request to Mr. or Mrs. Storer that the
president desired me to say that Mr
Storer was ultimately to be made an
Ambassador. Mr. and Mrs Storer

York ;
“Not belug president myself and not
having thought out with clearuess the
exact situation, 1 asked President Mo
Kinley whether he could properly do
anything to help Archbishop Ireland
He responded that It was not a mat
ter with which he could with propriety

sell as having the same high opinion
of the archbishop that I bad. 1 had a
furiier conversation with the preal-
dent ou the subject, either just before
or just after wy election as vice presi:
dent, in which he stated what he felt
Was the proper position—a pesition
with which I absolutely agreed.
“Following this conversation, In my
letter to Mrs. Btorer of Nov, 23, 1900,
quoted by Mr. Storer in his pamphlet,
I Wtated with absolute clearness my
position and why it was out of the
question for the president to try to get
any archbishop made cardinal, and all
the leiters guofed by Mr. Storer as
baving been subsequently written by
me to him or to his wife fake precisely
the same position.
“1 explained repeatedly that my
friendabip and admiration for Arch-
bishop Ireland (which is like my
friendship and admiration for Bishop
Laurence of the Episcopal chiureb and
Bishop Cranston of the Methodist
church, Uke my friendship and admira-
tion for masy clergymen of many de
