washington, Nov. 10. Theodore
Roosevelt will henceforth devote all
his energies to becoming u pastoral
and not u political president. He will,
during the remainder of his incumben-
cN, ignore the recommendations of pol
t~iicians, working to obey and please
the people.
Air, Roosevelt believes his triumphant
election is due to the people and not to
partisan leaders, politicians or ma
chimes; He propose hereafter to deal
with the people at first hands. He In
tends to mingle much with the masses
and become acquainted with their ne
ccssities and wishes. He will familiar
lie himself with their desires. He will
appoint to federal office only such men
rs are acceptable to the people. In
making these selections he will not be
influenced by consultations with sena-
tors, representatives and other lead
tfS.
" Is clearly realized by Mr.. Roosevelt
That, in ignoring the recommendations
of politicians In appointing men to Of
Nc" and distributing federal patron
age. he ma a~ntaspnize the senate and
experience difficulty in securing con-
nruaations. He does not anticipate any
Conflict now, MS he believes that in
making appointments without recon-
nlendationa from leaders. he viii save
public men much trouble and embar-
basement and enable them to inform
rheir constituents that It is useless to
Seek positions. as the president has mon
already in view to fill them. II the In
lorSetneAts OF the leaders coincide with
tle wishes Of the people. 1t Will please
thu president best.

tHc president VIII give them to under
staa3 that the people must be reckoned
with inst before the leaders receive any
crumbs.
Afte. the same fashion machines and
I%rty organizations viii not be given

This action will be based on the pres
fdeHt's declaration that he Is under
pledge, obligation or promise to no In
dlNiduai or group OF men: that he has
no Darty debts to pay, and that he will r
serve only the people who elected him.
!ae president will make 1t one of his
duties to visit the large cities to nscer-
tain for himself what the people need,
what policy they favor, what business
changes are needed through legisla-
ton, what representative men are de-
sired TO serve in local offices. and learn
what can be one to improve the hap

fhe masses.
Invade Solid South.
In making effective his plan to gain
q letter acquaintance with the public.
Mr.. Roosevelt Will invade the solid
south. The tour, based on a visit tic
the birthplace of his mother in Georgia,
WIN give an opportunity to explain to
the people OF the south JUST exactly
what his attitude is on the race ques-
ton. lie will declare that he has never
sought to establish race equality. He
does not consider this possible or desir-
able. He will assert that his only idea
is TO recognize manhood wherever it is
found. either in white or black and
mat he seeks to elevate manhood in
fhe negro. He will make a strong pre-
Fentation OF his views on this subject.

south VIII be established.
III is the intention of the president to
make many trips throughout all por-
lions or the country. Hc'will begin at
once by going to the exposition at St.
