Roosevelt Had No Desire
1oBsNsw York's Mayor,
Asked TO Be Candidate But De-
) cIined with Thanks.
Seven Years In White House En-.
titles Him to a Good Rest.

New York, Nov A.-Theodore Roose-
welt, toward the latter part of his
Presidential term, fatty refused to
consider running for mayor OF Greater
New York to aid the Republicans
against Tammany in the recent lnu-
nicipal election. This became known for
the first time today through Herbert
Parsons, president of the Republican
county committee, who said that he
personally made such a proposition to
Col. Roosevelt.
There has been talk from time to
time of the possibility of Col. Roosevelt
running for governor OF this state,
while vague rumors have connected
his name with another candidacy for
the Presidency but Mr.. Parsons state
ment today is the only definite declara-
ton concerning the former President
and any office that has been made pub
lie. Said Mr.. Parsons:
while Mr. Roosevelt was President
ard again shortly before he sailed
away from Africa, I asked him If he
would consent to become candidate
for mayor, but ne absolutely refused
to have mis- name considered for the
Office. l never asked him, however if
he would consent to run for gover>
nor"
When asked why Col. Roosevelt re-
fused to consider the mayoralty NOM
nation, Mr. Parsons said:
Il Think he believed it was an office
which required a great deal of hard
work, great deal of attention to de-
tails. He had just finished seven years
Of ardrous work at the White House
and he did not feel that we had the
right to draft him into the public
service again. He felt that as pri-
vate citizen he could still be of SER
vice to the state and nation
Mr.. Parsons said that he was sure
Gel. Roosevelt went away without any
thought of ever becoming United
States senator to succeed Chauncey NJ.
