The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-06-11

Roosevelt eyeglasses and teeth gives them the shivers.
 What will he do after his return? That is question the answer of which is fraught with some moment to this country. Certain gentlemen of the press and of the conservation move ment, popularly known as the return from Elba" crowd, believe he will be a candidate for president in 1912. Certain other gentlemen of the press and of official station, known of all men as friends of the administration, are just as certain that he will get be- hind Taft. A man of the name of Herron-George D. Herron-expatriat ed as I recall because of certain mat. rfmonial complications, thinks Roose- welt will become not only president, but virtual emperor, that he will end the republic and that he will be the begin ming of "the new dark ages" Thus the thing is seen to be not without an element of the fantastic, especially when dealt with by a fantastic mind. It Is perhaps as well to keep ourselves within the bounds of sanity when deal AAAS WILL AeOOSCfSlC VI WILL OLucI
 Will Go to Cheyenne.
 As to whether he will or will not be come presidential candidate he alone can answer. Of only two things are we sure-that he will have the great est reception ever given an American citizen on his homecoming and that he will go to Cheyenne in August and presumably will greet certain bevies and swarms of delighted citizens on the way and back. This much will come of the suggestion of western editor that the colonel return by way of San Francisco and tear up the vocal apparatus of the country on his way east. That he could not do because it would bring him home too late for his sons wedding. But he yielded to the suggestion to the extent of taking later round trip to Cheyenne. Be yond these meager details it is given out that he will lecture, write books and help to edit the Outlook. What else the future holds for him and for us the American people and Theodore Roosevelt himself alone can tell.
 Certain it is that he will have plenty to do after he informs himself of what has taken place during his fifteen months absence, and whatever he does it will keep the country on the jump. It is impossible that his per ennial energies should be bottled. They will find an outlet, and political outlet at that Of late the advices have linked his name with an ambi- dous tour of twenty-four states, with an address at one big mass meeting in each. This tour fs to be made in con- nection with the Cheyenne trip, and the fortunate commonwealths included are as follows:
 New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kan sas, Oklahoma, Texas. Louisiana, Ala bama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Car olina, North Carolina, Virginia, Penn sy1vania, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey.
 Walter Wellman, who has been with him on the European tour, intfmates that if the country demands it Roose- welt will again run for president. By the way, Wellman in one of his letters has a touch that is too good to be lost. It recounts how a young Englishman came down to the wharf in Egypt to see the former president. He gazed long and earnestly at that picture of health. Then he turned and said:
 And just to think that man is row re- turning from a year on the equator! They tell me he has been out day after day eight, ten, twelve hours in the scorch- ing sun. He has waded marshes 'Ip to his neck. He has fought his way through papyrus and reeds and ooze and mud. He has never had day of fever or met a touch of dysentery. Look at him and look at me, as have been down here TOO miles from the equator only one year.
 I have tried to take care of myself. I have been in no swamps, done no hunt ing, save of mosquitoes. I am a wreck have had fever, have had dysentery, have taken barrels of medicine, have been in hospitals and am now going home. l am
