COLONEL 70 TAKE STUMP.
ALMOST READY TO YIELD TO
URGING OF SUPPORTERS.
Roosevelt, While Appearing Reluct-
ant - Adopt Such Course. Declares
He Might bc Forced To Personally
Appeal To People I'm Fight for Nom
instlon - states Where Speeches
Might Help Candidacy.

Oyster Bay. March s.-Col Roose-
Welt has about made up his mind
To take the stump and personally
make the fight in various parts OF
the country for the Presidential nom
ination. He said today ne probably
would be forced To do so. although he
was reluctant To decide on such a
course.
Since the day Of Col. Roosevelt 5
announcement that he was willing 20
accept the nomination. he has been
urged by supporters In almost every
state. except in the South. to make
a speech-making campaign.
IL has been represented TO him that
In several states the voters were In
doubt and that II he would appear
before them the result might be
materially affected. Governor Stubs
OF Kansas. sent message
yesterday urging the Colonel to make
speeches In Kansas. Michigan. ILL.,
nois. Massachusetts and other States
In which the Roosevelt leaders be-
lieve there Is the best chance for of-
fective work.
Col. Roosevelt said he would not
object To making a few speeches. but
as soon as he accepted any invitations
OF the sort he probably would have
others pressed on him and might find
IL difficult To- refuse. In addition 10
scheduled speeches he has been OBJ
liged. on his trips in the past. to talk
from his train 10 crowds at the rail-
way stations and he has found the
strain SO severe that he hesitated to
undertake IL again. He said, how
ever. that IL probably would be neces-
sary for him TO do so.
- Today he read President Taft's
speech at Toledo and said that he
probably would reply to it later.
