ROOSEVELT PLANS TO KEEP
IN BACKGROUND DURING
APPROACHING CAMPAIGN

Oyster Bay, July 27.-Those who
heard Theodore Roosevelt talk at Saga
more Hill this afternoon came away
with a sharply etched shadow picture
of what his attitude Will be in state and
national politics. Primarily he wishes
to keep in the background in the ap-
preaching campaign. for he feels that,
taking too prominent a part in 1t he
may be accused of assuming a dfcta-
torial position.
These views Colonel Roosevelt has
explained to those who have come to
see him recently. He tells his visitors
that he is anxious to take a hand as a
private citizen, but he is willing to go
no further.
Broadly speaking, he will, as he has
said on several occasions, do all in his
power to help the men who stood by
him and his policies formulated during
his years In the White House.
The republican situation in this state
is shifting so rapidly that the colonel
says he Is having trouble keeping pace
with 1t. He repeated his recent. declar-
alton that the people must choose their
man for governor and that his nomina-
tion must result from this fact not be-
cause one man or one set of men
wanted him. To this statement he add
ed that he had not even decided wheth-
er to attend the republican state con-
vention at Saratoga.
When the colonel heard the news of
the Ohio republican convention he was
silent and motionless in his chair for a
full minute. He looked as though he
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-07-28

wanted to say something, and the inter-
viewers leaned forward for his expected
statement on Ohio politics. Suddenly he
brought his hands together with smack
and said mot a word to say gentle
men, not word" He said he had not
been reading upon Nebraska politics
lately and had not heard how w. J. Bry-
an had Jared In the democratic conven-
tion in that state. The interviewers
broke the news of the setback to his for
mer rival and the colonel asked whether
the difficulties of opinion had arisen be-
cause Mr.. Bryan went too far or not far
enough in his proposed temperance legis-
lation. After he was told that the for
mer seemed to flt the case there was
nothing which he cared to add In COM
ment on Mr.. Bryan.
One of the curious letters which help
to make life interesting at Sycamore Hill
caused great amusement to Mr.. Roose-
welt today. 1t was from some person. he
said who denounced him for trying to
keep from the public the fact that he
was Interested In politics. When Mr..
Roosevelt was in New York last Friday.
he said, after conference with several
politicians. that he had had an interest
Ing discussion on literature.
The newspapers printed his little joke
which brought forth the letter received
today. The writer accused the ex-presi-
dent of trying to make people think he
had been discussing literature instead of
politics, and wound up by saying; May
be YOU can fool the feeble minded re-
porters but you can't fool the public like
that, know. all the time Whereat
the colonel remarked that 1t is never safe
for a man in public life to crack jokes.

ILLINOIS MINERS
PROTEST STRONGLY

Springfield. ILL.,, July 27.-At a mass
meeting of 5000 miners held here to-
day T. L. Lewis, president OF the United
Mine Workers of America, and the
committee selected to effect a com
promise of the Peoria agreement, were
vigorously denounced.
John H. Walker, state president was
the principal speaker. He was given
great ovation as he reviewed the
history of the strike and condemned
the attitude of the national president.
Resolutions were adopted by the
mass meeting condemning the present
scale and otherwise stating the posi-
tfon of the miners. Acceptance of the
terms of the compromise, according to
President Walker, means an acknowl-

PROHIBITION is
HIT HARD In TEXAS

San Antonio, Texas, July T.-(Specia1)
While 1t would be premature to say that
prohibition in Texas had been definitely
defeated there Is now no longer any
doubt that the state will not go dry for a
long time to come. If, indeed, 1t ever
will. In addition to giving Colquitt, the
anti-prohibition candidate for governor,
an unexpectedly large majority, voters
at the primary polls are divided almost
evenly on the question of submission
In view of the fact that the latter phase
of this years campaign does not repre-
sent the liquor question as much as 1t
does a principle In democratic govern
ment, this also constitutes defeat for
the prohibitionists.
Returns indicate that fully one-half of
the citizens who voted for submission,
would vote against constitutional
amendment prohibiting the traffic of al
coholic beverages In the state The stand
taken by them is that the submission of
such an amendment to vote of the peo-
pie is a constitutional right they have
and that final settlement of the pro-
hibition question to the satisfaction of all
can only be brought about by submission.
Johnson the prohibition gopernatorial
candidate, did not make as fine show
Ing as his friends expected, and with
Poindexter who ran on platform SINH
lar to his on the liquor question, the
prohibition faction polled only about as
many votes as did Colquitt by himself.
Davidson, an anti in favor of submission,
made a rather poor run. but added con-
siderably to the anti side. With but few
returns out, the antis are running the
pros in proportions of u to s.
The vote In favor of submission Is only
several hundred stronger than that of
the anti-prohibitionists and the final
count may even reduce this majority. The
candidates for lieutenant governor shared
in the main the favor or disfavor of the
gubernatorial candidates from the same
camp.
