at all times In democratic papers ,
am ipio'.ed as having said that , 1)0 ) pc

were for La. Follotto , and that , Taf

I never said that or anything like that
nor even thought of it , and certain ) :
would not havu said It If I had though

'There may be people who Kiirrende
Hie convictions of a lifetime and al
that they have said editorially for lh <
paltry pittance of a little pollllca

( UNO me of assuming such an alt

I am for Senator La Kollelto fo
president of the United Slates , and
donl' euro who knows it , and that 1
my personal right , and Senator L
Kollcllo has a right to be a candldati
Hut what. I do say is that t will no
use the influence of my position I
assist the candidacy of any man.
Hut. I do reserve the right of doln
as a private cltixeu what I deem lies
and such editorials as yours and M
Profile's will not help the causn <
President Tuft or tlio republlca
parly.
I have been continuously bampere
by \Vorld-IIerald , and have bee
misquoted and paid no attention to I
but when they back up their criticism
and mistakes by ( he editorials froi
leading republican newspapers I don
propose to sit still under such clrciin
stances , and if you want thai Issn
up and thoroughly discussed I ai
ready.
1 don't think President Taf I shoul
be named , and am entitled to my b
lief. This is Hie situation as it exisl
at the present time.
lie still has an opportunity to '
something by way of redeeming tl
platform pledges of the party , and
lie does there may he no occasion f <
any other candidate , but If ho don't <
any belter in the future than ho hi
In the pasl he not only will not. I

I am quoting from the excerpts fro
your editorial as appearing in tl

leaders al Chicago , 1 was casual
asked the question by a reporter
the World-Herald as 1 now remomb
II. 1 said that I knew nothing of
ilial I was mil going to make ai
-pooches for Senator La Folloto , ai
novcr lind been asked to do so.
A man sometimes suffers at II
bauds of bis fool friends , and it < i
c\irs to me that It is high lime f
President Tuft to be saved from son
of ills friends. Now , if II Is the i
titudo of President Taft's friends

you will rind that such a contest

mve Installed a corn palace whor
visitors will have an opportunity t
aspect samples of the many varlctlc
if .grain and root crops which at
iroduced to a wonderful extent In tl :
lew lauds.
Tlio corn palace Is located In
building adjoining the rcglstratia
leadquarters so that everybody wli
times hero to register cannot hoi
jut see tbe atlracllvo exhibit , whlc
Is the fourteenth of Its kind ever gi
en In the United States. The exterU
jf the building is artistically done i
gigantic ears of corn of every variel
mil Iho blending of Uio different cr
ors with Iho raw material is a revel
lion. The panels are worked out wll
remarkable skill showing the artisl
lasle of Iho designer. Real llvo lee
ing Indian heads form part of the e
terior decorations , which are fashlo
ed oul of corn cars fresh from 11
farms. The monarch of an elk hei
is depicted us placidly surveying tl
surrounding country from an emi
once.
The expense of fitting up the palai
was all borne by the Commercial ch
and the exhibits were willingly donr
ed by the formers of the surroundti
country who cheerfuly hauled them
wagon loads Into Gregory so th
Iho visitors to the land opening con
form an intelligent Idea of the gre
possibilities for diversified farmli
and the unsurpassed fertility of tl
soil in the new Rosebud lands. I
eluded in Iho cxhlblled are huge w
termelons , polaloes and beets of sin
enormoiis proportions that they won
have to be seen to have their si
realized , corn of every variety ai
hue and flax and cereals having tl
highest commercial value.
An idea of the magnitude of the
hlbit may bo gained from the fact th
Designer Gillls and a force of twen
mechanics and artists were ongagi
for over two weeks transforming t
building into a veritable paradise wl
with the raw products from the fat
as their only material. To homcsec
ers the corn palace is calculated
bo both instructive and attractive f
the simple reason that it gives nn I
tolligent Idea of the possibilities
the new country. A force of vors
tile attendants will bo on hand all dt
Ing the opening to impart to the v
Itors all Information regarding t
fertility of the soil and the adaptal :
Ity of certain sections of the Rosob
country to different kinds of crops.
Judge James W. Wltten , super
tcndent of the land opening at G :
gory , was the most surprised man
town when ho caught the first glltnp
of the corn palace. The Judge sal
"During the many years that I ha
been conducting land openings for t
government I must say this Is t
most wonderful exhibit I have ov
seen. Although I am supposed to
familiar with all the public domain
never had the remotest idea that sit
bountiful crops as those represent
In this exhibit could bo produced
the farms of the Rosebud count :
The corn palace Is not only n rove
Hon to mo but It reflects great crci
on the enterprise of the citizens
Gregory and the Intelligent Indust
of the farmers who have settled t
