Btimson's speech In Chicago last 1h
supporting President Taft for the repub
lican nomination brought from Colonel
Jiooscvelt today a tart reply.
"In regard to (Mr. Stimaon's etatement
that agalnet my original Intention I am
being forced by certain persona Into the
arena this year, I need merely nay," de
clared Colonel Roosevelt, "that the state
ment la correct, only In the sense that
It would be correct to make the same
'latement as to my advocacy of . Mr.
Stlmson for governor tn WO, In that
conteat, as In this, I was exceedingly re
luctant to be drawn into the contest. In
hat contest, as In this. I acted only from
sense of duty to the people ss a whole,
and In that contest I was aesslled with
precisely the same arguments by the
great majority of those who are now as
sailing me.
"if I had considered only my own per.
sonal Interests and personal preference

J9 campaign, hare let the machine re

state go democratic by 3Q0.0M majority,
ha under those circumstances It certainly
would have gone. I went In because t
conscientiously felt that It was my duty
to take my pat In the fight for honest
government, for genuine self-government
by the people, without regard to the con
sequences to myself, and I am InMMs
right on precisely the same basis and for
practically the same reasons.
Stlmeoa owes Hla Kethlag.
"Let me add, in view of the question
of certain friends, that neither Mr. Stlm
on nor any other man whom I have
supported for public office owes me any
gratitude for doing so; support a man,
not to get bis gratitude, but because I
believe he will render good service to
the people, and I ask nothing from any
man In return except that be render such
service to the people, and I judge him
accordingly.
"As for the question, concerning "who
re forcing me Into the arena,' the an
swer Is easy, .
."Which side is making the demand for
rpen prlmamlee, and which side la stifling

to accede te it save under compulsion and
