President Has Intimated That He Would Not Be Averse to Toga With Taft in
 White House.

Selection Takes Place During His Ab- scnce in Africa-Niany Politicians and Statesmen Have iS-
 pirations.

Washington, Nov, 6,-That President ator platt in the senate ls considered by many persons In Washington as not at all improbable, Those who regard this as possible say that they have assurance from the president himself that he would not be entirely aversc flee, under conditions as they will be after March I. So fan as Is known, he has made no recent expression on the subject, but he has said within the last year that. with Mir, Taft as Presl- dent, he would not feel tho same hesi- tancy about entering the senate that he would feel with some one m the White House with whom hIs relations were not as intimate as thoy are with Mr. Taft
 Mr. Roosevets general attitude has been adverse to entering the senate, because he has felt that al a member of that body, he would he called upon to critlcise his successor in the pres idency, and this he would feel a dell cacy about doing. He has said, how ever. that, knowing Mir, Taft as he does, and agreeing with him in all es- sentlHls as he does, he Is confident that there would moi he any occasion for antagonlsm. He has not gone to the extent nt any time of indicating that he would desire the office. even with Taft as president. but merely has said that with him in that position, his chief reason for not desiring the sem alorial position would disappear.
 Even this much has not been sall since tueTe has been any certainty Of Mir. raft's entering the White House but the presidents outline or his atti- tude is now recalled as offering pos slblp solution of tho senatorial cntan. glement lu New York, and as making an opening for the continuance of Mr. Roosevelts public career.
 It is even suggested that the absence of the president on his proposed ACrl- can hunting expedition need not ncces- sarily stand in the way ui his election, but rather that such absence might re- lieve the situation of embarrassment tn hnL in ease his friends should desire to press his name.
