CONTRIBUTING EDITORS DAY.
1t was the contributing editors day in the
Outlook Office to-day, and as usual there
was great deal doing. Little by little
the magazine folks are becoming used 70
the weekly visits OF Col Roosevelt. but
there stln remains that touch OF unusual
activity that causes Dr. Abbott and his
associates TO look triffe worried and
uneasy when the colonel comes to town.
The contributing ediFor was somewhat
wroth ovzr the ssories priEsed this nern-
ing concerning his conference with Rep
resentative Poindexter, OF Washington,
on Tuesday. One particular newspaper.
which Mr. Roosevelt mentioned, had
made him say that he had indorsed the
candidacy Of MIR. Poindexter against uen.
from the Ballinger wing OF the Repuhu-
can party in the State Of Washington.
He said he made no such statement
Whatever Inference might be drawn. tie
colonel, Of course, was not responsible
for. out he was angry when he read that
he had said things he had not said. How
ever, Col. Roosevelt did not negative the
inference made. The colonel dictated
this statement"
Mr.. Roosevelt viii see very many SEN
ators and Congressman. and assembly
men and other public officials represent.
ing all phases of political opinion. He
declines to be responsible for any state
ments. excepting those which he himself
makes. He has said nothing and intends
to say nothing as TO any contest for a
nomination. If he has anything TO say
on such subject it will be over his own
signature n
Is I'm sympathy.
"AIl that Mr.. Roosevelt said in this
case was that he was pleased TO find
that as he had expected from Afr. POin-
dexter's past record Mr.. Poindexter was
in hearty sympathy with Mr.. RoosevaIts
views as to conservation and similar sul
jects.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed no opinion
about the Senatorial contest, and Mr..
Roosevelt believes Mr.. Poindexter Is not
responsible for the statements that have
appeared. Certainly. in so far as these
statements have quoted Mr.. Roosevelt.
except as above indicated, they had no
foundation in fact"
When Col. Barnes. jr.. the Republican
leader. returns from his trip abroad he.
too. VIII be asked down to oyster Bay.
The colonel saw a clipping from q
morning paper. in which Barnes said that
Col. Roosevelt will have a fight on his
hands if he tries to push the Cobb bill
into the platform at Saratoga. Col.
Roosevelt laughed out loud. but did not
offer any comment He had said just be-
fore that that Barnes would come 20 oys-
ter Bay.
VIII Go to Pittsburg,
A delegation. the only one of the day.
from the Pittsburg civil committee.

colonel II he would make a speech before
their organization. The colonel accepted.
