American, and lifelong friend Of the

views be put in writing for a public peru
sal To-day he received the following
reply:
My dear Mr.. TurnbIad: Your letter
Of the I'D Of March. in which you state
that you have been subjected 70 many
inquiries as to my plans in connection
with the Democratic nomination for
President, have for acknowledgment
In reply thereto let me say that do
not believe that any American citizen
should be an active and open candidate
for the nomination to the Presidency.
Any man would appreciate the high honor
which would come TO him in being Sc
iected as the standard bearer of his
party. While 1 recognize that the press
has much to say about me, in connection
with this high Office, I have hitherto
avoided any public or private expression
regarding my position.
Ready 10 Accept Honor.
Matters have progressed so far. how
ever. that it seems to me that l should
at least say. in answer to your interro-
cation. that if the Democratic party Of
the nation believed me TO be more avail
able than any other man, and felt that
by my nomination l could contribute
any service to the party and to the nation
l should be happy TO be the recipient OF
the honor which it would thus confer
1 am not unmindful, either, of the high
honor. which has been paid me by the
people OF Minnesota and il the Demo-
cratic party of the State desires to pre-
sent my name 10 the next national con-
vention. I am sure l would have no OBJ
lection. but even if Minnesota was the
only State TO declare for me at that
time. l should still feel that the distinc-
ton was one Of the greatest which could
come to me.

ing in the way Of organizing to bring
about this end, and shall not be a candi
date in the sense Of seeking the nomina-
ton.

fare OF the country and the Democratic
party at heart should feel that I am
necessary in this year of grace. / GER
tainly shall respond to any claim which
may be made upon me. Ia this eonnec-

City of Mexico, March e7.-The damage
caused by the earthquake shocks OF wes-

fair warning to those experienced in

was liable to occure later.
This fact. however. did not prevent
the theaters and the principal places Of
crowds. At these ere many American
tourists who felt the tinge OF excitement
given them by the shock OF the early
afternoon. When the buildings began to
rock and the cry of earthquake was
raised there was rush for the doors
and the thongs of pleasure seekers soon
gained access to the streets.
