Roosevelt Wanted Intervention

Washington, February 26--The an- nouncement of Colonel Roosevelts will ingness to accept the presidential nomina- tion and his consequent open break with President Taft was declared here tonight to have. revived possibility in connec- tion with the threatened trouble in Mex leo.
 Senators, who claimed to be conversant with the facts. stated that just about a year ago, when the Madero revolution was at it's height in Mexico and the pos siblity of an intervention was being dis cussed, Colonel Roosevelt wrote letter to President Taft volunteering to head a regiment of cavalry which was to be in the forefront of the invading forces.
 Colonel Roosevelt. 1t Is said. stipulated his subordinate. officers were to be of his own choice and went so far as to name some of the men he would select. These included Col. Cecil A. Lyon, republican national committeeman from Texas; Jack" Abernathy, the wolf stranging marshal of. Oklahoma; Sloan Simpson of Texas, Rough Rider;' Secret Service Agent James Sloan, Jr., now with Presi- dent Taft, and several members of the old Rough Riders regiment of Cuban war fame.
 Eager for War
 Colonel Roosevelt. at that time, it is said, stated 1t was his highest ambition to again be in the saddle in time of war. The coloners letter to President Taft, ! asking to be placed in command of a Eregment, in the event of trouble in Mex tco, was addressed Dear Will" accord Ing to those who claimed to have seen the nocument
 President Taft's reply was addressed Dear Theodore" It stated, according No reports, that the colonels proposi- tion was very interesting indeed but Lthat the possibility of American inter- Nention was too remote a contingency 20 be considered at that tirne.

Boston. February 26.-Colonel Roose- welt plunged into the thick of the fight Tor the presidential nomination today. He said that he was in the fight and was glad of it. He replied to the charge that he would be breaking ms "third term pledge if he accepted an other nomination and asserted that whether or not he should be the choice , pf his party at the Chicago convention he would abide by its decision
 q am perfectly happy now.' said he ..secause I am making straight out fight for principle. The issue IS in no way a personal one
 'Do you intend to support the re- publican nominee whoever he may be?' he was asked.
 ' "Of course shall,' he replied with emphasis.
 In response to questions as to the principle for which he is fighting, Col onel Roosevelt referred questioners to his speeches in Columbus, Ohio, last week and before the Massachusetts house today. In his address today he defended his proposal for limited re- call of judges and championed the right , of popular opinion to control the ma chinery of government
 Explains About Third Term
 Colonel Roosevelt's position in re- gard to the third term" was explained lta, a snun,bsn. of ..llis- cal lers -tndaI---- ,fr My position Is perfectly simple he said. q stated it as clearly as I coul1 \ in 1904 and reiterated it in 1907 ] said that I would not accept non- ination for third term under any cir cumstances, meaning of course, a third consecutive term.
 q could not have said less at the time, nor could have said more Of course could not then know whether or not there would be demand for me to accept nomination at some fu- ture time. And believing. as I do, that the selection of candidates for the pres idency rests entirely with the people, could not have said that at no time in my life would l accept another nom- nation
 Consecutive Terms Only
 "It must be clear to any reasonable man that the precedent which forbids a third term has reference only to a tblrd consecutive term. It grew out of the fact that a President of the United States, under the present convention system of electing delegates can. if he knows how to use the machinery at his disposal. renominate himself, even though the majority of his party Is against him. But after he has been out UT Oiiice LOT u term Iie HdS lOSl coH- trol of that machinery. He is in the position absolutely of any private cit izen The machinery Is then in the hands of the man occupying the office of President"
 Colonel Roosevelt devoted large . part of the day to conferring with men l who are forming the Roosevelt cam paisn in Massachusetts.
 He told them he would notidentify | himself for the present, at least with k the organizations He talked for some Al time with Gov. Robert Bass of New N Hampshire, whom he is to meet again tomorrow.
 Colonel Roosevelt promised today to send letter to be read at the Isoosevelt rally, which will be held here Saturday night by progressive republican league. Governor Stubbs ol Kansas, ex-Governor Fort of New Jer- scy and Senator Clapp of Minnesota are expected to speak.

 somewhat Senator Stone introduced to-
 day resolution similar to the one
 which he presented last May designed
 to give the President authority to send
 troops across the border to prevent flr- ing into American territory. As for diplomatic entanglements that might result from such action, state depart
