Mr dear Sir
So much of your interview as relates to the future of the independence League meets with my approval - Except for the fact that Mr Roosevelt went out of his way in his 1906 Utica speech to do a meanness there would he no doubt about it - Mr Hearst has over 200000 People in this State who actually believe in him and are ready to follow him anywhere. His off repealed declaration that he will never agtain he a candidate for office makes it necessary for the League to form an alliance some where. The fusian in New YOrk City this year has been entirely satisfactory
Very Truly Yours
