IN DOUBT "The newspapers have during the past few days stated without authority from me that I am a candidate for speaker of the Fifty-eighth congress. I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. Payne stating that he is a candidate. Past experience has demonstrated that with two candidates from New York state for that office neither could be successful. I should very much like to see this important position again occupied by a New Yorker after a lapse of seventyfive years. I am not willing that New York's opportunity should by any possibility be jeopardized by my candidacy, and I write this letter to Inform you that I am not a candidate for speaker. I am mailing a duplicate of this letter to each Republican member elect from New York state." BEARS FORM A COMBINE. SO NORTH MAIN. BOTH PHONES They Succemi fully Blade President Roosevelt's Rifle.
