BRING PRESSURE ON
PRESIDENT TO RUN
Hundreds of Letters Pour in on
Him Urging Him to Accept .
denomination
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, April 29.-It is
learned on good authority that between
800 and 400 letters are received daily at
the White House urging President
Roosevelt to run again. The letters
come from all parts of the country and
from democrats as well as republicans.
All sorts of arguments are used by the
writers to convince the president that
he should permit the national conven-
tion to nominate him.
The burden of the letters Is that
President Roosevelt is in the thick of
his campaign for. the establishment of
complete government control over in
terstate commerce and for other re-
forms; that It is impossible to transfer
this work successfully to another, since
the presidents own personality is a
powerful factor in achieving success;
that the republican party can not afford
to nominate any man who is not sure
of election. and that the president is
the only republican who would be GER
tain of election. SO far as known there
is no movement on foot to inspire the
writing of these letters to the presi-
dent.
Straw votes taken in different parts
of the country show that a majority OF
republicans and democrats are in favor
of nominating Roosevelt in spite of his
announcement
