REPLIES TO GOVERNORS

IF NOMINATION IS TENDERED HE
WILL TAKE IT
Tells the Seven Governors Who Asked
Him to Run, That He Will Get
In the Race and Stay In
Till the Close
New York—"I will accept the nom-
ination for president if it is tendered
me, and I will adhere to this decision
until the convention haB expressed
Its preference'," is Col. Roosevelt's re-
ply to the seven governors asking him
to stand for nomination.
The eagerly awaited reply was given
out Sunday night at Col. Roosevelt's
offices here during his absence on a
trip to Boston It was unexpectedly
brief, but definite. It follows:
"New York, Feb. 24, 1912.
"Gentlemen: I deeply appreciate
your letter, and I realize to the full
the heavy responsibility it puts upon
me, expressing as it does the care-
fully considered convictions of the men
elected by popular vote to stand as
the heads of government in their sev-
eral states.
"I absolutely agree with you that
this matter is one not to be decided
with any reference to the personal
preferences or interests of any man,
but purely from the standpoint of the
Interests of the people as a whole.
"I will accept the nomination for
president, if it is tendered to me, and
1 will adhere ot this decision until
the convention has expressed its pref-
erence."
"One of the chiijf principles for
which I have stood and for which I
now stand, and which I have always
endeavored and always shall endeavor
to reduce to action, is the genuine
rule of the people and therefore, I
hope that so far as possible the people
may be given the chance through di-
rect primary, to express their prefer
ence as to who shall be the nominee
of the republican presidential conven
tion. Very truly yours,
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
The letter was In answer to the fol
lowing state executives: W. E. Glass
cock of West Virginia, Chester H. Aid
rich of Nebraska, Robert Bass of New
Hampshire, Joseph M. Carey of Wyo-
ming, Charles S. Osborne of Michigafi,
W. R. Stubbs of Kansas, and Herbert
S. Hadley of Missouri.
The above named governors as-
sembled at Chicago two weeks ago
and drafted a letter to Col. Roosevelt
asserting that there was a popular
demand for him to be president again
and urging him to declare himself as
to whether he would accept the repub
lican nominatiori, "if it came unso-
licited and unsought."
For two weeks Col. Roosevelt con
Bidered the letter, indicating plainly
that he had no intention of making a
hasty reply.
Asks $50,000 Of Tulst Democrat
Tulsa, Okla.—T. J. Macmanus, the
real estate man who recently filed
deeds purporting to cover the George
B. Ferryman allotment, on which addi-
tions to Tulsa to the value of over a
million dollars have been builded, filed
an action in libel against the Tulsa
Democrat, demanding $50,000 for al-
leged damages. He alleges injury to
his business and social standing. The
Democrat editorially denounced the
Macmanus claims as blackmail. Mac-
manus is under indictment, on a
charge of filing a pretended deed to
land not in the possession of the
grantor.

War Scare Looming Up—Advance On
Juarez Begins—American
Troops Handy
El Paso, Texas—If Information
brought in by a Mexican railroad la-
borer is correct, the advance of the
Vasquista rebels on Juarez has begun.
The Mexican said a rebel troop train
had arrived on the Northwestern line,
fourteen miles below Juarez.
The reported arrival of rebels at
Bauche was confirmed when railroad
officials in Juarez received a demand
to send out three cars of water. They
complied.
The rebels will make a demand, it Is
said, for the surrender of Juarez. It
Is believed there will be no resistance.
An anti-American proclamation was is-
sued Saturday from the same print-

