self to be offered for presidential
honors on the last sentence of the
following letter, which one of them
received from him today:
II have read with iht-rest your
kind letter of the 4th inst, and as
sure you of the sincere appreciation
of the sentiments expressed in the
same and for your regard and con-
fidence in me. Such suggestions
as you make with reference to next
year are, of course, highly compile
mentary, but my position on this
subject is we'll defined and WE'LL
known. I have no personal ambi-,
ton ~ to serve, and cannot
be considered in any sense candi-
date for the presidential nomina-
ton. My only desire is to serve
my party to the extent of my abil-
ity.
