ROOSEVELT RUM0R DENIED
No Thought of Being Editor Of
1.-The Press" Says Munsey.

a rumor published yesterday that Theo-
dore Roosevelt was to become editor of
1.-THE New York Press after November
6. in the event that he was not elected
President OF the United States was de-
MED by Frank A. Munsey, owner OF the
newspaper. Mr.. Munsey also dismissed
thu second part of the rumor, which had
!. that The Press" was bought by George
w. Perkins and oscar S. Straus, while
Mr.. Munsey's name was used as that Of
the owner in order to avoid complications.
When the story was told TO Mr.. Mum
sey, he gave the following as an answer
to the rumor:
What you say to me about the rumor
that Mr.. Roosevelt IL to become editor
OF The New York Press" after Noven1..
Der 9, is the first intimation / have had
on the subject. I have never discussed
this idea with Mr.. Roosevelt. neither
has he discussed II with me, neither
has II ever been discussed or thought OF
by anybody, to my knowledge,
1t goes without saying that II Colonel
Roosevelt is not elected President. moth
ing would please me so much as to Sc
cure a man OF his ability for any one
of my newspapers, but that | could do
so has never occurred 10 me. and. as a
matter OF fact, do not believe 1t could
be done.
] do not mind saying In this connec-
ton that the salary that has already
been fixed upon In Park Row, $4,000 a
year. wouldn't stand in the way. In
deed, / think / could make money IN
my publishing business on Mr.. Roosevelt
at salary Of hundred thousand dol
lars year.
i am sorry to disappoint Park Row
in being compelled TO say that Mr. George
w. Perkins and Mr.. Oscar Straus had
nothing to do with the purchase of The
New York Press and that no other
man anywhere had anything TO do with
the purchase OF The New York Press"
Neither has any other man anywhere
had anything 10 do with the purchase
OF any OF my publishing properties. nor
has any man anywhere any hold on my
publishing properties, newspapers or
magazines. They are quite Independent
of Wall Street. quite Independent of
politics, quite Independent Of banks
and bankers, and OF every one else,
They are my own properties, 10
conduct as seems 10 me wise and to the
best interests OF the community.

Governor Hiram w. Johnson OF CALI
fornia, who is running for Vice-President
on Theodore Roosevelt's ticket made his
tour through Brooklyn last night and
was everywhere received with great en-
thusiasm. outside each hall the crowds
followed him to his automobile and
gathered about 1t 80 closely that the po-
lice had to drive them away.
HIS tour started with a dinner given for
him at the Montauk club. on Eighth ave-
nue.. Timothy l.. Woodruff acted as toast
master Mrs. johnson and Mrs. Woodruff
presided over another table occupied by
wives Of various other candidates. While
the dinner was under way Mayor Gaynor.
who rs a member Of the club and lives
not far away, strolled In, shook hands
with Mr.. Woodruff and was introduced
20 Governor Johnson. The Mayor con-
GRADUATED the Governor and wished him
good luck in his mission. The Mayor
stayed only few minutes and then left
for home, saying that he was quite too
tired TO stay up late.
Both Governor Johnson and Senator
Joseph NJ Dixon, who sat at his side
made short and pleasant speeches
Others at the dinner were General Hora-
ito C. King. the Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills. Father John l.. Belford. the Rev.
DIR. Macy MEG. Waters and George A.
Green. In his speech Mr.. Woodruff re-
ferred to Mrs. Johnson as the boss, the
only boss the Governor has ever known"
Governor Johnson said briefly
This Is going to be the bulliest fight
I'm all the land We are going 10 put
Roosevelt back In the White House Just
as sure as I stand here, gentlemen. /
don't talk to you as stranger, FOR !
come from California. and out there we
are cosmopolized."
General King and Mr.. Woodruff then
hustled the Governor into his automo-
bile and they scooted away TO Kismet
Hall. where he was to make his first for
NAL address in Brooklyn. The hall was
crowded with nearly three thousand peo-
pie, who stood up and cheered wildly
when they saw the Governor.
"Our struggle is as old as humanity"
he said 1T has been gradual evolu-
ton, until now It has become the ma
tons aspiration. This year you have a
candidate for Governor who Is the peer
OF any In the nation. He is kindly.
gentle. but forceful. able and militant
for the right. lie should commend him
self to you in this state. as he has done
to the people OF all the other states. The
fundamental idea of the Progressive
party Is expressed In one sentence OF that
platform already reverted to. and that is
that the first duty of nation Is TO con-
serve Its natural resources. And UPON
that line and with that idea In View. this
fight is worthy of any man or woman In
the nation, and calls forth the highest.
the best and purest that there is in our
citizenship.
''Oh! the sin. the shame OF II! that this
great nation should annually feed to the
avarice and greed OF man hundreds OF
thousands of Uniformed children! This
year Progressivism will stop II. We de-
mand a minimum wage for women
that is, living wage for women. do

Bracket Speaks for Commit
tee-Party Instrument to
Restore Decent Govern
ment, Wadsworth Says.

Candidates on the Republican state
ticket were formally notified of their
nomination i'm the parlors OF the Repub-
lican Club, in West 40th street, yester-
day afternoon.
"AIy good father, whose name have a
right TO revere" said Job f Hedges,
candidate for Governor. in response to
the speech Of notification Of Senator
Brackett, passed away at Petersburg
and ! consider myself at this moment
(not for the purpose Of indulging IN po-
litical rhetoric) engaged in as serious a
contest as he was when he ceased 10 De
q part Of the temporal army OF THIS
great nation"
This sentiment, which was greeted
with prolonged applause. struck the ke!
note Of the occasion.
The narlors were not large enough TO
hold all those who wished to hear the
candidates, although no attempt was
made to provide chairs on account OF
the lack of room. The audience reacheo
halfway down the stairs TO the main
floor. State Chairman Barnes and man!
members Of the state committee were
present s. s Koenig, president OF the
county committee, and most of the mem
bers Of that committee were In the aual-
ence. Many other prominent members
Of the party were there
soscrowded was the room that James
VI. Wadsworth, jr., candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, was not able to make
his way to the table where the candl-
dates were grouped around Senator
Bracket until after he had finished his
speech. The ceremonies were started pS
] Van Vechten Olcott. president of the
club. who introduced Senator Bracket''

you were selected, said Senator
Brackett. addressing all the candidates.
because the party believed that you De-
leved i'm the principles of the Republican
party. and, If elected. you would stano
for those principles.
"Our friends the enemy have sreatiS
heartened us by the action they took al
Syracuse. In the past two years they have
done or have not done something TO be
proud of. If they have not done anything
they should be removed from the seat oil
government If they have done some
thing. then by their action at Syracuse
they have solemnly resolved they will do
no more. for they declined to put on their
ticket the man responsible for what may
have been done"
Mr.. Hedges spoke at some length on one
question of particular Importance 10 this
city. He had been asked, he said, whether
he believed in a state constabulary law.
His reply was that he did not believe in
such a measure, being an advocate OF
home rule, but he did agree with the
declaration Of the platform that there
should be some state body with power to
make an investigation Of police conditions
whenever il was deemed necessary.

Mr. Hedges quoted from Colonel Roose-
velt's life OF Gouverneur Morris: ION the
judiciary his Governor Morris's) Views
were also sound: he upheld the power Of
the judges and maintained that they
should have absolute decision as TO the
constitutionality Of law"
This, the speaker declared sarcastically,
was rare and radical doctrine in these
sententious times
