ALL IN THE OPEN, SATS TEDDT
SYRACUSE. N. Y., April 26. A
scries of confidential letters taken
from the file kept by the late
j Thomas c Flatt while he was rep
, resenting the state of New York In
the United States senate, wera today
read to the Jury trying William
Barnes' suit for alleged libel against
Theodore Roosevelt In the supreme
court here. Some of the letters were
signed by Colonel Roosevelt. In
nearly all of them the writers dis
cussed candidates for office In the
state government, and In reply to a
question by Mr. Barnes' counsel the
former president said without the
slightest hesitation that he consulted
freely with Senator Piatt about af-
i fairs at Albany, knowing and realis
ing at all times that he waa the.
"boss'' of the republican party In this
state. One of the letters read dur
ing the afternoon session contained
a postcript which read: "All right,
I'll change the whole board of tax
assessors."
The colonel denied emphatically
that such conferences constituted
"invisible government."
"My actiona," the witness asserted,
"were as visible as they could be."

When Court opened a stipulation

If the witnesses appeared on the
stand was read Into the records. Mr.
Ivina, Mr. Barnes' attorney, then put
into the rocord letters written by Mr.
Barnes to Colonel Roosevelt and by
Colonel Rooaevelt to Mr. Barnes, and
to Herbert Tarsons. The latter let
ters, dated August 21, 1908, were
nearly identical In contents and
phraseology. In one letter Mr.
Barnea discussed Governor Hughes.
He said that ahould Hughe be
elected he would set up a political
machine and that all politicians who
opposed him would have to "sneak
In tha back door or get out of poli
tics." -
Th reply sf Colonel Roosevelt, written
at Oyster Bay, read In part: '
"My Dor Mr. Barnea: Yesterday 1
aw ( fhermsn, Bennett, Oeorga , t?mtth,
Mlk ladY Cocks and Hitchcock, chair
man of th national committee, here,l
have been carefully going Int th Hughes
matter since I saw you. I appreciate to
the fullest the force of th argument
you urged against his renomlna'.lon. It
I not pleasant for me to support a man
who ha wantonly behaved badly to th
very men who did moat In securing hi
selection. I would approve hi turning
them down In th public Interest, but 1
object to its being done wantonly. More-
over, I appreciate that he ha alienated"
quite needleaaly very many voter and
If wa had th right man to put In hi
place ( the right maa from th stand
point of getting votes) I should say that
It wa certainly wis to nominate such a
man. But no such man la In sight, and
there doe not seem to be th slightest
chance of hi arising. Under tb condi
tions It seems to m that while It will
do damage to renominate Hughe, It
will do mora damage sot to renominate
him and that this damage will extend
outald of th state. While, therefore, I
want most emphatically to disclaim any
intention of aeeming to dlotat th
nomination, I think I ought to tell you
that"
A copy of th a boys letter wa sent to
Mr. Parson.
On August K 1908, Colonel Roosevelt
wrote to Mr. Uarne, from Washington,
In part a .follow:
"Moat emphatically whatever my
place (the right man from th stand
by them, I have given them, including
you, my best judgment. '
"Now, if you and those Ilk you, tear
that I shall ask you to cut your throat
you fear I groundless. But my judgment
Is that th "convention will nominate
Hughe and that it would hurt very
much mora not to nominal blui than
to nominate him, although It will un
doubtedly hurt ua alio to nominate him.
. Hooaevelt Pralaea Baraea.
On September IS Colonel Rotsevelt
wrote thl letter to Mr. Barnes: V
"I am very glad you Joined In making
the nomination of Hughe unaJtrooue.
After th election I shall want to you
In Washington and talk over matters
with you."
On November 4. 1908, election day, Colo
nel Roosevelt wrote this to Mr. Barnes
from the White House:
"Dear Mr. Barnea: Good for you. W
are to b heartily congratulated on th
whole business, national and state. 81a-
cetely yours,
THKODORE ROOSEVELT."
Replies by Mr. Barnes to some of the
colonel's letters were also read to th
Jury. Th witness identified all of tha
letter and declared them to be authentic.
In one of hla letter Congreasman Par
son objected to being "treated a a
puppet." Mr. Parsons said ha had asked
th advlo of "Htoddard of the New York
Mall" about a proposition to hold an un
official primary on tha question of re
nominating Hughes.
. When th letter had been read Mr.
'Ivlns asked Colonel Roosevelt about

He said Hughes' wa smaU.

a man who cannot buy a
new car, but can afford a good
used one.
