The San Francisco call., 1905-04-15
WANTS TO BE LET ALONE.

Nov l am going to make a request |
of the people of Colorado. 1 am off on |
a hunt. One thing you can't do on a !
hunt, and that is to carry brass band. |
You cannot combine hunting bears |
with a Fourth of July celebration. |
Seriously, l am going to beg the people !
of Colorado to treat me on this hunt |
just as well as the people of Texas and
Oklahoma treated me on the wolf hunt |
If lot of newSpapermen start to come |
in after me l will have to come home;
that is all there is to 1t. The thing
they can do that will please me best is
to let me be on that hunt alone and
pay no earthly attention to me or any |
of my party while / am off in the |
mountains.
Il want to ask the newspaper men,
and especially the newspaper men of
this great State of yours. for fair
show and not to try to follow me up. !
If they do it, it probably will mean
that I shall have to give up the hunt.
If they won't do it, 1 will agree that If
anything of any earthly interest hap
pens 1 will have the news sent out"
At the conclusion ofSthe address the
President was taken in an automobile
to the home of p. B. Stewart There
he received a delegation from the
Chamber of Commerce of Denver and
accepted an invitation to visit that
city on returping, from his hunt. An
hour was spent in making preparations
for his departure for Glenwood Springs
and then the President returned to his
special train.
Promptly at e.3O the train pulled out
of the station, the President standing
bareheaded on the rear platform
waving his handkerchief to the crowd.
The train is due to arrive at New
castle tomorrow morning at o'clock.

work that l passed just outside of the
city There is no one thing possibly
