NEW YORK, July 29.-Gifford Pin
chot, former chief forester under Theo-
dore Roosevelt, took a place today on
tie list of possible candidates for the
Republican nomination for governor OF
New York and Theodore Roosevelt was
asked to support his candidacy.
While the former president has not
said anything that in any way re-
sembles an outspoken declaration in
favor of any candidate it is believed
that he does not look unkindly on the
boom.
DR.. Samuel McCune Lindsay, for
mer commissioner of education of For'
to Rico and now a professor of ColuTn-
bia university, is the man who launched
the new boom. He had q long and
confidential talk today with Colonel
Roosevelt and left with the air OF a
man well pleased with the turn things
had taken.
DR.. Lindsay explained that although
Pinchot had often been absent from
New York in recent years, he has al
ways retained his legal residence in
this city and regularly voted here. The
fact that he was talked of at one time
as a possible candidate for governor
of Pennsylvania was based, said DR..
Lindsay, on the false idea that Pin
chot's legal residence was at Milford,
Pa, where he has a country place.
CLOSE FRIEND OF BOTH
Dr. Lindsay is close friend of both
Colonel Roosevelt and Pinchot. In
common with other friends he has been
working quietly on the Pinchot boom
for some time and first suggested TO
Pinchot himself the possibility that he
nigh run. No definite answer, he said,
was returned.
Colonel Roosevelt was told today
that, in the opinion of Pinchot's
friends he could draw support from
tie same sources which had given
power to Governor Hughes in his last
campaign.
Pinchot is represented as in sym.
pathy with the general trend of the
Hughes progressive policy.
| Pinchot is now on his way east, and
on his return will have another con
ference with his old chief. DR.. Lind
say will tell him then that as gov
ernor of this state he could continue
| the work of conservation with which
his name has become associated in
national policies. 1t will be represen-
ted that there remains a large field
for work which the federal government
cannot undertake but which the gov
ernor of New York as a member Of
the house of governors could forward
with commanding presence.
DR.. Lindsay defined Clifford Pinchot
AN INsURGENT
"Mr. Pinchot," he said, sis an insur-
gent so far as conservation goes and
presumably his sympathies lie with the
insurgents on other questions; but he
cannot be classed as a full fledged in
surgent. He is a progressive.
The personal relations between Pres
ident Taft and Mr.. Pinchot have al
ways been pleasant and they were not
interrupted by their differences over
the conduct of the interior department.
We who favor his candidacy do not
consider that his nomination could be
taken as an affront to the national adj
ministration."
United State Senator Albert ]. Bev-
eridge was an early caller today at the
Roosevelt offices.
Col. Roosevelt, after his talk with
Senator Beveridge, announced his In
diana speech for Senator Beveride
would be delivered in Indianapolis Oo-
tober 13.
Senator Beveridge called on me last
night at Oyster Bay" said Col. Roose-
welt, land again called this morning.
did not know he was coming. 1 shall
make my Indiana speech in Indian
apolis."
REFUSES TO TALK
Senator Bevertdge told the newspaper
men that he had just run in from In
dianapolis for few hours and was
going back right away. Stanton OF
Bayonne, N. j., a brother of Speaker
Philip A. Stanton of the assembly of
California, who is a candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor IN
that state, called on Roosevelt today.
Mr.. Stanton had been stirred by news
paper reports that Col. Roosevelt was
for Hiram Johnson and that Clifford
Pinchot had gone west in Mr.. John
sons interest.
Col Roosevelt made the following
statement in the matter:
II have told Mr.. Stanton that have
refused to take part in this contest for
the nomination for governor, just as I
have refused to take part in all similar
contests"
United States Senator William War
ner of Missouri, Frank B. Kellogg of
st. Paul, Charles p. Neill, federal com
missioner of labor, and Marcel N. Yer
net of Paris, a member of the Legion
of Honor, also called on Col. Roosevelt.
