TELL DELEGATES
- WHAT-HEWILLDO
Roosevelt Will Not Speak on
Third Term Till They
Are Settled.
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

be willing to rest on his laurels. 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. Holmes We never did have a
better administration of this country than
that under Roosevelt. His successor
should be a man who will represent and
continue the enforcement of the policies
he has Inaugurated.
Wilfred Farrell Roosevelt first; then
Bryan.
Richard W. Montague Bryan meets
with my approval.
W. T. Vaughn Bryan suits me all
right. Can see no reason why I should
not support him.
Thomas G. Greene Bryan is good
enough for me.
E. E. CoovertTaft, if Roosevelt cannot
be induced to accept the nomination.
F. J. Raley Roosevelt first, last and
all the time.
J. B. Laber It's easy, just one, two,
three" order Roosevelt, Taft, Hughes.
C. H. Carey As National Committee
man for Oregon I do not desire at this
time to express my preference.
J. C. Veaiie Taft is my choice against
the field.
EXPRESS DRIVERS ROBBERS
CACHE FOR STOLEN ARTICLES
IX OLD BARN.
Seattle Has Been Pillaged for
Months Discovery Made Through
Refusal to Deliver Baggage.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 12. (Spe
cial.) Seattle police have found more
than a score of trunks, grips and old
pieces of baggage concealed in an old
barn near Rainier boulevard and Dean
street, in the southeastern part of the
city, and believe they have unearthed
a gang of robbing express-wagon
drivers who have used the barn as a
cache for their plunder.

been broken into and identification
marks changed, but after two hours'
work today .eight pieces of baggage
were identified. Among them were a
grip belonging to Arthur Langrlsh. of
Dumont, Cal.; a grip owned by Miss
Mabel Rivers, Fourteenth and Davis
streets. Portland; a case of new books
belonging to Verna Garger. of Everett,
Other baggage was Identified, but the
addresses of the owners are not known.

of the arrest of Henry' Imhoff. an ex
pressman who refused to deliver bag
gage for Rev. Peter Orloff, priest of
an Alaska Greek church. In search
ing for the priest's baggage, the cache
was found In the old barn.
ENJOYS ESCAPE FROM JAIL

to Get Drunk.
PENDLETON. Or.. Oct. 11 In the Cir

permitted to plead guyty to a charge of
assault after a charge of mayhem had

Shackleford's nose in a drunken fight.
He was sentenced to 90 days in the
County Jail by Judge Bean.
Burton was put to work about the
courthouse lawn. He enjoyed life for a
short time, but the responsibility was too
great a burden for him, and he twisted
through the gates and got away Into
town. In the afternoon Assistant District
Attorney McCourt ran across Burton in a
Joyous condition of Inebriety and cele
brating his escape from the penitentiary.
He was promptly turned over to a police
man and locked up In the City Jail until
the Sheriff could get a grip on him.

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.
