Letter fross Steel Trast Head. '
"The enthusiasm wttb which the Roose
velt boomers look possession of their new
headquarters today led one of them In an
unguarded moment to say that a letter
purporting to have been written by a head
of the steel trust to Its employes "order-

and would be sprung as an offset' to the
undented charge of Mr. Houser that men
high In the council of tha United States
steel corporation and th International
Harvester company were openly support
inr. Mr. Roosevelt.
"The remarkable fact about this al
leged letter Is the fact that the only
ropy In existence, if It exists' at all, seems
to be in the sole psaseasion ot Mr. Roose
velt's campaign' managers. Ot then- abil
ity, by reason of their Intimate connec
tion with .Mr. Perkins and others, to
know what the United Mate Steel cor
poration Is doing or contemplates doing
to escape the chances made openly by Mr.
Houser. representing Senator La Fotlette,
there can be no dispute. 80 far as Mr.

WASHINGTON. March 4.-The Waah
Imrton Star today prints under a New
York date what purports to be the full
text ot the letter written by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, saying that he would
not be a candidate ifor the. presidential
nomination m 111 Th letter, addressed to
E. A. Van Talkenburg, president and
editor of til Philadelphia North Amer
ican, read as follows:
"'Jun S7. WIL-My Dear Mr. Vaa Val-
kenhurg: I am really obliged t you.
Now will you giv Mr. McClatcky from
me a copy of thai letter that I am wrMng
to you and also send a copy ot th letter
to Mr. Frank B. Noyea. Mr. McClatchy
state that Mr. Koye Informed him,
anent th story sent out by ttm 'A. P.'
that Mr. Roosevelt had pledged himself
to support Taft for a second term, that
he (Mr. Noyea) had th sum Information
from source entirely Independent ot those
from which th Associated Pre received
th story.
Mr. Noye state that be understood
that I did so express myslt to a member
of the cabinet and also to an Insurgent
senator, and say that be believe that
President Taft think that he ha as
surance ot support from me. Mr. Noye
add that ha explain my denial oa th
theory that I explained my attitude coa
Odeatlally and .felt tntltled to deny It
wbea It waa given publicity. Will you
tell Mr. McClatchy and Mr. Noj ss from
me (or aend :hm copies f tbl tatter),
that Mr. Noye I absolutely and com
pletely mMnformed and that there I not
on panic 1 of truth la th statements
made to him which he thus repealed to
Mr, McClatchy. Th only two member
of th cabinet to whom I have recently
pokes are Messrs. Meyer aad Stlmaoo.
"The former wrote m aad tha latter
Informed me verbally what la aaofe case
I knew already, that neither at tawo had
mad any uch statement ta Mr. Taft or
to any oa ), and that both of tkva
understand perfectly cieaxlyHhat-I was
sot going nd support any meat o i
nomination In Ml. aelther Mr. Taft aor
any on else. The Insurgent senator of
whom Mr. Noyea speaks Is a wholly
mythical a character a th cabinet min
ister of whom be speaks.
"H eaanot give th nam of that In
surgent senator or find It out. for Jx will
find that hi Informant will not giv It.
I mad no such statement to any . In
surgent senator or to any cabinet -minister
or to any other human being. Th aim
pi fact I that these stories are not
misunderstanding: they are deliberate
Inventions. Mr. Noyes I entirely In error
In Mating that President Taft think he
lias assurances of support from me.
"Mr. Taft thinks nothing of th kind.
He know h ha no assuranc of support
from me: and neither nr. Noye nor any
on else bas on leest little pertlcl ot
gpound for th opinion thus expressed. I

Uonawaa given out from the wnit House,
but I am now assured that H was gotten
up and given out by the Associated Press
representative at the 1 Whit House and
from Mr. -.Noyce- statement I should
gather that this waa true.

not a misunderstanding, was not
misinformation, but was a
deliberate invention, mad out of whole
cloth, without oa particle of basis be

It. 1
I have expressed myself perfectly
freely to a largo number of men In this
matter, always to tha same affect; tell
Ing you, for instance, personally, and
those who were with you at lunch at my
nous and telling Glfford Plnchot, Jim
Garfield and Representative Madisop and
Billy Loeb and Secretary Meyer and
Secretary gtlmson, all alike, just exactly
what I have said always, that I would not

'The methods employed would not hav
