" New York, Feb. 7. Theodore Roose velt' candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination is to be an nounced soon. Definite statement that the former president Is in the race will come, not from Roosevelt himself, but from the progressive leaders, who, up to now, hare been supporting Robert M. La Follette, of Wisconsin. The formal tnnouncement probably will be signed by George Record, of New Jersey; Clfford and Amos Plnchot, former United States Senator Beverldge, of Indiana; Medlll McCormlck, of Chica go and possibly by Governor Hiram Johnson, of California. All of these leaders held a series of conferences here today, during which will carry these policies to a success ful conclusion. "Another matter of Importance In considering the availability of Roose velt Is that with bis nomination there would not be the Uncertainty, unrest and distressing influence on. business that hovers over every presidential campaign. It would be known at the start what his attitude on business would be, and this alone Is worthy profound consideration In selecting a Republican standard bearer." Roosevelt Talks. New York, Feb. 7.
