Announcement
TO INFORM HIS FRIENDS
Declares the Colonel viii So Express
Himself In Speech as to Leave No
Doubt In Mind of Anyone.

Doubt IN MIND OF anyone
"Mr. Roosevelt is a candidate for the
presidency, and his friends will be SO
informed" said Medin Mccormick,
manager of the Roosevelt headquar-
ters in Washington, in a statement
Mr.. Mccormick made this statement
on his return to his desk after an alb
sence of several days.
When he left Washington Mr.. Nc
Cormick went first to New York,
where he held a conference with Mr.
Roosevelt. Later Mr. Mccormick went
to Chicago and conferred with the
Roosevelt leaders in that city. Mr.
Mccormick said:
"I have read Mr. Roosevelt's speech,
to be delivered before the constitu-
tional convention at Columbus, o. Mr.
Roosevelt is a candidate for the presi-
dency and his friends will be so in
formed. That he will declare himself in
so many words as a candidate for
president I will not say. I will say
however that within the next week
the Roosevelt hackers will begin work
in earnest all over the country in
their fight to secure the instruction Of
delegates to the Republican national
convention at Chicago pledged to the
candidacy Of Mr.. Roosevelt"
In the course of the Columbus
speech Mr. Roosevelt, while giving his
views concerning his attitude on public
questions now uppermost in the mind
of the people, VIII so express him
self as to leave no doubt in the mind
of anyone that he is not only a reCep
tive candidate for president, but that
he expects his friends to work for his
nomination from now on until the
meeting of the Chicago convention.
Another incident in connection wi h
Mr.. Roosevelt's forthcoming pro
nouncement on the presidency, which
adds strength to the statement Of
Manager Mccormick, was the visit Of
J. E. Little, of Charlotte, N. c., to th"
Roosevelt headquarters. Mr. Little
was secretary of the Republican "con
ference" which met at Chicago some
weeks ago, and declared in favor o.
the nomination of Senator LaFollette.
He said:
"The people all over the country
are restless, and unless Theodore
Roosevelt is selected as the standard
bearer of the country in the next cam.
paign we can look for the election OF
a Democrat"

BOY AVIATOR FLIES
over LAKE ERIE
Starts on Return From Canada
and is Missing,

Earl Sandt, an aviator from Erie
Pa, twenty-three years old, made a
fight from Erie to Port Rowan, Can
ada, over frozen Lake Erie.
Later he started from the Canadian
shore for Erie, but has not yet arrived
Searching parties have started to
cross the lake.
Sandt is said to be the first aviator
to cross the inland seas. The trip was
made in thirty-four minutes. In com
ing to the ground Sandt broke a rib
in his biplane, but the damage was
not serious.
A telephone message from the Ca
madam shore announced that Sandt
had departed for the American shore
When more than an hour passed and
the aviator failed to appear the huge
crowd which had assembled became
uneasy. Relatives and friends of Sandt
communicated with the Canadian side
and verified the report that he had
started the return flight.
A searching party composed Of
William Davis, Thomas Cravette, John
Hiney, Peter Merritt and Edward
Blair set out from Erie. The party is
afoot and will endeavor to cross the
frozen lakes in the hopes of finding
Sandt.
Walter Sandt, a brother of the avia-
tor, believes his brother met with an
accident and either crashed through
the ice and was drowned or is injured
beneath the wreckage of his machine
somewhere between Erie and Port
Rowan.
