TALKS
TO CARTER
Text Of Secretary's Mes.
sage for President
Roosevelt,

Information leaking out as a part
OF the aftermath of the Taft visit is
to the effect that the great War Sec,
rotary had some pretty close heart to
heart talks with Governor Carter in
San Francisco. Among other things
1t is said that the Secretary advised
Carter, on his own account, not to in
slst upon his resignation when he saw
the President. Secretary Taft is said
to have been particularly urgent in
this.
For he is quoted as having said,
"the President does not want any de-
sertions Of the ship at this particular
time
And, in fact, it seems that Taft
spoke by the card with reference TO
the Carter resignation, for it is said
that the President had commissioned
TAFT to say precisely that thing IL
Carter. More than that, Taft is quot
ed as having said that Carter would
not be three minutes in the presence
OF his chief before he would be once
more ready to take up the burden of
state and carry his share of it.
Whether he would take it up at once.
or whether he would take a rest first
would be matter to be determined
later.
OF course, if Taft had a commission
to talk plainly to Governor Carter in
behalf of President Roosevelt, it is al
together likely that the Governor did
not insist upon his resignation when
he finally saw the President. And that
would have made the consultation be-
tween the chief of the nation and his
appolntee much more pleasant, as be-
ing upon the basis that Carter meant
to come back as Governor, and merely
wanted further instructions as to the
desire of the President in the admin
istration of Territorial affairs.
