New York. July zs.-Gifford Pin
chot. former chief forester under
Theodore Roosevelt. took his place
today upon the list Of possible candi-
dates for the republican nomination
for governor OF New York, and Thoo-
dore Roosevelt was asked 20 support
his candidacy.
while the cx-presldent has not said
anything that In any way resembles
an outspokcn declaration in favor OF
any candidate. Il IL believed that he
does not look unkindly upon the
boom.
Or. Samuel McCune Lindsay,
former commissioner Of education OF
Porto Rico. and now a professor Of
Columbia university. Is the mar who
launched the new boom. He had q
long and confidential talk today with
Colonel Roosevelt. and left with the
air OF a man we'll pleased with the
turn things had taken.
Mr.. Lindsay explained that, al
though Mr.. Pinchot had often been
absent from New York state in recent
years, he has always retained his legal
residence In this city, and has regu-
larry voted here. The fact that he was
talked of az one time as a possible
candidate for governor OF Pennsyl-
vania was based, said Or. Lindsay. on
the false idea that Mi. Pinchot's legal
residence was az Milford. Pa, where
he has a country home.
Or. Lindsay IL a close friend OF
both Colonel Roosevelt and Mr.. PIN
ehot In common with other friends,
he has been working quietly or the
pineh0t boom for some time, and first
suggested TO Mr.. Pinehot himself the
possibility hat he might run No
definite answer, he said, WAS re-
turned.
Colonel Roosevelt was told today
that, In the opinion of Mr.. Ptnchots
friends. he could draw support from
the same sources which has given
power 20 Governor Hughes in past
campaigns.
MIR. Pinchct IL represented rs IN
sympathy with the general trend 81
the Hughes progressive policy.
Mr.. Pinchot Is now on his way east
from Califirnia, and on his return vii
have another conference with his old
chief. Colonel Roosevelt. Or. Lindsay
will tell him then that as governor OF
this state, he could continue tho work
of conservation with which his nam
has become associated in national
politics. II win be represented that
there remains a large field for work
which the federal government cannot
undertake, but which the governor ol
New York as a member of the hous,
Of governors could forward With com.
manding presence.
Dr. Lindsay defined clifford Pincho'
as an i%nsurgent with a difference.
Mr.. pinchot. he said, rs an in.
sureent SO FAR as conservation goei
and presumably his sympathics li'
with the insurgents on other ques
lions; but he cannot be classed as
fuil-fledgcd insurEent, lie II a pro
gressiye.
The personal relations between
President Taft and MIR. pinchot hRv
always been pleasant. and they wer
not Interrupted by their difference
over the conduct OF the interior de
partment We who favor his candi
dacy do not consider That hts nomina
ton could bo taken as an affront q
the national administration.
Among other callers az the colonel
editorial offices today were senate
heVeridgc OF Indiana Charles ,
NeiiL federal commissioner OF labor
and Marcel Ncrnct of Paris. a mem
her ot the Legion of Honor
