TOUR FOR ROOSEVELT
Why President Plans to Spend
Two Years Abroad.
WISHES TAFT TO BE FREE.

He Would Be Beyond the Reach Of
Any Who Might Seek His Influence
With the Secretary If Elected His
Suocessor-Hopes to Hunt In African
Wilds.
Unless there is a change In his pres
ent Intentions President Roosevelt will
leave the United States soon after the
inauguration OF his successor ON March
4 next and will not return for two
years, There 4ave been several reports
in the last few months regarding the
plans OF Mr.. Roosevelt for the DISPOSE
ton OF his time after his retirement
from the presidency. None of them
has been authoritative. II is possible
now, however, says Washington spe.
cial dispatch to the New York Times,
to make positive statement so far as
the present plans OF the president are
concerned
A considerable part Of the two years
which he purposes to spend abroad
will he devoted by Mr.. Roosevelt to
the hunting of big game. He Is likely
TO go first to Africa Recently he had
a long conversation with u man who
has spent much time In hunting in
Africa. and the president was intense.
ly interested in the first hand account
of the sport which he received He
feels that he has earned the right to
put In portion of his time In the
sport which most appeals to him.
Where he will go besides Africa has
not yet been considered
The president proposes to spend two
years away from the United States for
two reasons. Rest and the recreati
OF hunting are only the minor ones
He intends to put himself beyond the
reach of those persons who would in
evitably seek II he were within reach,
to use his influence with the new nd.
ministration
He is convinced that Secretary Taft
Will be nominated by the Republican
convention at Chicago and will be
elected. He is OF course aware OF the
manner in which the charge has been
circulated that Taft would be only
Roosevelt man as president and that
whatever Taft as president might do
1t would be ascribed to the Roosevelt
influence. Because of this situation he
purposes to take himself out of the
country, where it will be impossible to
repeat any such charge against Presi-
dent Taft. In other words he intends
to save both Taft and himself embar-
rassment
A confidential friend Of President
Roosevelt said the other day, In speak
ing of the contemplated trip abroad:
II have never heard the president
say 1t In SO many words. but am
convinced that he ia determined to give
Mr.. Taft an absolutely free hand. II
Mr.. Roosevelt should remain In this
country and be accessible to our citi-
zens. everything that Mr.. Taft would
do as president would be discussed
with relation to Roosevelt. Politicians
