Taft and Cabinet Don't Take Seriously
His Views on Trusts Expressed in
Outlook.
Col Theodore Roosevelt was in
merry humor yesterday as he found
the ante-room of his New York edito-
rial Office crowded with visitors and
hundreds of letters and kilograms
upon his desk written by supporters
who wished to know If they should
turn in asd go to work.
Despite repeated efforts by report
ers the colonel refused to make the
slightest comment upon his editorial
in the Outlook supporting 'sbig BUSH
ness interests" that is believed by
many of his friends to indicate he is
again in a receptive frame Of mind as
concerns the presidential nomination
in 1912.
'Not one word to say-not one
word" was his response to scores of
inquiries.
One unusual feature Of the day was
the refusal OF Colonel Roosevelt's sec
rotary to make public the list Of visi-
tors. While he was president an OH
cial list was kept always open for in
spection, and during the campaign last
year the same course was observed.
When yesterdays list was asked for it
was announced
There will be list Of visitors an
| nounced today"
This announcements taken in connec-
ton with the fact that there was a
sudden rush of visitors created some
comment. It is understood the form
er president will revive his practice
of having many of his visitors as
| guests at luncheon in his home at Oys-
ter Bay.
While names were not made public,
/ it is known that among Col. Roose-
velt's visitors were many of the men
bitterly opposed to the Barnes domi-
nation of the republican state com
mittee.
Several reporters sent notes to Col
Roosevelt asking if he had changed
his mind and might become a candi
date before the 1912 convention.
He declined to be seen by any per-
son wishing to ask this question, and
the response to the notes was: Moth
ing to say"
| He was asked if he expected to see
Barnes, the Albany boss, during the
week, and again came the reply:
Nothing to say"
One of Col. Roosevelt's editorial as
sociates on the Outlook was asked il
the colonePs latest statement might
be construed as meaning that Mr.
Roosevelt will consent to be candi-
date against President Taft. The edi-
tor replied:
