MAY SUCCEED PLAIT
President's Public Career Likely to
Be Continued as Senator. ,
Washingt6n, Nov. 9. That Presi
dent Roosevelt may be the successor
of Senator Piatt In the Senate is con
sidered by many in Washington as
not at all improbable.. Those who re
gard this as possible declare that
they have assurance from the Presi
dent himself that he would not be
entirely averse to the acceptance of
the Senatorial office under conditions
as they will be after March 4.
It ig even suggested that the ab
sence of the President on his pro'
posed African hunting expedition
need not necessatiy stand in the way
of his election, but rather that such
absence might relieve the situation of
embarrassment to him in case his'
friends should desire to press his
name.
