no pain because of pressure Of the
bullet against his fractured rib. The
rib itself is believed to be mendinS
rapidly. When he awOke this morning,
the colonel wondered whether the at
tending physicians would decide to re-
move the bullet he said If ii was eX-
traCted he would have it gilded and
made into pocket piece
VIII Leave Hospital Monday.
Col Roosevelt viii leave Chicago
Tor oyster Bay on Monday or tuesday
OF next week. He will travel on one
OF the slower trains over the Penn
sylvania so that he may enter New
York at the station from which the
trains for Oyster Bay depart. This
program was decided upon today with
only the qualification that it depended
upon Col ROosevelt's continued and
Uninterrupted Improvement. This his
physicians confidently expect
Wants Campaign to Go On
The following statement was issued
by Col Roosevelt in answer to what
W i. Bryan said in his speech at
Franklin, Ind
I wish TO express my cordial agree
ment with the manly and proper state
ment Of Mr. Bryan, at Franklin, Ind,
when IN arguing Tor a continuance OF
the discussion OF the issues at stake
IN the contest, he said
The issues Of this campaign should
not be determined ~ the act Of an
assassin. Neither Col Roosevelt nor
his friends could ask that the discus
sion be turned away from the priu-
ciples that are involved. If he is
elected president it should be because
Of what he has done in the past and
what he proposes to do hereafter
81 wish TO point out however, that
neither I nor my friends have asked
that the discussion be turned away
from the principles that are involved
IN H. aHa1n
mand that the discussion be carried on
precisely as if / had not been shot I
shall be sorry If Mr.. Wilson does not
keep on the stump. and I feel that he
owes it TO himself and the American
people to continue on the stump.
L wish to make one more comment
on Mr. Bryan's statement It is, Of
course, perfectly true that in voting for
me or against me, consideration must
be paid TO what I have done in the
past and to what I propose to do But
it seems to me far more important that
consideration should be paid TO what
the Progressive party proposes to do
Principles and Not Men
Il cannot too strongly emphasize the
fact upon which we PrOgressives insist
that the welfare Of any one man in
this fight is wholly immaterlal com
pared to the great and fundamental
issues involved in the triumph Of the
principles for which our cause stands
II j had been killed the night WOulQ
have gone on exactly the same
Governor Johnson, senator Bever-
idge, Mr. Straus, senator BristOW, Miss
Jane Adams, Clifford PinchoL judge
Ben Lindsey, Raymond Robbins, Nj
Prendergast and the hundreds Of other
men now on the stump are preaching
the doctrines that have been preach
ing and stand and represent just the
same cause. They would have cOntin-
ued the fight in exactly the same way
If ] had been killed, and they are con-
tinuing in il just the same way now
that I am for the moment laid up
so far as my opponents are con
cerned, whatever could with truth and
prOpriety have been said against me
and my cause before I was shot can
with equal truth and propriety said
agai1-- me and II now should be so
said ri the things that cannot be I
said are merely the things that I
ought not to have been said before 4
This is not a contest about any man;
it is q contest concerning principles
IF my broken rib heals fast enough
to relieve my breathing, I shall hope
TO be able to make one or two speeches (
in this campaign; in any event, if am
not able to make them the men I have
mentioned above and the hundreds like
them viii be stating our case right to
the end Of the campaign. and 7 trust
our opponents viii be stating their
case also.
