How far the colonel will go TOWARD
attempting to get John Mitchell into
line for the nomination is uncertain
Mr.. Roosevelt said that, while he had
been friends with Mitchell for many
years, he had never thought of him
as a possibility for governor, probably
because he was under the impression
that Mitchell is a resident of Illinois
He has learned from others, however
that the labor leader has maintained q
residence III Mount Vernon for the last
two years and has been actively en-.
gagged in this city as chairman of the
trades agreement committee of the
National Civic federation.
Mr.. Roosevelt ADMITTED that he had
