HIS PURFOSE NOT CHANGED Sot Length ot Service, but Doing Things That Count, Is Whnt He Kegards Give Another Man a Chance. WASHINGTON. Oct. 12 The per sistent demand that President Roose velt accept the nomination for a third term will not draw another word on the subject from him until fhe dele gates from his own state have been elected. He will then declare his wishes on the subject, but before that time he will not reiterate, qualify, or retract his declaration to the contrary that he will not again be a candidate for the Presidency. Despite the opinions expressed from New York City, and despite the ac tivities of various Presidential candi dates, the demand for Roosevelt from the country at large is greater than ever, and Is likely to grow rather than lessen. Will Adhere to Purpose. Moreover, there is not a Presiden tial aspirant who would not prefer to give way In the convention to Roose velt rather than to anyone else. Nevertheless, slsns are multiplying that Mr. Roosevelt will stick to his declaration of 1904. These indications are so numerous, and signify such a settled policy on the President's part, that every Cabinet officer Is following his example and arranging to retire with his term. Others In close personal relations with the President are equally con fident that he will not allow himself to be swerved from his determination. To a few people, and only to a few, the President has stated the reasons controlling him. Some are ptrsonal. involving his own plans for the future: others indi cate his ideas on the subject of Presi dential tenure, whirh may be summed up briefly in the statement that it is not how long a man is President, but what he does while President, that counts. Give Someone Else a Chance. Mr. Roosevelt believes that while President he has done some things that count, and he now purposes to give someone else an equal opportun Hy. He believes It to be the beet for the country and best for himself that this shoubi be done. Those who know the President's personal plans have no right to dis cuss them publicly; those who do not know them are making many wild and absurd guesses. It may be said, however, that they are all based on a determined purpose to leave the White House at the close of his present term, and no one who is in close relations with Mr. Roose velt believes that his purpose can bo altered. lng their choice of Presidential . candl- j dates:. Judge George H. Williams Assuming that President Roosevelt is not to be considered, either Taft or Hughes would be acceptable to me. While I consider Hughes the most available man I do not think he has had the experience Taft has had. It is quite probable Taft might better represent the policies of the present administration than any other man that could be named. W. M. Cake I have but one choice and that Is Roosevelt. He should be retained to carry out the vigorous policies he has inaugurated. He is a man of re markable ability for meeting Issues, has great tenacity of purpose, is possessed of wonderful capacity for executing hts policies and above all enjoys the fullest confidence of the people. Taft Logical Successor. L. A. McNary The candidate for Presi dent must be one that will carry out the policies inaugurated by President Roosevelt. Taft is not only the logical man but he is decidedly the man for the place. B. S. Pague I am opposed to toose- velt's centralization policy and hts general impulsivennss and egotism. Favor Taft If he would not be run by Roosevelt too much. Dr. C. EL Stolte Roosevelt is my first choice; then Bryan. James E. Page Hughes for me all the time, but the party's candidate always. Mark T. Kady Recalling Grant's third term candidacy, I believe Roosevelt should TALK TAtT MERELY AS A BLIND Machine Faction Will Drop Him In the Convention. TOPEKA. Kan., Oct. 12. Political lines are forming in Kansas for a fight between the old machine and square deal factions in the Republican party and it will be a fight to the finish. This contest not only reaches to the Senatorship and Governorship, but may affect the Presidential contest as far as tills state's delegation Is concerned. During the last two weeks La Follette stock has made great strides In Kan sas and the Wisconsin Senator has a good show of capturing this delega tion. This machine faction is making a hard fight for a Taft delegation. The machine faction is making a hard fight for a Taft delegation, but there is lit tle sincerity among the leaders. They are talking for Taft because it is the popular thing to do and because it will help them to control the state and save Senator Long. When the time comes they will sidetrack Taft and go to Hughes or Cortelyou, if there is a chance to defeat the Secretary of War. The machine forcos count confidently on the help of the railroads and -other corporations to help them find a wav to "get away from Taft." If this element rontrols the convention that selects National delegates the Kansas delegation will be for Taft only upon the condition that his nomination is assured. If the Stubbs faction wins, the delegation will go to La Follette if he Is a candidate. Both elements are talking Taft as a blind to get their forces lined up. ROOSEVELT FIRST CHOICE I (ronllnnea From Fg 1.) take to take any chances and name for the Presidency at this time any man who is not entirely familiar with the policies Inaugurated by the President, and who Is not capable of carrying out those pol icies. Admiration for Hughes. Local Republicans regard Governor Hughes a capable man and a fearless of ficial, who might prove equal to the emergency. Rut It was discovered from the canvass of the three buildings that the New Torker is considered an untried nun. and In that regard Taft. who has been tried and "made good," Is more readily to be entrusted with the ship of state. It is considered by the friends of the Administration that Taft Is not only abundantly qualified to take up the work where Roosevelt will leave off. but is capable of Initiating other policies that will redound to the material good of the country. Friends of Governor Hughes, however, maintain that he Is equally as desirable Individually as Taft. and while admitting that he is not as strong In the West, as sert that- he Is stronger throughout the East, where, with the aid of the antl Roosevelt element, he may become a more formidable candidates than he now appears. 4 Some or the Interviews.

I prefer Taft to Hughes for the "reason that he has been tried and his nomination would mean a continuance of Roosevelt's poli cies. H. K. McGinn Roosevelt most decided ly. Aside from him my choice is Taft, for I consider he would more nearly carry out the President's policies than any other man that could be named. Roosevelt Leads All. H. A.

Jewel Ranges $1.00 Down $1.00 a Week Terms on All Specials Strictly Cash BOY MONSTER CONFESSES Murdered Girl, but Has no Concep tion of Crime's Enormity. CAMDEN, X. X, Oct. 12. Seemingly as devoid of moral perception as was Jesse Pomeroy when he murdered Katie Curran in 1874, Joseph Wood, the l-year-old slayer of Ethel Nevin, nine years old, was made the subject of a quick Indictment for murder by the grand Jury today. As the boy has confessed his guilt, the only question to be discussed Is what his punish ment shall be. It is likely that an early date will be set for the trial. Young Wood's confession marks him as one of those abnormalities that set the milestones in the records ot juve nile crime. Sixteen years old. with a mop of unkempt, tow colored hair, small face for his age and wizened In fea tures, the boy has evinced not the slightest Indication that he has any Idea of the enormity of his deed. He confessed because he was sleepy and wanted to go to bed and get his feet warm. After telling a story that drove chills through the policemen. Wood slept like the child that he Is in stature. The authorities say the ' boy pre sents a problem. It is generally con ceded that morally he is too deficient to deserve death and too dangerous to be at large. He probably will be found guilty of the murder and then imprisoned for a long term of years. Eugene Property Changes Hands. EUGENE, Or., Oct. 12. (Special.) J. B.
