president on the ticket with President
Mckinley. Governor Roosevelt is not
willing to take this nomination and
has made his wish IS known in an un-
mistakeable manner. He says he
wants to be re-ele :ted as governor OF
New York. But President Mckinley
wants Roosevelt on the ticket and is in
clined to insist that the governor yield
his political preferences for the good
of the party at large. There was dls-
cussion of this matter at the cabinet
meeting yesterday, and as Senator
Hanna has just returned from New
York, where he had conference with
ex-Secretary Bliss, it was understood
he had reported Mr.. Bliss unwilling to
take the vice presidential nomination
and advising that Governor Roosevelt
be pressed into service. 1t cannot be
said with truth that the question is IT.
revocably decided, but present appear
ances are that President Mckinley will
personally urge Governor Roosevelt to
take the second place on the ticket
and almost refuse to accept declinatloh
for an answer. Either this or the
Philadelphia convention will be given
the tip to go ahead and nominate
Roosevelt, despite the governors de-
claration of unwillingness. Those
who advocate this, course say Governor
Roosevelt is too good party man to
refuse to respond to such y call, and
that he will accept and take the
stump.
