day that the Judge was simply in a run
down state Of health and needed the rest
Tie said also that Judge Sener Will prob
ably not be at Charlottesville at the COM
mencement nor on the occasion of the
Presidents visit. 1t may be depended
on, however, that the Judge will see to 1t
that Joe Wilmer, of Rapidan, is there
when Teddy comes. When the committee
went to invite the cowboy President to
the University, In replying to the adj
dress of Judge Sener. President Roosevelt
said: You must have my friend Joe
Wilmer there; If you don't there will be

him that he would undertake the COM
mission Of having Wilmer there and the

to delegate some one to see that Wilmer

ROOSEVELT AND HERRIcK.
member Of the Roosevelt Cabinet
who was invited into the Presidents Of
fetal family not only because OF his ne
culiar fitness for the position he now
holds but also because of his political
EagacitX and acumen.' Is being quoted
as favorlnE; Myron T. Herrlck. Of Clevc-
land, o., as Roosevelts running mate In
1904 His name is withheld but those who
know the method of describing Roosn-
velts, Cabinet ministers by the newspaper
men; who want to- hint who 1t Is that is
quoted without mentioning his name, be-
4 Iieve that 1t was Postmaster-Gc General
Payne who said 1t, and If not him, Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Shaw. The Of
fetal says:
Colonel Myron T. Herrick is one of
> the strongest probabilities in the country
for second place on the ticket next year,
IN my opinion. 1t seems to me now that
the likelihood Of bis being nominated for
Vice-Presitnnt. WIFI become much strong.
er II he'is 'riumphantly elected Governor
Of Ohio next fall. By this ] mean that
II his majority is normal or above nor
NAL. the consideration of his name for q
place on the Presidential ticket will be
very serious and probably favorable. On
the other hand. should his majority fall
Tar below normal his availability will be
seriously affected. If not rendered wholly
out Of the question
II believe Mr. Roosevelt will not en-
deavor to dictate the nomination of his
running mate. At the same time, MS the
head Of the Ticket, the men who will be
in control Of the convention naturally
will be disposed TO consider 10 great
extent his wishes in the matter. That
haipu he cns is my iptn hot IA
President will look toward Ohio for the
Yice-Pres!deptial candidate in the event
DIR. Herrlck achieves the goverporship by
n great majority. Having demonstrated
his popularity in that way at the polls
next November. Colonel Ilerrick natural
~ would help the Presidential ticket"
This interview was given out after a
conference Of Cabinet officials and is look
ed upon as representing the Presidents
views.
