that the fact of. any man's con tributing or failing, to contribute would in any way influence my ac tion, riny more than it' has influenced my action, or the action 'of Governor Hughes. I emphatically approve of the publication of campaign expenses after the election, whether 'provided by law or not. You have shown by this letter of yours that if the con tributions to Mr Hughes' campaign fund had been made public before election you and those who act with vou would have striven' to give the faTse Impression that Mr. Hughes was unfit to bo trusted with the position of governor, and you have showri by this letter of yours tltat if Mr. Har riman's contribution to the campaign fund of 1904 fahd incidentals f may mention that T am Informed that this particular contribution was not used for tho national campaign, but In the New York state campaign), had been known before the election, vou and your supporters would have mdeavorod to use the .fact of its having been made as an insincere nnd untruthful argument to show that T could not be trusted to deal out exact justice to Mr. Harriman. No stronger argument against your proposition has yet been advanced than this that you have thus uncon sciously advanced. (Here follows the references to Governor Haskell.) T believe in radical reform; and the movement for such reform can be successful if It frowns on the demagogue as it does on the corrup tionist; if it shows itself as far re moved from government by a mob as from government by a plutocracy. Of all corruption the most far-reaching for evil is that which bides Itself behind the mask of furious dem agogy, seeking to arouse arid to pan der to the basest passions of man kind. No better exemplification of this type of corruption could be found than in the case of Mr. Has kell. You shave uttered no word of con demnation of Hadkellism, as we thus see it. That you consciously sought to bring it about, I do not believe. Tbt it wa-s the natural result of tho effort to apply in practice your teach ings I have no question. Yours truly, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