Red Oak Lad Loses His Leg
Fort Smith, Ark.—Benjamin Davis,
aged seventeen years, son of a well-
known Baptists minister of Red Oak,
Okla., had his right leg amputated in
Ruth hospital at Hartford, Ark., as a
result of an accident that befell htm
when he attempted to board a freight
train on the Rock Island railway near
his home. It is reported that the boy
became dissatisfied with hvme life and
started to run «.way. Another report
says he was returning home after an
absence of several days.
Washington.—l-resident Taft has
submitted to congress the report of
the employers' liability commission and
the commissions' proposed employers'
liability and workmen's compensation
bill accompanied by a message urging
the enactment of the measure which
is the most advanced piece of liability
legislation yet presented. The presi-
dent sets forth that the proposed law
not only would insure to employes of
railroads engaged in interstate com-
merce quick adjustment of their claims
for damages but also would relieve
the courts of a vast amount of work
and enable them to administer judicial
affairs with greater dispatch.
"I sincerely hope that the act will
pass," says the president. "1 deem it
one of the great steps of progress
toward a satisfactory solution of an
important phase of the controversies
between employer and employee that
has been proposed within the last
two or three decades."
Common Law Rule Abolished
The report is accompanied by the
draft of a bill in which the commission
eliminates the common law doctrine of
negligence with what it characterizes
the unjust defense of assumption of
risk, fellow servants fault and con-
tributory negligence. Compensation
with a general basis of an equivalent
to one-half wages is to be paid in
every case except where the injury
or death is caused by the wilful inten-
tion of the employe to injure himself
or another or in case of intoxication
on duty.
The proposed bill declares that it
is the policy of congress to consider
the burden of payments for personal
injuries as an element of the cost of
transportation and directs the inter-
state commerce commission to recog-
nize and give effect to this policy.
WANT TRACKS ELEVATED
Oklahoma City—Announcement is
made that an application for a state
charter will be filed for the "Citizens'
Protective League," an organization
. formed by leading taxpaying citizens
OKLAHOMA CITY GRADE CROSS- in Oklahoma City during the last three
INGS ARE DANGEROUS
Alto Kick Against Passenger Depot
Facilities, and Will Bring the
Questions Up For Consid-
eration Later On
Oklahoma City—The questions of
track elevation and adequate pas-
senger station facilities for Oklahoma
City have been put up to the compor-
atlon commission at last, complaints
relative to grade crossings being filed
against the Rock Island, Frisco and
Santa Fe, and relative to" passenger
stations against the Rock Island and
Frisco roads, Monday, by the Trav-
elers' Corporation of Oklahoma,
through R. P. Bennett, secretary of
the traveling men's organization.
The Travelers' corporation includes
its membership several hundred com-
mercial travelers of Oklahoma. It iB
chartered under the laws of the state
with a capitalization of $2,500, each
member holding one share of stock,
and was organized to secure better
accommodations for the traveling pub-
lic.
The complaint relative to grade
crossings includes the llock Island,
Santa Fe and Frisco roads. The fol-
lowing grounds for complaint are
given:
"That the tracks of the above
named defendants cross practically all
of the business streets of Oklahoma
City; that due to the immense vol-
ume of traffic, Including pedestrians,
motor vehicles and teams, the lives
and properties of a great many cit-
izens of Oklahoma City are endangered
weeks for tba purpose, primarily, of
protecting and looking after the in-
terests of the taxpayers of this state.
A petition to apply for the charter
was circulated Saturday and the names
of forty-six prominent taxpayers were
attached to the document.
The new organization is Intended
to be non-partisan, non-political in
character with its membership expend-
ed to every taxpaying citizen in the
state. In brief, its purposes are as fol-
lows :
To investigate the methods of ad-
ministration of affairs of state, city,
town, county, school and other munici-
pal governments of the state of Okla-
homa; to investigate the application
of economical and efficient methods of
administrating such business; to in-
form members of the association of
their rights and interests as taxpayers,
and to bring about and procure con-
tinuance of a faithful, economical, effi-
cient and scientific administration and
government of the financial and other
business concerns of the governments
of the state.
The league proposes to establish an
office in Oklahoma City, and to em-
ploy an attorney to devote his entire
time to the tax questions, and matters
of concern to the taxpayers in the
state. It is announced that a com-
mittee of the new organization will
meet the citizen' committee, recently
formed, at the courthouse Monday
night. An effort will be made to com-
bine the two organizations.

Corporation Commission Threat Causes
Action
El Paso, Tex—That the situation,
here Is acute and that interventionj
by the Dnited States government may;
be expected at any moment, is evi-
dent to residents here in the fact that'
troops have been ordered into town
from Fort Bliss,'and special trains
are being ruBhed from Fort Sam Hou-
ston at San Antonio.
American citizens here nre genu-
inely alarmed at the outlook, and
bodies are being formed to protect
property in the event of invasion and
consequent hostilities. The situation Is
rendered acute because of the large
number of Mexicans resident in El
Paso.
The recent sacking and burning of
Juarez, just across tho river in Mex-
ico, and the known desire of certain
Mexican leaders to provoke intenven-
tion by tho United States government,
augments tho anxiety of El Paso cit-
izens, who realize that the situation is
critical.
Troops Moving
Washington—The crtBls has come
at Juarez. Official reports to the gov-
ernment say 700 insurgent troops
have landed from a train on the Mex-
ican Central railroad ten miles from
that town and that hostilities already
have begun between the outpoBts.
During a skirmish last night one man
was killed and two wounded.
Immediate effect of this news was
to cause the dispatch of some further
messages from the war department
to military posts regarding further
movement of troops toward the bor-
der. The Fourth infantry, now di-
vided between Fort Crook, Omaha,
and Fort Logan H. Roots, Little Rock,
was ordered to get ready with sup-
plies and shelter tents and everything
necessary for border service and to
be prepared to entrain for San An-
tonio upon the receipt of a Becond
message. This probably will be the
first regiment to reinforce the border
patrol, but others are slated for much
service, if today's developments at
101 Paso appear to justify the move-
ment.
